DragonTypeWyvern, do games w Obituary: Legacy of Kain writer Jim Curry has died

I remember Gex even though I never played it and no one else did either so I don’t know if that makes him good at marketing or not.

What does this have to do with live service?

Rumbleverse did not go well for them.

falidorn,

I must be super behind the times. All I knew about Iron Galaxy was ports, Killer Instinct, and Divekick.

They do a lot of support work, but now and then they get out a project of their own. Rumbleverse was well regarded by its audience, but it was also like the 90th battle royale to come out, and it never stood a chance.

zipzoopaboop,

Borderlands handsome collection was fantastic. Hope they pull though

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Iron Galaxy was semi-unique in that they basically existed as the company you go to when you need to contract out some support work. Think Bluepoint but the idea is that the end customer never realizes that this wasn’t made by a time traveling Rare from the 00s or whatever. Whereas they basically just stay afloat from a constant stream of low-medium price deals.

The leadership are dipshits and have made it a point to show it many times over the years (and Giant Bomb/Jeff Gerstmann have always done a great job of covering for them…) but it was a solid company that was pretty loved in the area and the industry (leadership aside).

So for IG to be going under is a REALLY bad sign for the health of the industry as a whole. Because this wasn’t “Hey, we have an excellent track record of new IPs and always release our games on time and under budget”. It is “Hey, we have an excellent track record of letting you sell more copies of a sure thing”.

Veticia, do gaming w Analyst: Windows on Arm is not ready for the complexities of the PC gaming landscape

Microsoft convinced hardware manufacturers to support UEFI and TPM overnight. If they just said next Windows is going to be ARM only software manufacturers would have to follow.

SouthFresh, do games w Embracer rolls out new AI policy to 'massively enhance game development' | Game Developer
@SouthFresh@lemmy.ml avatar

Like their changes to Campfire Cabal, Volition, and Radical Designs have massively enhanced game development?

Hello Games.

Katana314, do games w Thunderful says SteamWorld Build underperformed, reveals it's looking to sell Headup

I enjoyed what I played of it, but…ran into a game-breaking bug. Not sure what else to say. They’re probably right that if city builders are best on mouse, you can’t easily enjoy that on Switch.

jballs, do games w Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperforming
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

I played it a lot at launch. Frankly it’s just boring after a while. There’s only something like 6 or 7 missions. You get no rewards for completing missions except for random achievements and cash, which is pretty useless overall.

Klanky, do games w Replacing the term "Metroidvania"
@Klanky@sopuli.xyz avatar

I’ve never understood the term Metroidvania, and at this point, I’m afraid to ask.

BudgieMania,

You are walking and see a very high place, that you can't reach with your basic jump, so you decide to continue on your way.
Eventually, you get the power of flight. Your mind goes back to that high place, "oh shit, now I can get there and see what's in that place!".
Multiply that several times, with several paths, with different powers/gadgets/abilities/whatever, and that's Metroidvania.

The nature of the obstacles and the tools that unlock those obstacles doesn't matter, if the world is structured around blocked paths and tools that unlock them in non-linear ways, that's Metroidvania or at least Metroidvania-adjacent.
