The organizers of the annual Game Developers Conference (GDC) have shown the dates of next year’s event, which will be a physical/virtual hybrid.
This year’s GDC was one of the first major video game occasions to be canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Some virtual meetings were published in March as a short-term replacement, and last week, digital-only GDC Summer broadcast a broader content program to more than 9,700 virtual participants.
The GDC has shown that next year’s convention, scheduled at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, will take place july 19-23, 2021, rather than in its very spring window. The format will again be a combination of conferences, exhibitions and roundtables, but now it will come with a full virtual content program for virtual participants. It’s a welcome, security-oriented technique that will make more content available to a wider audience.
The new format looks like a positive and expected replacement for GDC, which will get advantages for its organizers and the progression network as a whole. Meanwhile, readers interested in the progression of the game deserve to notice the desirable story of Mixolumia.

This Twitter feed shows the progression of the standalone puzzle game Mixolumia. It’s a brilliant concept and you may only be informed of one or two things.
“I don’t know what it is, but I had a concept,” Dave Hoffman, also known as davemakes, wrote on Twitter. Turns out “this” is a wonderful concept for a puzzle game.
The tweet was dated January 29, 2019 and marked the progression of what would become Mixolumia.
But at the time, it was just an undeniable idea: what if a puzzle game, like Tetris or Columns, was played on a 45-degree rotating grid?
– davemakes ? ✨ mixolumia (@davemakes) January 29, 2019
It turns out to be such an undeniable idea, and it’s a wonder no one’s ever had any idea about it before.
It’s not uncommon for developers to tweet the first concepts to see if they generate interest, just take a look at this 2014 bugnax tweet, but the appeal is that Hoffman has continued to paint this snippet of the game, from the prototype to the final release. Organize everything on this Twitter feed.
This means that every time they found a challenge, or had a small advance, or simply made a small adjustment, they would enter the thread. It also meant that they had to ask their subscribers questions and design participatory resources for the game that would eventually be Mixolumia. Like what happens when you get to a corner, for example, a challenge that wouldn’t happen in a classic vertical grid:

Which, a few days later, is more subtle in this:
– ✨ ? ? davemakes (@davemakes) February 2, 2019
It is attractive to hint at the public progression of an independent game. Twitter can be a lot of terrible, terrible things, smart things, but this kind of instant information? You’d find it hard to get it any other way. However, all of those are gifs of laughter and eye-catching effects:

From there, you can see the addition of a Patreon demo, which presented a touch of progression, and the addition of a scoring system, a break and a menu of options, music through Hoffman and Josie Brechner, color palette options, particles. effects, etc. More. Accessibility features and game modes are even covered, plus a relaxing mode.
And now, a year and a part later, Mixolumia can now be purchased in the independent program Itch.io. It offers a 10% cast reduction for a limited time and will only charge you $9. It’s a smart deal, of course, but understanding the procedure through the Twitter feed is priceless.

You may need to refer to the fine print of Control’s “next generation free upgrade” offer.
Developer Remedy Entertainment and publisher 505 Games today announced Control Ultimate Edition. Unsurprisingly, it includes the core game and its two DLC, The Foundation and AWE, which has not yet been released, on the theme of Alan Wake. It also brings the game, in the past, an exclusive of Epic for PC, to the Steam store for the first time.
So far, so standard. But we’re just around the corner from the next generation of consoles, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. This means that publishers are struggling to offer next-generation loose updates to players who buy games like Marvel’s Avengers or Cyberpunk 2077, to check. to prevent enthusiasts from delaying their purchases at the end of the existing generation.
The “Free Update” is reserved for players who purchase Control Ultimate Edition on PS4 or Xbox One. Anyone who already has the fundamental edition of the game will get the update.
So, in a sense, it’s less of a “next generation loose update” in Control, which deserves to come with players who already own the game, and more than a next-generation reserve. Pre-order a copy of Control Ultimate Edition for PS5 or Xbox Series X and get a loose edition to play on existing generation consoles right now.
Obviously, it’s still not terrible, but it’s a bit of a delicate point for players who have already bought and supported the game.

The Xbox Series X will be elected in November, according to Microsoft, despite Halo Infinite’s delay.
Halo Infinite will no longer be available this holiday season. But, Microsoft insists, the Xbox X Series still is.
“We have a lot to keep you busy until Chief arrives: there will be thousands of games to play, over 4 generations, when the Xbox Series X is presented internationally in November and more than a hundred optimized for Xbox Series X titles, designed to take advantage of the full merit of our maximum-strength console, is scheduled for this year,” Tuttle writes.
“And with all-new console features such as direct hardware-accelerated X-ray tracking, cadences of up to 120 frames consistent with seconds, faster charging times, and fast game recovery, the game will be better, no matter which games you choose to play. day one. “
Microsoft no longer has a formula distributor for this fall. We’ll see if it matters.

Halo Infinite, Microsoft’s flagship name for the Xbox Series X release, was postponed until next year.

Halo Infinite, Microsoft’s flagship name for the Xbox Series X release, was postponed until next year.
Look, after the deadline for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, nothing can hurt me. But that doesn’t mean Halo enthusiasts around the world are disappointed that they don’t have another Millennium Harvest to spend this holiday season.
Microsoft made the announcement on Twitter, Halo’s official account.
“We made the difficult resolution of moving our launch in 2021 so that the team has enough time to deliver a Halo wonder that fulfills our vision,” wrote Chris Lee, studio director at 343 Industries.
“The resolution of replacing our edition is the result of multiple points that have contributed to the progression challenges, adding the continuous effects of COVID that all of us this year. I would like to praise the harsh paintings of our team at 343 Industries, which is committed to creating a wonderful game and finding answers to progression challenges. However, it is not sustainable for the well-being of our team or for the overall good fortune of the game to send you this holiday … The extra time will allow us to complete the critical paintings needed to deliver the ultimate ambitious Halo game ever created with the quality we know our enthusiasts expect.
Halo Infinite is the third original 3four3 Halo game. Halo four and Halo five have let many fans down for a lifetime. As a result, the good luck of Halo Infinite a lot.
But when Microsoft first brought a full game last month, the game’s graphics were mocked and memorized on the Internet. Halo Infinite just didn’t look like what enthusiasts expected from a next-generation Halo game.
In part, this is because Halo Infinite is a next-generation Halo game. Microsoft has committed to releasing proprietary titles on the upcoming X Series and the old Xbox One. Halo Infinite has the unenviable task of running on hardware of this generation while resembling a next-generation game.
Let’s hope that with the extra time, 343 can offer a game that looks like an evolutionary leap. And I hope you can also improve your physical and intellectual fitness in the process.
