You could code the best tech and systems within the timeframe of the project and that would in no way guarantee at the end you have a good game.

The game dev industry should hire this guy, he has innovative ideas πŸ˜€.

I kid, but I have seen many software engineers outside the industry that don't understand that the process is very different even though you're writing code in both.

The requirements are inherently different.

Get more from Mike Kasprzak on Patreon creating Ludum Dare, videos, and more

The fantastic game jam @ludumdare.com is sadly not running any events in 2025 as host Mike Kasprzak is struggling financially.

While Mike isn't specifically asking for donations, he does have a Patreon which helps cover the jam's expenses.

Perhaps we can help? www.patreon.com/c/mikekasprz...

My journey with Relic has come to an end, had the opportunity to work on the company of heroes franchise which has always been one of my favorite games.

However now its time for a new adventure, where I'll be working on the new battlefield πŸ˜€.

So having the expectation that other developers will/should follow what Larian did is, in my opinion, unreasonable

Every gamer in the world (including me) is happy they did it but from the developer side of things it's a risky endeavour.

I think Baldur's Gate 3 is a great achievement, however you're missing the piece that had BG3 not succeeded it would have tanked the company, it's a huge risk for any company to attempt a game of that scale.

Not only that but the game was possible due to using previous games as stepping stones.

Wasn't aware of this until recently but actually looks pretty awesome.

Could be that I'm just starving for good Lord of the rings content.

I'm a senior gameplay designer at Relic Entertainment, I worked on Company Of Heroes 3 but also working on some side projects.

I also like writing about random game design topics so you might see me share some here πŸ˜„.
