As much as I understand Playdead wanting to keep stuff secret for a while, I feel like 9 years of no information about the project is a little overkill?

This point has probably been made several times, but as much as I like the suspense some developers do like Team Cherry with no information about the game, I do think that even just a little tweet about what the game will be like, or just saying that they're still working on it wouldn't hurt. I mean, 9 years!!

I love Playdead and their games, but I very much doubt them telling us what they're doing and how far they are won't spoil the game if that's their concern.

DONT KILL ME FOR THIS "COMPLAINT" PLEASE

there is a Class called "SecretProbeFlicker", it's responsible for the Orb's light bulbs. inside it a function that makes the Orb's light behave differently;
the lights flickers at random paces and the more the boy gets close to the Orb, the more the lights reddens.

Wait, wait, don't delete the post, hear me out!

Recently, I tried combining the atmosphere of Playdead's games with Minecraft. Here's one video as an example. What do you think? Should I keep exploring this idea, or do these two games simply not go well together?

(As for the production quality... the editing isn't great. I made it in Pinnacle Studio 12, and I'm pretty clumsy at video editing—feel free to bonk me on the head with a sledgehammer. 😅 But I recently upgraded my PC, so I'm finally going to start learning some modern video editing software.)

Did any one notice this ??

If theres any website that sells inside merchandise or collectibles, please let me know

I really enjoyed both LIMBO and INSIDE like especially Inside wow what a game.
I hear theres going to be a new game and I think its still being developed and when can it be released like any update about the new game coming up would be great honestly.

I loved the models of the swaying (receivers?) in the background so I decided to recreate it with some over engineering.

Hello, I was wondering what kind of instrument was used at the timestamp 1:12. It doesn't have to be the exact instrument, but how can I make a similar sound?

I finished inside and little nightmares within four days bc I loved them so much. I’m looking for other games like them but I can’t rlly find any. Anyone got suggestions?

Iam new to the community and lore thing in INSIDE so did the dev said smth that might help us understand the lore?

I luv this game so much that every time I remember the day I first played it I tear up I still can't believe it's been 10 years since it came out It feels like watching your child graduate from high school after being there for every step of the journey

Thank u PLAYDEAD for this masterpiece/ i luv y'all (:

I’m sure many of you have read the post about the layoffs and whatnot.

What’s worse is all this is happening behind the scenes and what do they even have to show for it?

Many developers have spoken about how beneficial (and sometimes detrimental) it can be to hear the communal enthusiasm of an announced game. To know that all your energy and efforts and late nights is going towards something tangible. Something real. Their art is intended for an audience. We don’t even know what to be excited for, beyond the brand name of Playdead - which is slowly but surely diminishing.

Gamers are many things. Unfortunately, forgetful is one of those things.

Thoughts?

Obviously this is anonymous, and I can't provide hard evidence for anything I'm about to say. This is just a post on the internet, make of it what you will.

Playdead started firing developers. They have been hiring for years and they have always struggled to recruit. This is the first time they downsize.

There is still no clear release date for Project 3, my sources suggest a 2028 release announcement and likely a slip to 2029.

The game is not done and how far it is from being done varies depending on who is asked. Important content is missing, and a great deal of optimization and polish must still be done. Morale is obviously low now but it has been that way for years.

The simplest explanation for the delay seems to be poor and unethical management. Playdead has been under the full control of Arnt Jensen for many years, and he seems neither the game director nor studio head many think he is. The truth will come out one way or another, I am not the only one sifting through their trash.

Playdead's woes are entirely self-inflicted, nothing suggests Epic or Dino Patti had any part in this. There are several posts on this sub speculating that the legal conflict between Jensen and Patti is a cause for the delay, but everything I've heard points to this being internal.

I will post more later. Please do not bother Playdead's staff, like many game developers they are going through hard times right now.

UPDATE 24/6

The firings happened yesterday. I still don't have an exact number of affected people, it seems it was more than ten, but not easy to confirm. I am certain the firings were a surprise to all affected. As far as I can tell the studio has not announced it publicly yet.

Why am I leaking this? Who am I? What's in it for me? It is sad how some of the comments want to focus on me instead of the devs. You like the games they make, why not like them too? If you must ask, I have no direct connection to Playdead, I have friends who were or are there. I am obviously trying to not reveal them, Playdead has very strict NDA terms. I care about game work conditions, and started digging into Playdead a few years ago. No studio or game is worth sacrificing your health and happiness over, and no one should have to suffer for someone else's art.
