Our new studio, FPC, has released a gameplay video for our upcoming MMORPG. See what 1 year of dev with 25 people looks like! youtube.com/watch?v=v5ZAFt…

@Puuma_Guy Thanks for asking. I might have found a (wonderful) job? Will share soon. No MMOs for the immediate future I am afraid.

@Ghostcrawler What are your plans and goals right now

@ghidawi @jantonsson2 For AAA it’s the development budget especially for cutting edge graphics. For smaller studios discovery is a huge challenge. Even if their dev budget is 50k they need money for people to find the game.

@Ghostcrawler @jantonsson2 Is it that studios want to do new things with a larger/undefined scope, or is it that the cost of modern production/technology ends up eating a lot of the budget?

What is the single biggest challenge today when it comes to developing indie games and bringing them to market? Serious question.

@Thiigan @jantonsson2 “There are currently hundreds of games with a 95%+ positive rating that have fewer than 500 total reviews, meaning their estimated owners are likely under 10,000—minuscule for a platform with 130 million active users.”

@Thiigan @jantonsson2 I am not an expert in Steam algorithms but my understanding is that it heavily promotes games with momentum, which will help to bury highly reviewed games with low player numbers.

@shipdit_ I told Gemini stop doing the concierge thing where it says “since you will be traveling through X do you want to do something tangential to the question you just asked?” but it won’t stop

@Ghostcrawler I keep having issues with Grok forgetting context lately. Like I’ll tell it an appointment has been moved, then it will tell me the same appointment on the wrong date repeatedly no matter how many times I’ve tried to retrain it.

Bizarre AI response where it said since you’re flying next week, and I said I wasn’t, and it said oh good then here is what we need to do this week, and it was just this random list of shit I had asked about, but had never indicated I needed to do this week, or in fact ever

@Hunteroforcs I just do whatever the LLM says no questions

@Ghostcrawler AI was trying to keep bro on point

@Caeksy I mean they came all the way from Dubai for it

@Ghostcrawler Do not knock Chili's, the presidential margarita slaps and I refuse to hear any slander on the most distinguished of adult beverages.

Very international group of flight attendants talking about how they can’t wait to land in Houston so they can eat at Chilis and go line dancing

@tdawgsmitty Where? In Westminster?

@Ghostcrawler hey Greg! Just went raisin canes tonight and you are on the wall of fame. Shoutout McDaniel college!

@AsheDT Feel free to DM me

@Ghostcrawler Hi Greg! I'm writing an article about the influx of old-school MMO launches and wanted to know if you'd be interested in commenting. I'd like to know your perspective. Email me at ashley.t@valnetinc.com if you're available. Thanks!

GOTY 2026 should be whichever one doesn't let me get trapped in photo mode in the middle of combat

@AdventW0lf Like dozens of other studios last year, our publisher cut funding and we were unable to find additional support. So it is sadly in stasis

@Ghostcrawler So how's your mmo coming along?

@lowtigerr94936 Maybe someday!

@Ghostcrawler Hows ghost greg, game had so much potential, i still have some hope( coping) that i might get to okay it one day!

You may not share this agony if you aren't the kind of person who accidentally mashes L3 + R3 constantly My autocomplete is "How to turn off photo mode for..."

@Faburisu @PreachGaming Fabrice, you are the last hope…

@PreachGaming 👀

Ok everyone, it’s time again. Update your list The Next Big MMO will be: Warhammer online ❌ Aion Online ❌ Matrix Online ❌ Conan Exiles ❌ City of Heroes ❌ Wildstar ❌ Tera Online ❌ Riot MMO v1 ❌ New World ❌ Ashes of Creation ❌ Riot MMO v2 ❓ One day… one day :(

@Puuma_Guy Your boy needs a job

@Ghostcrawler you have been a little bit too quiet

@alex_batista Yes. At least at the time they were not funding additional live service games and wanted smaller games for the Epic store

@Ghostcrawler I know you probably have been asked, but have you reached out to Epic for publishing/funding of the MMO project?

@guilliotine_ @realMax0r the dark gods demand sacrifice

@realMax0r All hail @Ghostcrawler

every single live service game needs a lead dev who goes by a stupid pseudonym so players can pray to him like a dark god and expect no response
