Yeah Alex Navarro on the drums is fantastic and I'm glad he's doing it a second year in a row.

Part of me wants to get Golf Story but then I have to remind myself that I've never liked a golf game before in my life and despite some elements that appeal to me, I probably won't like that either. It's kind of like how I have to remind myself not to get Mario/Rabbids because I don't actually like strategy games.

Production budget came in just under ~$10 million, which is 1/4th the cost of any large-scale AAA production but still more than a first-time studio with no history of success could probably manage.

Well, they aren't a first time studio at least :v:

Oh lord. I've been having a good time in Mario Odyssey and Golf Story, but I just remembered...

I never made it more than 1/4 of the way through Breath of the Wild. Haven't touched it in months, don't know anything about any of the DLC. And I kind of want to start it over, I don't like picking up games mid-playthrough after a long break.

I'm doomed.

Start it over in hard mode.

I hate getting to this position where I have a ton of things to do but can't decide which to do and end up doing none of them. Character classes in video games, video games themselves, and more mundane poo poo like work tasks :v:

The DLC1 added a Master Mode to BotW and good news: every enemy is one color class more difficult.

The best thing DLC1 added was Majora's Mask which you can find like just a short walk away from the Great Plateau and when you wear it every enemy that isn't just a mindless beast or a wizard becomes your friend. Like slimes and keese will still give you away but generally you can just hang out in enemy camps now and party.

The floating platforms of enemies are cool but after a while i avoided most combat with regular enemies cause fighting is kinda bleh aside from the cool simulation/ai stuff

It seems to involve having multiple projects for big publishers subsidizing your personal project, landing on the cover of Game Informer magazine, and spending enough on the development of the game that 200K+ copies isn't enough to break even.

The lesson here is that the general public really has no concept of how expensive it is to make video games. Like an extraordinary amount of money, research, DIY systems and effort went into creating an 8-hour experience that 25 years ago could conceivably have been done by some dudes with macs in their garage. Expectations for visuals, art, combat, and narrative are astronomical and so much time investment is required of players for even non-multiplayer games that carving out a dedicated niche is more important than ever to gain any sort of visibility. $10 million is a lot, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to what Ubisoft spends making sure all of their products have as much widespread appeal as possible, and they would prefer to continue growing that high barrier to entry.
