@ArkanyaGame You've got this!! 😊

[Arkanya Games @ArkanyaGame]

Big week for interior design! I'm also starting to think I way overestimated the number of NPC dialogues left. I still have it at 55 but it's likely around 30. The NPC density drops off a lot in the later areas of the game.

Some of these numbers are going to be hitting 0 soon!

There are no gods here, only monsters ⚔️

We're thrilled to reveal the first look at #TheWitcherIV — our upcoming single-player open-world RPG. It marks the beginning of a new saga with Ciri as a protagonist, embarking on her own journey to become a professional monster slayer.

Excellent work @ch0bra, its been great to see the progress of this shot come on! 😊

[Mathieu Joffroy @ch0bra]

Donny vs Junker finally rendered in UE5.

Actually really quite enjoy the rendering process in unreal. Such a robust tool to make shots that bit more shiny.

Well, there you have it !!

[alargewoodenbadger @alrgwoodnbadger]

Here are some of the face controls. I've always enjoyed Twilight's Avatar state, so I added a glow to her eyes.

[Mathieu Joffroy @ch0bra]

Finally calling this shot "done". Could it be more polished? Yeah. Do I have any left in me? Don't think so.

Going to get it rendered in UE5 soon, so might give it another quick pass then. Just need to try and remember how.😆

Being creative in your own home is what Planet Coaster 2 is all about! We worked with stop motion artist All That Is She to bring our trailer to life in her own living room, celebrating creativity and collaboration along with our friend, St. Lundi, who provides the track 'Following My Heart'.

Planet Coaster 2 is out now on PC & Console!

Thanks @FutureGamesShow for the interview! Had a blast chatting with Game Director Rich Newbold about @PlanetCoaster 2 and all sorts of other things!! Now available😁🤽‍♀️🌊#PlanetCoaster2

[FutureGamesShow @FutureGamesShow]

What was your first (non-videogame) job?
What's the best gaming soundtrack of all time?
Cats… or dogs?

To celebrate the release of @PlanetCoaster 2 today, we asked developers @JoshLShepherd and Richard Newbold to play random question bingo!

[Joshua Shepherd @JoshLShepherd]

This is so cool!! 😍 #PlanetCoaster2

[Captain Falcore @Captain_Falcore]

The ability to paste elements onto coaster rides and adjust their height or position as desired allows you to use coasters as set pieces for your park. #PlanetCoaster2

[PlasticSwans @SwansPlastic]

Messing around with the #planetcoaster2 custom animatronic pieces to make your own moving scenery. It can get fiddly but seeing great potential!

[Yesbox - Metropolis 1998 @YesboxStudios]

Will you earn it? Added some Mayor statues and water fountains to Metropolis 1998 :)

[David Braben @DavidBraben]

Brilliant!
