I finally started playing Denshattack and it's SO freaking good! The vibe, the UI, the music, the art style - it's the game-iest game I've played in a good while, and it feels amazing from the first minute.

Productive! Set up a system for carrying objects. (and throwing them) Weapon stealing is back on the menu. Certainly more streamlined. I also added impact frames fx. Because I am a monster. Oh. Blood. Lots of cartoon cyborg blood. (I am aware that I misspelled 'Equipped') #CherubDev #UE5

Read the German wikipedia article on existentialism and thought it was a bit reductive, framing it as a mostly French movement with barely a mention of Jaspers, Kierkegaard or Heidegger. The English version doesn't share that problem.
Screenshot from English Wikipedia on existentialism: "Some contemporary films dealing with existentialist issues include Melancholia, Fight Club, I Heart Huckabees, Waking Life, The Matrix, Ordinary People, Life in a Day, Barbie, and Everything Everywhere All at Once.[100] Likewise, films throughout the 20th century such as The Seventh Seal, Ikiru, Taxi Driver, the Toy Story films, Pokémon: The First Movie, The Great Silence, Ghost in the Shell, Harold and Maude, High Noon, Easy Rider, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, A Clockwork Orange, Groundhog Day, Apocalypse Now, Badlands, and Blade Runner also have existentialist qualities."

And if you already played and enjoyed the game, this would be a great time to take a minute and leave a thumbs up on Steam. We're just 1% below "overwhelmingly positive" - your vote makes a difference!

There's still a bit of summer left (at least in central Europe 🙂). Take a moment and catch yourselves some sunlight!
A screenshot from the game "Dungeons of Hinterberg" featuring Luisa hanging out with a dog. She's thinking: "Being on holiday means you can take time to let anything be the center of your world for a while.""There's a pleasant little evening breeze tonight, and I can choose to do nothing else but sit and enjoy it.""I might make a memory of it, or I might forget. No matter what, it's just right."(Looking at the dog) "This guy probably knows all about that."

relooted is being made by a team of developers from numerous african countries, but only its white south african creative director was able to demo it to summer game fest attendees. this was most certainly not always the plan
“At least three people before me in the queue were denied without having their documents looked at,” they said. “In fact, as I left the consulate, someone else who had their visa approved with no issue, who had no travel history and did not provide concrete travel plans, asked me if I noticed what was happening inside. You can probably guess what the main difference between myself and this other applicant is.”

Myres believes he was only able to attend SGF on behalf of Nyamakop because of his unique history: While he was born in Australia, his parents moved to South Africa when he was just six months old. Due to their histories and his own, he possesses an Australian passport, a South African passport, and a British passport. This has repeatedly come in handy for Nyamakop, which – even prior to the past few years’ documented increase in refusal rates of visas from African countries – faced difficulties when it came to visiting Western countries.

"We had the same problem on our previous project where, if I didn't have a British passport, basically our company wouldn't exist,” Myres told Aftermath. “Because if you don't have enough lead time to go to important events, you just can't get a visa from an African country. And on [Relooted] specifically, it's kind of fucked up to be making a game about reclaiming African artifacts that are in Western countries, and Africans [on the team] can't even visit those artifacts. Hundreds of dollars in visa application fees, and then it might get declined. Thousands of dollars for accommodations and flights just to even visit your own cultural heritage, and that's a best-case scenario. But in this case, most of the people on the continent can't even get a visa to travel [to the United States]."

One element of the Dragon Age story that I want to emphasize: If the team had known in 2021 (after the single-player pivot) that they'd ship in Oct 2024, it'd be a much different game. Instead they were always under the impression they had to finish in 6-12 months, which led to all sorts of problems
