So happy! Better late than never!
I’m still amazed by the visuals in @APlagueTale Requiem. It looks as good as any AAA out there and it was done by about 50+ people.
Stunned it didn’t get more recognition for its graphical achievement. @AsoboStudio for the win!
In most game production you don’t know until the very end if the game will be great or not. You may suspect it but really it’s like gambling.
This piece about AI and music by the great James Hannigan is by far the most compelling take I've read. Digging deep into the core of where music comes from to how music is being "used". Really worth reading for those who still like reading.

Can’t Wait for you to hear Ahmed’s performance over some music 😉
He killed it!
The sound of @DyingLightGame #Beast

You heard it in the trailer; you’ll feel it in your guts in the game!
