Hot damn...the second chapter of Blumhouse's Fear the Spotlight is excellent. It opens up after the game "ends," but honestly, it's way more interesting and far scarier than anything that comes before it.

I'm thinking of finishing @cozygamepals.bsky.social Fear the Spotlight off-stream so I don't spoil the ending for anyone. I've really enjoyed it so far and kind of hate the idea of potentially ruining the experience for someone. But yeah, play this game. It's really well done.

Fear the Spotlight is really worth your time. It’s a nice midpoint between Crow Country and Mouthwashing on the story/mechanics spectrum, and the story and tone do some unexpected and welcome tricks. Highly recommend. @cozygamepals.bsky.social

This character was an important early step towards the final character design in Journey. I designed it before the game was greenlit, in the first weeks of the project. Elements of it stuck around until the end, and it helped define the art direction. I'll share a bit about it in this thread.

Played through Fear the Spotlight this week. Excellent indie horror game where you're stuck in a high school and a creepy house after a seance gone bad. Very tense atmosphere amplified by amazing audio design (creaky doors, footsteps, etc) and charming retro visuals. Enjoyed it a lot!

10th anniversary Journey thread, recreated: I was the art director of thatgamecompany's Journey. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.

The intro title shot from the PS3 game Journey. This is from the finished game. The title "Journey" is displayed above a distant mountain, with the player character seeing it from atop a sand dune.

The intro title shot from a work in progress version of Journey. The title's font is different, the composition is asymmetrical, and the distant mountain is not as tall as the final version.

My initial sketch for the title shot for the game Journey. A simple, small line drawing featuring the player character in the foreground and the mountain in the distance.

Between the two main characters charming and cute dynamic to the horrors of loss and insecurity, you really did capture every queer high schoolers first gay date ever. Honestly though, I've followed the game since the demo dropped and it was everything I was hoping to see. My favorite game of 2024

New review! @naetoid.bsky.social called Fear the Spotlight "the most comprehensively satisfying horror game I've played in years." Satisfying, tactile puzzles, off-putting figures in the shadows, and characters that make you feel all warm & tender make it one to return to. 🕯️ bit.ly/VGG-FearSpotlight
