Making a Christmas film, with my friend @Directingpete! It will be kind of a spiritual successor to Elf. I'm executive producing this one, so I can learn as much as possible about the whole process. Life goal: make video games (check), board games (check) and film (soon, CHECK)!

Finally. IT'S. COMING. Feels like the early days when we released our first teaser trailer for SN1. Still gives me happy-shivers.

🚨 Warning: Oxygen Low 🚨 The first teaser trailer for Subnautica 2 just dropped! Check it out now and wishlist the game on Steam, Epic, or Xbox ➡️ unknownworlds.com/en/news/subnau… #Subnautica #Subnautica2



Savoring the nerdly and luscious feelings of gently opening up a masterpiece and carefully touching the pieces and reading the rules. Reading great rules like this seems to call for scotch, an easy chair and a cigar but I’ll be hmming, smiling and cackling all the same. #arcs

Never posted about music here but I have to say that @tesseractband 's War of Being album is my album of the year. Getting some dark @Subnautica and Returnal vibes. Gives me shivers. Every. Time. youtube.com/watch?v=pHZXTm… P.S. They have a VR game on Kickstarter too.


The phobia list here made me LOL (but also make me feel *very* bad for @ButchX3 - youtu.be/kmU0OeOoI6k?si…)

Just posted a blog entry about the original Legend of Zelda (1986). It's about the design details that just blew me away - most of them tiny little things. charliecleveland.com/my-favorite-de… #gamedesign

Do you have a game design topic or question you'd like me to address? I really want to write but I'm having difficulty finding something that I think would help.


This is a really cool looking game, from the excellent and lovely Steve Pardo, whom composed all the music in @Moonbreaker A live jazz soundtrack? Can't wait to check this out.

📣📣 DOS is out! 📣📣 ❤️💙 so thankful for so many who have helped in getting us @pardobros to our first proper release 💙❤️ dosgamealbum.com App Store, Steam, Vinyl, CD, Spotify, Apple Music, etc. #gdc #gdc2024 #indiegame #jazz #gamemusic #gameaudio

Anyone know of any really interesting survival mechanics from other games? Something that changes fundamentally how you play, and isn't just a meter that funnels to health and death?


Looking through the earliest @Subnautica document and found this paragraph. It's a naming brainstorm, with my favs. I think "Terraria" is there because I liked how they created a evocative new word for the game world. "Descend" was the first working title.

More than 20 years after its debut, revered sci-fi adventure The Ur-Quan Masters is finally coming to Steam next week. trib.al/8Qp7WCz


I cannot believe how much I love the original Zelda. Playing through it again and am fully in flow state with it. I want to understand every detail. The fact that it never tells you to do *anything* feels like a notable influence for @Subnautica (but can’t quite remember).

Headed to D.I.C.E. now. Will be hanging out a lot in the Aria lobby bar working on stuff and talking to my favorite people. Come say hi!


100% great advice.

Very hard to follow this advice as a creative but my god is it the best advice! #rickruben always nails it. 🤌❤️‍🔥
