It was kinda funny listening to podcasters going over that news story and going "50% of workers disapprove of their company's strategy and 30% would discourage others from applying there... honestly compared to American developers those numbers are really low"

part of StS's charm is that it's got a low rent "indie studio trying their best" art style, and the sequel having something more overproduced like a mobile gacha title or some kind of polished cel shaded style would take away a lot of that

it does look like they're adding additional flair here and there, like the silence is doing a hitstun animation in one of the screenshots, and the larger scale of the shop sprites makes it clear they're not merely sitting on their laurels in terms of art

Yeah I liked Slay the Spires style and also lol at calling that "programmer art"

On the other hand, the Monster Train studio's style is exactly that mobile gacha vibe and it pushes the brain button that makes me recoil by a mile, I had to stop playing it because I thought it was too ugly. I know people are excited by their new game but I saw one frame of it and thought "ugh no thanks"

Edit: lol beaten on dunking on monster train

Yes this is the second studio founded by the same guy that has closed in the past month, and in both cases they are blaming whatever is being reported on by Ethan Gach as destroying them?

In the case of the other one, Crop Circle Games, they just abruptly replaced the company's site with a letter attacking Gach. Jeff's wife and business partner Annie has MS and I know that must be really difficult but they are also kinda melting down over everything in public and all their employees are getting nuked

https://twitter.com/gamedevdotcom/status/1772285059556401400

Edit: at this point they just took down the site entirely but the letter is still on the wayback machine

In hindsight, this one dude spinning up 4 studios in a couple of years and all of them proud to announce they're working on vaguely defined "AAA games" should have raised some eyebrows.

If you're working at "Fang and Claw" or "Dawon" you hopefully have an escape plan lined up

Jeff and Annie Strain started spinning up studios in Spring of 2021 under the Prytania Media label. Based on the studio sites (including the ones only on the wayback machine now lol):

Possibility Space was making "games around a genuine human experience, while also continuously pushing the envelope on modern gaming technology"

Crop Circle was developing " a powerful new game built around the pillars of hope, humor, and human empowerment"

They actually have two more studios that were started last summer? So who knows if they will have a bit more time or if they're gonna be shuttered soon too:

https://fangandclaw.co/
Fang and Claw is making a "player-centric AAA game... that push the boundaries of interactive, playful strategic sport"

https://dawon.games/
Dawon Games is a "AAA studio creating mobile-first games on a global scale"

Edit: importantly literally none of these studios released any information about anything they've actually worked on... i didn't realize it was this long until austin walker wrote it down lol

http://rangedtouch.com/category/shelved-by-genre/

Shelved by Genre by far was my favourite podcast to listen about discussion and analysis of the series. Not the most absolutely thorough read of the book but they bring a lot of interesting critique that three fairly educated people bring that I haven’t seen in other places.


https://www.alzabosoup.com

Alzabo Soup is a fun chapter by chapter breakdown if you just want to really just want to immerse yourself into the book but the analysis isn’t anything surprising or extremely deep but enjoyable hanging out with Wolfe fanboys.

Re-reading Wolfe is garbage and the hosts just get caught up in stupid fan theories and miss a lot of the broader themes and ideas over tiny insignificant details.

I went hard for these books last year and tried to find anything to consume about these books.

Lol my question was in reply to someone who was calling Shelved by Genre the second best one and also dunked on Alzabo Soup

The mystery box in fallout was pretty good and it got me on the hook for that mystery lol.

Walton Goggins is amazing and I will watch season 2 for more of him.

I have no idea what people were smoking to come up with the theory that this show is all about how Todd Howard hates New Vegas and wants to destroy it and the original games so only his vision remains lol, it is so indebted to those games's worlds on so many levels Iike I thought people were joking when they said there's a scene where the character unfurls the NCR flag and the New Vegas theme plays but that is LITERALLY what happens. Like I guess if you really wanted to see specific beloved characters from Fallout 1 and 2 (like, uh... ?????) then it sucks to be you, but there's not even anything saying they couldn't be characters in this world it would be just in a slightly different context.

And the people who are complaining that the timeline depicted in the show isn't exactly like the games well... those people are truly lost

Should I just play Fallout 4? I never actually did because of all the negative reactions at the time.

Or is there another game that's not Fallout but would scratch the Fallout-type itch?

(I have played New Vegas and its expansions multiple times at this point and I don't feel like going back would really be worthwhile lol)
