language barrier aside, it would be cool if game dev stuff was more transparent overall. especially when things fail, there's rarely any info on why

its way more close ranked than the film industry, which is irksome

Probably partially because the working conditions for games sucks while filmmaking has been unionized for a long time

He was posting a metric ton of Umi fan art for like 2 1/2 hours straight (almost all of them being art dumps). Like 20 or something straight posts of basically nothing but Umi fan art, which understandably annoyed Endorph and the thread was closed.

a good reason to close the thread imo. may this thread be love live free :)

I am sympathetic to the original point, but 1. I'm in an utter black hole of employment (southern Iowa blows when it comes to finding decent work, and even when you get work, there's no guarantee you'll hold onto it for any length of time), and 2. my living expenses are *very* low.

This is why, among other reasons, I'm hitting the bricks in terms of applying for overseas work tonight.

the worry that something might hurt the game seems way extreme, and once things have been out or flopped/closed there should be nothing stopping a conversation about it imo

I've recently been hearing stories from games that were being made in the 90s which is cool but it shouldn't take 20 years to hear stories like these!

It looks pretty neat, it'd be cool to see how varied you could be in the game, like can you focus on certain resources and work with the bare minimum on others or is progress mostly linear

there is a progression of sorts but how you optimize your setup is entirely up to you and it's fun trying to make things run at peak optimal conditions so no resources are just sitting around

it seems like a lot of stock is put in the continuation of ip and branding so i dont think they want to release anyhting negative even after the fact, in case they can profit off a later release they can still have total control of the messaging
