I posted this last time the trailer was posted. I am in the UK indie dev scene, and heard about this stuff before it went public ( at least some of it.)
Essentially an employee of Failbetter Olivia Wood, came out and admitted they’d been in a relationship with Kennedy that had been kept secret when hired. You can argue that this was a bad arrangement, but the trouble here is Kennedy held all the power and used this to his advantage. Kennedy then dumped Wood for another employee Lottie Bevan and lied about it to Failbetter; he was Lottie’s Manager. He started becoming increasingly abusive to Wood. Threatening people in the studio who picked up on it while keeping others ( some people are fully remote) in the dark.
Other women in the industry spoke out about it including Emily Short, who at the time was a freelancer for Failbetter. Stopped working with them for a long while ( you can see why in her tweets) and then joined them more recently. twitter.com/emshort/status/1166807338336051208?la…
There’s also the weirdass PC GamesN article Kennedy and Lottie Bevan the other FB employee ( and other Weather Factory employee) did about their relationship before this stuff came out. Even if you don’t want to look through various rebuttals, I think it’s really odd. pcgamesn.com/…/sunless-sea-lottie-bevan-alexis-ke…
As has been said none of AK’s legal threats went anywhere, and with current social media disintegrating it’s a hard thing to follow. Obviously, make up your own mind with this. But it’s more than a he/she said situation.
“This is a third person, roguelike shooter. Every time you start a new single player campaign, everything changes. The locations change, the missions change, the characters change, the bosses change, and most of all, the story changes. Characters who you trusted before, may turn against you. Enemies who tried to kill you, may end up helping you. Simple missions can turn into deadly traps. No two campaigns are the same.”
If they pull that off cleanly this game will actually be so amazing
Looks amazing and I don’t know it for a fact but it feels like the devs takes the time to perfect the game and it will come out polished… Of course this just my feeling
Marble Blast Ultra was my shit. Freshman year of college my roommate and I would smoke a bowl and play that game for hours. So much fun. Downloading now.
looks like more of the same, but new weapons and spells. I hope they fix the problems from the first one such as the flakey ladders and dismal map UI. also, the character designs from the cutscenes are notably different from the in game ones. doesn’t inspire confidence.
Think the original campaign was kinda flawed/janky but they do include a remastered version of it along with a new campaign. So I would say it’s worth a look.
OK, been playing it, would definitely recommend. It's pretty simple, but it's fun and if you played it as part of your childhood, it doesn't disappoint.
