there are some indie publishers that I just don't understand their role. they'll just release indie games without any promotion except on twitter, and it's like... is that really what the developer signed on with you for? a couple of twitter posts? anyone can make a twitter post

at least Team 17 paid for ads during E3-type events for their indie games but it still wasn't enough to ensure their success

i also don't like that indie publishers will hijack the developer link on the Steam page to reroute to the publisher page, even if that developer has made other games. so you can't find out what else they've made on Steam!!

i haven't seen any promotion of Animal Well since Dunkey took it in, aside from a video on Dunkey's own channel. in fact Animal Well already had a marketing guy attached: Dan Adelman, the former indie head at Nintendo of America. i just assume Dan is doing all of the work still, getting the game into exhibitions and such

indie publishers often help with things like localization, QA testing, getting console ports done, etc, it's not just marketing

Lol welcome to the most twisted thread on the forums. Stick around for the ad read discussion :twisted:

But yes, they are good videos. The way he talked about Red Dead and Last of Us were totally on point with how I was feeling, plus all his 'remember the internet in 2008??' vids are very funny. And best of all, he's a chud so you know he has good politics

Has anyone made any actual progress proving that TikTok's algorithm doesn't throw you off a cliff if you say 'dead, die, deceased, no longer with us, cadaveriffic?'

I need an actual source on that and the 'shortened attention span lead to subway surfers picture-in-picture on top of other videos' because it feels like someone re-exuming the old 'millenials have no money because of Starbucks and avocado toast' non answer like 5 years ago.

This could have been entirely about the reclamation project in New Zealand. It's the coolest part of Dan's video so naturally it's 90 seconds long and misrepresented in the Docu-ganda movie.

It's also full of poo poo. I grew up about 5 mins drive from the globe mine and use to go hiking there with my dad before they literally turned a hill into a lake.

Now you can't get anywhere near it, all the roads are gated off, no public access and no timeline for if people will ever be allowed in there again. Supposedly 2023 was going to be the final date but ???
The money the mine was supposed to bring into the town has dried up completely now. Not that Reefton really saw much of it, they were bussing in workers from the more populous greymouth anyway.

And yet it's still the poster child being used to argue for more mining of public conservation land.


I won't argue it's one of the best mining remediation jobs ever done, but that's a loving low bar to clear.

I think I've brought it up before, but I'm legitimately concerned by the impact this sort of corporate-induced word substitution could have on society at large. I've already seen people do this in places where demonetization isn't a concern and the idea of having our vocabulary to discuss serious topics like suicide or sexual assault striped away by advertisers seems like a dystopian nightmare...

Oh poo poo, the Tomy Omnibot. I was just about the right age for those when they came out in the mid 80s but my family was way too poor to ever afford anything like that. :(

The closest I got was watching the previous Omnibot model co-host a kids TV gameshow here in Australia. They pretty obviously abandoned the RC element and operated it manually like a hand puppet

I really like how all of his criticisms seem to stem from a place of wanting to love these games and failing to live up to their potential. Like there never seems to be any hyperbolic making GBS threads on minor stuff for no good reason or wishcasting systems that don't exist, it's always "here are the ways the pieces already in the game could have been put together in a better way"
