As you finalize your plans for the 2019 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco next week, organizers want to quickly remind you that this year the show will play host to four hour-long deep dives into the design and development of classic games!

These special Classic Game Postmortems are just a few of the many sessions available to you in the GDC 2019 Session Scheduler, but they're a bit more historic than your typical GDC talk.

Each is usually hosted by a game dev veteran with lots of stories to share (often for the first time!) about their work and their time in the industry, making these sessions a great way to learn more about th…

The game market in China is vastly different from the market in the US, and most Western countries. China has never particularly had a console or packaged game business – it's always been free to play, in one way or another. In his talk at GDC China, Rety Chen, CEO and CPO of Mokylin Technology discussed how the business model that's appropriate for a company in the Chinese market depends both on where the market is for your platform, and where your company is in its lifecycle. He also says that it's a good time to be making mobile games in China. Overall, Chen urges that "you can't build a model for a business model's sake. It's systemic." A game is a balance, he says – on the one end there's fun, and on the other end, there's pro…

Capcom released an absolute gem of a game this year. No, I’m not talking about Dragon’s Dogma 2, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, or Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection–all of which hit shelves in 2024. And you didn’t miss a stealth release in the Resident Evil, Street Fighter, or Monster Hunter series. Alongside three major well-received releases, Capcom released an off-beat game filled with ghosts, Japanese tradition, and strategic job assignment: Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. This game was released in 2024, but it feels like it was sent forward from 2004–in all the best ways.

No one is going to blame you for having missed it. To say it flew under the radar is an understatement, and Capcom said in a recent financial briefing that the game did not meet sales targets. But Kun…

Walmart might be trying to clear out its inventory of select video game-inspired mini fridges, because two of the coolest little coolers are now available for only $29 each. Minecraft fans can grab an officially licensed mini fridge modeled after the iconic Creeper mob from the game. The Minecraft Creeper Mini Fridge is over two feet tall and emits a green glow in low light. It originally had a rather ridiculous $168 aski…

After months of references to a new, space-faring Overwatch hero, Blizzard has finally announced the next character headed to its popular first-person shooter: Juno. Come from malaysia online casino

The studio shared the news via a trailer showcasing some of the upcoming support hero’s various skills, which seem to focus on mobility and providing long-range healing. But while Juno won’t officially be joining Overwatch 2 until Season 12 kicks off on August 20, eager players can try out the out-of-this-world healer during her limited-time hero trial this weekend.

Among the many new materials that arrived with the Sakurajima DLC in Palworld is Plasteel. This is the ultimate material for any player looking to make some endgame content that will stack up against anything out in the world. Plasteel is primarily used to make armor, weapons, and other high-level base equipment. It’s also a requirement to make the best Sphere in Palworld, which is extra important for capturing the top Pals from the Sakurajima DLC.

To see the entire process of crafting and using Plasteel in Palworld, take a look below.
