Panic has announced that Untitled Goose Game has sold over one million copies. Untitled Goose Game came out in September 2019 and was exclusive to the Epic Games Store. Unfortunately, Panic has not revealed any platform-specific sales so we don’t know how profitable the PC version was.

Wayne Dalton, Senior Environment Artist, has shared some truly amazing screenshots from his latest Unreal Engine 4 project. Alien Genesis is a real-time low-poly sci-fi interior personal project, featuring the Nostromo from the 1979 movie Alien.
Now contrary to our previous Unreal Engine 4 story, these screenshots what is feasible on current-gen hardware. In other words, don’t expect mind-blowing visuals. You should also keep in mind that this environment was created by a single person.
With these out of the way, we can definitely say that this level looks like an “Alien” environment. Dalton was able to capture the atmosphere of the movie, so kudos to him. Furthermore, this environment comes really close to what Creative Assembly achieved with Alien Isolation.

This mod introduces a “Toss a coin to your Witcher” cut-scene in The Witcher

Modder ‘hub997’ has released a pretty cool mod for the first The Witcher game. As its title suggests, this mod introduces a “Toss a coin to your Witcher” cut-scene in the game. The mod basically exchanges two cutscenes in The New Narakort and Murky Waters.
The modder has modeled on cut-scenes from the Rise of the White Wolf Enhanced Edition modification. However, and since they were a bit stiff, he added some life especially to the NPCs standing in the crowd. Furthermore, the modder synchronized Dandelion’s movements on the lute with the actual song.
>> You can get this mod from Nexus Mods.

God game The Universim enters beta with fancy new planets
https://www.pcgamer.com/god-game-the-universim-enters-beta-with-fancy-new-planets/
Crytivo has announced that god game The Universim is entering Beta alongside an update improving the scale of the game’s planets. The Universim is a hugely ambitious crowdfunded god game that seeks to create a civilization-building experience from the earliest days of neolithic life to a planets-spanning galactic civilization. The next big update for the game will take it into official beta status, and improves several aspects of the game—but focuses primarily on updating the parts of it that generate new worlds. Planets are now larger, filled with more things, and have fancier mountains. They also generate faster to boot.

You can play Toss A Coin To Your Witcher in Beat Saber now
https://www.pcgamer.com/you-can-play-toss-a-coin-to-your-witcher-in-beat-saber-now/
If you, like many nerds, have the song Toss A Coin To Your Witcher from Netflix’s Witcher TV series stuck in your head, here’s a way to get it stuck even deeper by associating it with muscle movements: It’s now in Beat Saber. And it's a natural fit, too, because just like Geralt, in Beat Saber you also have two swords and are irritated by Jaskier’s singing.

And that's all for 2019. I wish you all a great 2020. See you in the 2nd!
