Ah crap. Just when I was getting hyped for Forza. They couldn't stop at 2, they had to add 3 Body Types. And the female "type" is barely indistinguishable from the male. It's a goal: Total erasure of biology to support radical ideologies.

Stormwind was the first city we ever built. Our lead programmer had it load and play the song "We built this city" to our surprise when we first loaded in. The first version of Stormwind had no districts or canals. The framerate was below terrible. Then I thought of Venice. I grabbed a map of the city and slapped it down on the table the next morning. THIS, I said, is how we'll partition the city, drawing only the district you can see, separated by canals. It worked, and Stormwind was born.

Do you remember the feeling? It was magical, even for us devs. That sound of the bowstring, the colors. We knew we had something special. We all played the game as it launched, which is rarer than you think for game devs. It's another sign that you did it.

Nausicaa had a deep influence on so many. What a vivid world. - 1984 film directed by Miyazaki and based on his manga. - He started the manga for the express purpose of getting interest in a movie. - This was actually not a Ghibli film. Ghibli was founded after this. - 263 colors were huge, a huge number at the time. - There is a real life version of the Mehve glider, project OpenSky, and it works. Don't watch the 1985 US version, which was butchered and called "Warriors of the Wind"

The situation with Black Myth: Wukong is disgusting. They cite IGN and consulting companies such as SBI as part of a shakedown racket of 7 MILLION in fees. Here's how it all works, as SBI Founder Kim Belair explains: "If they don't see the value of what you're asking for, for when you ask for consultants...and just terrify them with the possibility of what's going to happen if they don't give you what you want." Here is the whole web of people who support each other and make this shakedown happen: Sweet Baby Inc. - "Hire us or else." Reporters - Support the racket by writing hit piece articles, and run defense for the consulting companies. Play down the racket as a conspiracy theory. Alyssa Mercante - Writes hit piece on @kabrutusrambo for exposing Sweet Baby's long list of ruined games. Rebekah Valentine - Defends Alyssa and writes hit piece article on Wukong, leading to the shakedown. Jason Schreier - Gaslights you when it is all exposed, saying it's a "Hallucination" and isn't happening. It sure seems like its all part of a multi-million dollar racket. In fact, DEI and DEI consulting is a HUGE industry (see my post about the Activision Blizzard report). They call us Grifters but they are the ones making bank. Wukong directly cites the IGN hit piece article by Rebekah Valentine, as well as companies similar to Sweet Baby Inc, as being behind the 7 Million dollar extortion attempt.

Silver Palace lets you endless loop the QTE events. They really know their audience. Western studios will never dare. How much money are AAA studios leaving on the table because they would rather virtue signal?

Yeah, it was like that... We had a problem with the Undead in China. Showing bones through skin was considered too graphic for their laws, so we had to cover them up. This was the biggest and most complex project ever at Blizzard, and we did it with just 60 people.

David Jaffe, Creator of God of War, reacts to the reveal of GOW: Laufey. "That looks like shit...reminds me of Forspoken" "So uninsipired, so dull." "It's dead. That game is not going to do well." David is gonna get a lot of crap for this, so props for him calling it. But he's gonna get a call. And a lot of pressure from his "just consume the female protagonist" audience and circle of friends. I'm really curious what he says about it again in a couple of days.

Antifa is now kickstarting games? and it's already funded $14,940 and climbing. "Antifacist Tooth Fairy" is "more than a game, it's an act of resistance." The game features tokens obviously representing MAGA, ICE and political figures. - Includes "Teeth tokens" so you can punch Nazis and collect their teeth. - Board covered in Antifa iconography. - Avoid incarceration and charges or lose the game. - Provide Mutual Aid to your Comrades. - Comes in a box that looks like a brick. Created by anonymous developer E.V. Debs (look it up for the reference) Backers get access to an exclusive discord channel and ability to post on the AFTF subreddit. This game would seem to go against Kickstarter TOS for glorifying violence and extremist groups (Antifa has been declared a domestic terror group by Trump's executive order): KS Rules: "We do not support projects that promote, glorify, incite, or threaten violence or other illegal acts. This includes hateful content, incitement, violent threats, glorification of violence, extremist content, and symbols, slogans, or terms that are associated with hateful rhetoric or violent ideologies." Now here is what I think: Games like this should exist BUT...we all know that Twitch and Kickstarter and Patreon never enforce their own rules equally. If this were a game about throwing rocks at the "woke" you know Kickstarter would take it down immediately. And now that all the casual violence has lead to actual violence, assassinations and deaths, it's time to stop letting your TOS slip by just cause it's a "joke."

Wuthering Waves is doing their crossover with Cyberpunk Edgerunners. They also did this Developer Deep Dive on their channel today. What struck me was how Western Devs don't talk like this anymore: - We need to push harder for better optimization and compatibility. - We always want to bring you a better game experience. The whole interview is like this, about delivering what gamers want. The focus on the gamer is relentless. Western interviews tend to be more about "what WE wanted to do" which is more dev as storyteller focus and "if you don't like it don't play it."
