A 14-year-old Myst fan constructed Myst Island in Minecraft and the results are delightful. 👾

In the 90s, Disney almost turned this island near Florida's Magic Kingdom into a MYST theme park, where you'd solve puzzles to understand what happened to the island's inhabitants. Looks the part this morning! @cyanworlds

Obligatory weirdo tech-art experiment for the last day of winter break. Started out as an exercise in attempting the "strange wall" effect from SilentHill2... But sidetracked into a peaceful meadow of flesh tubes. Enjoy.

Noodles are all simple 2D, view-facing strips of geo, deformed and offset in 3D space. Could probably be full 3D in nanite, but I'm confident the SE2 effect I was mimicking was done with "pseudo-3D" like this, so wanted to keep it in that vein.

2024 has been a rough year for video games. We sat down with five of the best indie game developers to discuss the highs and the lows.
Huge thanks to @Billy_Basso (@Animal_Well), @JumpOvertheAge (Citizen Sleeper), @edoublea (Riven), @sabotoy (@seaofstarsgame) and Ana Opara of @PounceLight (Tiny Glade) for joining us!

It is 1984. I am 8 yrs old & side-eyeing the soft, moist “corncake” served to me on my ChiChi’s plate.
It is 1994. I am 18 yrs old & look forward to that thing every time go to ChiChi’s.
It is 2004. ChiChi’s implodes.
It is 2024. I am 48 yrs old & have become 98% corncake.

We (@cyanworlds) were recently invited to participate in a roundtable discussion with an amazing lineup of indie game devs. It was an absolute honor to be able to meet & “talk shop” with such an inspiring and accomplished group of people.

My first attempt at making legit Chicago tavern-style “cracker crust” pizza (which essentially is the exact style of Midwest pizza I grew up eating). 5/5 stars, will 100% make again. Regularly.

The time has come for Digital Foundry to celebrate the visual arts in our traditional 'Best Gaming Graphics of the Year' video - and @dark1x, @Dachsjaeger and @oliemack have a superb line-up to discuss... but which game takes the top slot? youtu.be/7vihrmynaRI
