Sad news. Boston City Hall was one of my big references for the Oldest House, you can see its inspiration in the waffle ceiling designs amongst other things.
R.I.P. Michael McKinnell, co-designer of the Boston City Hall, our beloved ULTIMATE MONSTER. He was 84 and died of pneumonia, tested COVID-19 positive according to the @BostonGlobe: bit.ly/2JqOuLq Pic: Ernst Halberstadt/U.S. National Archives(CCBY2.0) #SOSBrutalism

Not long until Foundarion releases, it's looking good too, the team have done a great job...
Helen Marshall may have answers to what's going on in the depths of the Oldest House. Jesse must travel through the caverns of the Foundation to stop an oncoming disaster. 📺 Watch The Foundation expansion trailer for @ControlRemedy in 4K: bit.ly/2WoBNYS

Thanks to Ewan for the chance to talk about the considered patterning and our Kubrick references
I had such a blast writing this one: On the hypnotic power of patterns and how the carpet from Kubrick's The Shining is invading video games. Huge thanks to @rostovjanka @studioZAUM @ControlRemedy @StuartMacArt for talking to me about wallpaper n' stuff! theface.com/life/stanley-kub…

Huge congratulations to our amazing vfx team, they did an outstanding job. From helping bring life to the Oldest House with its shifting and twisting, to the fluid Hiss effect to the comprehensive destruction it was a fantastic range of work to bring the game to life

Nice, thanks PC Gamer. Deciding to set an entire open layout game world in one location was a real challenge, and internally too ( no sightlines/vistas for navigation). Happy it turned out well and people loved it. #controlremedy #pcgamer
