Siddharth writes- "“Video games are the epitome of the artistic medium” is a statement that speaks for itself; no other form of media is as interactive, engaging or consistent. So what’s a better example than indie games to drive that point home AKA the brainchildren of the ever-growing pocket of the games industry that’s always striving to one-up itself in terms of innovative game design and storytelling.
Which brings me to the game to be discussed today: Transistor. This cult-classic action RPG by the wizards at Supergiant Games is one of the few gems out there that end up being a truly unforgettable experience, despite some glaring stumbles and flaws."
Insider Gaming has learned that Void Interactive, the developers of Ready or Not, have had 4TB of data stolen in massive breach that includes all of the game's source code, including console builds.
Been keeping my eye on this game for a while but never took the plunge and bought it because it seems to get a lot of stick from the community that the devs are all talk and no action. They’ve been promising an awful lot but not actually releasing anything new so maybe an easy way out??
Guess they weren't ready.
It does suck though to see all your hard work be dumped out there like that hopefully the studio recovers
Danish from eXputer: "FromSoftware and Larian Studios have shown that a good workplace environment is what it really takes to make good games."
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
