I absolutely love the practical, physical space parts of game development. Foley recording sessions are fascinating, as is watching motion capture actors. It’s cooler yet when actors aren’t playing humans, which is why this video of Monster Hunter: World‘s motion capture is wonderful and hilarious. An actor is suited up star in a fight scene

Suffice to say these types of games aren’t

Channeling the spirits of Toy

Last week’s news of Cyberpunk 2077‘s delay was accompanied by a controversial statement from CD Projekt RED’s CEO Adam Kiciński, who told investors in no uncertain terms that the delay would “unfortunately” result in crunch.

As developer and designer,I started working on Hovership Havoc almost four years ago. It was originally just a mini-game in a much larger project I was working on at the time. I decided to scale things down and focus on one of my mini-games which was a top-down space shooter. I was playing a lot
