Flow and pacing are two main words of #GameDesign – and PUBG lost them over time, here's how:

Here's how game developers fail in making good #UIUX for PC keyboards and gamepads and what can be done to fix it:

The folks behind the first successful mobile shooter game (Shadowgun), are making tactical PC game on #UE5:

Meet GTA VI: a typical Bonnie and Clyde story, but they have in-game social media. The whole thing looks abstract and too generic. Will see how it will unwrap in later trailers!

The trailer is supposed to be published tomorrow, but it was leaked on Twitter which forced Rockstar to keep up 😑

Microsoft released their famous Windows 10 wallpaper in GTA VI design 😳

It seems that the game is available on Steam and you can wishlist it now!

Only 36% of games are bought for their full price, because 75% of players believe that AAA prices are too high.

Two raw games are also top selling ones.

The Day Before is an exceptionally well sold project for a previously unknown studio (4000+ reviews, 13% positive, 38K online), but you can't actually play it because there are not enough servers — the company wasn't ready to scale up that big.

Rogue Trader is a typical Owlcat studio RPG with nice details and features, but also game-breaking bugs that will be patched out in a month or two. And it sold fewer copies (141 review, 90% positive, 28K online).

Oh, and how about TGA 2023?

The most inspiring announcement is an endless #Procedural #RPG on a planetary scale map (from the creators of No Man's Sky):

When Ubisoft is scared to launch their XDefiant for years, Embark is kicking with The Finals: the game with fully destructible environments and three teams per battle seems fresh enough to gather 200K simultaneous players on Steam alone.

It seems that Bethesda is trying to avoid #GameDesign Documents (which explains a lot):

It's unbelievable, but the studio behind the day before is shutting down after selling hundreds of thousands of copies. They announced on Twitter that the game is somehow a financial failure and there are no more funds to keep the company up.

This sounds extremely sketchy: they already shut down previous games and want to do it again. But it doesn't look like a commercial loss from the outside, instead it seems like a cash out strategy to run away with the money.

The game is no longer available for purchase on Steam.

And here's the explanation of the deeper issue: it seems that up to the certain point there was no game (only cinematics) and the game is actually asset flip created in way shorter time than they previously announced.
