ZA/UM is killpress S
>>743508186one hit wonder. nothing of value was lost.
>>743508186good, fuck unions and communists
How do you fire redundant niggers from a worker co-op
>>743508186Literally who
>>743508186>ZA/UMIs that their pronouns?
>>743508186Go woke go fucking broke!
>>743508186F
>>743508186Who the fuck is ZA/UM?
Lol, how many employees do they even have?
>>743508186Didn't all devs from DiscoE get replaced a couple years ago anyway?
zamn... not zaum...
>>743508186Seems like the chudcoded spygame didn't do very well eh?
>>743509048Yeah
>>743508186SMay there be many more closures and lay offs.
>>743508186I thought communism, marxism, leninism, bidenism, hasanism, aocism and unions were le good and protected people from layoffs?
>>743508186Rest in piss, I hope Kender or whichever suited goon stole the company dies
THIRTY TWO?TO MAKE AN ISOMETRIC STORY GAME?????????????
>>743509224Anon, the communists were kicked out by hostile takeover after DE. It was a whole thing
>>743508186lol, anyways hopefully red info announces something soon
Can someone explain to me how it takes DOZENS of people to make an isometric story game?You need like one coder, one artist, and one writer to make a game, what are the rest doing?
>>743508186who/literally
How does a studio which made infinity money with a smash hit fold after one flop?
damn guess capitalism isnt as efficient as we thought
>>743509372So basically the commies won then
>>743509458doing a hostile takeover and firing all the devs who made the game in the first place so you can squat on the studio name will do that to you
>>743509306>cyob visual novels>gameshiggity diggity my niggity
>>743509458The owners are Eastern Euro gangster profit hunters that immediately dropped the studio when it didn't provide a constant profit.
>>743508186>Lets make a FEMALE Disco Elysium>lets make an annoying female narrator trying to make quirky voicesI coudn't even stomach the first interaction with the sleeping man. Nothing of value was lost.
Bruh, Estonian devs are not that expensive...
>>743509621Estonia has the highest living standard in Europe, its average salary is higher than in the US
>>743508186lol, again?guess that means their "new" game won't ever get finished then, it basically released in beta state from what I've read
>>743509458They split into like 5 subgroups and the main writer behind Disco Elysium lore universe got sent to mental insitute
>>743508186>never heard of this>check steam>looks pretty coolshould I try it? it's $35, maybe I'll wait for a sale
>>743509224It was literally and unambiguously killed by capital.
>>743508186>please hire our woke feminist devsno
>>743509749Yeah it's fine if you liked DE, obviously get it on sale
>>743509687None of that is true.
>>743508186Maybe just me but I fully missed that their newest not-Disco Elysium game dropped almost two months ago. Judging by the mere 1,341 English reviews I'm not alone. I understand that DE is much older but for comparison it has almost 57,000.
>>743509696yeah that sounds right
>>743508186>Zero ParadesThat game really came and went like a wet fart, huh
>>743509828Did you hear about Esoteric Ebb at least?
>>743509749you already posted the answer
>>743509849>game is called Zero Parades>zero parades are held for itBravo Soejima
>>743508186>she's 12ZA/UM!!!
>>743509849The only reason Disco Elysium even sold in the first place was because they had commie podcasters do the voice acting. Without the parasocial friendship buyers, no one would have bought it.
Is this the only DE successor that didn't flop?
>>743509986It wasn't made by one of the successor teams though right?
oops! turns out people like owning businesses and having money and buying property and owning things OOPS
>>743508186Why don't any of these gaming companies have anything liquid? If the game doesn't immediately perform they have to shutter. Where's the runway?
>>743510210Turns out that to make games you need startup capital, which communists don't have. Oops.
>>743509401>what are the rest doing?>commies>doing anything
>>743508186Absolutely fucking based.Woke trannies btfo
>>743510429but the communists were all removed from the company after the success of Disco Elysium
>>743510210>Tencent says they will fund you if your game is good>game bad>plug pulled
>>743509851Of course, I remember reading about it in your post! To be honest I avoided looking for anything new in the past few months as I'm nearing the ends of two long games that I want to finish first, but the point is that ZA/UM seem to have failed to properly promote their new game and reach the audience that made DE blew up. Thanks for the recommendation!
