What kind of effects do preordering and preloading have on the dev team? (Spoiler: Not huge effects directly on the dev team, but there are some) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/793864786…
A youtuber made a video about how Stop Killing Games probably won't achieve its goals, but will still possibly prevent companies from pushing in this direction. Do you think this will work? (Spoiler: Probably not, it's still about incentives) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/793683439…
Do AAA studios/publishers pay attention to big indies? (Spoiler: Yes) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/793592614…
The Diablo team at Blizzard has unionized. Three down, two to go. askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/793230309…
Don't most games need a solid plan to get the green light? If that's true, why were so many games in preproduction cancelled if they were on plan? (Spoiler: Internal projects don't start at that point) askagamedev.tumblr.com/79304916941902…
Why don't more games use orthographic cameras? (Spoiler: Because our eyeballs see in perspective, so that's what we expect) askagamedev.tumblr.com/79295839559655…
Are the expensive Collector's Edition games an overreach by the marketing team? (Spoiler: Nah, they're cheap to produce) askagamedev.tumblr.com/79286774127412…
Does it seem like most AAA games are getting delayed? (Spoiler: No, but the news might fool you into thinking that) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/792596059…
Is it true that canned animations between two characters lead to less clipping issues? (Spoilers: Yes, but they cost more to build and can only be performed under specific circumstances) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/792505453…
What actually happens during emergency maintenance? (Spoiler: Usually it's applying an emergency security patch of some kind, but sometimes it's an act of God at a data center) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/792414909…
After all these layoffs and studio closures, have higher-level decisions changed? Will AAA gaming stabilize any time soon? (Spoiler: Yes, but what players see is always delayed by a couple of years) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/792324281…
When a character in a game is "invincible", what does that actually mean? (Spoiler: It mostly depends on what kind of responses to input like damage we actually add) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/792233830…
How do you stop infinite combos from happening in games where you constantly add content? (Spoiler: You don't, you add counterplay) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/791599485…
What's the oddest or most unique reason a project got cancelled? (Spoiler: The guy in charge died) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/791327740…
What are some reasons why games are cancelled? (Spoiler: There's reasons because of the project and reasons bigger than the project) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/791147444…
I want to make a 2D RPG for my first game. What engine should I use? (Spoiler: Probably RPG Maker) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/791056025…
Thoughts on Magic: The Gathering becoming an IP grab bag? (Spoiler: It is a little sad, but it's a reminder to keep products at emotional arm's length) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/790693477…
What did you think you would do as a game dev while you were in school and how does that differ from what you actually do? (Spoiler: I totally thought I would be the idea person until I actually started doing it as a hobby) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/790602967…
What kind of software do game devs normally use beyond Visual Studio? (Spoiler: Often some of these - Jira, Perforce, Excel, some kind of instant messenger) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/790512413…
Why don't more games take advantage of features like sampler feedback streaming? (Spoiler: Usually it's either because we're supporting (old) hardware that doesn't have that feature or it isn't on most of our target platforms) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/790421908…
