If you could merge two separate #game genres into one #multiplayer experience, what would you create? 🤔 Here’s a couple of thought-starters: 🧙♂️ A fantasy #MMO where players can seamlessly transition from the game world into a session-based card game tournament 👩🚀 A space exploration game that integrates round-based confrontations for planetary dominance 🏙️ An open-world third-person experience that's also a city-builder game What idea would you like to bring to life?

https://lnkd.in/eDbZwFQj No Man’s Sky updates are going strong with Starfield around the corner With a big budget space exploration game debuting in days, indie spacefaring mainstay No Man’s Sky continues to deepen its own world with no signs of slowing down. No Man’s Sky is one of gaming’s biggest unlikely success stories: After launching as a widespread letdown, the team at Hello Games dedicated themselves to steadily enriching the game’s interstellar setting with free updates over the course of the last seven years. The game’s latest infusion of fresh content content is called Echoes and introduces a new robotic alien civilization for anthropologically-inclined players to study, among many other updates. The new alien race apparently adds a chain of missions packed with hours of narrative questing as the player explores where these scrap metal-lookin’ guys came from and what they’re all about. That includes new cloaked encampments on inhabited worlds, secret monolith-powered visions and a fresh lexicon to uncover.

The Cosmic Shore Devs have one last update for the year. Yesterday, we hit an exciting milestone with our newest Class - the Serpent. This "snake in 3D" throwback is all about the art of self-assembly, laying down planar crystal seeds that pull in blocks to form walls. It's like watching nature's own Tetris game. The Serpent 🐍 Class lets you play from a bird's-eye view. Boost around, feed walls, watch your strategic genius unfold in real-time. It's bioinspired gaming at its most mesmerizing – think viral capsid proteins meeting crystal growth. Handling the thermodynamics? Tough, but hey, Gibbs Energy isn't "free" in a game. We're just scratching the surface with what's coming next year to the Cosmic Shore. This is emergent gameplay with a side of science. The Serpent and tadpoles are just the beginnings of our dive into nature's playbook for novel gameplay discovery. Please reach-out to geek-out. #GameDev #BioInspiredGames #CosmicShore #CallingAllMimeticsNerds #OrganicScienceFantasy Edit: does anyone know how to get LinkedIn to not compress video frames?

It’s here. September. Pencil sharpened. New term. New start.  And two massive, brilliant RPGs to distract gamers from it all. And dammit, they are good. Starfield by Bethesda is a vast first-person RPG on space exploration. Pioneering the term nasa punk for their space cyberpunk aesthetic - expect this to see this elsewhere. Baldur’s Gate 3 by Larian Studios is a strategic, turn-based RPG based on Dungeons and Dragons lore. Witty, irreverent and a flexible system allowing incredible creativity to solve puzzles. Both games are enormous. So huge you’d need multiple playthroughs to experience everything.  They’re narrative-led, with exceptional writing. No AI here.  But they have one crucial difference.  One of them did something interesting.  And that one thing has catapulted it to becoming the highest rated game of the year.  And possibly one of the best RPGs of all time. While Bethesda played things close to their chest, Larian gave players early access. Letting players test their systems as they refined them.  Getting constant feedback to tweak the mechanics and flow.  Creating an experience that feels brilliant to play, and pays homage to the D&D community.  Customer orientation. Get to know your community, let them give you feedback, and listen to it. Then create the experience they want. Or as I call it, just bloody talk to people. Saves a lot of time and nonsense. Gets you to the juicy stuff fast. #brandstrategy #marketing #gaming
