A game is basically a series of items.

I'm beyond happy to share that El Dorado is now available to play in @counter-strike.net ! This has been an on and off passion project for the last 3 years so to finally see this in the game is a great feeling! Shoutout to @flowlee-art.bsky.social for the art support and Aleks for the murals.

Added some wind. Why fix a bug when you can just cover it up with a new feature - the rope physics wasn't always super stable but the wind now hides it pretty well... And the wind cone is fun to look at. #ScreenshotSaturday #Godot

This is true, though, and actually super destructive. When communities get so toxic and loud despite offering no useful criticism beyond "I hate this" "content", the whole place goes on ignore - even if there's good feedback in there later. Nobody wins. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/angry-w...

It's the 2nd anniversary of Enshrouded, which is a respectable but small number. So here's a bunch of very big numbers, from our ever more numerous players! 5 MILLION of you have stepped into Embervale (and then on average each of you fell to your death about 10 times)!🪦 Thanks, Flameborn! ❤️

An infographic of Enshrouded showcasing a bunch of milestones reached. The most salient points are: 20901 years collectively spent playing Enshrouded, Fell soldier is the deadliest enemy, and the game has reached over 5 million players!

It's a bit disappointing how lacking in maps arms race is in @counter-strike.net nowadays. Even if it's not the mode that brings in the numbers, 2 maps from valve and 1 community map since release is sad.

Radu Tanasie @radutanasie.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

Pretty lacklustre episode 3 with a dumb alien encounter. They did this in Romulus as well where the aliens are dictated by the script not to move too fast or kill a character because reasons. But that always ends up being unconvincing. It's bad writing.

So far Alien: Earth seems pretty promising! Some questionable extra creature designs compared to the original alien, but maybe they will deliver some interesting surprises. I also wonder who picked the credit songs. They surprisingly fit, but so unexpected. Waiting for episode 3

Decided to check out how water is rendered in Counter-Strike 2. Given how interactive water in CS2 is, I expected to see some cellular fluid simulation, but turns out they just use a low-resolution off-screen buffer with flat 2D decals used for various aspects of water. Reminds me of HL2 water :)
