sony already cancelled like 5 in development live service games now since concord bombed? Certainly a lesson that is hard to learn.

another one in the same space: https://helixnotes.com/

I wonder if the dutch have a plan to evacuate the whole country in say, a year time, in case walling the seas no longer feasible? Not in an emergency scenario but more like "it doe…

it does show up. Just like star wars, the toys and figurines and sometimes it even spread into the VAs, authors and other artists adjacent to the projects.

There's also LDtk. By the director of Dead Cells. https://ldtk.io/

yes it has

Nope.. maybe. Valve now requires anti cheat to be present on the store page. Highlighted in yellow along with EULAs and 3rd party login. Apex Legends did not have kernel level anti…

I dont understand why meta didnt pair up with vrchat/gamedev/game engine dev at the time. Sure they got John Carmack, but their presentation is so much worse. Its so hard not to dr…

Its mature and battle tested at this point. At least for 2D web games. The original/early version of Vampire Survivors is in Phaser if I'm not mistaken. Remade in Unity to make con…

That's why they should hire someone else to do the leg work (That's what they used to do anyway). There isn't exactly a lot of unique things in Portal 2 compared to the original bu…

I wished they hire the Arkane team that got laid off. Put them to work on a new single player ip and let Victor Antonov add some of his design into it. They dont have to do anythin…

I used to think so but my current android has terrible heat management. Maybe bad battery or I may have doomscrolling for too long. The battery got bloated without me noticing it.

Paper's Please as well. Blows my mind that what look like a mundane puzzle game can evoke such a strong feelings in me. And that was the beta build of the game, barely any storylin…

Pretty sure overwatch got millions in its hey day. Not to mention call of duty, counter strike and the many clones of COD/CS. Though I'm not sure if the likes of Free Fire concern …

They are but there's only so many talents to go around at that level. Specifically talents with the institutional knowledge.

isn't part of Pixar decline was because their talents were "poached" by Disney? Its around the time that Disney in-house team transition to 3D as well. (poached probably not the ri…

hah, thanks for the game. It was definitely an interesting and fun experience. Unfortunately I've to stop because my obssesive side took over. I practically check the game every ho…

Merry x-mas, hn. Some of you might not celebrate it but that just means I'll have to eat your share of cakes \(^_^)/

how about xcom.ufo? It looks wrong in lowercase.

Did you mean X-COM, the 1994 turn based game? Or XCOM, the 2012 reboot of the same game? I jest but those Firaxis guys must be eager to do something about this whole thing before t…

And who could forget their 2010 masterpiece, Alien Swarm. To this day I believe they only created it as an exercise. It's also free. https://store.steampowered.com/app/630/Alien_Sw…

Same thing with Dead Cells and Slay the Spire. Many similar games but very few of them managed to imitate the delicate balance of carrot and stick.

I imagine you will see similar things with Icefrog, in their tenure as the custodian of DotA map in Warcraft 3. Balancing a competitive game is something that even Blizzard struggl…

Off the top of my head, dutch and british corporation colonize a lot of lands for hundreds of years. I don't think they left the place much better than when they came.

True, you pay them instead of Godot. Unless your third party company is w4games, then you're just paying godot with extra steps.
