To see our game featured at this year’s State of Play, alongside so many other titles is a genuinely surreal moment for us. We’re so proud of our team who got us here. Thank you to everyone who kept believing in us, and our vision of #thelostwild
The Lost Wild is coming to PS5 and PC in 2027. True fear is primal.

Very informative afternoon testing #magiclinesapp with Tony who has Parkinsins disease. Very interesting learning about individual coping techniques and how we can incorporate these to help build a better product. @magiclinesapp @magicleap #AugmentedReality #XR #Parkinsons

A realistic picture of the human condition should compare the imperfect present with a much more imperfect past (rather than with an imagined utopia in the future) and acknowledge the progress that humanity has already made. buff.ly/2GPYT3j

“What is civilisation? I don’t know. I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognise it when I see it.” Turning to Notre Dame, Clarke added: “And I’m looking at it now.”

Blockchains are Western values made software. Mathematically provable and inviolable property rights, anonymity, freedom of expression, freedom from unreasonable search… Software is eating political philosophy.

I've been brainstorming quirky but useful startup metrics. One that feels interesting is ARR/KLOC (Annual Recurring Revenue / 1K Lines Of Code). The more you can sell w/o overbuilding, the better. Thoughts? (Also, it's a fun metric because it makes me think of a pirate clock.)
