My personal ranking of all #guildwars2 maps. Each of the S-tier maps has some of my favorite gaming experiences - from finding my first jumping puzzles in Old LA to commanding over 50 random players to defeat a huge world boss in Dragon's End.
Thanks for the template @lara_irl !

My favorite TV show. Lots of references to it in my games (there's even a Smokey ball trail in Ballhalla), and quite a big inspiration for our next project.

Here's how we used @fmodstudio to make some of the systems that earned #CityOfBeats three nominations at the G.A.N.G awards this year; if you're interested in adaptive music, rhythm-driven gameplay or context sentitive harmony then have a look!

Play the demo and get some crabling hook action. Short and crunchy 🦀 either bash your head in or have fun trying.

In this action roguelike rhythm game by @torchedhill and @freedomgamesgg, you'll have to adapt and survive in a world that moves and exists through beats! Check out what our writer had to say about his time with this colourful title here at GameGrin. — bit.ly/3WSVzZO
