was not too interested in Immortals but this is one of the most interesting PLUS episodes I've heard. I need to go back and search for the other appearance by Jason. i especially found his comment about "7/10 games" interesting where he was asking if its really that significantly different for a 7/10 game to have a $10M budget vs a $50M budget if the end result is 7/10 both times.

2023-11-04 12:53:50 +0000 UTCFascinating discussion. I do think we are going to see a lot more games like Immortals of Aveum. I work as an indie game developer and the tools available for game devs are getting exponentially more accessible. With the advent of generative AI tools for gamedev, this is only going to skyrocket and you are going to see a lot more small-team indie or even solo developers, students even, put out insanely good looking games. Some of these are definitely going to look good but not play well or have depth.

2023-10-25 14:09:58 +0000 UTCGreat discussion gents. You can definitely see how this game fell out of the currect gaming zeitgeist, and it was also flanked by several heavy hitters (Armroed Core VI, Baldur's Gate, Lies of P and now Spider-Man 2) so it stood no chance, sadly. And only being an 'okay' game isn't enough of a justification for people to try it, which is a shame.

Some of them even watched the reveal trailer with me and they still didn't remember it. Something about the title and artstyle of this game made it blend in to even the most hardcore gamers, let alone the average consumer.
