When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

Today marks my 28th birthday, but this week will also be my final week at Gravity Well! It's been an amazing 3.5-year run, and I feel more than privileged that I was able to fully unleash my art and help build a new world/IP!

"they will have through December to impress executives with their next milestone" It still baffles me to read that kind of nonsense... They should try to listen to the players once in a while, they're the ones to impress, not the freaking execs who barely understands the essence of video games.

Baldi is one of the best concept artist of this industry and I'm feeling really priviledged that I was able to work with him for years, any team would be more than lucky to hire his talents!

Id switching to Unreal on top of laying off most of the team is some of the most short sighted stupid decision a tech CEO took recently. Id makes shooter, Id's Engine s'been here for decades to build shooters Microsoft wants to make Shooters. Sharma is not even a clown, she's the all circus. 🤡

We should just follow the same rules: if a game isn't commercially available for 36 months, it's abandonware.

Yeah like I don't know if this is something Valve kept on doing or not but it rules as an approach imo... More or less bank placeholder hallway full of notes, where as chunks of real game come in you transition into those and back into the hallway. Gives coherency early on when you need it

Bring back CEOs who came up from the dev trenches. These MBA types have no clue what hard work is… We need an episode of undercover boss where the “disrespected” CEO actually has to work in QA or Dev. Forced to crunch to make content till ship. Or no CEO bonus. I wonder how many would make it?
