Play History is an expertly researched history in video games. The amount of care and detail behind each landmark moment is fascinating. So cool to see it come back for another season!

Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, I’m still so proud of what we made.

Steam :: The Amusement :: The Amusement Redirected-Walking - Dev blog #3 If you read The Amusement Steam Page, which you surely did, right?  Then you heard us mention redirected-walking. But what exactly is redirected-walking? Redirected-walking is a locomotion technique used in VR to translate the player's real steps into the virtual world. Usually in VR games, you don’t need to move a lot, apart from your arms, or you move by pointing the joy stick in the direction you’re headed. This technique allows players to roam and immerse themselves in a large world.

In The Amusement, the steps you take irl are translated in the game 👣
But how does that work exactly? 

Learn more about how to cross great virtual distances with only a 2x2m play space! 👀

A door without a knob is still a door that wants to be opened, right? There has to be something important behind it!

Any idea how you could open it? 🤔

Carl’s workshop is one of the many places you’ll need to investigate while checking the old rides 🎡

It’s where ideas for new attractions were once created, and, more importantly, where your old yo-yo was built 🪀

Interacting with the scenery is a core part of The Amusement.

As she inspects this abandoned amusement park, Samantha will have to manipulate all kinds of objects and mechanisms: a postcard, a yo-yo, pipes, rails…

In short, the park reveals itself to the curious ones!

To cheese, or not to cheese? 🧀
