"oh shit, it's been 6 months since our last blog post, push something beneign out about our engine"
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 "oh shit, it's been 6 months since our last blog post, push something beneign out about our engine"
i assume its this
I think they could make an interesting devlog series, about actual gamedev, without having to show code or progress
just talke about ideas and concepts
I agree this is a weird topic for one
they're going to have to enlist every Discord janny in existence
Paradox canceled their Sims clone
which is amazing, because Paradox never cancels shit
I think they knew if they pushed out another early access game (this was supposed to launch in EA this Summer/Fall) they were going to damage their brand
it was being made by the lead Sims 2/3 dev, and his little indie studio
who imo lacked the talent to make actual games
This is just unprofessional. The game was almost 2 weeks from release - with weekly videos, collabs with YouTubers, and many more blog posts - now it's cancelled with not much of a reason why, except for whatever corporate lingo the studio used. This is unprofessional and gross and I feel very disappointed in Paradox as a studio and as a company. The least they could do is give an explanation why all this is happening. I made a similar post when the game was delayed, but people were quick to immediately defend the company and even harass me. But I feel like being angry that there wasn’t much communication to begin with is fair.
sorry, my mistake
it was supposed to launch in 2 weeks
that's somehow even more impressive
the dev team just genuinely lacked talent
idk how to overcome that
bring in support studios ig, but it was already a small indie/AA outfit
Solution: Make up for talent with passion
ngl, it being 2 weeks from release changes it in my mind a bit
it's one thing to cut out 6-9 months of dev on a doomed project
but fuck, how does something get 2 weeks from release, and then canceled
if anything, I think I'd rather just allow the studio to self-publish it at that point, without the Paradox name
can't make this shit up

Idk if anyone would be interested in Crime Boss:Rockay City. The single player is an over arching territory war with missions that are like payday, only better. Multi is just the missions. Dlc is free until july 11th

I saw that on the new releases list
and didn't really know what it was
While I've heard the joke that it was a hollywood money-laundering scheme, as there's lot of big actor names as the main characters, and all but one of them phoned it in. It's unironically a good game
was also an epic exclusive for just over a year, that's why there's already dlc
