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.

JackbyDev,

This would destroy me if this happened to me. The publisher thinks lowly enough of the team and product that they won’t launch it, but not so lowly that they don’t release the IP (perhaps even at a price) to the developers.

JackbyDev,

I love ACNH’s style where people are cartoony, but furniture is more detailed.

JackbyDev,

ES6 will have a voiced main character.

JackbyDev,

Idk, having only played Oblivion and Skyrim, I feel like (generally speaking) the simplifications in Skyrim were for the better. Take custom spells for example. Only a few spells really even made sense to make and it was better to make them in very specific ways. It’s not like the games are super difficult. Fucking around with spells and more complex enchantments was cool but too easy to cheese.

Oh, and the leveling. Holy fuck what an over complicated mess. Where you could accidentally over level but also under level. Insane. Good riddance.

Complex systems are not inherently good. They’re good if they provide meaningful choices and are fun to use. But ES has always been about the story and exploration more so anyways (in my opinion).

JackbyDev,

I don’t think the announcement implies anything. Truly. It’s just them trying to get shareholders happy about hype.

JackbyDev,

Nyaaa~ OwO

JackbyDev,

This is more like buying a used game and describing it like that would be less confusing lol

JackbyDev,

It feels weird to phrase it like this. I didn’t buy my PS4 11 years ago. I bought it 5 years ago.

JackbyDev,

PS2 definitely had online play. I never played online but my friend did.

JackbyDev,

I have replayed Half Life 2 a few times. Some parts of the game feel really goofy now. There are many physics based puzzles in game. Like needing to weigh down a see saw like platform with cinder blocks to get across a gap. I think at the time these were really revolutionary, but they feel silly now. At the same time, I’m hard pressed to think of shooters that still include that type of puzzle (but I also don’t play many shooters nowadays).

JackbyDev,

Ravenholm was terrifying! The fast zombies’ roars along with them jumping across buildings really got to me.

JackbyDev, (edited )

I seriously doubt that. Bethesda’s titles are generally some of the most moddable mainstream titles. I missed sarcasm.

JackbyDev,

Minecraft has procedural stuff but still has lots of mods.

JackbyDev,

Whoops. Chalking this up to Poe’s law

JackbyDev,

So long as this is only about the pre release and not about the game at all stages. Review embargoes are somewhat normal prior to launch.

JackbyDev,

I’ve heard that this happened with Scrubs (and possibly other TV shows) leading to the original box set of DVDs having different songs playing in the background than the streaming versions.

JackbyDev,

Your spoiler syntax is incorrect (or not working on Jerboa).

JackbyDev,

My friend works here and is not getting their contract renewed. Luckily they knew it wasn’t getting renewed but it still sucks. They’ve loved working there.

JackbyDev,

Their contract wasn’t ended as far as I know and would’ve been ending in about a month or so anyways.

JackbyDev,

My understanding is that there are performance problems too though. But I haven’t kept up with it too closely.

JackbyDev,

Not that there are many pro NFT folks here, but even with that approach it’s still just a transferrable license that they can change to be meaningless.

JackbyDev,

But once it’s out it’s out. I at least understand the logic of DRM from launch because it delays cracks, but once you’ve released without DRM it’s out there lol.

JackbyDev,

They might not be at home.

    JackbyDev,

    The PS1 even boots straight into the game, the PS2 boots into a small menu. I feel like there was a way to have it skip the menu though but I don’t remember. …But hey, you’ve got one in front of you lol.

    JackbyDev,

    Alright maybe my memory is just off. Or… maybe I’m from a parallel reality that was slightly different.

    JackbyDev,

    Encrypted passwords are still an unacceptable way to store passwords. They should be hashed.

    JackbyDev,

    emailing out credentials like this after sign up is certainly not best practice,

    Understatement of the year right here. Everyone in this thread is more interested in dunking on OP for the few wrong statements they make rather than focusing on the fact that a service is emailing their users their password (not an autogenerated “first time” one) in plaintext in an email.

    JackbyDev,

    “Kinda a bad idea?” This is fucking insane.

    JackbyDev,

    You’re correct and after reading more of the thread I saw OP say this was sent immediately after registering. I don’t have reason to believe it is stirred in plaintext unless they’re storing s copy of every email they send.

    JackbyDev,

    The ol’ Overwatch 2 treatment.

    JackbyDev,

    Between 0 and -1 I guess?

    JackbyDev,

    Hypothetically I don’t see a problem with things like a new entry in Elder Scrolls. The problem (to me) seems more like constantly remaking Skyrim into new editions and for each new console.

    JackbyDev,

    Or, you know, make sure the game actually has all the information in it you need to play it.

    JackbyDev,

    Slenderman. The OG. I didn’t like horror of any type and was always so scared. I was in early college years and chaperoning for a church trip and the two kids in my room were high schoolers I was friends with. They wanted to okay it but we’re too scared. Idk what, something about them being too scared to play and making me do it gave me the courage to. Slenderman just looked so goofy in this game. I finally couldn’t take it seriously. These two kids were like cowering behind the hotel bed though lol.

    Later it was Amnesia: the Dark Descent. It was tough but I got through it. I played it during 4he middle of the day with the lights on lol. I would pause whenever anything scary happened but I got through it!

    JackbyDev,

    Anno 1800 was available for purchase on Steam prior to release but at some point they made a deal with Epic to sell it there for a year. Then it was removed from Steam. If you already bought it you could use it on Steam but everyone else had to wait. You could also directly buy it from Ubisoft’s own store Uplay so in the most strict sense it was not an exclusive contract but pretty damn close. Also it wasn’t a secret. The company talked about it. They had to, because it was literally available for pre purchase on Steam and then suddenly wasn’t.

    JackbyDev, (edited )

    Something better than steam workshop.

    Maybe Nexus Mods’ third mod manager will be better than the first two? lol.

    JackbyDev,

    Fandom, previously Wikia, a long with all game journalism sites with their SEO have ruined it.

    JackbyDev,

    Fextralife is utter shit. Always giving you the most unrelated information in the longest amount of time all while being forced to watch a stream you don’t care about.

    JackbyDev,

    Nah

    JackbyDev,

    Also even if you’re using lossy compression you don’t recompress things every time lol.

    JackbyDev,

    Literally enlightened centrism.

    JackbyDev,

    Nexus hasn’t changed much over the years. They just make a new mod tool every few years it feels like lol.

    JackbyDev,

    It’s like I didn’t think it could get worse but it just kept getting worse and worse lol.

    JackbyDev,

    That only makes sense if Microsoft had a GotHub competitor lol. I think it was more about getting that juicy data and making copilot.

    JackbyDev,

    I disagree. They’re pretty good about not shoving shovelware in your face. I don’t think games should be prevented from entry to the store just because they’re perceived low quality. Where would you draw the line?

    JackbyDev,

    I feel you, I’m not denying a correlation between free assets and shovelware but why punish good quality games using free assets? Steam has a pretty generous (relatively speaking) refund policy letting you refund games you’ve bought in the past week that you have played for less than two hours. I feel like most games and especially shovelware games you can know if they’re shit in under two hours. Better to let too many shitty games in and not risk keeping a good one out and let folks get refunds for shitty games than to potentially keep good games out because they don’t meet some weird criteria they can’t quite meet.

    Steam's Oldest User Accounts Turn 20, Valve Celebrates With Special Digital Badges - IGN (www.ign.com) angielski

    JackbyDev,

    The orange box was such a good deal

    JackbyDev,
