Finally playing Look Outside. The writing in this game is killer! Gets across what that experience would be like super well. Good sense of humor too! And the body horror is wild
Love how you keep returning to your apartment. Like they took Silent Hill 4's final level and made it play like Lisa

Blue Prince will be the ultimate test of GOTY season's anti-puzzle bias. If it can't break through despite this being this well received, we are all going to have A TALK.
I always find it tough to review puzzle games, because words only explain the thrill of a good one so well. So I did something different for Blue Prince, the year's best game (by a long shot). I wrote about exactly how I was feeling when I solved a big puzzle. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/blue-...
Blue Prince review: 2025’s best game will alter your brain
Blue Prince is the kind of boundlessly brilliant puzzle game that you need to play to fully understand.

ABYSS X ZERO work-in-progress:
In between dungeons, you'll explore large open fields, with roaming giant creatures, like this one!
I'm now working on the procedural animation system that allows it to walk on any type of terrain elevation, react to the player, etc

We were blown away by the response to SuperStation one last week.
From everyone at R², + the new staff that will join us prior to shipment to sign Founders Editions (we will be extremely busy), thank you.
We still have $179 preorders, but some colors are almost out of stock.

Why do video games cost so much to make these days? A recent NYT article pinned bloated budgets on the graphical arms race, but that's only a small part of the equation. The real problem? Rampant mismanagement.

Transferred all the information from Tumblr to a Google Doc, so anyone who doesn't have a Tumblr account can now read through the whole thing!
I also updated quite a bit of information too.
I hope it will help somebody!

Oh right, it's Steam winter sale time. Sensorium (small, open-world first-person puzzle game I made a little while ago) is 75% off! store.steampowered.com/app/1307870/...
It has a higher average rating than The Witness on backloggd so that means it's definitely better and you should buy it
