If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

The game is only like 10 hours long btw. It's okay to have AAA games be that length.

I actually really liked the Nimona film. The graphic novel is phenomenal, but I liked the way the film expanded the world and the voice performances were really great.

I really liked the demos for Phonopolis, Titanium Court, and People of Note.

Also I just started playing The Seance of Blake Manor and it really is as fun as everybody says.

Just trying to follow the advice "if you like something, let people know."

Hi, AAA dev here. This is a sucky take and I wish people would stop pitting gamedevs against each other.

I used to give it like 50-100 pages, depending on the length of the book, but these days I DNF things for absolutely random mood-related reasons and it can happen as soon as page 1 even if someone recommended it lol

"Regardless of my opinion, I can’t help but be impressed by the process that brought this into existence."

Can you really not help it? Because it was easy as hell for me to do

The thesis seems to be that because this man made a lot of money, that gives his use of genAI & stereotypes merit

"When asked about the lack of diversity, Ruggeri pointed out that these are the stereotypes presented in anime, especially isekai, and that’s what he wanted to show in the book. β€œI take what Japan and its culture offer, and I bring it into the game,” he said."

Gates of Krystalia showed me the future of TTRPGs β€” and it's scary Tabletop game design is evolving

This article is truly irresponsible and I'm so tired

INCORRECT

loyalty missions & actually being able to romance Garrus will always make ME2 superior in my heart

There are occasional perks for being part of a larger ecosystem of studios (shared tools, resources like cultural consultants & localization) but yeah on the whole it fucking sucks and nobody should do it

I've also never been that obsessed with creative control over my writing, I guess? Like if someone wants to adapt something I've made, I want it to be theirs. I want to see their interpretation. If I wanted complete creative control I wouldn't be a gamedev!
