"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!!

I previewed The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham from @causewaystudios.com at Game-A-Palooza in Brooklyn. I've been super interested in this game and was not disappointed! www.superjumpmagazine.com/previewing-t...

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?

I'm imagining trying to get around an open world 10 yards, and four downs, at a time.

EA Sports has announced that it is working on a new open-world football game that the company calls "Project Gridiron," which seems to be separate from Madden and College Football. https://bit.ly/4z63a9U

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?

We’ve been seeing a lot of new faces discovering South of Midnight lately. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to jump in… this might be it. 🚀South of Midnight is 25% off on PS5! 🚀

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.

Necrosoft Games@necrosoftgames.com

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)?

I helped make a Steam Sale, and it's right next to Control: Resonant! gdoc.events/sale2026 Fantastic sale filled with games made by people of color from AROUND THE WORLD. Check it out! (And please share it too 😉)

I'm really excited to play The Incident at Galley House (@eviltrout.com), especially with how much @amandafarough.ca has been talking it up! Thanks to the reminder, I'm going to go ahead and pencil it in for Friday evening 🫨

There's never enough time to play alllll the video games, so today for #QuestionsWithCauseway we're asking... What's in your backlog that you're looking forward to the most?

I’m pretty damn certain you’d see the same results if you did this study on game franchises or even studios.

DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net

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...)

@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.

So grateful to @ozziemejia.bsky.social and @shacknews.com for this excellent writeup of The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham! If you love David Lynch, full-motion video, and slicing through the fabric of reality to rewrite it, we’re making this game for you!
