Marathon so good when you don't got a loser yappin bout that SteamDB chart in ya ear

This guy is a walking contradiction, lmao.

Listening to players, figuring out the pain points, and responding to them, not once but over and over and over and over is how you build a brand of player trust and worthy of attention. I'm happy Overwatch is rewarded but more so that the devs did the slow work to earn it.

Player trust isn't something you can just buy into. It takes a long period of proven commitment and the attention to delivering a great gameplay experience. It's a tough expectation for any game, especially a competitive one to be perfect on release and changes take time.

I want to talk about Overwatch and why it's recent explosion has actually been a slow multi-year journey🧵

What game you were convinced the NPCs were smarter than they actually were? Let me know below or reach out to talk! I always love the "good" type of AI. Like or repost if otherwise you enjoyed. 😊

Alien, Hitman, and Rain World each solve wildly different design problems, but they share the same invisible truth: the creature you're watching is only the performer. The real work is happening backstage, in systems players will never see, making sure the show never breaks.

What Alien: Isolation, Hitman, and Rain World teach us about why the best game AI are the ones that cheat.🧵