>>743508891>Literally whoThe only game studio where full communism was put into practice.
You get what you fucking deserve.
I don't understand. I thought capitalism was killing gaming? Why are all these communist game studios failing?
>>743508186Didn't work out, huh? That's ONE out of five.
>>743509790Why would you support the people who stole DE if you liked DE?
>>7435098281000 reviews is quite good for a mid-sized game. How did they not turn a profit off that?
>>743510791Both Darkmath and Longdue are scams, though. Get with the times.
>>743508186How do you fire communists? That doesn't seem very in the spirit of Marx and Engel.
>>743509749might as well pirate now if no money is going to further projects
>>743510723Lenin would be so proud
>>743508186ZA/UM THEY'RE 32(employees)???
Zayum
>>743510792Cause who fucking cares about devs?
>>743510791that was the only one that we are gonna get
>>743509306my reaction as welltheir ego went up to their head thinkin they'd sell billions
>>743510546I never understood this belief. Real commies turned Soviet Russia from a frozen peasantsville into an economic super power within like 40 years. It was the fastest growth spurt of any economy in human history.
>>743511249And it only took torturing and killings millions of their own people
Is this the end of the era-defining and critically acclaimed DISCOLIKE genre?
>>743508186I was actually interested in Zero Parades, but I refuse to buy games at launch anymore since so many of them are just glorified early access launches where the studio keeps patching the game into a playable state for the next year after "launch".
>>743511249>It was the fastest growth spurt of any economy in human history.That was actually post-war Japan.
>>743508186release a few more lesbian games it might save your studio
>mfw
>>743511717>I totally would have bought a Disco Elysium game if it had hot chicks and you played as chad!
>>743508186>steals disco elysium from its creators>gets raped and dieswhat a shame :)
>>743510723ZA/UM failed because they weren't *real* communistsNow look at the Dead Cells devs, they're so communist everyone working at that company makes the same amount of money, with no bosses and managers. Vgh... if only America could do the same....
>>743509749pirate it. buying it will only put money in the pockets of the kike psychopath that stole the studio from its founders
>>743509595That man isn't sleeping. He's suffering from LASS. The fucking board will never tell you about the dangers of lpop and waifus.
>>743511350The Brits killed way more jeets just trying to get spice and silks. Every big burn of economic development loves the suffering of some underclass or another.>>743511430Japan just transitioned their war machine into a hub of capital development. The "economic miracle" was more or less the same conditions that America enjoyed. The war never fully landed on their shores outside of some firebombing and 2 big exceptions so a lot of their industry that had conquered the Pacific was still available to them.
>>743509401you need at least -studio head: managing building, money, hiring/firings, deadlines and publishing deals-finance: at lest one person, otherwise you can get fucked by the government and billions laws and taxes no sane person knows-HR: as above, absolutly required in any company for legal purporposes and menaging employess-legal: as above, basically mandatory by lawand thats as a bare minimum studio structure-art director-background artist-character artist-animator-ui/ux guy-game designer-programmer-tester-writerthey add in voice actors, qa, localization and a milion other people you will get part timea "small" indie dev team that can make shit on time and hit milestones without large scale outsource and part time employees like team cherry or something do is at lest 15 people large, and if one of those people gets sick or a woman has a kid you are fucking fucked since you have no redundancy
>>743511249How Stalin rebuilt the Union from the first war, civil war and the famines is impressive but people need to stop with the pop history version of Tsarist Russia. They were also an incredibly fast growing economy with a growing middle class and healthy budget. They absolutely had awful conditions in many places and certainly lagged behind as well compared to their rival great powers but Russia WAS a great power under them. The Germans before the war thought the Russian Empire would be simply too powerful with their economic and social reforms past 1917, they absolutely were not light weights.
