"Seeing a small studio attacking such an ambitious concept with confidence and precision was an invigorating way to start my day at Game-a-Palooza." Thank you so much for the lovely writeup, @jacornonthecob.bsky.social!!

Pretty sure this was Halo 2 for me, as I clearly remember mapping out the multiplayer maps and then starting to sketch out new ones based on what I learned.
This week has been beyond difficult for the games industry, so we want to use this weeks #QuestionsWithCauseway to reflect on how impactful games are. So, which game or franchise made you want to be a developer?

"A perpetually self-feeding meat grinder:" The futile search for developers who adore the latest prompt-gobblers from Unity and Google

This is probably my favorite preview I've ever gotten to write. One of those games that feels like it creates genuine magic. Can't wait for the full release 💜

Rest of my life is tough, because the criteria is so unique… One approach is to pick a live service game: there’s updates, but also it may be shut down. Mine would be Destiny 2. The other is something I could enjoy as is, but I don’t typically like endless replayability. Wait! I know: Diablo 2.
We all have games we could keep going back to, but this week for #QuestionsWithCauseway we're curious... If you could only play one game for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Every person I know that has played Demonschool has loved it. Plus, this quote by its creative director is all you need to know to support it.
It's the Spring Sale on Steam! Demonschool is 20% off!!! You should please buy it if you have not. It's no exaggeration to say the more people buy the game, the more we'll be able to do with it in the future. So tell your friends as well! store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...
There are so many stories to be told, from wildly different perspectives and contexts, in the world of Horizon. I would love to see it cross mediums, though probably most effectively in an anthology format.
All of our stories exist in a shared universe we call The Worlds Across The Causeway, and we hope one day we can go beyond games with it. So for this week's #QuestionsWithCauseway, we ask... What game would you love to be expanded into its own universe across media (and which media would that be)?

"Overall, the game felt like an unconventional blend of some of my favorite horror puzzle games and surrealist media, in the best way possible." Playing The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham made Brandon feel smart. Check out his preview from PAX West.

You didn't think we would stay away forever, did you? Attention indie devs, WE ARE BACK!
New bird. Same goal. Introducing three annual Steam events hand-curated to champion, elevate, and celebrate the very best of the indie scene. 🌸 Bloom Fest: Spring 2027 🏎️ Demo Derby: Summer 2027 🏆 Indie Encore: Winter 2027 But first… 🍁 Grand Theft Autumn: Nov. 16th - 23rd 🔗 www.crowbar.diy/events
I’m pretty damn certain you’d see the same results if you did this study on game franchises or even studios.
A new report from Luminate has found that long gaps between seasons of streaming TV shows are leading to major losses in viewership. More than a 1 year gap is seen to largely cause a significant loss in viewership. (Source: luminatedata.com/reports/2026...)

It’s hard to nail the vibe of a neo-noir mixed with some David Lynch, but The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham seems to understand what makes both vibes click. - @diegoescala.bsky.social Our preview: monstervine.com/2026/09/the-... @causewaystudios.com

@causewaystudios.com The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham was the demo that I spent the most time on by far. They mixed Res.Evil-like puzzles with an AlanWake2-like mystery board, all intertwined with full motion video scenes. Stuff gets weird w/ film&CUTTING time! It's clever, creepy, & I.WANT.MORE.

You know, I’m still looking for a new one… I think if the Final Fantasy Tactics release leads to an updated FFTA, that could potentially fill that slot 🤔
We see a lot about annual rewatches of movies and shows at this time of year, so today's #QuestionsWithCauseway is what game do you always come back to and replay?
