In the early days of GTA1 development, the driving just wasn’t fun. Then Pat Kerr, who is handy with physics but wasn’t even on the team, dropped in some driving code that fixed it. He’s now published a playable demo using those same ideas. It’s remarkable how much it feels like GTA1β€”especially the handbrake (space). patkerr.co.uk/2d-vehicles/

EXCLUSIVE: @jackboxgames and @Rebellion are showing how veteran studios can build for sustainability without chasing growth at any cost. Both studios have avoided significant layoffs for years by taking a disciplined approach to growth, budgets and project selection. Jackbox has built a durable business around its Party Packs and back catalog, while Rebellion has kept game budgets controlled and resisted expanding beyond what its franchises can support. Their approaches point to a broader lesson for the industry: sustainable growth does not necessarily mean making more games or hiring more people. @rachelkaser spoke to @MikeBilder, CEO of Jackbox Games, and @RebellionJason, co-founder and CEO of Rebellion Developments, about their approaches to sustainable growth and avoiding layoffs. β€œWe make games that sell, and we’ve got to make controlled-budget games that sell sufficient to make more than their budget,” said Kingsley.
