This teaser 7 years ago! 
We are getting closer now!!
Also I wish I had the actual time to play it for longer meaningful playsessions.... Only realistic option is during Christmas if I can get the kiddo dragged away from Roblox for few a seconds.
Otherwise it's not looking good. 
Update: Oh and the early metacritic scores are in! Looking pretty sweet there!
Usually early days are 'just a bit early'. And the less positive reviews might lurk around the corner. But It looks very promising regardless! Let's see what the player reception will look like in a few days.
One thing is sure.. it will sell ton of copies!

So it's Cyberpunk 2077 launch day! One of the years biggest releases.
Also it's my 3 years work anniversary at PortaPlay. But that is >completely< unrelated.
There are a near infinite numbers of reviews out there. So I won't bore you with that. But Digital Foundry takes an early look at the rendering behind the game. That's of cause just a tiny component of such massive game. But always fun for technerds.
Also the DK developed cyberpunk themed game Static Sky from Framebunker for iPad (at least originally) is still in development and there hasn't been a whole lot of news on that front for a while. Did some very early contributions for a couple weeks on that project back in 2013 where that journey started. I'm still very exited about a Danish cyberpunk themed game!
Crossing fingers they will finish it at some point. Their web presence has certainly shrunk. Not sure that is that best sign.
But now to Digital Foundry's look at Cyberpunk 2077 on PC!

Re: News! Tech! Tools! Talks! Games! And Stuff Worth Sharing!
And from (DK) Slipgate Ironworks comes a (very) time-limited demo of retro inspired action shooter RPG'ish Graven. Available until the 13th december 2020.
Had some problems with the demo not starting at all due to shader errors earlier today. But on another machine I got it running. Just about to give it a short look!
In case you missed the demo window. There are 30 mins of gameplay here.
*Quick update*
I must say I quite enjoyed it!
Even with it's slew of bugs, being under development and not being a top of the line game.
The game feels a bit closer to games like Dark Messiah (without fancy physics stuff) as opposed to Hexen/Heretic that I thought this game would be. Which is a good thing!
There are too way few Dark Messiah like games out there!
The mood and music works quite well.
The levels are fairly open for exploration. Secrets here and there.
Weapons are useful. Fairly limited ammo will make you pick the right weapon for the right encounter.
The checkpoint system doesn't work well in it's current form. In may cases I felt I teleported to a random location I had not visited. A clear "magic stoneslab" indication of checkpoints would work so much better to illustrate that player had activated a checkpoint. Should be trivial implementation.
Had a point on the lighthouse where I almost got stuck on level geometry because I went climbing.
The level design can be a little misleading here and there.
NPC's and enemy characters within their own category are very samey visually. Given the low fidelity of the game. It wouldn't be completely unheard of with a bit more variation. Also the character art is not the strongest. Passable.
The difficulty was quite easy. It's defiantly not a souls-like game.. so for old pops here.. THAT IS GREAT NEWS!
So you can just have an adventure without spending hours and hours skill-grinding and replaying the same segments over and over. Works for me!
There are also some very light puzzle segments. Put crate here to open door type of stuff. It's ok.
Shift running had some strange issues.
Melee combat could certainly use a block.
It won't probably be the next big award winning game. But games doesn't always has to be that to be enjoyed. Had good run with the demo with it's kinks.
But give it a shot and see for yourself if it's a match for your taste. While the demo is still available.

Re: News! Tech! Tools! Talks! Games! And Stuff Worth Sharing!
More cutesy platforming from the DK based developers plus a mostly international team at Gears for Breakfast. The developers of the VERY well revived A Hat in Time.
Has announced Here Comes Niko!
Frog Vibes is the main studio behind the project. And Gears for Breakfast seems to have a smaller co-production role. Listed as publisher on Steam. But cool the less!

