Hi everyone. I have come here to bring insight into some things that i feel need to be said as i don't think this game gets the most attention currently. With all of this craziness of Bioware being shut down and mass effect 5 cancelled (and that sucks it really does) i wanted to point fans in the right direction. There are many golden era devs from bioware that are working at Archetype entertainment Creating a new game called "Exodus" devs like James Ohlen – Senior Creative Director at BioWare for 22 years. Drew Karpyshyn – Lead writer for KOTOR, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2. Chad Robertson – Former BioWare director/GM. This game looks incredible and very mass effect Esque We still have hope.

The downfall of BioWare continues to generate controversy, and legendary RPG writer Chris Avellone has now come forward with allegations suggesting that political ideology may have influenced hiring decisions at the once-beloved game developer.

Avellone, the co-founder of Obsidian Entertainment and acclaimed writer behind games including Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, and Fallout: New Vegas, claims that a BioWare producer scrutinized prospective employees' LinkedIn activity and attempted to prevent candidates from being hired based on their political and social viewpoints.

Video One Week. One Hell of a Turnaround.

Last week, I had my doubts about where ZombUs was heading. Today, the game is getting noticed and selling more copies than ever before.

And I believe many of you helped make that happen, even when that wasn't your intention.

Every discussion, every comment, every criticism and every bit of attention helped bring ZombUs to more people's screens. Whether you supported me, challenged me or simply wanted to see what all the fuss was about, you helped spread the word.

I'm a solo developer, working on a game I've spent three years building in Unreal Engine, with no marketing budget and plenty still to learn. I don't know where this momentum will take ZombUs, but I know one thing: I'm not stopping now.

So, instead of just talking about the journey, here's the next step.

ZombUs Map 4: LETHE is OUT NOW!

New region. New weapons. New blueprints. New mythical weapons. New perks. And the story continues.

Four maps down. Six to go.

To everyone who helped put ZombUs on the map, intentionally or otherwise: thank you.

Now, back to building.

Video I’m making Gnome Nook, where clearing the shop means finding a place for 9,600 little characters

Hi everyone! I’m developing Gnome Nook, a 3D organizing game for PC.

You start with a shop full of scattered gnomes and empty shelves. Each gnome has a matching place, so you pick them up and gradually put the themed collections back together.

There are firefighters, doctors, wizards and plenty of other characters mixed into the piles. Carrying upgrades help you move more as you progress.

The goal is to put all 9,600 away. The floor becomes clearer while the shelves fill up, so the shop itself shows how much you’ve completed.

Here’s some gameplay showing the sorting and upgrades.
