I guess they gotta save GOTY for last so if E33 didn’t win anything else it’d make that obvious. But idk I feel like winning 7 other awards before that might also be a subtle hint lol

I still maintain that awards should have tiers that you are excluded from if you win higher awards.

Win GOTY? Well then of course you’re also the best role playing game and indie game and debut indie game and so on, but let’s maybe highlight some other people’s work too.

A Superman game centered on saving people sounds *amazing* to me tbh

(Would be super hard for it to not feel like one big escort quest though haha)

Know Skyrims a very different beast but this video touched on it well, I think. Also was a fun watch with a lot of interesting recs!

Did you know that when the laws of physics no longer apply, two places can occupy the same space?

I still think of that one cancelled Unity game mod… thing that synced people’s play sessions so that your friend appeared as a little floating bot in your game.

I don’t really care if AURORA BOREALIS NORTHERN LIGHTS happened to you. It should have happened to me instead.

Sorry to hear that! I’m planning to make a patch for the Unity security issues soon, I’ll take another look at the bazooka scene while I’m at it.

Thank you for trying the game out though, you’ve basically beaten it twice now :) Really means a lot!

Section from Kayin's piece that says, "Silksong will not let you get away with a one-sided conversation. This isn't sadism, but instead a desire for mechanical and narrative intimacy. This isn't a selfish request. A player metaphorically Monologuing to a game will never as rich of fulfilling as a two-way dialog. And the game actively rewards you for engaging with it. New areas, fun items, satisfying strategies, new lore and NPC interactions .... it's trying to be a good partner!"

This is so beautifully well put and kind of essential to understand the nuanced dance between player, game and designer. Thank you for putting your thoughts into writing on this game :D
