Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
Oh right, my mistake. It wasn't blacklisting you were calling for, it was for them to be publicly named and held accountable to the aforementioned pissbabies when something in the game doesn't agree with them. I'm sorry, but that's stupid, for many reasons. One. One person is smart; people are idiots. That many people? A… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
not sure what there is to talk about this tbh. Anyone can say anything on the internet, and this is on the same level of pettiness as Elden Ring players saying you haven't ackshually beaten the game if you use spirit ashes. If MrSpug is a developer, he hasn't said anything that would damage the reputation of his company or… -
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… -
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… -
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
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
I wouldn't say that that gamers are pissbabies, its very apparent from that reddit thread that many do have genuine concerns and want to see some resolution. Also they are the intended audience so this approach to promotion where they feel attacked isn't conducive to the games reception being a positive one. And I've… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
My posts weren't meant to lead into a discussion of blacklists, so I don't understand why you'd think I'm obsessed with the idea. I do feel sometimes that if game devs had been more aware of the business aspect of the industry we wouldn't be facing the situation we're seeing today. We wouldn't have sold out to mega… -
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
Going through the comments on that thread, im not sure if how many were convinced of the sincerity of his appeal, which I think is genuine. Most were just wondering about what he could really do in his current position to make Marathon a success The other issue is that many gamers believe that their game language being…
