This past weekend, Infinite Sided Dice wrapped it's second season of Cyberpunk: Edge of Extinction. It is such a privilege to be able to create an actual play program with such a skilled production team and cast. This in-studio actual play utilizes the Cyberpunk Red Roleplaying Game from R. Talsorian Studios to explore Pondsmith's dark future. When people think of "cyberpunk" as a genre, they tend to imagine giant guns and neon lights. While yes, there are big guns and neon lights, the essence of cyberpunk is about examining your relationship to the self and your place in humanity as a whole. As a performer and an artist, it has been a dream come true to be able to explore these themes with a group of talented creatives and share our story with the world. Furthermore, as a digital media specialist, it is so exciting that we live in a time where entertainment like this is readily available for free on YouTube. You can watch Cyberpunk: Edge of Extinction here: https://lnkd.in/g9GRecR6

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

This game is an outstanding testament to what brings people to games: a deep and meaningful story combined with real person communication and interaction. If you look at some of the most successful games over the past 3 to 4 years, the continued theme throughout them all is the ability to interact with our friends, strangers, partners, etc. in new and exciting ways (think of Fortnite being the most accessible battle royale and revolutionizing the genre, Among Us providing a new way to play with large groups of friends). In 2022, my wife and I played this game for the first time. We had been married for two years at that point, and had just gone through the hardest year of our marriage. While this game didn’t save it, it did help us learn how to communicate better with each other and work towards getting back to a better place in our relationship. What we find as we get older is that there is no cookie cutter model for communication. It’s not a “one size fits every relationship” sort of thing. Everyone communicates differently with everyone, and the best communicators are the ones that realize that sooner. This game, along with some of the most successful games of recent history, provides an opportunity for you to learn how to communicate more effectively with someone that you likely already have a relationship with. This is the perfect game for longtime friends, new partners, or anyone who just wants to get to know someone better. I cannot say enough good things about this game and I hope that studios make more like it. Do you have any niche examples of ways to communicate in your world? Sports, tech, hobbies… they all have such intricate worlds that not everyone gets insight into. Share them here so we can talk about them!

Stellar Blade is a game known for its combat mechanics and captivating soundtrack, but it needs to improve in other areas. The storyline is forgettable, and the characters are unremarkable. The protagonist, EVE, is more of an eye candy than a fully fleshed-out character. The game makes feeling emotionally engaged in supposedly serious narrative moments difficult. Exploration feels tedious due to uninspired level design and rehashed enemies, which need more depth and intrigue than similar games like Nier. While Stellar Blade is visually stunning, it severely lacks substance, forcing players to wade through mediocrity to experience fleeting moments of combat brilliance. #StellarBlade #Playstation #PS5 #Playstation5 #VideoGame #VideoGames

#nonexistinggame #gamemusic #gamesoundtrack First soundtrack for the non-existing game is out now! Inspired by the soundtracks of Celeste and UNDERTALE, I'm starting a new, experimental chapter. The first track, 'pulse' fits perfectly for the title screen and the beginning of the game. https://adm.ffm.to/pulse

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!
