Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Thinking about Satoru Iwata today, for some reason.
If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease, nd I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be ble to develop software titles that could impress people around the world.

For those who don't know Velan, it is comprised of Vicarious Visions veterans who left as Activision began to hollow that studio out and turn it into a support studio for Call of Duty. Good for them.

it turns out i did review that bond game after all! it's got a bunch of charm and excellent little moments that manage to shine through through a bland blockbuster structure. which is pretty much a direct adaptation of both the strengths and flaws of your average Bond Film:

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:
And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."

Every now and then I think about UFO 50 and am reminded that it is one of the best indie games of all time. I don't even hesitate to say that. There's no 'Except' or 'But'. It's just a stone cold classic that really deserves to be ten times as well known. And it's still relatively unknown!

warframe has been around for 13 years. players have experienced births, graduations, weddings, and funerals, as have devs. many of these moments, they’ve shared. this is the story of the unique bond digital extremes has cultivated with its community—and what happens when people occasionally overstep
"A lot of things that don't fit neatly in the box of another department just sort of land on our desk,” senior community manager Zach McKone told Aftermath. “We receive graduation letters and wedding invites and everything [from dedicated players]. I think that's definitely a pillar of what we want to ensure community is strong on: that every individual feels like they are heard. Especially if the community is like 'We want a memory in-game of this person,' we do what we can to immortalize them."
There are pros and cons to this approach: Warframe’s community is as dedicated as they come, an asset no amount of money or hubristic determination can bludgeon into existence, as the recent trend of live-service games dropping like flies has shown us. But try as they might, Warframe’s developers aren’t capable of satisfying everyone; you can only reply to so many letters, and you probably shouldn’t attend all that many players’ weddings (though it has happened on rare occasions). You can only be confronted by so much death. And if you give some people an inch—especially in spaces where they feel like they’re supposed to be catered to—they’ll do their damndest to take a mile. 
Still, despite growing pains and a few truly harrowing encounters, Warframe’s developers are proud of the path they’ve picked.
"We don't claim to have some mission statement,” Ford told Aftermath. “We don't claim to have answers to everything. But it's like, yeah, it would be fine [for everyone] to be a little more human."

Try a couple decades of shitty emails ranging from simple insults all the way up to death threats from idiot fanboys who can't handle you giving a game "only" 8/10 and see which one puts more calluses on your soul, dummy. You'd fold in six months or less.
