Je ne vois pas comment ce jeu peut être "tenu" avec un cycle de dev aussi long mais l'ado qui rêvait de dogfight avec les Killrathi de moi espère toujours 🥲🚀

Oui je pensais à toi j'étais sur que tu allais instantanément m'en sortir 10 😅 mais je pensais au point très spécifique des cutscenes lives qui ajoutait un charme incroyable à la série des wing commander, et qui est devenu rarissime dans le jeu vidéo (tout genre confondu)
Jamais compris pourquoi le genre space opera avait disparu avec Wing Commander Prophecy. Allez hop ça fait 20 ans c'est le moment de faire revenir le genre ! avec des cutscenes live ! et des gros vaisseaux 🚀https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ozEgN6yomM
I haven't been through the onboarding :myself but here's what I'd need
- offer reassurance on confidentiality
- reach critical mass of offer & demand
- ultimately transfer infrastructure costs on publishers in a "fixed costs approach" (rather than % of deal, which is a PITA to track anyway)
A very promising and overdue UK based initiative : "pitch processing platform" is being launched pitchify.games Mismatched pitches to publishers is a huge waste of time, morale and energy for everyone. Board & founders look legit, and I like what I see ✨
You mean use of GenAI is increasing in Asia ? Or maybe it's being adopted in a more focused and pragmatic way rather than vague broad announcements to appease shareholders who are angry at western titans from yesterday ?
I’m ok lagging a bit behind constant flow of news (+we still have you and Jason ‘breaking’ Schreier 🫡), it helps cut through the noise. Less redundancy in tweets. Less distractions. Less far-right. No ads. Although I sometimes miss twitter of olde, the mental cost has just become too high now.

Childhood - Online multiplayer AAA
Adulthood - Indie single player games
Dawn - Dunno maybe Tetris
Wait till they propose to animate your loved ones with GenAI. Silicon Valley is literally a nation-sized alambic to select and refine the most sociopathic bros, how can we expect them to care about such impacts
Me too ! That’s today, and I’ve probably already spent two hours answering clients, managing emergencies and even though I delegated admin stuff I still need to forward SMS validation codes 😑 Wasn’t there a saying « Love your work and even your holidays will feel like work » 😅 Make the most of it !
Wow I didn't know you painted figs !! You have a great setup 🫡 never managed to get into it, but I always wanted to. Now Gundam Assemble is around the corner 🐦🔥 NEED TO RESIST can't play both magic and that
Looks very promising ! A new open source langage « Loreline » for interactive fiction, designed to be as closed as possible from natural language ⭐
💯when content goes infinite, trust in prescriptors becomes fundamental. I believe this is the way forward for lots of media
Today mark the launch of Gamevestor, a new crowd equity platform for game development.
This is a project that is particularly close to my heart and I'm proud to join as an investor and board director.
www.gamevestor.co
I initially was approached for financial consulting, and became advisor because I believe in the core team and the mecanisms. Arthur & Ivan, and many of their board advisors, come from game production and have a very indie-respectful angle. Obv we'll see if there's a market but it's worth trying 🤞
Game project financing crowdfunding platform is live ! www.gamevestor.co/en
(Disclaimer : I am an advisor)
I love it ! It's very system heavy and there are lots of QoL elements that are really appreciated. It's also quite difficult. I play in Lunatic, which is interesting because it trivializes grinding, but caps your level for bosses which makes each boss a puzzle.
Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.
✅ Heterogeneity of premium market (indies vs AA/AAA) with segments behaving very differently
✅ New IP creation vs IP reuse dynamics, because IP lose appeal over time, wide geographies and generations.
It's still a huge corpus of work and data, a benchmark for plenty of investors and a must-read.
Although he somewhat admits the complexity of the market and the shortcomings of his report, I believe by focusing on macroeconomics he misses several important changes :
✅ Disruption in financing and distribution, eg new actors and breakdown of publishing role
Maybe expectations were too high, but I found his market report slightly disappointing. There's a lot of fluff on geographies and that could have been easily summarized in one trend that's been brewing for years in every industry : Asia is becoming the biggest production & consumer market.
✅Rise of ads business models. Personally I don't buy into this one, it's a recurring prediction that doesn't meaningfully materialize outside of mobile.
✅ Rise of D2C (direct to consumer) spending, bypassing monopolistic store fees. AT EFFING LAST.
✅ Games are losing war of attention agains short vids, iCasinos, pornography, AI apps and betting. Mostly men (DUH). Each of those markets is increasing fast. This is one big depressing conflation I don't agree with, but until AI takes our job, free attention has plateau-ed a few years ago.
✅ Consistent with DICE feedbacks : multi-million dollars funding only attainable for studios with track record, proven genres and IPs at the same time.
✅ Design for low-tech and smartphones (if only for RAMpocalypse)
✅ Hiring returns but mass transfer of jobs to lower cost markets
✅ Rise of outsourcing for cost & flexibility reasons
✅ New PC/Console games get only 4 to 7% of total playtime
Key take-aways from "Matthew Ball's yearly game market report"
✅Market is shy of $200Bn and growth is slow at best
✅Humans play less
✅Most of the growth has been captured by Roblox & Chinese studios/consumers
✅Western giants of yesterday will keep on suffering
