The #Evo2025 Lineup

Ok ok ok. The thing is coming together. Let's see how this... plays out. Pun intended! 🤫

ATTENTION: I am starting a charity bundle to benefit victims of the Southern California wildfires. Game (and other) makers, please submit your projects so we can do some good. There is a call for submissions of projects through the 18th, please share widely! FAQ below: itch.io/jam/californ...

It'll be a modular console with parts you can... switch... in and out. Want a second touch screen? Click it into place. Don't care for joycons because you have a pro controller? Why not ditch em for DK Bongos instead? Yes, Donkey Konga 3 is also a launch title.

My main goal in 2025 is to leave Amazon and finally start writing a out video games like I used to. I want to serve Spanish-speaking gamers and also translate my content for the English speaking masses. Let's get it. 💪🏾

Currently deep diving in the "OMG Severance looks SO good, I need to know all about its production design and cinematography" hole. Currently on episode 4 and wow.

Is there a real difference between No Man's Sky on GOG vs. Steam? You need an online connection anyway, so the DRM-free part of it seems mute.

I had to snip out my favourite moment from #TheGameAwards. @laratlarian.bsky.social's words echo the heart of every developer. The industry needs to listen. We just want to make cool stuff for people. #indiedev #gamedev

You love to see it. x.com/HidekiKamiya...

Looking back on last night, I'm noticing more tempered reactions from YT outlets and journos across the board. Less cult of personality-driven takes and more reliance on "we've been here before, let's act like it".

The most surprising thing about that Intergalactic trailer was the amount of product placement they managed to fit in it. 4 year development sponsored by Porsche and Adidas is wild.

Of the big 3 console makers, PlayStation has always been the least willing to play ball with Nintendo and Microsoft. Mentioning either in their communications/marketing is something only execs at the top of the ladder have done publicly and even then only after pressure from the media and fans.

Man, I'd forgotten how good it feels to watch industry events at a reasonable time zone. Sometimes being in Europe feels like being stuck in the last century.

Actually digging the art on screen behind the winners this year.

Holding my breath until I see gameplay on a console a few years from now. It's cool you guys, I have 4,000 lungs.

I'm SO ready.

Skipped this game because the multiplayer only featured one stage at the time of release. Very interested now!

The newest Ninja Gaiden features pixelart by @nerkinpixel.bsky.social who previously worked on Blasphemous I and II. youtube.com/watch?v=d8DK...

Hm.

Hi, I'm Luis. I'm a Panamanian designer and writer currently building Games Player as an outlet for Spanglish-speaking gamers, q xopa.✌🏾

My acct is still small but I'll support however I can!

PROGRESS ORDERS debut trailer Publisher Bushiroad Games and developer HAKAMA have released the debut trailer for PROGRESS ORDERS, their newly announced guild management fantasy RPG.

Look. All this talk about HD-2D remakes is fine, but please leave Chrono Trigger out of it. If CT ever gets remade, I want them to do exactly what @snakepixel.art did with his Chrono Break mockup. It's fresh, animated beautifully and somehow still feels faithful to my memories 🙏🏾

Remember when Sony bought Bungie in 2022 and started acquiring new personnel only to then get hit by 2 rounds of Sony's cost-cutting layoffs? Here's my (non) hot take: how about no this time.
