For those new to this, I am making foundational tech for my new big game in The Falconeer franchise " Ancient Waves".

But I might release this as its own 'cozy' nautical ship editor also. When I make up my mind, I'll let you all know.

I got to reference a note I wrote about Astroneer back in 2015 today. I love going through old note books. That was cool.

ARC RAIDERS: Given that Embark is using AI to change the way people sound (It's not voice modulation. It's a completely new output of a specific sounding voice.) I'd like to see them put that towards _what_ people say.

Let me control what I can hear people say and not just how they can say it.

Well, frig. What a loss. Vince was responsible for a few of my favourite games.

Think I might load up Titanfall 2 tonight.

If you’ve not gotten this yet, All Yesterdays is a great book to own and gift folks.

It’s written and illustrated by palaeontologists and paleo illustrators and presents speculation on the lifestyle, appearance and behaviour of prehistoric animals based on modern understanding of animals.

Early 2020 in a diner somewhere having breakfast with Brendan went something like: "I really want to make a game about being the Astroneer crew of a space station where you embark on missions with your friends."

I played in their playtest last night and left thinking this might be my most anticipated game right now. What a surprise treat!
The little 2D VFX overlayed on 3D space in The Lift game are one of the best things in the game. It's also really nice that it's a game all about repairing things in a weird bureaucratic otherworldly office space.

I had to hang out on the side of the bridge that isn't for pedestrians to take this photo, which feels risky, but last nights effort was worth it in the end.

An aspect of STARSEEKER that we're all passionate about at System Era is making sure the game is sustainable for our players and the team working on it.