This made me check if there were any updates after I finished ZP, and they finally added a way to optimize stats. It should've been there on release, honestly, but better late than never.
>>743509749I liked it more than DE. It's not as high concept, but it feels much more vast. Great characters, great dialogue, and I loved the concept behind tecnhnofascism and the empire without territory.
>>743508186Didn't even know their new game was out, I stopped caring about the studio after the original team was replaced. Fuck 'em.
>>743508186>steal an ip and fire all the relevant devs >kill any goodwill you had>best you can do with DE is a shitty mobile release>make an original game and it bombs because everyone wants your studio dead>now thisI know Kurvitz is laughing his ass off
>/pol/tard tourists will post about muh gommunism even though capitalists already killed ZA/UM and removed most of the people behind Disco years ago
Disco was lightning in a bottle, a shame but that's disco.
>>743508186arent they the studio where they had a coup and threw out the original creator? almost makes me think karma and consequences exist
Total Estonian mafia death
Is this the game where every failed roll (in a game about having interesting outcomes after failed rolls) reduces your stats permanently?
>>743513065The Communists should have resisted successfully, like with the real Cold War. If the Stalinists in the military and KGB wiped out every liberal then the Soviets would still be around just like the Chinese State. Of course the Capitalists will try to kill you, stop crying about it and start fighting back.
>>743511249>In 1929, Henry Ford signed a landmark technical assistance contract to build automotive plants in the Soviet UnionThat's because Soviet Union had capitalist build the up. Meanwhile modern commies hate capitalism rabidly
>>743513092More like "discolikes" are visual novels with shit diceroll mechanics and the novelty wore off exactly after ONE game.
>>743508186oh never heard of it. time to pirate it
>>743510791And Esoteric Ebb is none of these guys? They were just fans inspired by DE and they did the best results?
>>743513249>And Esoteric Ebb is none of these guys?No, they're just fans.
>>743513065doesn't change the fact commie elysium is commietardation and not a game
>>743511380Capitalist eating the commie
>>743508186thank god
>>743509224Unions are good. Even from a strictly capitalistic, non-socialist perspective. The bargaining power of the employees next to the bargaining power of the employers. Is a crucial component.
>>743512575Board?
>>743513331
>>743509696>got sent to mental institute Checks out.
>>743513331It is a Marxist game and that's a good thing btw.
>>743513189>modern commiesNot the real Commies out EastSomething something Chinese and colourful cats
>>743513286Maybe i should try it, then. Is it as interesting as DE? Does it have the equivalent of Kim in the game? Or romance routes?
>>743509905*Everyone loved that
I need a good LORE video on history of Disco Elysium studio falling apart. I keep hearing different version on how they fucked up and killed the Golden Goose right after aquiring it.
>>743509023actually it's a mindrape torture device from DE prequel book
>>743513331Holy f*cking truke
>>743513501>Is it as interesting as DE?no>Does it have the equivalent of Kim in the game?yes>Or romance routes?yes
>>743508186Well I know whyI've never heard of this fucking game, despite loving Disco Elysium, and it was released almost 2 months ago?????What a fucking failure of marketing
>>743509306Yeah it's staggering considering Weather Factory is making the same kind of game and they are literally like two people though I guess they do hire freelancers for music and stuff
>>743513501The game is a lot less intelligent. The Kim of the game has no trust in you and instead is mildly annoying. It portrays "fascism" not wholly negative, but at the very end. It copies a lot from DnD. The characters don't really have much in the way of personality. The politics don't make much sense in the scope of the game, unlike DE. The game doesn't take itself seriously and instead the cleric is mostly just a bad walking joke. The game struggles to take itself seriously until the very end. The lore is very boring and a lot lifted from DnD. There's no point to schizophrenic skills talking to you. The dungeon delving is fun.
>>743513812I hope it's not too boring.
>>743508186shamedead spies is a great game
>>743512013trans ally ahh post
>>743513981Damn so it's just a Discworld reddit game? Nothing is serious but also humor isn't that good to make you laugh? The best moment of DE was that when it had its moments it was due to other characters and setting being realistic, especially with grounded serious character like Kim.
