Respectfully, gamedevs should not be "rockstars"

Sometimes that pedestal is way too high, as attested by many high functioning and former alcoholics

Spending my afternoon listening to composers talking about what inspires certain soundtracks they've worked on. I love just how much of this involves crate digging for older music and narrowing down the tone first and finding elements to support the foundation of a score.

i think about how a lot of chuds 10 years ago moaned about DEI quotas and bullshit in the workplace, that was not absolutely not a thing in North America. That was something so many people fought so hard for because the discrimination and workplace abuse was insane.

just one of those things you have to have solidified before any social media presence

indecision is killer for any studio

The silliest part about concept art is how invisible it really is until it's finally in a book or promo materials - or if we're really lucky, in game assets.

Assuming we make it to launch and do numbers.

that makes you a better teammate as well

and not every studio will have someone they can pawn off implementation tasks to, so that means learning game engines

probably, they just left it up to players to decide whatever they wanna do with those, but didn't add any ui organization to sort things by the markers

playing silksong reminded me why open world games have journals and quest logs.

it's fine to just yolo your way through exploring pharloom but the second you open up notepad to make a list of shit you haven't done yet

then you're like OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

but also gamers don't like their hands held
