Hi! My name is not @the_Norberg, but I have some #leveldesign tips to share in a thread. Those practices help me to build better levels from the scratch no matter of a genre or a scale. Hope other #gamedev folks will find them useful🙂 1/10

CONTROL Resonant has gone gold! Get ready to unleash Dylan Faden's paranatural abilities in warped Manhattan on September 24th. The physical release date for the game has moved to October 15th. We need just a little more time to deliver the physical version to you, but rest assured - nothing stays contained forever. #CONTROLResonant

Ninja Theory is a one of the most creative studios out there. Can’t believe this is happening.

Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory. Compulsion Games and Double Fine are also in “active negotiations” about spinning off theverge.com/games/950204/xb…

Checking out what was all the fuss about Invincible was a terrible idea for my study schedule. The show is great though. Watched all 4 seasons, now waiting for the next ones.

You don’t need to play tons of video games to be a good game dev, and just playing a lot of them doesn’t make you a good one either.

We're heartbroken by the passing of our founder and dear friend Vince Zampella. Vince was a titan and legend of this industry, a visionary leader and a force who shaped teams and games like Call of Duty, Titanfall, Apex Legends, the Star Wars Jedi series and Battlefield for our community in ways that will be felt for generations. His impact reached far beyond any one game or studio. We will remember Vince for how he showed up every day, trusting his teams, encouraging bold ideas, and believing in Respawn & Battlefield. Most importantly, he championed what he believed was right for the people behind those studios and our players because it mattered. We will miss him greatly. Our hearts are with his family, friends, and all who love him.

ARC Raiders is fantastic! Smart blend of PvP and PvE, with strong meta progression. Excellent combat and sound design that makes you play with your ears, not your eyes. Haven’t been this hooked in ages. Great job @EmbarkStudios!

Wow! Time flies. I remember a week before the launch someone was asking me how I feel about the game. I said “I think it’s good.” Then I saw the reviews… couldn’t believe the numbers. I still can’t.
