Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
Here's something we don't usually see. A dev from Concord recently made a post on reddit appealing that Marathon not face the same fate as Concord given the comparisons being made online in gamer communities. Its worth a read… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
It's been over 10 years since the majority of Reddits traffic was exposed to be coming in and out of Eglin AF base, Florida. It's more than probable to be a lot more dispersed currently. There's a paper you can find from Eglin AFB by the title of "Containment Control for a Social Network with State-Dependent Connectivity".… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
The challenge is that even if we as devs/artists see the games we've worked on as art, or its content to be artistic at the end we have no ownership of it and for the end user, this is a product they are purchasing. Its why I added, what the audience feels about it. You can assess what the audience wants through an… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
No, that's exactly the thing you shouldn't keep in mind, because for this you'd have to assume that there is some default "normal" state and everything else is just a modification of that default. That's not true in real life, and it doesn't seem healthy to hold that thought in public minds through art. If you just… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
@stray One aspect to keep in mind with protagonists (women or otherwise) is what a default is and how the audience feels about it. Broken teen fantasy like Dead or Alive Basketball or Japanese eroge games is an extreme, as are characters from Concord or Dustborn and studios on both sides are very open about it. However the… -

On the other hand, the opposite term for this is "brutal honesty", which for too many is just an excuse to be a nonconstructive jerk. It doesn't help that so many points central to these discussions constructed around highly subjective or misguided "truths". ...Like, why we keep acting as if there is a "default" type of… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
I understand that this issue might be something youre very passionate about\tired of maybe repeating the same stuff\seeing it online. But i just want to recomend to try to have a more civilized approach when adressing other people`s points, even when you vehemently disagree. This will just make your message poluted and… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
Thanks, Joao for that honest response. I feel the same on a lot of what was said…and can really appreciate communicating in a no BS way. On the point about “toxic positivity”: I’ve always been wary of the term. I only first heard it when Concord became a thing, but I fear if it has been co-opted by media personalities;… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
So basically you want to put a gag order on people. Mainly the people who dare to tell Gamers when they're full of shit. To be honest, I would probably be breaking the rules if I said the full extent of how I feel. So I'll settle for this.....Anyone who wants to call inclusion "controversial" and suggest it should be… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
Gonna pre-face this rant by saying this just represents my opinion as an individual, as a person, homo sapiens. @NikhilR EDIT: im not gonna comment on the culture war stuff as i agree and disagree with tons of points and thats a whole other thing. Im going to just mention stuff me as a dev and as a consumer think about…
