Andy Lunique ➡️ Develop Brighton

I've been laid off by EA. Let's talk about it. If you're an indie team looking for work with the creator space, I'm happy to help.

@EvolveTom This looks fire

We gots keys, fam! Game's sitting at 94% positive on Steam so far!! Hit us up.

Atari used to make a video game consoles and exclusive cartridges...until they didn't Mattel did the same...until they didn't Namco & Acclaim dominated the arcade for nearly 15 years, that's not true anymore Things change. Players change. There is still time to see new companies rise...and fall

@Gothalion .... Have you ever played Devil May Cry 5

Dog I dunno what to play leading up to GCX. Gonna dig into EverQuest Legends after the 28th but ye

@EleniExp @ASHLEYakaASHLEY @AustenMarieTV @bloodyfasterTV Seeing this many S tier folks in my thread is overwhelming as it is. If you're going to burn out, make sure you set something on fire. Then recover

@InGameMenu @ASHLEYakaASHLEY @AustenMarieTV Marketing girlies 🤝amazing art @bloodyfasterTV is part of this too soon. It's going to be so good Andy. 👀 Am I maybe going to burn out trying to juggle everything? Yes. She is crazy but she is free.

So I'm making a game with @AustenMarieTV and this is what our v professional discord chat looks like

@moblordTV @KraigLooney Exactly one year out probably maybe less but I would be interested to see if it out sells the console side.

@InGameMenu @KraigLooney No matter what, there will be people who say GTA6 is a disappointment. The expectations and hype are not able to be completely met and everyone will have an opinion. My only negative opinion right now is the lack of a PC port but I'm sure I'll get one eventually.

...............What if GTA 6 is bad?

@EleniExp @ASHLEYakaASHLEY @AustenMarieTV Knowing how your mind work this is gonna be awesome. She's the reason I got into webtoons

@ASHLEYakaASHLEY @AustenMarieTV Yess!! Also I miss you! It's a dating sim/visual novel. Think The Arcana mixed with Hades! Aka Greek gods and goddesses...and it’s v gay!

@EleniExp I have a pavlovian reaction to this game when it comes to you.

😭 we are SO BACK

In my experience whenever an industry decides to price out the lower price customers, those individuals end up finding alternatives and the creatives end up creating for that group. Ultimately the corporations never really succeed in making a product that doesn't serve the community that built it.

I really worry that a lot of people will get priced out of gaming with used games going away with discs. I know when I was younger, I would never have been able to afford some games at full price. Used games were a saving grace.

@PR_Flak Make that a T-shirt

@InGameMenu Everything is comms

Based on my inbox, it's a good time to remind people that while I work on a lot of franchises at EA -- I do not work on sports games. ✌️

@KraigLooney @moblordTV I remember the sentiment around Red Dead being the game felt like work because they were too focused on realism that the fun was hard to find. It's why they have such a low completion rate on their games

@moblordTV @InGameMenu Honestly, being "mid" might be just as negative as being "bad" for GTA 6...

@moblordTV Well failing isnt quite the same as bad though. Like lots of folks will be there day 1, doing all the GTA things. All the details, all the guns, driving and story, but I am curious if the expectations are so high they are unmeetable

@InGameMenu I've had that thought. But... It's too big to fail. I mean, it could still fail, but it's so big that it'll take down a huge portion of the industry with it if it does. So it can't be bad. They just can't allow it to be actually bad. The worst it can be is mid.

One take @jasonschreier back at it again. What makes his videos hit for me is his ability and skill to speak on topics and situations that A LOT OF US simply can't speak up on. For the arm chair game analyst who think they understand what's going on, or folks who genuinely want to get insight on the good bad ugly of games, check these out youtu.be/6y3Gx_Aw2Oo?is…

Don't get me wrong it's not their track record and they certainly have plenty to assume otherwise but... Could you even imagine it?

@GrandadGaming_ Yes it was! It was a gorgeous walk

@InGameMenu That Leate Street tunnel? Painted there a few times BITD!

Seen in London. Brilliant work #Doomsdayiscoming

Vouch. Truth is it's been around and is loved as much as it is because of the investment needed, but it's so forgiving when you return. If you have to play alot of titles for work it's fair to not have the ability, but if you can dedicate the hours and break through you won't regret it

@nickjcal the @xiFlynn beginner guide is great for new/returning players. Was a huge help when I came back to the game after years.

Every time I think about getting into Warframe I just feel completely lost lol.

@TheCartelDel Plenty of those folks exist, they just aren't online talk about it lol

I hate how nobody enjoys BAD videogames anymore. Back in the day, we used to play the hell out of straight garbage titles would have so much fun. Anyone remember the good garbage?

@Bryanneod237 @PlNKWithAnL ^^ I think we had Tem Tem, and MH stories not even got close and they were both under scrutiny from Nintendo. This is genuinely a renaissance of the genre and the other games that have suddenly emerged show it. I think the industry is better for it.

@PlNKWithAnL @InGameMenu Survival I can see but monster taming? Pffft, it's Palworld itself that opened up that gate and now we're in a semi-renaissance of monster taming games popping out consistently

I hope the industry finally stops learning all the wrong lessons from games like this. 1) Early access means early opportunity to play and feedback, not a kickstarter 2) Do strange things and listen to community feedback 3) Build what you believe in not a trend 4) Celebrate your team and community