>>743509306>>743509401have you ever worked a single day in your life
>>743513331no idea whats the point of that posteverybody knows its a commie and the devs are open communist and marxist extremists, they arent really hiding itthe difference is that its ok to be a communist in modern world and most celebrities and media push marxism as the "moral" political view
>>743514252Yes, I'm a software dev. Why?
>>743513192>>743513820I think what I hate about this trash game more than anything its everyone aping the fucking awful looking vertical dialogue boxthis is phonenigger vertical video tier shit that should never be used for a feature that's so central to the game
To put it into perspective, Morrowind was made by 35 people.
>>743509224>>743508950>>743508936>>743508561Why are right wingers so incredibly stupid and proud of their ignorance? The communists left the company years ago.
>>743514629how many of morrowind's dev team were ape slav communists?
>>743514363>most celebrities and media push marxism as the "moral" political viewLet me guess, you're American, and gays = marxism
that's sad, zero parades was great and better than DE
>>743508186A terrible day for trans rights.
>>743514753How did it improve on DE?
ZAAAMN NOOOOOO
leftist woke devs getting what they deserve.
>>743514812far better story, ending that matter and feels impactfulgrittier, grimier. you can be a proper psychopath and so some really fucked up shit
>>743509905lol
Pokemon Za/Um?
>female protagonistWell shit, no wonder it flopped. Did the devs talk to a single marketing guy? Female protags don't sell.
>>743514746Why did you drink the kool-aid?
>>743509372man that reminds of a book i read one time
>>743509048yes
>>743514439then you should be able to understand making a game isn't just prompting "make game" into your favourite ai
>>743514512Oh, I dunno, I think it's quite.pleasing actually. With normal RPG textbox you couldn't really get back and forth dialog on the screen at the same time because you were limited to a certain height. Plus shorter lines are either to keep track of if you avert your eyes for a moment to look at what's happening in the game world
>>743512861in small studios usually one guy has multiple roles, all the roles you've listed can be easily done in 3 people + some outsource
Let's just forget about the hundreds of studios and thousands of employees losing their jobs under CapitalismOne commie studio closed down? It's now all good
>>743515221I could easily do it in the same time with 3 devs
>>743509372the guy that stole it from this is also a public communist
>>743515309Which studios were worth anything, or do you just want to bait with political shitflinging?
>>743509749Your money is no longer going to the devs, so sure. Wait for a sale or pirate, prioritize yourself here.
>>743513092moreso their potential playerbase is fond of de and extremely politically motivated so they genuinely killed at least 50% of potential sales before the thing had even releasedrare victory for vote with your wallet boomers
>>743508186Deserved and what the fuck, 32 *non essential* jobs? That game was one good portrait artist, one good objective artist, some atrocious modeling and animations, and text, which doesn't take 32 fucking people.Did the Esoteric ebb guy announce what he's doing next?
>>743515331sure bro, how's your game coming along then? surely you can easily beat DE's +5mio salesmaking games is so easy, I just don't understand why so many studios just don't hire a couple of computer dudes and be done with it
>>743508186Never heard of it but I assume it's woke slop so good riddance. Hope these devs quit the industry for good
>>743515508ID TechWhy do you only care about that political post and not all the other ones up there?
>>743514512Nah the vertical dialogue box is VERY nice. Actually makes long conversations bearable.
>>743514694you sound fucking retard
>>743514694You sound fucking ingenious
>>743508186>Communists leave after capitalists break into the Company>Company breaks soon after LolLmao
>>743509986Really enjoyed this one. I only played DE so this had a way more positive message behind everything. Also you can create NatSoc from first principles which is neat.Snail wizard and Ettir were best parts.
>>743514694You sound like a midwit
>>743513331communoidals never recovered from this TOTAL TRVKVLAR WAR
>>743508186The talent was all gone my 2022, the only thing left were remoras and parasites
>>743514694>Why are right wingers brain deadThey're literally cattle
>>743514694You sound gay
>>743509048Not just replaced, but aggressively ousted
>>743516425it's even more pathetic; they're lambs that think themselves wolves
>>743516579Whoah... can I save this?
