Congrats to my friend @Tomislav_Uzelac and the rest of the 2x2 team on today's release of @UnityOfCommand 2! The first game was great and I've been waiting for this follow-up for a long time. A wonderful streamlined WW2 strategy game.

At the Gates v1.3 is now live! Been working on the AI and it’s now much more active both economically and militarily. Check out the link to learn more about this update. More to come as I’ll be continuing work on improving diplomacy and the AI with v1.4+. steamcommunity.com/games/241000/a…

The At the Gates v1.4 Diplomacy Design Plan is now available to read! The overall goal is to make diplomacy more proactive and strategically meaningful. With v1.4 the idea is to get the basics (mainly war and peace) right and then add depth in v1.5+. jonshaferondesign.com/2020/04/10/v1-…

RIP Miura

Congrats to my friends over at Paradox on the announcement of Victoria 3! Been looking forward to this one for a while.

Some of these videos I'm seeing of Unreal Engine 5... wow. I'm sure there are limitations somewhere (it's software, after all) but the visual ceiling is breathtaking.

Here's another crazy one. I mean, come on.

Congrats to my friend Robbo on the release of Hokko Life! Great game made by a great person, go check it out. :) store.steampowered.com/app/824000/Hok…

I think the question "How do I get into games?" can be improved. You can "get into games" by making a game and attempting to sell it. That's not what most people are asking. What people normally want to know is: "How do I get hired by an established games studio?" A thread...

One of my favorite scientific figures is this one of the entropy levels of 100 world cities by the orientation of streets. The cities with most ordered streets: Chicago, Miami, & Minneapolis. Most disordered: Charlotte, Sao Paulo, Rome & Singapore. Paper: appliednetsci.springeropen.com/articles/10.10…

Very cool mechanic! Curious to see how it plays.

Been replaying Mario Galaxy on the Switch and I’m still impressed by the creative environment design. The camera is more of a struggle than I remember and it's often impossible to get a feel for a level's layout from a distance but I love the ambition.

This seems right. Really makes you think about how much has changed in games over the past 10 years.

A pretty conservative upgrade for the Switch makes sense, boring as it is. Hardware fragmentation is a big reason why Cyberpunk 2077 had so many problems at release. A bigger jump in performance = more problems devs have to solve.
