@bruce_straley @realradec I remember telling you not to worry, there was only a 7% chance the game would crash during the demo

@realradec ☺️😘

Does anyone else remember when the person playing Uncharted 4 at PSX 2014 accidentally died during the demo and had to respawn?

@vaccaro3d it's worth getting through it, as you get better the combat really feels great and quality remains consistent throughout. I absolutely loved HK

Picked up Hollow Knight for the long plane right back home to the US. I don't think I've ever played a more unforgiving and frustrating game in my life. LOVE the style but man I wanted to snap my Switch in half multiple times on the plane 😅

@thegreatbluebit @Gnomon_School Switch to mat cap gray, everything looks better when you turn off the red wax :)

I'm taking a ZBrush sculpting class at @Gnomon_School for fun! Week 1 homework

@evan_wells Evan has been the president of my studio for almost 15 years. In that time, we’ve shipped multiple games of the year, and for every one of those years and games, ND has been a phenomenal place to work. Evan is a huge part of the reason for both. We will miss him!

It’s been an unbelievable 25+ years, but now it’s time for the next generation of Naughty Dog to lead the way. I’m confident the studio is in the best hands…

Conquest is the far superior game mode for Marvel Snap, and makes the game so much better. Unfortunately, it also removes the thing that makes it so addictive (short games).

@kurtmargenau You guys all have better memories than me. I was on a Alaskan cruise, reading online about how the game wasn't properly saving progress. And I was the last person to work on the savegame system so I was pretty sure I'd single handedly destroyed the release of TLOU.

10 years ago today, I was at my 10 year high school reunion back in PA. Went to the local Walmart and saw a TLOU kiosk with a demo and was like damn I worked on that. It’s the kind of “suck it losers” moment everyone hopes for at a reunion except people at my HS were chill lol.

@vinixkun I feel the same way, leveling actually makes me weaker cause my relative fear stays the same. I stopped doing mini quests and optional stuff just so I’d stay lower level. I’m guessing the progression system will feel better post game when you are barely leveling g at all

I’m level 47 in Diablo IV and generally enjoying it, but having a hard time feeling a sense of progression. When I go to the Act I areas, the enemies that were once level 10 there when I was level 10 are now level 47. (1/3)

@GameAnim i'm willing to try it out as soon as you send me a free demo kit!

So our team at Apple has been working on Vision Pro for some time now. It's an incredible piece of kit and I hope everyone gets a chance to try it out. youtu.be/TX9qSaGXFyg

@thegreatbluebit Like why are we dedicating a shoulder button to something that is 99% of the time a "unilateral disarmament" button that you will never actually want to do? Especially when we now have the ability to throw things with arrows and arrows are plentiful!?

@thegreatbluebit yeah, been really frustrating to deal with the controls... they get so much so right in the game, but mechanically there are so many frustrations. I couldn't believe how frequently I was forced to do hand gymnastics to hold multiple buttons

The new Zeldas are so great but geez their control schemes are so complicated. I’ve been playing Tears for several hours and I keep pressing the wrong button at the wrong time

@iki_ikram @Eurovision American's won't watch anything with the word "Euro" in it

Why the Hell isn't @Eurovision aired in the US? This Car wreck of a show should be shared worldwide as a sign of peace!

@jimmiemyers Hard agree

@thedmatts I got to 80s last week, but now everyone sees through my turn 6 galactus deck - climb definitely gets harder in the 70s and 80s, can't even imagine the 90s.

Don’t wanna jinx it but, having my best season yet! 🤞

Series 3 completed this week. Time to have some fun?

@kurtmargenau scalpel kill followed by double headshot execution will always be canon to me

Canon confirmed. If you killed the nurses YOU ARE THE MONSTER.

@bruce_straley Also way easier to finish!

linear games are just easier to make. there. I said it.

@thedmatts I was having fun with an electro sandman deck earlier this season. Sometimes people would stay in when I aero'd on turn 5 thinking they'd be able to win on turn 6. And then you hit them with the Odin on the Aero 😀That was my main 8 cube winner.

Playing a Sandman deck in Snap atm and while I’m definitely winning more, I feel like I’m rarely ending up in the final round. Errybody retreating for some reason. 😈

@Neilan Debating small decisions in a meeting using theorycraft is almost always more time consuming then just putting it in and trying it.

What are some unspoken rules of game dev? My favourite: When someone wants something "half as big", they don't know it yet, but they actually want it 70% as big.

@MaksZhuravlov @NandaIN_1st yeah, we had a functional system with pull doors and there was just no way to make them look good and also feel good (at combat speeds)

@NandaIN_1st @Sashekar What Sandeep says. But also, pull doors are gnarly. You need to get out of their way, thus I have to remove controls longer. Even these push opens above are speed up quite a bit and then polished to conceal it. Pull doors gonna be x2 harder to make look good and as responsive.

I remember when I finished the anim system for TLOU2 combat doors, I thought “Maybe much. But it’s all done now. We have it and we gonna reuse it forever. Cause like what more one can possibly desire from this damned door? Right?“. Oh boy WAS. I. WRONG.

@NandaIN_1st @MaksZhuravlov Non combat doors were sometimes one way, but in combat sections they were always bidirectional because the alternative generally felt way worse to actually play

@MaksZhuravlov damn, speaking about door is there a game that dont have 2 opened side?
