Game Designer + Artist / Runs @medallion_games / Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines OUT NOW: store.steampowered.com/app/2278790/Gr…
- Once had a job interview for a game design position where they gave me a sheet of paper and asked me to come up with 3 game ideas in 30 minutes and then pitch them. In the end I didn't get the job. They said 'these ideas don't seem very well thought through' no duh
- Replying to @JoGribbinI think of game design as a problem-solving discipline and not being 'the ideas person who comes up with things'. Seems weird to ask for that.
- Square Enix selling their western studios for 300 million so they can 'invest in blockchain' is very funny to me. Like selling your house for magic beans.
- Replying to @JoGribbinThe real clincher was the CEO said 'yeah were trying to hire someone to do all the work I can't be bothered to do' then as soon as he left the room (halfway through the interview because he was busy !!) Someone asked me 'how well do you deal with difficult personalities?' !!!
- love seeing an article called 'top ten underrated indie games' and stuff like Binding of Isaac is on there.
- I've never worked in the AAA space but I just don't understand how you can have hundreds of employees, millions of dollars, like 5 years of development time, and not being able to make one sci-fi shooter game.Microsoft's Perfect Dark reboot is reportedly in "a very rough state" and a "big, protracted mess" eurogamer.net/microsofts-per…
- I see people say 'this game feels like a ps2 game' a lot and I think they just mean 'has a clearly defined beginning middle and end'
- Replying to @JoGribbinMany times I think back on things that happened in this industry and wish I'd been ruder.
- Replying to @JoGribbinSome responses to this saying 'maybe they were trying to steal your ideas' and I don't think so. This was a mobile game company that made cooking / farming sims. idk how useful 'what if a dog had a grappling hook' would be to them.
- Replying to @ToadsanimeShould have just written 'GTA with crafting' and watched them lose their minds 😎
- I laughed when he named all the indiest indies he had played and it was like... Hollow Knight, Celeste, Cuphead... Some of the most popular video games of the past 10 years
