So exciting!!! Congrats Thomas on the launch, I cannot waiiiiiit !

"I'm going to write another headline about China, but at what cost?"

Not "very close" anymore! Escape From Mandrillia is out of early access and the staggering amount of work @germanban.bsky.social has poured into it really makes it a special project, one I am so happy to see reach Full Release! Go PC vs. VR games!!

I feel it's also Root's secret sauce (both the board game and it's digital adaptation). Got so many who would never touch an "actual" war game to dive in and enjoy themselves on the back of the style alone.

IDILI on Steam IDILI is a first-person Survival Horror video game. Discover Sardinian tradition and experience its terrifying legends as they come to life in your hands. Investigate, explore, escape. You will have t...

IDILI is a super promising horror game digging deep into Sardinian folklore to bring to life an immersive environment based on stunning, real locations. Fascinating game! There's an Early Access version, but I was told to be on the lookout for a big update!

Discovery of Magic A free to play, VR multiplayer game where you train yourself to master the art of casting spells and progress to discover new ones.

@midowstudios.bsky.social has another VR game tailor-made to appeal to me: a card-based, turn-based spell slinging game called Discovery of Magic. The designer is full of cool ideas for the game, and it's one of the best spellcasting systems I have seen in VR! midowstudios.com/discovery-of...

Echoes of Mora on Steam Embark on a mysterious journey, filled with intriguing interactions and meaningful encounters, as you explore a sunken village and travel through time to help Mora find her lost brother. Playable in V...

VR games were few and far between this year, but I fell in love with Echoes of Mora from @selkiesinteractive.bsky.social . VR (or flat screen) that's Everybody's Gone to the Rapture meets amazing style and a lovely swimming mechanic! Go see them in hall 10! Or store.steampowered.com/app/3129050/...

As devs, there are many reasons to love Gamescom : opportunities, friends, parties... But above all, I love meeting other passionate developers and listen to them talk about their work, it always reminds me why we do this, and I leave the halls with renewed enthusiasm.

So here, meet a few of them:

This would be really funny! But more seriously, it was great seeing you and the game there was really nice! Even though it still feels mind-boggling to have reached a point where highlighting "games that promote democracy" is even required. But you're doing the good work!

Playing at 3 or 4 unlocks so much deck potential ! You can try crazy builds, and the jump to often 2 clues per location to 3 also rewards investing into some heavy-hitting cards! Highly agreed either way: 2 player is a tighter puzzle, 3+ is just more epic and open!

Just a heads-up, we're planning a small quality of life update later this year! We're working on several projects at the same time, but we want to give Silhouette some love too!

Thank you!!

Persona 4/5 come to mind immediately for sheer kinetic joy of use. Chrono Cross impressed me for its beauty on psx. And FFXIV changing with each extension is epic!

Finished reading Heart: The City Beneath by @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social (after rewatching the amazing review by @itsquinns.bsky.social ) and rarely have I found a setting so evocative, and gave such an urge to run it as a GM! Kudos!

Joining the chorus, feel free to ask questions if you have some! Enjoy the new toy!

That she did, super evocative stuff! And thanks :)

Had a go of an impromptu session using The Stygian Library yesterday and it was great fun! Looking forward to checking out all of the other stuff we got from y'all yesterday!

Thank you to all the organizers, speakers, panel hosts, volunteers and attendees of @gamestransformed.bsky.social for an incredible event! Now let's take that energy and make some dope shit!

Such a good, tight game! It's really a shame the company was shut down and there is little hope to for the planned expansions to see the light of day...

It's been a hot minute since I have been as obsessed with a game as I currently am with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is basically all I think about since finishing it a few days ago...

I feel like the L5R 5th edition rules can fit all three if GM'd right. I especially liked the diplomatic/social encounters rules, and the way stats (rings) combine with skills lets you be very expressive in ways you approach solving situations.

Will be crossing over to London just for this, cannot wait! The lineup is just fantastic!!

The work @tovanbo.bsky.social is doing on Laser Dance is incredible, go give the game a wishlist and be sure to jump in this fall!

Today I'd like to show you some of the concept art I've been working on with @teampanoptes.bsky.social , to develop the visual universe of their upcoming VR game @skystranded.bsky.social 🎮. It's always a pleasure to cook up new worlds 🍳🌁
As always, made with Blender ✨

Waking up to the news of Polygon being sold and its staff laid off is the worst... For years it has been one of my favorite gaming and culture-relatef news source. Best of luck to everyone affected!

The recent manga is also pretty darn good!

As I turned 40 today, I attained a happy state of being approximately 40% cheese today.

Hi all. I'm running a consumer survey about the Meta Quest store, this will help me for an upcoming report I'm planning. If you're someone who plays VR games on Quest, I'd be grateful if you could take a few mins for this. Shares would be appreciated too, please.

Thanks for sharing, some really fascinating titles in there! Definitely putting The Subplot and The Happiness Hypothesis on next year's list at the very least!
