I keep seeing arguments for games being expensive due to hyper realistic expectations for art, or simply lots of art. What I don’t see is the actual most costly reason: Indecision Iteration is good, but the yearly rebuilding of entire characters, storylines, and levels, is the most expensive thing

Vince was an incredible force for good in our industry. I will never forget the time he made for us as individuals, myself included. He will be dearly missed. I can’t believe he’s gone.

Unfortunately, something I experienced after we launched Jedi. 😂 On my mind because of a more recent release. Criticism is great, essential even. Just be specific, and preferably understanding of the process of creating something in a collaborative setting.

FFVII Rebirth - If using headphones, turn off 3D Audio in the PS5 system settings - Music to 5 or 6 - SFX to 7 or 8 It isn’t perfect, but you’ll hear dialogue “most” of the time. (Shoutout to @kylemcprops.bsky.social for the starting values!)

I always think of my grandma coming out of the holidays. I grew up with her. She saw how interested I was in her baking and would let me “help”, mostly just forming cookies and crisscrossing them with a fork. Still, so much of me today is her. I miss her a lot.

I live in a dingbat apartment in the Westside of LA. The walls are unfortunately paper thin, so WFH can be stressful at times. But then there’s today, 62°, partly cloudy skies from the rain this past week, walking to my local coffee shop to buy freshly roasted beans, and I am home.
