I started working on #ARCRaiders nearly 7 years ago when it was just a bunch of wild ideas in documentation and concept art sketches.
It's cool to see how many of the original ideas made it in - this launch trailer really captures how fun and epic the game turned out to be:

Very nice to read things like this. It's exactly what we were aiming for, really :)

Arc Raiders is one of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played. It’s a memory-making machine with no off switch.

This is my 4,000-word review on how it’s pure magic.

Arc Raiders Review - Stronger Together

Arc Raiders is an extraction shooter unlike any other, playing out like a totally unpredictable, immersive, thrilling story generator directed by the community.

I love that #ARCRaiders allows people to create little vignettes and stories like DeadInSperanza is doing on YouTube - we've created a world that people believe in, which is a very special feeling: youtu.be/DYGNMyJoAro

I read these in a broad Yorkshire accent every time I see them :D

Yeah this is how I play a lot too. It's very interesting how different playing solo feels compared to playing in a squad, especially when everything else is exactly the same!

There is no reason that prisons should be for-profit enterprises. Ever. Likewise libraries, hospitals. Profit incentives are all wrong for these kind of services.
You should put money in to get out a healthier, more educated and well-adjusted public, not to get a monetary return.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Damn, very sad to hear that Drew Struzan passed away today. Absolute legend, everyone knows his work even if they never knew who he was. ⭐

Also, if you don't know anything about the game, you can read Aleks' blog post from today taking you through the game at a very high level: arcraiders.com/en/news/ever...
Or just check out all the YouTube videos from tech test 2 earlier this year and see how much fun everyone was having :)

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Heh, I was at Fållan last night for The Darkness!
Pretty decent mid-size venue (and it's walking distance home for me, which is a big win) although the gig last night was interrupted by a false fire alarm halfway through and they had to reboot all the lights and electronics 😅

Argh, this sucks. :(

It's got a bit of a learning curve but it's super cute and very replayable. Best with 4 people but enjoyable with 2. Can take a while to play, especially when learning it, but everyone I've played it with has really enjoyed it

Everdell is a very beautiful board game (and a fun one!)

I've been lucky enough to work with him for the past 8 years, he's hugely inspirational, very generous and considerate. And a massive nerd, haha

Paul Greveson @moppius.bsky.social · Oct 4

omg haha, thanks for the sneak peek 👀 Nora is the best!

Paul Greveson @moppius.bsky.social · Oct 4

It was very cool to meet and chat with Danny and his lil' team for this. Looking forward to see how it ends up!

Arc Raiders releases this month so it's probably time I spilled the beans!

Our team @secrettape.bsky.social has been working on a 3 part series on the game's challenging development for over a year.

Embark has been incredibly transparent and let us tell the story as we saw it. I'm very proud of it
