I just don't buy into social stuff. People at work to work. As long as she is treated with respect and provided the same opportunities as everyone else it should be cool. People have different interests and it is totally fine. At our p

I am just confused. I think we might agree that how social women vs men are in the certain age group are relatively constant through time. IE in 60s men is about as social as they are now, but the number of women in STEM decreased through t

Depends on the job, don't think software development can get away with 5hr week. Code needs to be written.

This is a little misleading title. He didn’t crunch for 20 years, but point still valid. Just wondering how much crunch there in game dev vs startup vs FB/Goog/etc.

I am just confused. Why can he write? It is not clear. How does the author know that this letter is not edited/approved by PR and legal? The culture of worshipping CEO sets very low bar on human ambition.

I feel like making a deal between game publisher and movie studio is not an easy process and creatively game publisher would like to have sign off on pretty much everything. Negotiating split and who puts money upfront would be a nightmare.

In terms of production quality, sometimes it takes years of iteration on art side and tech to get the look. You want to nail it down early, but in real life concept artist does the image, artists model and texture the scene and then art dir

Yes and No. When Blizzard makes Overwatch or HotS, they have a good initial idea that it is going to be popular because games of similar gameplay already exist and popular. On top of that when they play internally and if it is fun, they can

This is a good approach. The only downside is that depending on the scope of the game and features involved, the prototype phase can become super expensive. What if the design says, that we are going to have characters talking to each other

The best thing about Civ, that player already has all the concepts from studying history.

They had a demo thing, but a lot of developers didn’t like it. The problem is that their networking layer API sits too high. Like if I want to implement the throw mechanic, I really don’t want to call Improbable.blah. Glen always focuses on

Hmmm, too good of an idea. Going to do it myself.

This is actually very very good. As soon as VR gaming started, people wanted to interact with objects in multiplayer environment. The implementation here is extremely valuable. One can go and just make VR volleyball or any other VR applicat

Just looking on Bungie LinkedIn, they employ 800 employees. Industry standard burn rate per month is 10k. So around 96m a year minimum. They will have tonnes of outsourcing expenses, testing etc etc. So Destiny 2 on 3 year cycle at minimum

Maybe AI is dead too. It needs to get to the point where I have AI assistant which can feed me with the spoon and solve my relationships problems while doing it.

Interviewer was not smart. Games are super positive to have in portfolio, due to them being products with complex architecture and high UX demands. It might be not great for pay, but generally game devs have no trouble landing jobs in non g

The article is correct in principle, but if targeting individuals and mitigate the risks, can be super valuable. Need to have a good strategy in place and funnel. The upside is that graduate is the only level where you can compete with big

"Terminate" is this a word to use when letting go of someone? People should be treated as people first and as a risk second.

This is weird. I just don't know, what does it achieve? If your call someone who is not a founder, during off hours, it is better to be super urgent and means that something went terribly wrong in the management layer. If you flip the
