1000xRESIST comes out on May 9th.
I’ve been told that we accidentally made MULTIPLE GAMES:
a survival horror
a time puzzler
a walking simulator
a visual novel
a side-scroller
When in my heart, I was making what FF7 made me feel when it hurt me as a kid.
#1000xRESIST
is a hyper-cinematic narrative adventure set in an impossible future. Made by sunset visitor 斜陽過客.
💠 Reverence in Her Glory
💠 Rupture in Her Heartbreak
💠 Remain in Her Place
It all Repeats May 9th:
We worked so hard on this 🥹 we just wanted to see it in a game!
Also, we mulled over so many options for the proper way to “localize” this in Traditional Chinese.
very cool & fitting how 1000xRESIST uses vernacular cantonese subtitles! they're so rare i don't even remember when the last time i've seen them in a commercial product is 🥹
I convinced one of our composers for

I've known Drew since 2008 - we studied music together - and I've admired his work since the very beginning.
Here's a snippet of one of my favs from the game:
I was so happy to sit down with the amazing people at Point'n Think and talk

Hearing this arrangement of "A Teardrop" is surreal to me.🥲

. We talk about games as art, diasporic narratives, dark hilarity, episodic development, the origin of "hekki", the legacy of KRZ, and much more. Enjoy!✨
🎵
@1000xRESIST
is jam-packed with music by two amazing composers: Line Katcho and Drew Redman.
We would listen to their music while writing and play them for the actors while recording.
Can't wait for others to finally hear these: 85 tracks that span so, so many emotions.
@1000xRESIST
is on New and Trending!
If anybody is playing the game tonight and enjoying their experience, please consider leaving a review of your thoughts so far.
It's been an amazing experience launching this game, thank you to everyone who bought on Day 1!
As performing artists, all our plans (and jobs) dissolved during the pandemic. We needed to find a new way to make work.
After of a year of dev with

From satirical nun stories to fist fighting grizzlies, and a little bit of cheesecake in between, these are the games that made an impact this year
🎮 LIST
Finished 1000xRESIST and what a beautiful experience. Vulnerable, eloquent, profound, and genuinely one of the greatest stories told not just in games, but art as a whole. A phenomenal debut title from
@RemySiu
and the team and a true must-play
This was the first piece that
@dredtunes
wrote for 1000xRESIST. I remember thinking it was the first opening into a whole musical milieu. We live inside that world for so long as the OST was written over two years.
To hear
@conradtao
play it 😭
“As two crew members and I probed a fragile cruiser, I felt the ripple of each choice in this ship’s decaying hull and my characters’ skyrocketing stress.”

@1000xResist
launch day and I got to do a let’s play for the team! Means a lot to be thought of for this opportunity as someone who’s big on story games.
1000xResist posits the beautiful question of what if a normal 2010s dipshit teen became the leader of the only religion of the only society left on the Earth a thousand of years after the collapse of humanity
On
@1000xResist
:
"It’s beautifully written, and I was absolutely enraptured by the direction of the voice cast. It’s a series of such understated, quiet performances of even the NPCs, a really atypical approach to voice acting..."
1000xResist is the most I've recently felt about a game and you can clearly see it was made by people who didn't think about videogames all the time while making one
You know what's really good? Scavengers Reign. It's become my lunchtime show, and hoo boy, it's fucked up and weird and disgusting and I'm enjoying every minute of this shockingly adult animated sci-fi show.
It really was an incredible honour to be nominated alongside these games — I’ve played all of them, and truly loved all of them.
When we started
@1000xRESIST
, I never thought we’d be going to GDC, and never even considered being nominated for the IGFs. It’s been an amazing time.
Congrats to the Mediterranea Inferno, Anatomy of a Killer & Venba teams for winning the Excellence in Narartive, Nuovo and Seumas McNally Grand Prize
#IGF2024
awards! 🏆
It was an honor for
@1000xRESIST
to be nominated alongside you! 🙇🏼

, about their absolutely incredible narrative adventure. Learn more about the trials and tribulations that went into this amazing experience in our interview:
I've been waiting for this one after playing the demo earlier this year.
The last scene in the demo really caught me off guard!
Congrats to
@UntilThenGame
for launching 🥳
@1000xRESIST
has some real genuine horror.
You'll witness institutions eat themselves alive because of stagnation. It will scare the shit out of you, I promise.
Arco has +150 reviews, 98% being positive ✨
Sadly, we are struggling to make people notice about the game itself, being considered already as a "hidden gem"💎
Our gameplay trailer shows how Arco works, and hopefully it will catch your eye 👀
A RT will help us A LOT🙏
At the end of this, I got to talk about Norman Armour, who created PuSh Festival in Vancouver.
His curation and the youth tickets ($5) allowed so many of us to see diverse work from all around the world that we wouldn’t otherwise see (Lebanon, Korea, Japan, and more)
RIP Norman
@1000xResist
I am a big fan of maps that convey information about a location without expressly orienting you directly in it. You can use them to navigate, but through observation of your surroundings rather than in game icons. It also allows another vector of world building.
100% believe in this.
Our aspirations with
@1000xResist
and beyond is to have the writers shepherd their scene from written word, to voice recording, to in-game. It would not be the same otherwise! Writers are not just word machines!
1) There have been a couple threads today about the importance of having writers on set, and a lot of them have focused on last minute changes to to physical locations, story continuity, etc, but there are two other reasons I want to hit a) dialogue and b) training
@Skinney
@Wario64
Here to say that
@1000xRESIST
runs 50fps-90fps on Steam Deck, and has full controller support :)
It's one of my favourite ways to play it! We also made sure to tune our sound mix to those Deck speakers!
OUT NOW:
@RemySiu
, creative director of the incredible game
@1000xResist
, goes guesto mode!! If you like writing, art, lore used for good instead of evil, the farm arc of Vinland Saga, and being a genius, you WILL listen to this!!
We went from making "devised theatre" to making video games.🔥
It’s not always smooth🫠, but I truly believe different processes create strange new things!

Videoverse is my favourite game in recent memory. Such human, intimate exploration of burgeoning technology and our lives around it.
There’s no other game that exists that captures it the way you did!!

🙏 being from the experimental music world, one of my great regrets was never being able to meet Pauline Oliveros in person. i believe we were supposed to be in Banff at the same time in 2017 for a program, but she passed before then.
@GamesByKinmoku
Also feel overwhelmed by all the games this weekend 😅 so many, and they all look so good.
But I keep thinking about Videoverse and how people born today will play it in the future and experience how that FELT like. And know “us” a bit better.
