RIP Viktor Antonov. I wish I told you how much admiration I had for you but we get caught in our lives until a surprise like this hits us. You were instrumental to the success of Arkane Studios and an inspiration to many of us, also a friend with whom I have many fond memories

I worry for American game dev. Europe make equally good games for a fraction of the cost. America isn’t in the leading position it had in the 90s. And China is catching up too. The main culprit is the salary difference, but what is the solution? Cost of living here is absurd. Not blaming the devs

Latest single from my other passion project: Weird Wolves. Give it an ear ;) share if you like it. We’re on IG if you want to support us there. The song is also on our Spotify Playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/1pu...

Genuine question (with a bit of a judgement, I admit). Anyone knows why the Thief4 guys didn’t use Steve Russel for Garret’s voice? It’s criminal, sorry can’t help the judgement. There’s got to be a rational answer.

Great news for Spotify who’s finally profitable Now Daniel @eldsjal.bsky.social, would you please pay the artists fairly by switching to a user centric model? My band has 250 super listeners and we only make a few bucks a month. Not cool. (Weird Wolves)

There we go! Signing a publisher is part of the long road to ship a game, and it is a critical piece to the magic. We’re super happy to announce our partnership with Neowiz. The stars align for our new baby to come out and hopefully you’ll love it as much as we do www.gematsu.com/2025/02/wolf...

To Stalker2 devs: I love your game, but you taught me not to search corpses (they are never interactive), until 20 hours into the game whete you hide a key in a corpse… (roll eyes). I had to look it up on youtube as I was stuck.

Stalker2 is not perfect but it’s my Game Of The Year. The atmosphere, the brutality of the world, the survival, the free form exploration… Last game I enjoyed before this was BG3

My previous post was a bit controversial. Hopefully this one will be received better: 70% on metacritic can either mean it’s a mediocre game or it’s an amazing game that has bugs at launch and needs patching. I don’t think Metacritic helps in making the difference between the 2.

Raphael Colantonio @rafcolantonio.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

The Metacritic ecosystem encourages devs to make safe boring games. As long as a game is polished at launch, you’re guaranteed a 80%, no matter how boring the game might be. Meanwhile Stalker2 gets a 73 because it’s a bit rough on the edges at launch. Unfair, misleading..

How do you like your villains in games?

1. New genre of game is successful, biz people are shocked 2. biz run analytics and focus on new strategy from now on 3. biz abuse new strategy shamelessly 4. Market says F.U. 5. Biz panic 6. Old genre is successful, biz people shocked 7. Old genre = New strategy, goto 2

Exactly 25 years ago. A bunch of friends and I started the company of our dreams called Arkane Studios, having no idea someday it would celebrate its 25th anniversary. I’m not part of Arkane anymore, but it’s still in my heart. Sending love to all my friends keeping it alive.

I’m at that stage where when I see a realistic video on social media I wonder for a second if it’a real or AI. Anyone else feels that constant doubt? It’s uncomfortable

@lucyjamesgames might have played the current build of our new game at Gamescom

A bit more teasing… Demoing the new game to potential publishing partners.

We’ll reveal a bit more about our next game in a few days… Fans of the previous 1st person games I was involved with (Dishonored and Prey) will be happy.

Reunion at Arkane Austin office. This was last summer. ⁦@Harvey1966⁩ ⁦⁦@GaGzZzYT⁩. Manu (Art Director of Prey) and Tof (Level Director Dishonored) are not on X, but they’re still cool.

Had an absolute blast in Cyprus at GDCy with @GL33kler. Thank you @blessmepadre to connect us with the organizers and making all that happen. Also: Good to wield that @weirdwolvesband bass again on stage with @ChooseHellth

Old picture on my Iphone of a meeting with @RicardoBare during the Beta of #Prey. We assessed that the game sucked in term of accessibility/fun/clarity, so we scrambled to take decisions on how to course correct. Proof that gamedev is hard... Also sorry for the bad hand writing

Raphael Colantonio @rafcolantonio.bsky.social · 09/05/2024

Emotions aside (future tweet), MS proves to be short sighted in that instance, they have infinite money and could have waited for Arkane Austin to do it again, which they would have. It will cost valuable Gamer Credits to MS and reinforce the evil corp image. Bad move. Baffling

Sneak Peek into our Austin office where we are hard at work on our next game. 👀 @lucasloredo @stevenandgames

I just beat Redfall in SP, now playing MP with @avagoreaphobia. I waited for the patches, my experience was pretty smooth. I really enjoyed exploring the world, especially District2.

(1/4) Setting the record straight about Arkane: both Lyon and Austin are amazing. Dishonored 1 was incubated and led in Austin: story, lore, creative direction, by Harvey, and myself. Lyon was in charge of the art (under Seb and Viktor)
