shame

Here's a thought: if you don't like them, and you KNOW you don't like them, maybe skip over these posts in the future, mmmkay?

Yep and it was awesome back then. Still is now

OK I'm getting this strange deja vu. Wasn't there maybe a UT2k3 or UT2k4 map that was on a moving train? Anyway, "moving" levels are the best. :)

The fact it's a wider-ranging problem than just game development doesn't make what he said untrue. Your experience may differ but I certainly haven't often seen people go into so much detail of their game development process, and I found his post fascinating.

Lack of transparency IS one of the ugliest trends in game development. What you call "business, bro" is a toxic practice that is ultimately detrimental for both game developers and game players.

Never a good sign when a comment has the word "derp" in its first sentence.

So you're saying I need to buy a dozen boxes of ice cream sandwiches?

they should combine the skyrim engine and gameplay with the pokemon story

And hockey pucks. Also, cod - but only in Newfoundland and only for the GST.

Doubtful. And honestly, we've seen so many horror stories about gaming Kickstarters ending up needing waaaaay more than their allocated budget, until the game fails, and the team abandons ship, that... I can understand the reservations.

Funny enough, it took me around 4 years to learn with how to properly manage it. Seems the same magic figure was enough to break this guy :(

I pictured you typing that at your PC, hitting Publish, then looking out the window, a single tear rolling down your cheek.

All I can is I sympathise. The only people who ever say "man up" or "it's the internet" are the people who don't see the private hate mail.

I really want to give you a medal.

For many people, the very word "game" has the implication that a definitive goal or objective is involved. It's perfectly possible for someone to be creative/innovative in other aspects of life, but still expect a "goal" when you play a game. Hell, I sometimes like games with a definite goal. It can be relaxing…

Two of the top comments right now are bots, and yet there isn't a single report button. Guess that's another thing to chalk up to the Kinja commenting system.

Sodas... snacks... those words sound familiar, but I have no idea what they are.

I like how she holds up a soda and a snack to illustrate sodas and snacks as she is saying "sodas and snacks." Just in case we don't know what sodas and snacks are.