An today is release day for DK developed Headland. By Northplay!
Grats on the release!
An article on DR reveals a bit more behind the game.
Dansk spil gør op med forhadt tendens: 'Folk siger, det er idiotisk'
https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/kultur/gaming ... r-idiotisk
Personally I don't think it's an completely idiotic move to do the Free to Try model. Albeit
- IF they have an awesome game on their hands.
- AND has some nice featuring lined up on the stores. Apple Arcade would probably have been wiser on iOS if they was able to get through. But not really sure the visual aspect of the game is strong enough for that.
- AND are not only putting their eggs in one mobile basket. The game could clearly work well on PC and consoles. I guess it's just a matter of marketing of selling the visuals as retro.
But so far a mobile release is the only thing on offer. Which is a little stupid actually. But that can fairly easily be remedied.
A Zelda-like is a completely obvious release candidate for Switch especially!
Get porting guys! You are not done yet!

I totally missed this DK release back in april 2018 from Alimote ApS.
Sadly it doesn't look like it went running really.
The game seems have a fairly strong inspiration in Subway Surfers. But with the some additions like wall running and jump pads.

And a new education (or shorter course it seems) for game producers has emerged in Denmark. Not really sure that DK game development ecosystem job market can truly support that role in great numbers. But it's always a great addition. It will mostly likely be people who has entrepreneurial startup blood running in their veins that will have the most benefit from this.
Lacking on details the course seems to a have certain entrepreneurial streak from what I can skimp through. Which is a very welcome thing.

Oh had a nice little demo play-through today of Little Nightmares II from Tarsier in Malmö. The demo has been out of a little while.
I have a few former colleges from my Sweden years working on it.
Btw. Never got around to give the mobile game (Very Little Nightmares) a spin. Looked nice though!
So if you are in the mood for a bit of atmospheric cinematic platforming with a macabre twist. You should give it a go! I enjoyed the first game. More of that is welcome! It's more in the same vein. And not a bad one!
It's also funny how it's almost impossible to do a side scrolling game starting in a forest without a certain hint of Limbo/Inside feel.
Basically it's this play-through you will experience.

One of my former colleges from the NDS Denmark days has soft launched his little mobile retro inspired space shooter, Danger Grid.
The official space time survival simulator.
Danger Grid is a retro futuristic action adventure game, with elements of exploring, trading and occasional furious laser combat. The visual style is pixelated, low poly, cyberpunk, gritty, and full of neon that glows in the dark.
You, the captain of a small spaceship, will be going on an adventure through time and space, encountering strange worlds, glowing neon lights, trash talking pirates, googly eyed aliens, killer robots, and much more.
Soundtrack produced by: Chris Keya, Danger Mode, Johnny Rehab, Powder Slut, Skimode, Stealth Mode, Superflight, Tapecult, and Video Kids. All tracks are available on Bandcamp.

And now another DK project that went under my radar. Aviator Arcade (2014) And Aviator Arcade II (2018) for Commodore 64 by Mark Hindsbo, Saul Cross and Thomas Egeskov Petersen.
A true retro project. Running on the actual the C64 hardware. (That's pretty cool btw)
The first game was developed in 2014 as a competition project for cartridge and the sequel is also available on Diskette and on itch.io.
Including a playable demo.
Scroll all the way down to Demo download. Recommending the 41MB version that includes the C64 emulator Vice, if you are not already an C64 aficionado. It's ready to run out of the box. Optionally just setup gamepad support and CRT emulation in Vice. And it's smooth sailing from there.
https://rgcddev.itch.io/aviator-arcade-ii
More on the games here
http://www.psytronik.net/newsite/index. ... 02-aviator
The games is a very basic vertically scrolling shoot-em up. And does not veer far from what you would expect from the games of that time it's trying to emulate. Though with a bit of extra stuff here and there. It works well at what it does.
*Edit: Except the weapon pick up system which is actually a bit annoying (Shoot weapon icon to pick up). Should have been collide with chopper or even better hover above the weapon for a few seconds (with a progress bar) to pick it up.
Now have a taste of them sweet member berries!
