AI and procedural generation are and always will be just another tool to help developers make their vision come to life quicker, cheaper or with less crunch. It still requires skilled talent to build and operate and use as a foundation to create something marvelous.

Lets be honest I have learned so much through the whole process of releasing a game. Its like every day has been a school day. 🎥Link: https://lnkd.in/dXhZHheH #TrailerTuesday #indiegame #indie #madewithunity #RPG #PCGame #ActionRPG

Post-mortem for Suicide Squad: To quote Abraham Lincoln in 1864, don't change horses in mid-stream. (And pick the right horse for the right ride) "I do not allow myself to suppose that either the convention or the League have concluded to decide that I am either the greatest or best man in America, but rather they have concluded that it is not best to swap horses while crossing the river, and have further concluded that I am not so poor a horse that they might not make a botch of it in trying to swap." Never in the history of gaming are there so many professionals (and teams) with decades of specific platform and genre experience. 1. If you're going to create a billion dollar franchise or enter a new category, pick a team that's done it before. 2. Test the concept quantitatively and qualitatively with your core audience. Use benchmarks to determine potential. 3. As soon as the game is announced, start capturing and tracking gamer fan analytics and sentiment (e.g., Steam, Reddit, YouTube). 4. Read comments such as: "The company that made perhaps the best 3D Metroidvania game ever... [is] now making a generic looter shooter." 5. Game delays (especially those in conjunction with fan backlash) is a huge red flag. 6. Sometimes a launch delay can't save a game. Test to see. 7. If you're doing a closed beta for a game and incorporate the correct methodology and metrics, you should be able to predict a game's success/failure before it launches. 8. If you have concerns, you can follow up with additional quantitative and qualitative research (e.g., tracking survey, in-person playability sessions). 9. These findings need to be reported concisely and clearly in a timely way to management. (They may not want to believe it, but that's cognitive dissonance.) P.S.- It is never a good sign when you have mainstream media such as Men's Journal concerned about your game quality before launch. Links in comments. This makes me very sad for all of the game makers and fans involved. #gamedev #videogames #warnerbros #suicidesquad #postmortem
