Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt is the only battle royale I ever loved, so naturally it's going offline for good in April Two years after ending active development of the game, Sharkmob has announced the end.

First commercial game I ever worked on is shutting down next April.

Loved "Synaptic" by @bonnybanditsgames.bsky.social & "Excana" by @haresoft-315-25.bsky.social too! Don't have pics tho ;(

Wish I honestly had more time to go through all the projects! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

An illustration depicting the Warrior of Light, the hero of Final Fantasy XIV, against a backdrop of prominent locations from each of the games expansions. The Warriors features are vague - they are clad in a dark cloak, riding a chocobo across a grassy hill. Beyond the hill rise the spires of the city of Ishgard, the walls of Ala Mhigo, the city of Kugane, the plains of the Azim Steppe, the lofty Crystal Tower, and the spiralling architecture of Amaurot. The moon looms large in the sky, and the scene is bordered with a golden frame detailed with friends and foes (mostly foes) from the Warriors journey.

An illustration of a scene in the woods at night, of masked, goat-legged figures dancing in a circle around a man emerging from a bonfire in the centre. A gold frame surrounds the scene, and outside of that are vignettes of masked, bearded faces smiling, a dagger cutting hair, an upended chalice pouring white gel on to a bare shoulder, and tree branches covering a persons chest in the shape of common top surgery scars.

An illustration of Estinien from Final Fantasy XIV. He's an Elezen (elf-like person) clad in black spiked dragoon armour, with his long white hair whipping around his face as he grips his spear, plunging it into the open maw of a dragon.

An illustration of the main cast of companions from Baldur's Gate 3 - Lae'zel, Karlach, Wyll, Shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, and the dog Scratch - in battle-ready poses with their weapons drawn. A mass of writhing purple tentacles looms ominously above them.

100%!

Kinda wish more games followed in ME2's structure! Every mission matters and there's not much bloat anywhere in the game apart from the firewalker missions and some planets you can land on for sides, most things are there for a reason.

Got about 50 spots left in Pack 4 before I move onto Pack 5!

If you're a studio, solo dev, or game account and I'm already following you, chances are you're in one of the packs so make sure to give them a look and "ctrl+f" to check if you're in there :)
