Blow was like that before he was rich, based on a half-dozen conversations. So at least he's consistent.

Discendo Vox posted:Yes and no; Braid's full budget for 6 years of development was $200k. Blow had that money, true, but it was apparently about all of his savings, and he ramen' it as hard as anyone during the time. Yeah, it took him basically his whole career to sock that away, and he bet it all on Braid.

He was 37 when it released. (And that $200K includes $50K of debt, IIRC.)

You don't own a game or achievement. You license the former and Valve owns the latter. Valve could arbitrarily drop the Pepe achievements and players would have no recourse.

Don Gato posted:if it is for just doing poo poo like beating the tutorial then I'm not going to care. I think a lot of those plot-milestone achievements are just cheap analytics for the publisher and developer, so they don’t have to stand up their own service.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:Go to any game with those and you'll see that something like 10-20% of players don't have the "complete tutorial/press start" achievements. There may be glitches keeping it from popping, but more often than not you'll find players start the game up and never even play it. Do those count everyone who purchased as the denominator, or just those who started it?

Improbable Lobster posted:Waiting for a lawsuit to take a game with stolen assets of their market would be significantly worse for Valve than taking it off beforehand. On what grounds could they win a lawsuit against Valve? They’ll get a DMCA claim at worst. They’re not responsible for adjudicating copyright claims, and they don’t have the expertise.

Do they not have in-game microtransactions? I’m pretty sure Valve at least used to have a no-$0 policy.

Thuryl posted:You can release a game completely for free with no in-game transactions, but it means there are certain features like Steam cards that you don't have full access to. I remember the Princess Remedy dev talked about it at one point. Ah, I must have been mixed up. Thank you!

Also, their game successes did not require them to cooperate with other people outside the Valve bubble. Running a platform like Steam is a totally different ball game, and I’m comfortable saying that Valve is very bad at navigating policymaking.

LLMs are great at search and cross-entity synthesis, compared to what we had before, so I think they’d be good for flavour commentary once you tuned the model on enough content about the world and figured out how to adjust it for world events (can probably do it with a clever enough system prompt?). You could also tune it on the “encyclopedia” content that some games have as documentation, so the player could ask natural language questions about “how do I raise my agility?” or “what weapons are good against trolls?” — using their voice, even! For the first category you would probably be better off using the LLM offline to generate a huge number of static texts than doing inference on the player’s machine, but the latter would need to be live. If the game’s paused while they ask, though, then you have most of their GPU to work with. We’re going to see a lot of terrible crap before anyone uses it well, though. An awful lot.

Meowywitch posted:We get it you're an ai shill, golly. I think AI is way overhyped and people trying to use LLMs to invent things or do medical diagnostics or recommend inventions are suckers. I do think that the underlying tech of LLM for searching through very-high-dimensional data sets is something that could be quite useful once it gets refined a bit more and people learn better how to work with it. games are very low-stakes in a bunch of ways, so I expect we’ll see people very much overreach their and the technology’s capabilities and ship a lot of terrible stuff. but I also think that it’s possible to use today’s-or-very-soon LLM toolkits in ways that could be genuinely helpful for some games everywhere outside of SA I’m considered an LLM cynic, so being thought of as a shill because I don’t think they are of literally zero utility is sort of funny to me
