This screenshot has two things:
- Tears of the Kingdom is using Dear ImGui, which I sort of knew but didn't have public proof of.
- but mostly: Nintendo use tools to track who placed certain objects in the world, in order to facilitate tracking/discussing intent among designers.

@fedalvar What about the 1979 behind the scenes book?

[Pietro Guardini @PietroGuardini]

@Steve_Bromley I worked as an MR and a UR for 4 years. Many differences in tools and approaches. MR: many external reports to read, evaluation based on mock reviews based on features databases, the title's perception was more important (i.e., lots of bulls*)

"The #EldenRing map is vague for a reason"
"You're supposed to feel lost"
"Games shouldn't handhold you"
"Having to use your own notepad is a good thing"
"If you can't remember where NPCs are, the game isn't for you, play something else"

@jwhopson Test Drive 2: the duel by Distinctive Software (merged into EA Canada in 91) did something similar, where red means easy. I like the attutude :-)

[Ian Hamilton @ianhamilton_]

I love the continuous dismantling of the myth that accessibility dilutes creative vision
