I NEED to know how the level designer was for Outpost for Bungies new Marathon.
Seriously, its a work of art
How. Just... how?
Social media has given me this problem where I believe my takes are worth wildly more than they actually are
tried Marathon; It's a beautiful game. Gunplay is typical-Bungie-amazing, iconic and innovative visuals. UI is great, UX could use some polish. The biggest problem?
It's an extraction shooter... Give me all the classic halo multiplayer modes in Marathon and its an INSTANT buy
As much as we want disclosure, we want the release of the Epstein files first
Alien vs Predator; the predator takes priority on this one ⚖️
"Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)..." - President Donald J. Trump
For my first game, I had 0 experience, 0 skill, and $0 budget, and yet it felt painfully obvious to me that I had to find uninvested strangers, outside my target audience, to test my game
The blindfold that a well funded game puts on developers needs to be studied by science

While we are not happy about Ashes of Creation flopping, we should take the time to drive this point home:
Stop paying for the promise of a game
If you want the industry to drop live service slop and early access scams, you need to vote with your wallet
Hey so you guys remember how you defended this scam with “it’s in alpha bro you can’t judge it yet”?
Well alpha isn’t a launch. Give people their money back
⚠️Ashes of Creation's Kickstarter, which raised over $3M, states that backers would be refunded if the game didn't launch
However as the game "launched" in Early Access in December many are assuming that no longer applies
Game dev here-
The day AI can make a full game front to back, that is indistinguishable from a humans work, will come precisely 1 week after the Robot Water Wars
AI makes up fake functions sometimes when I ask it simple blueprint questions.
Your investments are safe…
Video game stocks are suddenly crashing today with the launch of Google's Project Genie as investors think games will start getting made with AI

While I still believe Steam is the biggest because they do it the best, I will say their 30% revenue cut for distribution is insane (especially since it doesn’t scale for indies/volume)
It’s possible for a company to make a great product but be disgustingly greedy too
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is
"the only major store still holding onto payment ties and a 30% junk fee."
Think they really messed up announcing an apex adjacent game at TGA (general population), then releasing with the least Apex game mode possible. It’s neat, but they should have taken the Deadlock method. Low and slow, let the target audience find you

Scuttle Up didn't win Indie GoTY, so I'm giving everyone the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE that @Steam will let me during the Steam Winter Sale! Run sideways to the store page and add it to your collection while it's hot!

Expedition 33 is such an inspiring story for an independent creator such as myself. It shows that success is available to the little guys like us. I just need to be a high ranking individual at one of the biggest companies in the industry & have a family of multimillionaire CEOs
