Tokyo, Shibuya. 1.57 am. In all 4 images, 640x480 polygons work their magic to create a neon skyline with a Sega logo blazing blue and gorgeous neon ads and signboards at various street angles.

Shibuya by Sega Starlight in the Year 2000. 💜

Scenic snaps from Metropolis Street Racer, which tragically wasn't released in Japan due to its poor sales and late release. Sega denied Bizarre Creation's request to port it to PS2, and a year later, Project Gotham Racing hit the road on newcomer Xbox.

did you know our game syncs literally everything to the music. even doing this

A crt tv photo of a blocky polygonal young woman with blonde hair with a spiky fringe with her square fists raised. She's standing on the deck of an ocean liner with a Christmas tree in the background. Crisis Beat is a Christmas game!

"I'm a detective! Not a member of those!" proclaims a leather-jacketed guy who looks like a discount store Ryu from Shenmue.

A gameplay snap with our heroine branding her fists as 'Troop' moves in and a brawny tank top wearing guy advances to the side of her.

The cover artwork for Crisis Beat showing a looming face radiating schemes and fire and the discount Ryu pointing ahead of him to the side and the other pickable characters above him to the side.

Die Hard on a Boat, and a 3D brawler replete with wonky charm and poor localization. Another of those Japan-to-Europe PS1 games that missed out on an NTSC-U release.

If you imagine a jamkier Dynamite Cop/Die Hard Arcade, that's pretty much this.

this is great on so many levels. I love it when brilliant art also succeeds financially, I love this affirmation for Coogler and everyone involved, but I am a petty enough bitch to also love it because this is EXACTLY what the suits tried to keep from happening and you know they are SUFFERING rn 😂

Note to devs: Yarn Spinner is great for getting dialog up and running fast, controlling portraits and poses, but we also extended it to script our sprite-based cutscenes. After a programmer set up flags a non-technical person made this whole cutscene in yarn. It's only $50 and you own it forever.

So we're turning Noclip's sister channel into a games coverage outlet with a mission to highlight the work of lesser known developers alongside the biggest games in the world.

We're just starting the process, but if you're interested in learning more, I filmed a thing:

‘South of Midnight’ Writer Zaire Lanier On Creating A Relatable Human Story Through Black Girl Magic Compulsion Games writer Zaire Lanier talks to Deadline about writing narrative for Southern Gothic action adventure game South of Midnight

deadline.com/2025/05/sout...

Got to talk to Destiny Jackson about South of Midnight a bit, my first video game, and some of my inspirations as we wrote the game. :)

Some very short origin stories for some excellent video game names Game developers explain “Alan Wake,” “Obra Dinn,” “Despelote,” Caves of Qud’s “Eaters,” and more.

- "Alan" from "Alan Wake" was picked from a frayed book of boy names inherited by Sam Lake

- The "Eaters" in "Caves of Qud" were named in a poem by a character cut from the game

- "Despelote" was named by one of the dev's moms

My latest Game File is about names:

Break the habit of using AI - even for a first draft - because it shouldn’t be doing your thinking for you even if it saves time - thinking is supposed to take time and that’s entirely the point

If you’re producing something that you didn’t even think of, then why bother?

Guild Engineer

This is the correct take.
The industry is sometimes bad at identifying raw talent, but it's much worse at the below. People need support and time to grow; the assumption that you can drop someone on a project and they'll just sink or swim leads them (and the project) to sink most of the time.

I love hearing I wasn’t the only one!! 😂 I definitely saw all of these images but kid me was using the bottom two for vampire RPs, writing out whole stories for my ocs, and just making them my own in my head!

My long-held stance about gamedev is that "juniors will run circles around the entire industry if merely given the chance." Either help lift them up or get out of the way!!!

I used the bottom two as roleplay characters. Images like these planted the seeds in my brain to make more of my own characters and tell more stories!
