Important context for whatever he has to say, between the rants about teh woke gaem jernalizm and cancel culture, and being called out as an edgy harassing asshole by his own employees.
I guess there are some cultures, especially work cultures and those enforcing them, that I don’t mind being “cancelled”, if only it worked.
Does it though? I feel like there’s a difference between chatting with your mates and posting stuff aimed at your customers - especially things that might drive them to take actions that will affect your bottom line.
I loved the Ori games and No Rest for the Wicked was shaping up to be a great game. Hoping my refund request to Steam wallet goes through; 67 hours played. I included in my refund request that I want to take that money and use it to support a studio that isn’t run by an asshole (but worded gooder).
It was an obvious content bait piece, and it worked. Got shared everywhere, people kept saying “no the game is actually amazing now guys trust me buy three copies” and all it took was a Discord message, way cheaper than hiring a link building service or outreach campaign.
Well that sucks. I was really liking this game but I’m not supporting trash people with my money. Sucks for the developers working there. Refund requested and review with reasoning posted.
I was unaware that Thomas Mahler was such a goon, bad boss, and puts out misleading press to bolster sales. I have requested a refund and will not be supporting anything he is involved in going forward.
After saying negative reviews ‘might just cause our death’ and ‘we’ve got a few months left in the oven’, No Rest for the Wicked CEO claims he never said they were in ‘immediate financial danger’ - pcgamer.com/…/after-saying-negative-reviews-might…
As someone who has had to paint mini faces before, this isn’t aweful, not great by any means but could have been much worse. They definitely need to thin their paints, probably use a smaller brush, and go slower. But in the person would painted this’ defense, faces are so hard to do well, and even harder to fix if you fuck it up.
This has got to be machine printed right? They’re no worse than Wizard’s usual minis, but yeah they always suck. The biggest problem IMO is the sculpt, they look like they’re made out of mud. I assume it has to do with the rubber they use. I don’t know, I’m way too spoiled by printing my own to consider buying something that looks this bad.
Their plastic/resin is garbage, and you’re right that the sculpts are flawed, especially in the finder details. I bet if they tried this in metal it would have worked out better.
The only one that actually looks bad is the one at the top of the article. The others look fine.
The one of the red woman (I haven’t played the game so no idea who is who, edit: karlach, the tiefling) looks like it might be bad, but the pictures are also terrible so it’s impossible to say.
(Judero is actually an amazing game and a work of art. Go play it, if you like the idea of a game made fully in clay + spare pieces laying around the creator’s house)
If not for this, I would've chalked this up to the designs being abstract enough that it'd be feasible for two separate artists to have come up with them independently. The fact that he was following the artist is a bit damning.
It's a shame, because he's a fantastic artist, himself, but this is definitely going to soil his reputation, and probably calls into question some of his earlier pieces, as well.
That’s what I don’t get. Presumably there is some lore behind this game (unless they really are that lazy) so why don’t they just use one of the companies that they definitely have for the game
If you think that’s “abstract enough”, I’m guessing you’re either a plagiarist or an “AI artist”. Or do you want to admit that you didn’t really look at the comparison images?
More pics are coming out. One of them has the artist’s handle in it. Original art is the yellow to the right. Whoever added it to the game intentionally smudged the name, but left enough of it to be readabale.
