Dev of cancelled Life By You game shares some information, including just two weeks notice of cancellation after being given the thumbs-up a few weeks prior (www.linkedin.com) angielski

I cannot share specific numbers, but I can say that we had an internal metric we were aiming for that had been approved, and that we exceeded that number by a significant portion. We also got a thumbs up a few weeks before launch.

Embracer treats studios like they are disposable. They killed Volition (Saint’s Row), Free Radical (TimeSpltters) plus a bunch of other studios. All of that was because their $2 billion deal with the Saudi Government fell through. Some studios managed to escape when one of the Saber Interactive original owners bought back a bunch of studios. They recently killed Pieces Interactive (Alone in the Dark).

If a studio is owned by Embracer, they are lucky if they will be around in 5 years.

  • APE OUT - You’re a gorilla that kills people before they kill you. Music, art style, and gameplay mix very well.
  • Crab Champions - You’re a crab with a gun facing waves of crabs and other stuff. Things get really insane with all the modifiers you pick up.
  • Iconoclasts - Beautiful art style from a single developer. Story hits on some heavy topics which may not be for everyone. My only complaint is he really needed a dedicated writer to clean up the story a bit.
  • Little Inferno - You burn stuff in a fireplace.
  • Party Hard - You’re just a dude that wants some sleep. So, you become a serial killer.

What are some hidden indie gems nobody knows about? angielski

Which indies did you discover and would love more people to know about? I’ll start: The Pale Beyond. Not sure if it’s a hidden gem tbh, but it’s such a good story rich game. I laughed, I cried and felt the characters struggles. If you like story rich games/ choices matter, check it out.

They released two games. The first was just a game jam thing they threw together that established the core mechanics. The second was much more fleshed out and polished.

In a statement posted to Steam, developer Shiny Shoe said […]

What a sloppy and lazy article. They don’t even bother linking to the statement from the devs. Seriously, that would have taken less then 1 minute to add.

So, his replacement is going to walk back this cluster-you-know-what, right? Right?

Could be, IDK. I’ve seen that with a regular discount and the price gets raised when a sale starts, but never with a double discount.

Perhaps someone that has published on steam could shed more light.

That looks like it. I checked one of the bundles.

Then tried adding to cart from my wishlist. It added both games, but on my wishlist it only shows the one game. That’s just really buggy, and fortunately only unintentionally deceptive instead of intentionally.

Yep it’s a bug. When I did an “Add to Cart” it added both games even though it only shows the one game on my wishlist.

I edited the post to reflect that.

Oh, he was a former CEO of EA. That explains a few things.
