Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

All it does is put a name to the people under the guild app itself. They explain it as mine being the "parent" application and the other 50 being "child" applications. |

Good luck to you. I still wake up screaming a couple of times a month from NetDevil beta related PTSD. Holy FUCK did Auto Assault blow.

Good question. Still looking forward to it. I need a game to distract me from my cripplingly boring life.

Interesting interview with NetDevil here http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=19479We really feel like, to be honest, when you go to beta is when you launch. You have to have that approach. It can't crash. The framerate's got to be good. It's got to be simple. The download's got to be small. All of these things add up to losing players. We've tried to make sure that...I'm hoping that beta's not about bugs and crashing servers. It's about balance. |

Saw an interview with PC gamer last month where they said Jumpgate is ready to go now but they are sitting down and tweaking the hell out of it. I'm paraphrasing from memory here but what he said was something like
"Making games is all I know. If this fails I thats it. We decided that we have to make this great or theres no point"

We've tried to make sure that...I'm hoping that beta's not about bugs and crashing servers. It's about balance. Here is the part that grabbed me in that. And I think now what we're trying to say is, "If we can't do it great, let's just not do it yet," and we'll focus on a smaller features set enough where we feel like it's going to be a full game experience. I mean, you've got auction and mail and all the stuff you would expect from an MMO, but like you said, there's no getting out of your ship and there's no walking around. There's no hanging out in the space bar, which sounds really cool and fun, but it's sort of beyond the scope of what we can do for the first version.
Our goal here is to get something out there that people love enough that we can continue to build it for a long, long time. If it turns out that avatars is what everybody wants, then that's what we'll do next. Or if flying down on planets is what everybody wants, then that's what we'll do next. We'll just go whichever way people want it to go once we bring it live. I will hold them to that. |

This stood out to me: Iteration is a huge buzzword right now, but it's also a very important concept, because people are finding that they're able to create much more polished game experiences through quickly iterating on their ideas.
SB: For instance, just getting someone to successfully, in a blind test, sit down and play the first mission and succeed - I thought in four or five iterations, we'd figure out all this stuff and be able to take it from there. It took over a hundred. It took a hundred times of, "Oh, they're confused here. Maybe we should bring this help popup a little bit sooner, or maybe those two came up too soon, so they ignored the second one."
It's that kind of little stuff - like when they want to equip, one person double-clicks and expects it to equip. One person drags and drops and expects it to equip. So you have to support all of those modes. It's that kind of little things you can't put as a bullet point on a box, but I think that's all the difference in the world between a great play session and a game you don't play anymore. We've spent a lot of time working on those kinds of details. |

Yay, Agile Development wtf. Now the question is, are they really doing agile development or some bastard devil grown version hacked up at a cocktail party while hyped up on coke?

They made Auto Assault. They can't afford coke.
So it's obviously crack.

... can i get in? No If it's anything like the previous Jumpgate or Auto Assault, you can just go dive into a pile of rusty metal scraps with sharp edges smeared with human feces. You will get the same experience as the beta testers. |
