This week @geoffkeene.bsky.social, founder of Abiotic Factor dev Deep Field Games, took me on a guided tour of his PC. He told me about thriving in Arc Raiders, struggling with Dying Light, and playing the old hits in Warcraft 2. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Geoff 'Zag' Keene, design director of Abiotic Factor, has 1,160 hours in PUBG and de-stresses using a Blizzard classic: 'Instead of going to therapy, guys will literally boot up Warcraft 2'
The founder of Deep Field Games talks Arc Raiders, PUBG, and his love of jank in games.

No Rest for the Wicked = sleeper hit. Deeper than any Diablo, it's got all the Souls-like dreary/cozy vibes, extremely rich character cinematics, amazing art style, petting dogs and cats, and the combat is super punchy. Incredible. I would've looked right over it without the co-op+free weekend.

Real booms don't need artificial adoption to grow. Nobody needed to be forced to start wanting lightbulbs in their homes because they actually solved problems people wanted solved.

Always good to remind yourself that a government can make anything legal. Asking "was this legal?" is for sure the wrong question.

It does feel like they're just kinda pointing at ARC Raiders going "we're also doing that guys, we swear!"

"in our FANTASY, this location--" "There's a giant ship looming in the SKYBOX--" "THE DESIGN TEAM thought we should--" Come on guys, sell the suspension of disbelief a little? This is like reading a design document. Zzzz

There's some extremely mechanical with how they're all talking about the game. I swear the old Bungie vidocs used to describe things less in terms of "video game mechanics." Rubs me the wrong way. Game looks good, though!

I lived off a partner for years - essentially - while working on Unfortunate Spacemen. It makes getting up in front of a crowd and talking about "my journey to success" feel priviledged and fake. But it's common and there is often no other option. Support structures matter, make sure you have one.

I didn't mention demos? What I did say was if you want to get hired making video games, you should show video games and video game experience, above all else. "Experience" is too vague - just be clear in what you're making. Is it a shooter? A puzzle game? Story-driven walking sim? Labels are good.