>>743508186Good night lefty parasite.
I'm not reading this thread because I'm sure it will be filled with retards that didn't touch Zero Parades.Great game, but of course all the slacktivists didn't buy it because muh capitalism ;_;Hopefully Robert Kurvitz and the Summer Eternal guys will make two great games that can get all the ebin redditors pumping up their fists. But if he doesn't and those shits flop? I'll be laughing at everyone that celebrated Zero Parades flopping. Suck my dick.
>>743515309>commie studioZA/UM isn't a commie studio nor is it closing down.
press F to spit on commie scum
>>743509986I wouldn't call it a successor but it got great threads on /v/, which is pretty rare nowadays. ZP's died quicker>over 4 times ZP's reviewsWew lad, even accounting for it being out two months longer, given it was one guy + publisher & contractors, that's fucking embarrassing. Good for him tho
>>743513331Holy shit, I kneel.
>>743514512How on earth do you think it could be done better
>>743508186I thought it did well, even /v/ seemed to like it.But I guess the black mark of firing the DE devs hung over it. The silver lining is that the greedy ass whole ousted them isn't turning a profit.
>>743508186>Communism fails, againnever saw that coming.
whomst?
honestly esoteric ebb was made by one dude right?how are you making a game that will sell 1 million lifetime on a good day and hiring that many peoplethe genre doesnt need 60 man studios, theyre visual novels +indie fodder
The vertical textbox is one of the few good innovations DE made. The problem is the clones copy the shit parts too.
>>743517059stupid tourist doesn't even know the meme well lmao
>>743517510It's because Disco Elysium was a AA game that due to a fluke made a ton of money. It didn't *need* production values that high, but that's how it was made.

>>743517723...the harder they fall
>>743517723...shame on me.
>>743509749I just finished it, I'll give you the quick review>It's not at all Disco Elysium, both in quality of writing and in topic. DE used the cop story as a framework, in ZP the spy stuff is indeed the actual plot>The game tries to retain some connection to DE to its detriment. The options you have to be blatantly politically partisan come off as phony, putting the hardline political stuff as the set dressing worked way better>Some of the writing needed another pass. A random drunkard on the street happens to be the main exposition dump for one of the 3 main factions in the world and it is just intolerably long. There's also a autistic redditor Sheldon Cooper type who leaned way too hard into his gimmick to be likable.>A lot of the characters are very good just not fleshed out enough. The protagonist is the biggest example of this.>The game part is better, I liked the health meters, but didn't care for the permanently-equippable Conditioning thoughts because they usually increase max rank of a skill which means a lot of skill checks have ridiculous requirements because you can get 8+ of a stat>The skills are samey. The only ones that have a unique voice to them are Doppelgang, Statehood, and maybe Poetics.oh, and the narrator voice is going to be serious personal preference. She sounds great when speaking normally, but she does a vocal fry kind of thing when speaking as a Skill that can grate on you especially considering Skills talk more than the regular narration does.
for a second there I panicked because I thought it was the guy that made Touhou
>>743508186Why do companies share this shit publicly? I do not give a fuck if you are restructuring, firing people or abusing your coworkers. Just keep making the fucking games instead of having a cruelty jerkoff on twitter.
>>743517891ZUN could probably beg for money and he would get millions of dollars in like an hour.
>>743508186And yet Zero Parades will be the ONLY non-shit DE successor.
>>743517980get ahead of the storycontrol the narrativedont let recently layed off staff talk to the media before you've made your stanceit's also friday afternoon
Esoteric Ebb was nice shit. Not as good as DE, but still good reading game, where you tell funny shit to people.

>>743508186>quirk chungus femaleThis is literally impossible not to be annoying. Harry being an absolute failure is a compelling story and you want to find out more about him. How a man gets there is compelling, tragic, and has hints of schadenfreude. You can't do that with a woman. Nobody believes it.
