    PAX Unplugged recap thread! It was an amazing con as it is every year. Got to see some familiar faces, met some new friends, worked at the Flatout booth, sold games at the Indie Games Night Market, pitched to publishers, and got to tell everyone about my new game, HONEYPOT!

    I am 100% with Beth on this. Illustration & Game Design have their differences, but both impact a game's success. Illustrators not sharing in that, especially for games with long-term success, is not fair or equitable. I was very happy when Flatout Games added royalties to Beth's contracts.

    Definitely going to make me *much* more hesitant over any AEG board game, but you can pry the Flatout Games that they distribute (particularly the Calico and Cascadia families) from my cold, dead fingers. But hope the Flatout folks see how little respect their publisher's COO has for designers.

    Virtua Racing - FlatOut - for the Playstation 2. It's not a bad racing game, but it's a lousy Virtua Racing. Still kinda neat to poke around in, race all the tracks, unlock the secret cars... Not sure what they were thinking with that map of the final track. What a mess. #retrogaming #sega

    PS@ Virtua Racing FLATOUT is an interesting... remake? sequel? It's not a port of the Virtua Racing arcade game like Genesis or 32X (yes 32X has extra cars/extra tracks). It's a LITTLE like the Time Warner Interactive's VR Virtua Racing for Saturn. 🧵 #virtuaracing #videogames #racinggames #sega

Wreckfest Wreckfest is a newer game on this list but it definitely echoes racing games of yesteryear - namely FlatOut and Destruction Derby. this is a very tasty driving game with silky smooth handling and a wide variety of game modes. you can race on a circuit, or demo derby some lawnmowers 😆

    The Flatout series kinda stopped after that PSP version.
