William Pugh, co-designer of The Stanley Parable, has over 1,600 hours in Dota 2: ‘It’s not a game made of love. It’s a game fuelled by hate and a desire to conquer’

William Pugh began his journey in PC gaming with shareware titles on Mac and has fond memories of playing Worms 4: Mayhem, which introduced him to online multiplayer. He later engaged with the Source engine mapping community through Team Fortress 2, where he collaborated with Davey Wreden to create The Stanley Parable. Currently, he is working on a project with Crows Crows Crows and producing the PS5 exclusive Hunter's Moon. Pugh is playing Deadlock, describing it as an improved version of Dota 2, which he has played for 1,603 hours but finds frustrating. He will never uninstall Team Fortress 2 and relies on Blender for non-gaming software, praising its open-source nature. His desktop is chaotic, reflecting his creative style, and he humorously keeps all his files since 2005 on physical hard drives.

After 12 years, Dark Souls 2 is finally playable in co-op without interruptions

Yui, a modder, has released an alpha version of a mod called Dark Souls 2: Seamless Co-op, which allows players to team up with up to five others without interruptions from fog walls. The mod enables a full playthrough from the tutorial to the final boss in one co-op session, with synchronized progression and respawning at the last bonfire after dying. Unique items like "Pharros' Heliograph" and "Petrified Fingers" have been added to maintain some of the game's traditional challenge. Yui is actively supporting the mod and addressing performance issues, particularly for players using Intel processors.
