Is there an IP more suited to making an RPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl?
- Playing as just regular crawler, maybe throw in a hardcore perma-death mode?

One of the games I am the most excited about this year is #bloodofthedawnwalker to the point where I just *cannot* stop talking about it. So I made yet another video.

Ive got a growing concern that crimson desert started as an mmo and they pivoted to a multi-player game (when they talked about mercenaries a few years back) and now its going to be a flashy single player mmo lacking narrative depth. I hope to be wrong.
There are some incredible games out there to play.
Back in 2024 I made this video of some super exciting indie RPGs and I'm so happy to see the 2nd of these games fully launch just yesterday. Congratulations @esotericebb.bsky.social ! If you haven't, please please go check out this really interesting game.
Next up... @forsakenrealms.bsky.social ?
From #fable to @forsakenrealms.bsky.social and many RPGs in between. These are my most anticipated for 2026. I even snuck in an Early Access title because @tactical-adventures.com Solasta 2 just looks that good.

Tell me why I cried again while making this damn short?
Of course don't watch if you haven't at least played through the end of the prologue of #expedition33 youtube.com/shorts/7qOZf...
Saddened to hear about layoffs impacting
@playstarsreach.bsky.social wishing the best for those impacted. I hope they can find a new home quickly to pursue their passions and utilize their talents. For those remaining and @raphkoster.bsky.social I am pulling for this team making this unique MMORPG
What are some of your #RPG hot takes?
You will enjoy just about everything a whole lot more without someone in your ear telling you why you shouldn't enjoy it.
Are they gonna Percy jackson 1.0 bg3? (No hate to the actors they did their best)
Definitely concerned about the bg3 series. The lack of deep larian involvement from the get go id a big red flag flapping in the wind. Would have wanted to see a Rick Riordan level of involvement.
That said, if they get the original cast and give them first crack at auditioning for those roles...
Its here. Cant wait to dig in.
Basket says hi. Take a break.
I realize that this video on #Ashesofcreation is probably not what people expect to see. Probably more post-mortem or gloating and less call for empathy. But here ya go: youtu.be/Ww4r-0UEwF8
So many i told you so's about Ashes...my god can you wait until the severance checks go out before you get your credit? possibly up to 250 people just found out they dont know where they're gonna get their next paycheck. Some empathy, just for a day or two.
God damn. I admittedly was never really a fan of the vision of Ashes of Creation but its still heartbreaking to see so many devs who put so much of their heart into it so unceremoniously see those years of dedication and love just ripped away.
My heart goes out to all of them.
Still one of the gnarliest enemy designs Larian has ever cooked up. Hope to see more stuff like this in #Divinity #DOS2
Absolutely. If you cant afford real actors dont use cheap immitatations. Its a giant blinking light telling me how willing you are as a developer to cut corners, beyond the ethical concerns.
And from a quality stand point its just not good. Its hollow, inauthentic and out of place. Just use text.
Did I make a 12 minute video to manifest more Companion to Companion agency from a few writers comments from the @divinity.com AMA? Yes. Yes I did. My kingdom for more Companion autonomy. Even if it involves some backstabbing. youtu.be/hUyZ7UKIElo?...
(3/3) Common arguments were "They should get good." "I saw some challenge run do it" "just watch it on youtube"
Beyond how fucked and childish all that is: some people want to live the story. And those people may not care about the same sense of achievement you do.
I will never understand why. Why would it matter if someone else plays a game on an easier mode that you will never play? Does this harm you?
If a story rich game can skip cut scenes. Why would I care if you can make fights easy?
At the end of the day I just want people to have fun.
This is my most viewed video on my RPG channel, just shy of 200k views: youtu.be/-LqUMog7WWcZ
In it I have the audacity to say its valid to say single player games should have insanely easy modes just like they have insanely hard ones. This pissed a lot of people off. (1/3)
This is a bit of surprise from @emberville.bsky.social but man...just listen to that VA work. Sounds incredible. Can't wait.
