My current contract at Shiftyeye has come to an end, reaching out to #gamedev to hear if anyone is looking to contract a level designer or a game designer.

Here's some screens from a level i designed and built for Core Decay when working for 3DRealms:

I sometimes wish they'd make two games instead. I want more of both parts.

I can't comprehend why they bought them in the first place, if all they wanted was a studio for another live service game, why not buy a studio with experience with those types of games? Jim Ryan truly dropped the ball.

I was mostly not vibing with the music. But still too early to tell. If it doesn't hit the mark in the music department, there'll always be the upcoming Bloodstained sequel.

Uh, didn't know they had reemerged, exciting!

There are some good games after, but I think the tracks and overall vibe in this one is extra special. Like the best of all the nfs games that came before it.

The NFS series peaked with that game. Just perfect!

Though if we ended up with something similar to Pillars of Eternity, I'd take that any day.

It's a shame to learn, though not too surprising, that both Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed under performed. I've been enjoying both a lot, and i hope we get more down the line. Even if it looks less likely atm.

If quake and other classic games can get new content, why can't double dash?

Now i never saw Southland Tales, and I am becoming very curious, but i think The Box was a good reason to be sent to movie jail.

Sneaky. Nioh 3 tricks you into restarting the game when you finally escape the tutorial section and there's no way to undo if you fall into their trap.

Also, "ai animated series" we have a word for that, no need to invent a genre. It's slop, straight from the trough.

Wtf, didn't expect him to be the first to go.

I want dlc for Cronos, but I don't think this is it.

Embracer stuff happened. But the original creator is still working on it, and is focusing on a demo this year, but everything is a lot slower currently since it turned back into a solo dev project for the time being.

At formal parties / family gatherings, ome would usually serve hotdogs late at night, which is a cue that you should probably eat your hotdog and leave.

It's true that the republican Lord of the rings where Sauron is the hero and the Hobbits the ultimate villian, would be a weird watch / read.

I find it odd that the Re Village dlc is packed with basic tutorials. Isn't it fair to assume that most players played the main game? Especially when the game warns you not to play it before completing the campaign.

27.01.2026 20:04 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

That's even better, didn't expect that much because it featured new content. They tend to be a bit stingy.

I assume this is free with the subscription as was the case with the other non-dlc upgrades.

Despite it's reputation, Forbidden West is also good. More of the same, but slightly better in a lot of ways.

Oh no, Picard is stuck in an elevator with a bunch of kids, this episode could go either way!

Horror fans! There's a game called Without a Dawn, which I released last May, that I 100% believe deserves more attention. It's a small, unique, thought-provoking experience made with love and hard work: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Thanks for checking it out! πŸ’š

This is the moment I realize that Incubation was part of the Battle Isle series.
