Neverway doesn't want to be Stardew Valley. Instead, @coldbloodinc.studio is taking the Larian approach by "doing something as weird and deep as possible for people that absolutely love the genre" #Neverway #IndieGames #GamingNews www.pcgamesn.com/neverway/dem...

Neverway doesn't want to be Stardew Valley. Instead, the devs are going as "weird as possible," Larian-style
As the 'cozy horror game' genre continues to expand, Neverway's devs aren't playing it safe: they're embracing the weird, even if it's scary.

before signing with @outersloth.com, i tell devs to reach out to teams we've worked with so they get a sense of what it's actually like to be with us!! whoever u sign with, check with others! most are more than happy to chat (and don't just talk to the most successful games under the label either.)

One thing I started noticing recently is that competent engineers give up their credibility due to AI. Twice already highly competent engineers I respect sent a PR that turned out to have very subtle issues. These issues would not be possible if a human understood it.

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?

I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.

Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.

It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.
