If you want to see how UI text size and contrast scaling can be done across a game's UI, up to TRULY HUGE SIZES and high contrast, alongside a whole host of other great options and design, you will struggle to find better than Atomfall. This is well earned, congratulations Rebellion!

The ALIEN logo
Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.
A massive thank you to everyone involved, a huge achievement! 🙌
Still missing the wonderful team who did this, huge congrats, your hard work has helped so many players and recognition is so well deserved! 🖤

This weekend I opened up Unity and decided to make a prototype inspired by '10 second war', where you can record your actions and replay them via clones to try finish a level as quick as possible. Clone movements and actions are recorded, but enemies reactions are realtime. #gamedev
Tango Gameworks (Hi-Fi Rush, The Evil Within) has officially relaunched, with a new look, website, and hiring for an unannounced action game.
The studio was closed by Microsoft a few years after its acquisition, but revived by Krafton.

Atomfall is a really smart piece of design. A relatively small team who put together an open world RPG with loads of novel ideas. It was great to finally get answers to how they pulled it off.
I enjoyed the OG movies and the prequels of course, but as I kid what I really loved from Star Wars were games
In 2008 GameTrailers did a comprehensive 10-part retrospective of all SW videogames (that released by that point) and it was so enlightening! Def a comfort watch now

Cake. It says "Atomfall" on it. There is an icing phone box on it with a cricket bat leaning against it. Nom.
Coming back from the Atomfall party, and it was very nice. Very slightly drunk. Have cake.
Photograph of a cricket bat with the Atomfall logo on it lying on a written floor.The bat is covered in a variety of signatures.
Today was the #Atomfall wrap party and my mission was to get as many of my fellow devs to sign my cricket bat as possible.
Mission complete.
So great to see this out and hear from some of the team that made it happen and accessibility consultant @thewobblygamer.bsky.social !

Atomfall logo screen with a man with a bandana around his face. He is holding a rifle and standing on top of a rock with the words KEEP OUT spray painted on the side. In the corner is a sign post with a raven perched on it.
Screenshot of the controls menu which shows the following accessibility features: Controller Layout, Auto Reload, Auto-Centre View, Automatic Forward Movement, Automatic Traversal, Aim Toggle, Sprinting Forces Stand, and Aim Assist.
17. As BIG fans of tea, post-apocalyptic stories, and vibrant landscapes, we of course had to check out #Atomfall – and we were *delighted* for how accessible it is! ☢️
Auto-movement and auto-reload are super helpful. The text scaling, HUD customization, and subtitles rock. SO good.

You can try the Microsoft just released a Quake 2 demo that runs on genAI.
It forgets where you are you each time you look at the floor and soft-locks when it's to dark. A technological marvel.
You can try the "Copilot Gaming Experience" here: copilot.microsoft.com/wham
A graph. "Confidence in Quality of Game" on the Y axis, "TIME" on the x. The line starts out confident but by the end is fucking all over the place.
Reminded of this important document, as true today as it was TEN years ago.

The player count for post-nuclear survival game Atomfall has hit a big milestone, and developer Rebellion has shared some fun stats to celebrate.
Sooo coool!
I got to finish my review of #Atomfall for accessibility and the game surprised me what it had! There's a lot to be praised for what the team at @rebellion.com have done even for blind players while missing key features like a screen reader or nav assist.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5

Our review is in! Atomfall proves immersion and accessibility aren't exclusive, giving players a lot of freedom, but managing to keep them on track. It's a shame it misses some essential blind accessibility features but for the rest it receives top marks!

ATOMFALL IS BLOODY GREAT
Promotional image of the game Atomfall featuring a character holding a rifle standing in front of a lush green countryside. In the far distance, a nuclear power plant is expelling blue energy. Text reads: In spite of some enemy behaviours that are occasionally less stable than a reactor in meltdown, Atomfall is a compelling, post- apocalyptic survival story that satisfyingly bends to your choices and discoveries no matter which direction you take.
Atomfall is a gripping survival-action adventure that takes some of the best elements of Fallout and Elden Ring, and synthesises them into its own fresh mutation.