>>743508186>make ultra woke game that depicts white men as weak, stupid and evil while every woman and negro is an allpowerful mary sue>why are chuds not buying oru game!!!!!lol. people who hate only end up hurting themselves
What does the most promising Disco Elysium successor studio have to say about that?
>Esoteric Ebb>Male protagonistSuccess>Zero Parades>Female protagonistFlopsIt really is that simple. Gamers don't want to play as chicks.
girls have cooties omg so gross
>>743518596This but unironically
that's 3 DE imitators downwhat's left for us now? who will deliver us some kino?
>>743510792I care whether the game is fucking good or not.
>>743518519>the most promising Disco Elysium successor studioNon existent. Kurvitz is masturbating with Avellone, Summer Eternal is too busy LARPing to create a video game and the rest are ostensibly scams.
>>743510840you've heard of Hollywood accounting? well, it's nothing compared to socialist accounting.
>>743518467Disco Elysium had some funny moments out of absurdity but all the Esoteric Ebb losers kept posing screencaps of the most unfunniest shit possible. Truly one of the most reddit fanbases imaginable here.
>>743517420Retard
>>743508186>first game has a white male protagonist: he is a fat, loser and the butt of every joke>second game has a female pragonnist. she is "tough", smart, treated with respect and gets to humiliate and intimidate weak white mensexist double standard like this has no place in gaming. go woke, go broke
>>743510840Too much money spent on lawsuits and marketing
>>743516579one of the best worst sentences ever written here. you'd get on the front page of reddit with this one
>>743518346actually there are kinda joke with cat, because main hero can ask everyone who are they going to vote for, and tell everyone who are you going to vote for, even if they don't want to listen to you. and later in the game you can come even to cat and be like 'HELLO CAT WHO ARW YOU GOING TO VOTE FOR, I HOPE YOU ARE NOT VOTING FOR COMMUNISTS, OR GAYS, OR NATIONALISTS, OR MAGES, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR AGRARIAN PARTY, LIKE ME'and there are like, no agrarian party even in the game
>>743511778yeah i would have
>>743508186Shame because Zero Parades exceeded my expectations and is my current GOTY 2026. Also not unexpected if they're still headquartered in London of all places and because the game has low amount of reviews on Steam
>target audience wasn't going to support the game because the studio pushed out the original DE devs>it failed because LE WOKEHow do mouthbreathers like this even function enough to use a computer

>>743518539If it only Esoteric had cute waifus and more serious moments it would have been better than DE
>>743510546Hey, purge, gulag and famine for 50 million people is doing something. >>743511249While they get credit for their industrial revolution, much of the growth was an illusion based on prioritizing moscow for all benefits, while shortchanging everyone else. They took the spoils from the entire Eastern block to build up Russia. East germany, hungary, romania, bulgaria and romania explosively grew economically after the fall of the USSR. And in the former Soviet uniion itself, there's still much that's poorly developed to this very day.
>>743513749https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaum>Zaum (Russian: зáyмь, lit.'transrational') are the linguistic experiments in sound symbolism and language creation of Russian Cubo-Futurist poets such as Velimir Khlebnikov and Aleksei Kruchenykh. Zaum is a non-referential phonetic entity with its own ontology. The language consists of neologisms that mean nothing. Zaum is a language organized through phonetic analogy and rhythm.[2] Zaum literature cannot contain any onomatopoeia or psychopathological states.[3]

>>743513820I mean its really just Alexis right? Lottie just does merch/community/management stuff. It's Alexis and his rotating freelancers whenever he needs someone good at coding to implement something too complicated for him or to fix something he can't. And then music of course.
>>743509224ZA/UM demonstrated exactly why unions fail. When given the chance, they elected a capitalist to lead them.
>>743518879>wokeness is never the reason anything has ever failed despite billions of examples ok retard
esoteric ebb was 100000x the game this crap ever was ... for starters they should have evolved the formulae a little ... add some owlcat gameplay and there you go another GOTY. hire gamers
>>743519720Lottie is also main artist for this one. Not sure how much she did in the previous ones. She talks about how she had to learn animation for this one, and how they struggled getting things to be behind/in front of others properly given they aren't using 3d graphics so spencer kept phasing in front of walls.
