Oh, Grummz is certainly a grifter. He may still have insider information though, since he does still have industry contacts.

tl;dr a bunch of ex blizzard game devs made their own studio and started making a game called firefall, but they kinda fucked it all up through mismanagement
here's a video summarizing the story:

Pokemon has fallen of big time. These faggots have released buggy shit and uglyfied their game residents like the west has. The second part may be part of the new engine they use, still looks like shit.
Obviously i cannot advocate for piracy for legal reasons. But there may or may not be games for emulators online that base their existence on good pkmn games and expand upon them.

Even during GG1 it was obvious NONE of these people were doing it for free. Some wanted to believe it was the evil lizard people and shit but what they don't realize is gaming is bigger than movies and music combined now, specially since mobile happened and its now bigger than consoles and PC, the numbers are insane. On the other hand all these talentless wokeshits who would be shown the door immediately even in progressive dumps like hollywood can go to game companies and charge them out the ass for their "work". PR consultants are already infamous for how useless they can be but woke consultants take it to another level, and yet for just talking down to the devs and sending a few emails they get to make more than a top 10x engineer makes in a year, and that's on the low end of fees.
The reason they are so desperate to fight back its because the alternative is going back to the poor house, same now as it was 10 years ago. They are riding the gravy train like never before, they know this is as good as it gets for useless fucks like them. Where else are they gonna make this much money? writing blogs nobody reads? fighting with thousands of others for a tenure position?
First rule of kiwi club is don't powerlevel.
They could add this stuff to deepfreeze, its still up: https://ggwiki.deepfreeze.it/index.php/Main_Page
What if they are the ones who shoved the weebs in the lockers and are now buttmad that some weebs are doing better than them at life?. Dunno, bitches like anita, zoe and now this black chick remind me of the girls back in HS who weren't smart nor hot nor nice so all they did was being "the bitch" to everybody but specially to the losers because those cunts only way to stand up was to put other people below them.
We already know at least zoe was exactly like that even into adulthood, is it any surprise they went woke which gives them a free pass to bully others?
Nah they just close down and open a new business under a different name and nobody notices because everybody has ADHD now.
Gonna take a guess and say it wasn't an accident nor disease...

If you can, get pictures of the rooms of those talks. If not, tell us how many attend. There's 19 main woke talks and 50+ less important ones. People are speculating these rooms will be mostly empty (or only have hipsters).
I see Hit Detection mentioned a lot. There was a list posted earlier in the thread.
Basically it was. It's a shame because I love the idea of a modern retro console. I even made a thread about them. But ultimately they get stuck in hipster hell. Pico-8 is likely the best one.
I like him. I liked the idea of Firefall, but never got to play it. I've not watched the video so maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think him making a bad game invalidates his opinions.
Fear Effect 2 can be played first. It's set before the first one, so you're not missing story context or anything. Fear Effect 2 is also a PS1 game, so I'm not sure what your objection is. There was supposed to be a third game, but it was stuck in development hell, and eventually was released as a phone game. Nobody cared about it so I can't speak to it's quality.
Fear Effect 1 doesn't have any lesbians (that love interest doesn't appear) but it does have a scene where she distracts a guard by flashing her tits (you don't see anything as the camera is behind her, but a lot of people talked about that scene at the time).

The more, the merrier. Hopefully this industry collapses on itself and something better rises from the ashes.

Based on what I know, he is a good developer but an inexperienced risk taking marketer and a poor manager/communicator. It also sounds like their concept was far too expansive for their budget and they sealed their fate when they took Chinese money.

its not about the game being bad (i have no idea about that) its about him basically running the company into the ground with his extravagant and eccentric (some would say tyrannical) leadership
im not saying hate the guy, just dont take his word as gospel

That was what I brought up with why Baldur's Gate 3 did so well over games like Spider-Man 2 and Starfield. Baldur's Gate 3, despite its flaws, is a very good looking game. It only cost 100 million dollars and you can see where the money went into that game and it was well spent. Starfield was a game that cost as much as the first and second Avatar movie to make. When a game has the budget of fucking Avatar and its sequel I expect something among the quality of those movies. Instead you got a game that looked like it was made several generations ago. Where did the money go for that game? It just feels like that they laundered the money for these AAA games and say fuck all to quality and replayablity.

Listened to some takes with old developers like Tim Cain on this subject. Come to discover the millennial and gen z mindsets really, desperately hate any kind of conflict whatsoever. That's not conducive to the process of true innovation.
Millennials and gen z as a whole dont realize that passionate artists have a tendency to get pretty heated with their development teams. That's uncomfortable.
Nowadays artist live in this world where they're actively denied the full extent of their artistic abilities because everyone they work with hates any type of conflict or aggressive passion.

I remember playing Firefall at some point and what I played was pretty good. From what I can remember it was a 3 class kind of game where you go out in the open world to find loot with the majority of resources coming from this massive drill you would call in. This would attract mobs and the longer you kept the drill going the more and more resources to craft/upgrade you got. Had flying between points and other stuff to do.
Game took place in a really bright and good looking tropical world and with the curvy female design kind of made me think of Brazil for some reason.

This one is pretty good. It uses GameBoy style cartridges:

I played it too. If it was a thing today, it wouldn't stand out. Well proportioned women aside, it had the overwatch/fortnite mid 2010s slop aesthetic before it was cemented as a thing.
There's a Korean game coming out called The First Descendant that kind of feels similar although it's very much a different game. The way player character moves reminded me of it.
