A Very Larian Holiday Shanty
Dark Envoy VFX Update - Development UpdateWe gathered our party to bring you this very traditional holiday shanty.� From our crew to yours, Happy Holidays!
Exoplanet: First Contact - BUILD 0.63My name is Stachu, and I am responsible for the design and creation of the VFX for Dark Envoy. Before I got into the video game industry, I worked as a fashion photographer, but one day I realized that I did not feel challenged anymore. I started learning how to program, and my goal was to become a game developer. After months of practicing and gaining experience, I joined one of the biggest game modding projects, Fallout Cascadia. I went on a few different adventures until I ended up working with the Dark Envoy team. So, here I am - a guy who traded taking pictures of beautiful people in nice clothes, for a deep RPG with guns and spells!
The Nier series is Finished - PCGamesNHey folks! It is almost Christmas, and there's no better time to take a breath after this tough and exhausting year. We were working hard to release our biggest update ever , and we've put a great deal of effort into delivering as much content as possible to please everyone who fancies trying a space cowboy outfit on this holiday. So yeah, it is another regular monthly update.
Skyrim. No, Rift Apart. No, wait…Skyrim - Gamesindustry.bizNier creative director Yoko Taro has a Christmas message for fans: The Nier series is now finished!Yes, folks, never mind the success of Nier Automata and Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139, it's all over. In a special holiday video from some of the series key developers, Yoko Taro says in very serious, not-at-all joking terms that Nier is done. (Unless he gets paid.)
Under normal release date rules, my game of 2021 would be Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. Aside from it being a complete visual showstopper, a triumph of design and a total delight to play, it was the first release in many years to make me feel like a wide-eyed kid, sat cross-legged on the floor in complete awe. However, as the GamesIndustry.biz team's Games of the Year picks have historically shown (and continue to do so), we can't always keep up with modern churn -- so I'll take a rare opportunity to own some personal truths. My actual game of the year is Skyrim.