>>743508186Good, no more woke.The new game's MC was an ugly woman. Who the fuck was the target audience of that?? No one wants to be ugly in a video game, neither men nor women.
>>743508186A shame, Zero Parades was a great game.
>>743519660thiszero parades for backstabbing kikes
>>743508186laying off 32 employees isn't a closure, fuck you for giving me hope.
>>743513501It's worth a play I think. The guy who wrote it is just not as intelligent or talented as the guy who wrote Disco though. Not to say he's bad, but he's just not, and that wouldn't be a big problem except he apes so much shit from DE it's hard to not compare directly.I mean investigating the crime scene of the burnt tavern in Esoteric Ebb kind of leaves you shaking your head because its so, so similar to you and Kim investigating the hanged man behind the Whirling-in-Rags and its just shallow in comparison, but there's a lot of things like that.The Kim analogue is especially bad because he's much more boring, less charming, and less funny, but he's written to fill the exact same role in the exact same way.It seems like I'm shitting on it a lot but its really not bad, It's also fairly cheap.The writer/creator of the game is also the typical Swedish male feminist who would support his girlfriend's choice to force him into an open relationship because he deserved it for trying to initiate sex once.That doesn't matter to everyone but if it matters to you, I'd avoid the game.
>>743515926>ID Techlmao you really had to grasp for that one, didn't you You already know that no studio is worth raising a stink over these layoffs
>>743519746get better material troon
>>743508186Communism.
>>743520181lmao it took him hours for that comeback
>>743515232outsource is usually 3-10x more expensive than in house work, and you still need someone to process the result.and sure, you might get a character artist /animator or art director/artist combos, but sure as fuck you arent making any games in any reasonable amount of time.there is a reason silksong took 7 years to make and still feels like an unfinished rushed mess with god awful third act and entire zones that are unfinished
>>743520315This might surprise you, but not everybody has to be stapled to a board and can browse freely in others. Also, still no further studios to present, I see.
>>743519959Might be interesting actually, never had a huge problem with Weather Factory art but also have never been a big fan really. Might be interesting if she's taking a more major role and changes thing up a little.
>>743515232this is not some tiny indie studio trying to make their first project. It's an established studio that made (at least in name) one of the most acclaimed games in the past years.
>>743513820It's honestly bumming me out that it looks like none of the Principles from BoH are coming back. No Nectar...no Scale...no Sky...a lesser world will it be.
>>743514694If the communists left the company there would have been no one left
>>743509040>>743509401>>743510914>>743515721They had about 350 people working on the game. Maybe half of that full time.I'm estimating the budget to be high single A, maybe scraping bottom double A at around 4 million USD.
>>743520105More like Zero fucks given
>>743508186ZA...UM, who?
>>743520680>>743520727Raped posts.
>>743509401>one coder, one artist, and one writer to make a game,And the result will likely be mediocre unless you happen to have the most unique idea and the best possible circumstances>>743514439There's always that one developer who thinks everything just gets magically done because he's used to just writing instructions to a computer and feeling like he gets so much shit done so quickly.
>>743520784>The result will be mediocre unless you have hundreds of guys doing the same job>It would take a literal miracle for small teams to succeedLol. Lmao even.Can't believe a bootlicker like you even exists.
Zero Parades has a dogshit OST. It's just 2 hours of some guy on oboe warming up.
>>743514694they just love to get scammed. its funny to watch them trying to cope with trump screwing them over again and again lol
>>743514694You sound alright
Should have been capitalist instead. They'd still be fired and homeless but at least they could stuff their faces with Starbucks and McDonalds until their welfare ran out.
>>743514512lil bro has never heard of a book
>>743515728I'm not a game dev because I'm not retarded. I like to get paid and be comfyKeep hiring hundreds of devs for years to make one game, fag
>>743508186>Za-um workers alliance.Does this corp have a corp specific union? That must mean it's a great place to work at.
