Indiescovery Episode 10: The Indievision Song Contest

May 17, 2023RockPaperShotgun

Whoooo we’re officially in the double-digits gang! We’ve somehow managed to make it to episode 10 of Indiescovery without going completely feral and wrecking the joint. I say that, but this week’s episode is a little, shall we say, unhinged? Rebecca, Liam, and Rachel hadn’t really had a proper chat all week so there’s a lot of Friday energy and catching up, and the energy levels only increase when we start to talk about our main topic of this episode: Eurovision! And indie games, of course. Read more

Indiescovery Episode 9: Our Steam-y confessions

May 3, 2023RockPaperShotgun

We’re one episode away from being in the double digits, folks! Whoop! But for now, let’s dive into episode nine of Indiescovery. This time we’re chatting about our biggest Steam sins. That’s right, we’re revealing it all: shamefully ignored indie gems, outrageous playtimes, and games that we promise we’ll return to one day, honest! We also get into what we’ve been recently playing and then end, as always, with our hyperfixations. Read more

Fired Disco Elysium devs allege fraud at Studio ZA/UM, say “civil and criminal charges are on the table”

November 9, 2022RockPaperShotgun

Just over two weeks ago I predicted the ZA/uM situation would only get messier, so slap my face and call me Mystic Meg. Disco Elysium’s game director Robert Kurvitz and art director Aleksander Rostov have, at least partially, offered up their side of the story on why they were fired from Disco dev studio ZA/UM in a Medium post titled ‘TO FANS OF DISCO ELYSIUM, CONCERNING THE SITUATION AT ZA/UM‘. Short answer is: they allege fraud. Read more

Disco Elysium has added dyslexia-friendly fonts for those million words

July 1, 2022RockPaperShotgun

Detective RPG Disco Elysium is not short on words, and now that text is a little more inviting. A free update yesterday added the option to display text in fonts which are intended to be easier to read for people with dyslexia. The popular OpenDyslexic typeface is used for many languages, while Russian and Korean have their own fonts. I have a touch of the ol’ dyslexia myself, and do find this font helps me a bit.

Amazon sign first-look deal with the company planning Disco Elysium and Life Is Strange shows

February 18, 2022RockPaperShotgun

Amazon Studios are considering making Prime shows and films based on video games, signing a first-look deal with the production company currently planning adaptations of games including Disco Elysium and Life Is Strange. This will give Amazon the first opportunity to snap up anything DJ2 Entertainment might be making, if they want to. This is not, however, an announcement that Amazon will make these specific shows. These shows still might never get made, by anyone. But maybe it’s enough of a step forwards for you to start daydreaming about what such shows could be? Read more

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut’s voice acting takes getting used to, but it’s worth it

April 1, 2021RockPaperShotgun

A lovely thing about sifting through heaps of text at your own pace is you get to luxuriate on the details and flourishes that catch your personal fancy. A drawback is that sometimes such fixation comes at the expense of pertinent detail. For example, in my previous runs of Disco Elysium, I think I may have gotten distracted by talk of tightrope walkers and hand grenades, and completely glossed over a line telling me that the game takes place in spring. That’s no longer an issue thanks to Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, a free update that adds voice acting…
