I genuinely think Tower Dungeon might be Nihei at his absolute best. I love the more minimal yet 'fat' linework, especially after years of reading Biomega, Blame, Noise, and his other works. His character writing also feels a LOT more defined.

Not now, carnivorous death ball

Screenshot reads, "A Carnivorous ‘Death Ball’ Has Emerged from the Deep

This newly-discovered species is being called the “death-ball sponge” for its appendages, which end in orbs and are covered in micro-hooks meant to capture prey."

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since

pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.

The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

The Game Awards' Future Class program remains on ice

Future Class organizer Emily Weir has informed past honorees that The Game Awards has no active plans for the program.

If you're wondering how this will go Square Enix handed off their mobile Octopath game to NetEase who immediately started using ChatGPT to translate everything resulting in text like this. When players complained they started asking fans to fix their translations in exchange for in-game currency

An in-game message featuring awkward language ("due to unmet conditions, the story of the new continent Solistia Chapter cannot be started") and ending with "if there is more text or additional content you want translated, please feel free to provide it!"

Throné: "You did you stay alive for so now? I've changed my opinion of you."

Recently, on the Norwegian videogame site spillhistorie.no, two new discoveries were posted, games that were previously lost. I've written about one already; the other discovery was of a very early Tolkien game, and the first original adventure we have in Norwegian.
