After more than 40 Million votes, we're delighted that Baldur's Gate 3 has won Game of the Year AND Outstanding Story-Rich Game in this year's Steam Awards. Thank you all for supporting Baldur's Gate 3 🙏🙏
We are sad to announce the passing of Jim Southworth, our Cinematic Animation lead.
Jim cared deeply about his team, and the results shone through in their work. He loved making games, and we loved making them with him. We're all going to miss him.

is a class act. His Halsin is both a favorite for fans and the team at Larian. ♥️ every line is performed with skill, depth and emotion.
Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios plans to move away from Dungeons & Dragons entirely and do something new, founder Swen Vincke said at the Game Developers Conference, leaving the IP in Wizards of the Coast's hands.
Narrowly surpassing Disco Elysium and with 26 critic reviews at the time of posting, Baldur's Gate 3 is officially the highest rated PC game on Metacritic with a score of 97.

bringing this safely back from GANG Award at
#GDC2024
in San Francisco to the UK. Will get this in your hands asap. Congratulations on a much deserved award!
This is a big role with a massive impact on our future success. You should apply; our team is incredibly talented and nice, and I'm pretty okay (at least my dog likes me).
The last few weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster for me. A kind message from a colleague game composer made me realize something - we are witnessing a true renaissance of video game music. More than ever VGM is being recognized as an art in its own right. Symphonic game
Instead of making Baldur's Gate 4, Larian is working on 2 new projects based on its own IPs, and CEO Swen Vincke reckons it'll result in the studio's 'best work ever'.
The Performer in a Supporting Role nominees are...

Thanks for a good time, Larian!
I was drawing characters during enemy turns in the final battles of my 2nd run of the game, and one thing led to another. I've fallen in love with the whole cast. 🫶

Excellent description of the hard work done by vo and performance directors with the talented cast of BG3, by
@alionabaranova1
♥️
There were only 4 major characters and a few pickups due to technical reasons who had to have mocap recorded after the vo was complete.
1/🧵 BG3 thread alert
i’d like to clarify a few things about the dialogue recording process that went into making Baldur’s Gate 3, while i have peoples attention.
Firstly: for almost ALL the dialogue we recorded we ALSO captured the actors mocap data
Few mortals ever glimpse what you are about to see…
A never-seen-before look at Baldur’s Gate 3 and the adventure that awaits you in Faerûn.

My kid: "Some kid called Abby (my other kid) a crybaby. So I threatened him a bit."
I imagine 'a bit' ranged from a stern look to a horse's head in a bed.
Was doing some baking today asked Jill to put in “all the oats”, at which point she said “Hall and Oats?” And then burst into a rendition of “I Can’t Go For That”
Anyway, point is my wife is perfect.
Cleaning up my backyard and discovered a spiders nest with babies in my bbq cover .... so I'm gonna need a new bbq cover... a new bbq...and a new house now.
