Nobody Wants to Die is a cyberpunk detective game by Critical Hit Games, set in a dystopian 2329 New York. The protagonist, James Karra, navigates a world where immortality is attainable at a high societal cost. Guided investigations that use tools like a time-manipulation bracelet keep players engaged. The narrative explores themes relevant to present-day issues, from wealth inequality to the commodification of human bodies. #Cyberpunk #Dystopia #VideoGames https://lnkd.in/gesWnR3c

There are only so many Material Launches we can have in a year, though the hard limit for that has not been something we have been keen to explore we generally get about one launch a month. This is mostly a limit on how much crunch we want (zero) and how much freedom we want to give our artists to explore the themes to their limit (as much as humanly possible) and the number we get is around twelve a year. With that in mind, our first launch of the year is hear and it just so happens to be the 1st of possibly three launches for our Cyberverse 2024 theme! Matt Dirks may or may not have been pretty inspired by the Cyberpunk2077 Phantom Liberty expansion and went absolutely ham on creating a fun scene!

Setup interview for No Rest for the Wicked with The New York Times. I have so much admiration for the Times and am lucky being a small part of pulling this together (big part due to Tara Bruno & her team's ongoing support). What may be interesting, to anyone who has followed the ARPG genre, is how the Moon Studios team is approaching their game with a "handcrafted approach" vs. more recent trends of procedural generation. Matt Nava, designer behind Journey, claims “Whether the game is good, bad, moral or immoral depends less on the level of proceduralism and more on the design choices behind it.” Not advocating a right or wrong choice here either. But like Nava, what really matters is the importance behind those decision -- looking forward to see how NRFTW and other games continue to challenge conventions and where that takes us as players. https://lnkd.in/epKhP7YS
