Game dev is really just you saying “Man I love video games SO much that I think it’d be sick if I played them 10x less than I want to”

My upcoming newsletter is gonna tackle 💔OVERCOMING REJECTION💔 I'll talk about the 'wHy!?' 'BUT I HAD AN IN!!'' and the 'URGH NOW WHAT!?' Heres a quick sneak peak, dont forget to ✨sign up!✨ nehapatelaudio.com/newslettersignup
# Overcoming Rejection

So… you didnt’get ge the gig you applied for. The one you dreamt about your whole life, or the one that seemed perfectly timed for your current needs. Or even the one where you had a bunch of people internally recommending you! That sucks.  And it’s probably not a one time thing. how do you deal with ~~occasional~~  constant rejection? Im going to divide up the types of rejections in categories so let’s get started!

Level 1: The anonymous application
Level 2: The solid application
Level 3: The eggs in my basket application
Level 4: Dealing with it

Sometimes game design is just staring at a paper for 8 hours hoping the solution materializes before you

Video games often have floating platforms, but they don’t explain why the platforms are floating. That’s where game writers come in, to say that platforms are kept aloft by “ghostium” an invisible fog created by the souls of every dead person

Friends! Please buy this Froggo! I desperately want it, and if it doesn't hit the required 200 sales to go into production, I think I might die! It has a cute lil butt, if that convinces anyone!

Overwatch 2 has felt like Blizzard trying desperately to rein in player expression, to the point where even its most interesting heroes have lost some of their identity. If Blizzard wants to bring people back, it's gotta let go of the leash, which it seems to finally be doing with Perks and Stadium.

Blizzard is bringing some major changes to the hero shooter in 2025, and they might just be crazy enough to work

Hi Steve! Is this a case of having the option to tone down/turn off graphical effects on abilities? What extra steps could be taken to help with this? :) I would love to hear your thoughts!

I loved Crow Country btw -- I Highly recommend it!

Fizzletwist @fizzletwist.bsky.social · 30/12/2024
Finished Crow Country! It's a really cool game, but I am curious why the monster placement didn't hit for me the same way it does in RE1. Every enemy position in RE1 feels so deliberate, but I don't get that feel from Crow Country. The wide areas make the enemy positions feel sporadic.

I think I’ve said this boringly in interviews, but one of the perks of working on existing IP is that you get to study a set of creative choices. I know TRON better than I’ll probably ever know any creative work by another person. That study is rewarding, and finding ways to adapt the essence? 👨‍🍳😘

I Am Your Beast is such an adrenaline shot of a game -- god damn! I went to the gym after finishing it and had the best run of my life! One day, I wanna make something with that level of gameplay flow...

Sometimes, you are on a project and you wish you had been on the project a year earlier. Then you realise you were on the project a year earlier... No one to blame at that point.

Whereas in Veilguard, the companions are all individuals who operate outside of the social rules in the world. All of them have some degree of authority over their own lives and are raised to the status of "intrinsically special". Stonesong, demonic possession or being top of their academic field.

It's like... in Origins, it feels like the characters are in constant struggle with the social systems of the world. Alistair - being king in waiting and Grey Warden. Leliana - being a Orlesian spy and a chantry sister. Morrigan - seemingly free but ultimately bends to the whims of her mother.

Been thinking a lot about how DA:Origins and DA:Veilguard handle their world-building. Not sure how to else to describe this other than: Origin's world-building feels more like Game of Thrones. Veilguard's world-building feels more like D&D. Not a criticism. Just a gut feeling somehow.
