Incredible to see the old haunt is now back on its own two legs. Hopefully this will allow them to make the projects they really wanted to all along.

We want to address recent reports regarding the status of Romero Games. These reports have contained inaccuracies, and we feel it's important to set the record straight.
β€’ The funding for our project was pulled, and our game was canceled.
β€’ Due to confidentiality agreements, we cannot disclose the publisher's identity, though some may infer it from public information.
β€’ As a result, we now have to reassess the entire staffing of our studio.
β€’ Romero Games is not closed, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that it does not come to that. Any suggestion otherwise is factually incorrect. Indeed, we were in the studio today to discuss next steps with the team.
β€’ We've been contacted by several publishers interested in helping us bring the game across the finish line, and we're currently evaluating those opportunities.
We appreciate the outpouring of support and will share further updates as we are able.

I use rambox. And while it's not perfect it's a good enough plaster for now. Have multiple discord tabs boxes all on different tabs.

5 years ago Phil Spencer and the rest of Xbox leadership had such a good reputation. They came across as genuine, focussing on the things that other publishers wernt. Now their monopoly means every terrible decision they make negatively effects the industry. Lives ruined because numbers must go up!

Please realise that most of these layoffs and closures arnt because of a lack of funds, profits are at record highs. It is instead a conscious decision made by dirs to pull back from bad decisions THEY made in a hope they will look better to shareholders. Short term thinking #gamedevlayoffs

Dissent is treated as terrorism, while terrorism is just state policy.

Reggie Watts statement, 1 of 2:

β€œI was disappointed to see that Thom's statement centers his hurt feelings and frames his fans' demands for him to speak up as a "social media witch hunt," instead of recognizing the urgency of their call for him to speak out against the world-historical humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I hope Thom will reflect and decenter himself from the public outcry against the genocide, because if he and his artistic legacy stand for love and humanity as he asserts, he can come to see his fans' actions as an act of loving solidarity with suffering people-a needed affirmation of our humanity in these dark times.”

Reggie Watts statement 2 of 2:

β€œI also want to address Thom's repetition of a common rhetorical tactic of those who are devoted to maintaining the status quo, that one cannot speak up or demand an end to the genocide unless they fully understand the deep
"complexity" of this historical conflict. I urge Thom's fans to reject this conviction-neutralizing, demobilizing sentiment and trust their hearts. You don't need to be a geopolitics scholar to know that starving children and slaughtering families is wrong. Your membership in the human family gives you authority and, indeed, responsibility to speak up. All positive change starts with conscious and loving people raising their voices and working together to bring a better world into existence. Please keep fighting until our sisters and brothers in Palestine are free.”

Finished Rime for the 2nd time and I honestly think this is one of the best examples of "less is more". It's a subtly complex game that respects the players time and energy. Such a shame to see Tequila Works added to the gamedev graveyard. I hope this team finds their footing elsewhere. #gamedev

I remember when they announced Horizon Forbidden West and showed off Aloys higher fidelity face. The gamer bros went mad over face fuzz on her claiming "women don't have hair in their faces"......still makes me laugh!

Another classic mismanagement of a legacy studio by the corpo asshats. The studio that made incredible games like F.E.A.R and Shadow of Mordor just shutdown after 9 years on a WW project. INSANE decision

Looks cool and super excited to see more. I assume there is more trickery than RVT blending? All of the above examples are meshes blending with landscape or ground materials so it's hard to tell.

This would hold far more weight if a whole gaggle of tech oligarchs, Amazon CEO Bezos included, weren't trying their hardest to win "Best brown noser to the MAGA right".

Yeah its an in-house engine. The Glacier engine, it's a really powerful and efficient engine thats purpose built for games like Hitman. Excited to see what they do with the 007 game.

Because then people like Paul Schrader would be out of a job. If any Joe dick and Harry can write a "good" script with zero skill......skill ceases to have value. The decades of craft cultivated is meaningless IF you decide to settle for AI output.

No a mixture of tris and quads. Then always triangulate before sending to engine.
