Normal Golf Game, the most unconventional take on hitting a golf ball since Wii Sports, is a beautifully weird triumph and a GOTY candidate. It was a pleasure talking to its designer about making such a chaotic experiment remapradio.com/articles/the-most-no…

The state of the industry is so incredibly painful. I hate that basically everywhere is dealing with reductions and closures. Of all the ways this could be handled, KO_OP continues to school us on equitable paths, even in the toughest of circumstances. 💔

I keep waiting for another rocket launch during sunset so I can make a time lapse of it. This is the closest I've gotten in a while. You can see the trails at high altitude have blown into a spiral that catches the last bits of the sun after the rest of the sky has gone dark.

Lots of excitement about the squeaky beach sounds in Big Walk! You'll all be happy to know it's the real thing! Was absolutely giddy to get to record them on an actual Australian squeaky beach in Wilson's Promontory. Yes, if you didn't know some beaches there really do squeak. It is pure joy.

Years in the making, I finally have a working prototype of my Camera GBD-M2 (previously shared as Game Boy Camera M2). A sequel to the Game Boy Camera M1, this new redesign uses original Game Boy Pocket & Game Boy Camera chips into a camera-like shape roughly the same size as the Ricoh GR III.

A photo of the Camera GBD-M2 back, in my hand with grass in the background. It's attached to a camera strap.

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

Yesterday’s layoffs at Bethesda Games Studios were not a cut of “14 layers of management”. We lost dozens of programmers, artists, designers and testers. Many of whom worked at BGS for decades.

If Bethesda fans are worried this will harm the quality of our future games, like TES VI, let Microsoft know!

Four studios being divested (Compulsion, Undead Labs, DoubleFine, Ninja Theory) account for around 350 of the job cuts, I'm told. Arkane could add 100+ more to that total While the fate of those studios will draw a lot of attention, the lion's share of the 3,200 cuts are outside those teams

I love how self descriptive the word "monotonous" is. Just look at all those Os... And the Ns?! There's 2 Ns, essentially a double N and an upside down one. It's just so repetitive.
