@grizzpierce maybe cynicism at work here, but how else does one respond to getting tasked with writing for a film/series with an explicit directive of entering pop culture

like i assume the irony is a coping mechanism on behalf of the folks having to write it. maybe thats still Capital lol

It's with a heavy heart that we announce that FEZ II has been cancelled and is no longer in development. We apologize for the disappointment

I've open-sourced Anodyne 2: Return to Dust!!
Come see how we made this unique 2D-3D adventure. Links below!

really the (optimistic?) lesson is that if polish was just a way to mask better and become palatable (to publishers seeking live service RLs???), thats no longer something that matters
just let the jagged stuff out because that niche is probably the only thing that'll save a game

[tuckie @bwuhhh]

it does seem like 'polish' in games has really grown alongside tools improving, the actual importance of a general sense of polish has kind of just disappeared

[tuckie @bwuhhh]

seeing a couple of the original big indie games try to re-enter the market and just flop,
or also just wondering why a lot of the devs i used to really look up to have completely disengaged,
makes me feel pretty daft for not seeing more of this stuff sooner
