Ryanbomber posted:From what I understand, AGS threw a lot of money around to hire a bunch of industry vets, got an army of them, and proceeded to ignore every single suggestion they had to give until they all quit in frustration Seriously this does sound a lot like Zybourne Clock. From what I heard, there was *one* goon who had actual game design experience, but they kicked him off the team because he refused to fellate the self-appointed team leader.

From the rumors and such I hear coming out of AGS, this is basically what happens; Amazon is apparently wicked seniority based or something, so the people who came in with actual experience knowing things like "Don't do client side validation" or "You can't put out a piece of poo poo and expect to patch it good" were basically ignored because the team leads were all Flavoraid drinkers who "knew" that "The Amazon Way is the Best Way". Unfortuantely, I think the lesson they'll learn from this is basically "The game industry is an unsolvable problem because we're Amazon and we can do anything but we couldn't do that".

Amazon will start buying successful game companies and mandating that they have to follow Amazon management procedures and use Amazon tech.

It's basically even odds whether a tech giant will look at an endeavour they just dropped $500 million* on and say "this was stupid, we're never doing it again" or "we need to double down and spend even more". * number made up, I have no idea how much Amazon has spent on gaming so far

In Mega Man Battle Network, there's a short period after using a chip during which you can't use another one. However, switching forms breaks you out of a lot of effects, and in MMBN4, one of the things it breaks you out of is the chip lockout period. Throw in some fullcusts to get you to the next turn right away, letting you switch forms again, and... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOQ8JR4rNuM

You got close but also so, so very far. From what we know, Amazon is dropping 500 million dollars per year into their game studio, and so far have released New World, a few smaller games that were critically panned, a port of Dragon's Lair for twitch, and also managed to un-release a game which is really their most impressive feat.

The new Popeye game on the Switch really captures the feel of the comic. In a generic Unity game kinda way. https://twitter.com/alextherubikang/status/1456433309416771586?s=21 https://twitter.com/alextherubikang/status/1456506687465066521?s=21

Railroads Online is a train simulator game that requires you to build all your own tracks from station to station. Naturally, derailing is a constant concern. But not usually like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt_dPMPhn2U

Agile is a one size fits all development model and definitely shouldn't be adjusted based on the product. Getting any kind of working code out the door as your primary goal will always be successful. I was forced to do some dumb company training on agile and I would be in jail if I followed it. Documentation isn't so important and we should get a product out ASAP and try and bypass SOPs? Yeah the fda will love that.

Imagine if the engine had landed on those other tracks and continued merrily on its way. Further imagine if the rest of the train cars did the same thing, linking up with the engine as they landed.
