Needless to say I am very fucking proud that Maddie took this one out! Maddie’s work is tremendous, her writing is sharp and funny. She has big ideas and is willing to reach for the sky. She was still studying when she came on board last year! Remarkable young journalist! So far to go!!

With constant price hikes and next-gen gaming hardware likely to break the bank during a cost-of-living crisis, @edmondtran.bsky.social proposes developers keep lowering the bar. Meaning? It's time to really embrace low-spec benchmarks so we can keep playing new games on devices we already own.

The Future of Games Is Expensive, Time To Embrace Low-Spec and Mobile

Opinion: It's about time the games industry prioritises lower-spec benchmarks again, and reclaims mobile as a standard platform for games

Spent a very small amount of time with Stranger Than Heaven. I can’t speak to its story or characters, but I did enjoy its new combat system. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/stra...

"I feel the need. The need for... Theve?" @superdonk.bsky.social hates flying in real life, but videogames are different. He gets his wings and takes the first new Ace Combat game in seven years up for a spin, chatting to series director Kazutoki Kono along the way.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve – The First Flight

Kono says the emphasis was on character and narrative this time around, and when the team hit limits with Unreal, they were "really good at jury-rigging"

The 2006 Barnyard game was an ambitious open-world title featuring cows squirting milk, riding bikes, and playing golf. Those who remember it do so fondly. To mark its 20th anniversary @maddie-b-a.bsky.social spoke to its director Nick Hagger about what made the game and its development so unique.

I caught up with Beethoven & Dinosaur a few times over the last year of Mixtape's development. Here are some fun stories about making the game. A rejected pitch, meeting Kojima, their approach to teenage narrative, America as pastiche fantasy, emotion through play, music budgets, and more! Wow!!

How To Make a Mixtape

Beethoven & Dinosaur get deep on making the most of an indie team and music budget, portraying teenage experiences, and America as fantasy.
