@dannyodwyer @dochess6 What is Spanish food? :P

@Kappische That's 125 less than the Playstation's Edge!

[Fran Avilés @killyklamm]

@jesperjuul That's a very cool looking edition

@oleivarrudi What Remains of Edith Finch?

@catsuka I was also rewatching it recently, but I ended up reading the manga instead because I found the pacing to be much nicer.

@nnlsnn 83% no es muy alto, así que supongo que no es tan unpopular.

@JohnCarca Lo de que sea precuela para mí hace que pierda todo el interés. No necesitaba saber cada segundo de lo que le pasó antes del principio de la otra...
Pero alguna persecución chula, sí.

@Kappische I guess the fact that they're analogue triggers makes me remember what they are the ones with the long travel (since there are no analogue bumpers). Also, well, they look like a gun trigger 😋

@holstingame All games get wishlist deletions. It's common for example during sales periods because people check their wishlist and decide to clean it up.
As long as the balance is positive, it's all good 😊

@JoinDeepRock Oh, the memories...

[Fran Avilés @killyklamm]

@S_Stalhandske I continue with game design, but now mostly have meetings of the time.

[Fran Avilés @killyklamm]

@SanatanaMishra I unfortunately doubt so. The reviews are great, but let's how much it sells...

[Fran Avilés @killyklamm]

@S_Stalhandske Like Jira and others. Most companies would appreciate your experience making games and understand your transition towards producing.
I personally believe the best producers are those who were coders, designers or artists before.

[Fran Avilés @killyklamm]

@S_Stalhandske I don't know because I've never done it. I could ask around to the producers I know. But I can tell you that more than half of it is knowing how games are made and how to break down the process. And I'm sure you already got that.
So maybe try to get familiar with common tools

[Fran Avilés @killyklamm]

@S_Stalhandske For indie studios, I'm sure you'd do well as a general producer. Bigger studios have specialized producers for every department.

[Fran Avilés @killyklamm]

@S_Stalhandske I feel that producing roles are definitely an option. You'll have to be careful, Excel can also hurt! But it's more manageable and, based on my experience, the knowledge you have about how games are actually made will be invaluable for any studio.

[Fran Avilés @killyklamm]

@jgerighty @mikeBithell There was a nice setup so we could play them at the studio for the launch party 🚀

[Fran Avilés @killyklamm]

@CorneliaGeppert Hi Connie! I'd love to talk to you about something related to these positions? Would you mind exchanging a couple of DMs?
