Vince Zampella was the absolute best to ever do it. Literally. His impact across publishers, studios, franchises and genres was unmatched. Commercially and creatively he was an absolute juggernaut. A tremendous loss for this industry, and to those who were close to him. Rest in peace.
"Despite clear Covid-era evidence that GDC could be digitally accessible, and there being no reason but [organizer] Informa’s bottom line for the event being so expensive, GDC remains offline-only and the ticket prices obscene," - one of my quotes in this article

I feel like your regular style matches nicely with Hollow Knight! Looking sweet!
What a great bundle. Produce some purchase if you want some sidescrolling ninja action!
Multiplayer crews is what I've been waiting for this whole time. It really is amazing how much time and effort has been put into the game post launch, how far it has come and how much content has been added for free!

🧠 Quaternions 🤯
3D rotations can be complex, often using quaternions, a challenging but popular concept in game development. Why not simpler Euler angles? What are quaternions? Freya explores these questions in her talk.
Ninja Gaiden 4 is looking like a great return to the franchise, and partnering up with Platinum no less.
Still eagerly awaiting the Rise of the Ronin PC port.
Someone shared this with me recently and it's such a cool article with great detail and good visuals that I wanted to share it here as well. Hope you enjoy it :)
