w. Special Guest, Daniel Kończyk (Senior VFX Artist)

Today, the studio's community team held their eighth livestream, in which Jesse faces down The Hiss in a final confrontation.

Throughout their three-hour play through, the devs talked about a range of topics, including ray-tracing, their favourite DLCs, speed running tricks, environmental destruction, audio awards, working within console limitations, soya sauce blood, and favourite bugs.


In their eighth outing, they watched Hedron crumble, embraced The Hiss, and took on the final encounter. When Daniel joined, they began the first expansion, The Foundation
