👻 Phasmophobia’s “Nell’s Diner” Map Hints at the Game’s Promising Future The co-op horror hit Phasmophobia is expanding once again — this time with a new map called Nell’s Diner, a compact yet atmospheric location that deepens the game’s eerie charm. This update marks an evolution in how the developer approaches live-service content: smaller, more frequent updates instead of infrequent major expansions. It’s a strategic move that keeps gameplay fresh while maintaining engagement across its loyal community. For studios managing long-term multiplayer projects, Phasmophobia’s model demonstrates how consistent, quality-driven updates can outperform large, sporadic releases in maintaining momentum. 👉 Do you think frequent smaller updates are the key to long-term success in live-service games? #GamingNews #Phasmophobia #KineticGames #HorrorGames #LiveService #GameUpdates #PlayerEngagement

TokenMinds has built an AI-driven personalization system for games. We’ve developed two main SDKs that shape every session: - QuestPilot:  in charge of selecting the right quest using player telemetry, language, and difficulty tags from a developer-approved pool. - QuestForge:  in charge of adapting NPC tone and dialogue to each player’s style, including natural local language delivery. Both AI agents work together to create personalized gameplay. They keep full studio control while making every quest and conversation feel unique. See the full breakdown on how it was built here: https://lnkd.in/gYMgXgpB

🎮 Tips for Improving Multiplayer Game Performance with Photon Fusion Experiencing lag and jitter in real-time multiplayer games can be frustrating, especially during physics-based gameplay. Here are some optimizations that proved effective in my Fusion project: 1️⃣ Properly Implement Prediction & Reconciliation Allow clients to predict local movements while Fusion handles server corrections. This approach maintains responsiveness without abrupt object teleportation. 2️⃣ Assign Network Authority Appropriately Grant authority where necessary (e.g., players control their cars, server controls the ball) to minimize unnecessary synchronization traffic and enhance accuracy. 3️⃣ Ensure Smooth Position Updates Utilize Fusion’s NetworkTransform feature with interpolation enabled to smoothly blend updates between ticks, preventing object snapping or stuttering. 4️⃣ Optimize Tick Rate & Network Settings Maintain a balanced tick rate in consideration of device performance and ping. A rate that is too high may lead to packet loss, while one that is too low can result in sluggish gameplay. 💡 Bonus Tip: Test Under Real Network Conditions Conduct tests under various network scenarios such as Wi-Fi, mobile data, and high-latency environments. Real-world testing reveals synchronization issues that may not be apparent in the development environment. #Unity3D #PhotonFusion #MultiplayerGames #GameDevelopment #Networking #UnityDeveloper #IndieDev #TusharMevada

Battlefield 6 has introduced a mode called Casual Breakthrough designed to allow players a more relaxed gameplay experience while still earning progression and completing challenges. In this mode, players experience combat in smaller teams of 16 real players and 32 bots, engaging on maps like Siege of Cairo and Empire State. The mode allows for full XP earnings from actions involving real players and reduced XP from bot interactions. The development team seeks community feedback to refine this game mode further. #Gaming #ConsoleGaming #GameDevelopment https://lnkd.in/gtvMXiC6
