As if making the System Shock remake wasn't tough enough, someone apparently called the FBI on Nightdive during development

It is not news to anyone that Nightdive Studios' System Shock remake took a while to make. The remake started development in 2015, with a successful Kickstarter project held for it the following year. After a few engine changes and attempts at making the thing, it finally released back in 2023, a good eight years after development had started. But such a long wait is absolutely not worth calling the FBI over, folks, are we being serious right now? Which is, apparently, a thing that happened to

Playing Hytale on the Steam Deck takes some classic PC spannering, but the effort is rewarded

Right up until its early access release, Hytale’s chances of Steam Deck-enabled portability were anyone’s guess. Even the blocky sandbox’s developers Hypixel seemed unsure, announcing a SteamOS-friendly native Linux version (good!) but forgoing an actual Steam release (less good!) and warning Deck owners of Hytale’s absent controller support (definitely not good!). However, as fellow cube enthusiast Minecraft would know, the Steam Deck doesn’t always let something

I have no idea what you do in Hypnos, but its cosmic horror, megastructure world looks so pretty I'm not bothered

A position I take that is quite hard to explain in any way that is actually helpful is that for a game to catch someone's attention it must have aesthetic sensibilities that no other game has. To truly get someone's attention anyway, enough marketing budget can undo that, but for an indie game, a vibe (mysterious, unquantifiable) that I haven't felt before will pull me in quicker than listing off genre conventions it follows. This is how Hypnos, a first-person adventure and exploration game "s

The Elder Scrolls 6 in the Summerset Isles would be cool, or so recently unearthed Daggerfall-era dev D&D notes have convinced me

As someone who admittedly struggles to feel at home whenever I try to go back and play the older Elder Scrolls entries, I'm surprised how fun I've found reading through some notes from a D&D game some devs on the series played around the time of Daggerfall's development. Said notes have just been made public following the recent death of Julian LeFay, a key figure in the early days of Bethesda, who hosted this freshly unearthed campaign and another more well-known one.
