@KindraDantone ah this is so good! for some reason I find the particular way the sign letters twist irrationally pleasing

Crow Country is so good y'all 🐦‍⬛ #CrowCountry #lowpoly

Alright, not completely abandoning ship just yet, but my escape pod is going down here: bsky.app/profile/alexbe…

had an incredible time playing Saturnalia this spooky season, as a professional “mission objective” hater huge thanks to @santaragione for including detective mode :D

I gave a talk in France about how we designed the non-linear narrative structure of Outer Wilds! Unfortunately I do not speak French so the talk is in English (sorry, I also struggle with Dutch and the Black Speech of Mordor) youtu.be/z_wFM7eDvd0?si… via @YouTube

@ConradRoset @Mobius_Games Oh wow thanks so much! Always awesome to hear a fellow dev enjoyed our game ::D Also yessss, I'd legit love to see what you'd do with a space exploration game

I just finished The Outer Wilds. Masterpiece!!! The world design, its narrative, and the soundtrack are simply perfect. Top 5 games of my life. @Mobius_Games @AlexBeachum 👏👏👏 I’m really tempted to come up with a space exploration game.😉

@tom_kannaduki No worries, honestly thanks for doing this!

@AlexBeachum I am sorry that this is in the form of an after-the-fact agreement. I have decided to distribute it in accordance with the Outer Wilds mod distribution rules. Thank you for the great game! dropbox.com/scl/fo/gdzu1j4…

Happy 5th orbit around the sun Outer Wilds! To commemorate the occasion I thought it'd be fun to finally release the text adventure I made back in 2014 to prototype the game's overarching mystery. Enjoy! ::D mobiusdigitalgames.com/outer-wilds-te…

@EuGecko @Mobius_Games This is so cool! Also using the focus prongs as the base is super clever

I designed a desk light inspired by the artifact from "Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye" for my final school project @Mobius_Games @AlexBeachum

@DavidAl41786258 @LoanVerneau came up with this specific puzzle solution, and I am now super curious if this was a subconscious inspiration in some way (he's definitely read some French comics)

@AlexBeachum I need to know if there's something between The Outer Wilds and this french comic published around mid 80' called "Incal" or "the adventures of John Difool". Too many similarities on these jellyfish scenes 🧐😱

Welcome to the Space Program! Become a new recruit in this award-winning open world mystery about a solar system trapped in an endless time loop. #OuterWilds: Archaeologist Edition from @A_i and @Mobius_Games is coming to #NintendoSwitch on Dec. 7! #IndieWorld

HYPE!!!

Oh hey @FullIndie reuploaded my Outer Wilds talk from the 2019 Full Indie Summit! Gonna link it here just 'cause I know some folks were wondering where it went: youtube.com/watch?v=vGnce1…

During Next Fest, we reran our LudoNarraCon special guest streams. Now, find them on our YouTube channel! Hear us talk to @ndef, USC Prof of Game Design and host of #MostlyWalking, and @AlexBeachum, creative director of #OuterWilds and co-creative lead at @Mobius_Games.

@dkanaga Hahaha I'm glad we're not the only ones curious about this! Outer Wilds was actually at IGF in 2015, but I'm 99% sure I came up with "Nomai" sometime in 2013 or 2014 (it definitely appears in the 2014 text adventure version I made to plan out the mystery structure)

But here's the official explanation of the etymology zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Zonai, & the Zomai were already present in 2017. So, was Outer Wilds influenced by Zelda again? Or--as OW was at IGF in 2014--were the Nomai already in that version? In which case it may have influenced BotW

Outer Wilds is now Zelda canon

@mattydanielm Good question! I think this post explains it better than I can tbh: reddit.com/r/outerwilds/c…

@AlexBeachum Hey Alex, I hope life is treating you fantastically I have a question about Outer Wilds, (thank you and everyone involved for the unseen yet appreciated hard workbtw) Why don’t you respawn at the nomai statue that triggered the timeloop? Just a convenience thing?

@Mallonum @A_i @Mobius_Games This is insanely, brain-meltingly cool. Please tell me you have plans to make the eject button functional (oooh and the temperature gauge could track your CPU temperature!)

[THREAD] I turned my desk into the Hearthian Ship from #OuterWilds! 🚀 I shared last month the Core I modeled and printed, and mentionned working on something bigger. Well... this is it! ::D @A_i @Mobius_Games ⤵️ Details below

@MySquaredArt @VanKelsing Hey fellow Alex! Thanks for playing our video game ::D Just watched your short Star-Fallen and goddammit didn't realize I was about to get Up'd! (as someone who had glow-in-the-dark stars on their ceiling as a kid this got me right in the feels, well played)

@VanKelsing @AlexBeachum I’m sure you get this a lot, but I just finished Outer Wilds and I’m absolutely blown away, it’s easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. Amazing work 👌 💖

@jonmanatee Ooh I'm into it. You know you've been invaded if you go back to the Hearthian museum and the anglerfish exhibit tank is shattered and empty.

Yo @AlexBeachum I just had the best idea ever: being able to invade other people’s Outer Wilds play through

@politigaymer @andrewprahlow @VanKelsing Fun fact, Kelsey and I originally made this as a joke for Andrew! Also you are very welcome but idk if it's a good idea to encourage us

@andrewprahlow @AlexBeachum @VanKelsing Thanks to both of you (and also the whole soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal)

the genius of @andrewprahlow cannot be overstated open.spotify.com/track/1ZwS5YCA…

I’ll never forget the first time I saw you, Traveler 😍💖💞💓💘💙💜
