Knowing how expensive those tickets are, seeing so many of them there, celebrating together for as long as they did brings a tear to the eye. A well deserved sweep!

The Game of the Year award goes to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! #TheGameAwards @expedition33 @sandfallgames @kepler_interact

This is like the opening to a Hitman mission.

[tuxedo sam @NotTuxedoSam]

meet James Hamilton

he’s Amazon’s literal very top engineer, the brain behind all the data centers

he lives in a custom yacht and does not give a fuck about any RTO

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

@Ouren Okay, but you're built different.

[Question @question_games]

You don't have to make a deal with the devil to try The Killing Stone early because... 🩸

The demo is available NOW as part of Steam Next Fest!

Check it out and leave us a review if you like it!

[Liam O'Brien @VoiceOfOBrien]

I’ve been having far too wicked a time working on this of late. If you want to hear the devil at your ear, give it a spin. Demo just dropped on Steam. 😈

@Ouren Yoko Taro needs to come hang out at Question.

@JaredDMcCluskey @KenneyNL @gamefromscratch (Also, sorry for the block, I've got an app that auto-blocks anyone who pays for twitter but as someone who literally consults with clients on engine usage in games, this is a conversation I've got some skin in the game in understanding.)

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

@JaredDMcCluskey @KenneyNL @gamefromscratch Being super honest: if it's on your site, it's legit to report on. Saying it's inaccurate is hurting your point when you haven't pointed out the specific thing that he reported on that was incorrect. I understand Twitter sucks for detailed conversation, but what exactly was it?

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

@JaredDMcCluskey @KenneyNL @gamefromscratch Jared I am begging you. When Kenney, one of the nicest people in gamedev comes to you with this, it's time to sit down and look in the mirror.

I didn't watch any videos when I was doing an eval of engines: the first thing that I honed in on was your web3/ai/crypto stuff.

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

@WritNelson Is this the R&D tax credit changes or something new?

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

@WritNelson Ace Combat 5 was a big push to try and increase the amount of narrative, but I also found it a bit of a slog... I REALLY Liked Ace Combat 6, I feel like they hit a real sweet spot there.

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

I'm mostly over on the other site these days... If you wanna reconnect before this entire place burns down around us!

I think this is my last #screenshotsaturday before GDC, here's a little preview of the Character Movement and Exploration we've been working on in Moonstone!

Science Fantasy Third-Person Action RPG where you and your party fight against a hostile technological occupation.

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

Gearing up to submit for a MegaGrant, starting some early talks with publishers. We're going to be looking for an Animator and a Combat Designer in the near future! If you or someone you know fits the bill, reach out!

@SquaredApe Compromise candidate: Scene

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

@terminallyOL Final Fantasy VII. A game famously without anything remotely political whatsoever.

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

@CodeRed_dev Nothing has been more humbling as an engineer than trying to get DX12 working from scratch. I feel like I'm back in college again.

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

@CobraCodeDev Kawaii Physics is excellent, highly recommend!

[Nick Crosgrove 🔜 GDC 2025 @OccultGameDev]

I've been behind the scenes putting together a new studio, working on a narrative heavy Science Fantasy Action-RPG codenamed Moonstone.

Looking forward to being able to share more in the future!

@GhislainGir Random Pure Node is being sampled twice, once by the Position being piped into the End. Followed by a second sampling for Velocity. So you'll get different results for each one.
