Sony’s recent corporate presentation was heavily focused on F2P and live-service games. Piers Harding-Rolls has an excellent analysis thread on Twitter , and these 2 charts leaped out at me.

The upcoming Godot 3.5 is now considered feature complete, and has received a lot of bugfixes and improvements over the past weeks thanks to all the testers and developers who reported and fixed issues. It's now time to move to the Release Candidate stage so that we can release 3.5-stable for all users. At this stage we need people to test this release (and potential follow-up RCs) on as many codebases as possible, to make sure that we catch non-obvious regressions that might have gone unnoticed

In recent years, all we hear about is the "new wave" of horror films - intelligent, arty, unconventional films that contrast themselves with the silly "horror movies" of the past. Among them, of course, are "The Witch: A New-England Folktale " and "The Lighthouse" , which, together with other representatives of mid-2010s horror films, formed a new current in the genre and led it to a new level.

Jul 17, 2020. First official day is Monday but I've started setting up Slack and other web services. Jul 18, 2020. Ordered Linux machine. Talked to Dave about maybe controlling Elaine for a section of the game. Starting to worry about finding great people. It's going to be hard because we have to keep the project a secret. Played MI1 again. Taking a lot of notes about what made MI MI.

Exploding barrels are a nice addition to any game. Devastro 2 already had some but I wanted to make them more fun. Decided to add a burning phase that would indicate a barrel is about to explode.
