Unfortunately, this new season has not yet been greenlighted.
So the creators of the show & Green Street studio produced this concept trailer in-house.

I've always compared it to cooking.

Does THIS dish taste good? Is it too spicy? Does it have too much of one thing?

Balance for an audience who prefers sweets will be different than for another, and leaving to much of one ingredient in will be worse for different customers.

[Rodrigo Alem Fernández @Rod_F]

Game feel is king.
ESPECIALLY in heavily "balance"-dependent games.

Games are much more like music is something that should be more explored. Mostly because the miopic view of "games as movies" has caused enough damage to the medium already.

I was in a publisher meeting all about "Progression" and "Unlockables" and halfway through the lead dev said "What if we just made the game fun?" And the publishers were unable to process that. There was silence, then back to the powerpoint.

A game engine has to help you make the game, for a specific target platform, with features that don't get in the way for you to achieve that, for you to deliver in time and quality.

They are tools, not sports teams. Work with them. Don't be a fan of a screwdriver.

[Rodrigo Alem Fernández @Rod_F]

Couple of days ago I made a video encouraging new gamedevs and those starting new projects to NOT use Unity.

Mostly for the obvious reasons already discussed everywhere.

Mini-thread because...Something interesting happened though...

Today marks the 1st year anniversary of the release of Cartoon Network's last web game: Jump Jousts Jam.

A cross-over fighting game still being played to this day and probably one of the biggest projects of the HTML5 era of the site.
