This is deadass the worst thing any developer has ever said about their own series

[jack @mbjackng]

@footbirl air riders is a lot of fun but you are right about the rest of them don't let anyone tell you otherwise

[jack @mbjackng]

i met my bae on google drive

[jack @mbjackng]

@notskillo word on the street is that they’re actually putting a cap on that soon because gabe newell got bored

[jack @mbjackng]

it’s easy to see this and start dooming if you’re a developer and competition is something you care about but you’ve gotta remember only about 10 games across this whole list are actual playable video games anyways

[jack @mbjackng]

and one of them is Mixtape

[jack @mbjackng]

i like trucks and trains and mac and cheese

[jack @mbjackng]

@FNbunchonumbers because in this specific case i find peoples' reactions to the mechanic and their perceptions of the developers' intentions surrounding the mechanic way more interesting than the mechanic itself, which seems neat and like something i can safely ignore when the game releases

[jack @mbjackng]

given Yacht Club’s track record i’m inclined to believe Mina is probably a perfectly good game without major balance issues but i can understand why people would interpret the devs sticking their neck out this far to appease everyone as a lack of confidence in their own game

[Yacht Club Games @YachtClubGames]

Hoping to make the game easier? Amp up the challenge? Looking to get WEIRD???? 🥸

We’ve got you covered. Mina the Hollower has tons of built-in modifiers that customize your experience from the lenient to the punishing. 💪

What kind of experience are YOU going to craft? 👾

[jack @mbjackng]

@Super_Scoopy i think it's fair to imply that a special amount of effort was devoted to this feature given the first four seconds of the video we're talking about say "THE BIGGEST ASSIST MODE EVER" in giant text and they list several *hundred* of these things but idk anything about game dev

that said arguing about it this much is pointless until it actually comes out and everyone can see for themselves if the game is competent enough without any modifiers!! and i’ve got no real reason to assume Yacht Club would fumble in that department

[jack @mbjackng]

@fletchereps i don’t know where i am

[jack @mbjackng]

@Levi__Ramirez

[jack @mbjackng]

@Nebrok18 1 good game plus expansions is a better track record than about 95% of studios

[jack @mbjackng]

@FlareDancer relax lol

[jack @mbjackng]

@KnightlyPhantom i think it's got potential to be, and probably actually is, a cool feature. i'm just saying that i understand the skepticism some people have about conceding this much to the player

[jack @mbjackng]

@Gyrvatr intent and outcome are two different things

[jack @mbjackng]

@RealSushiiZ

[jack @mbjackng]

@Prosciutto_Man hadn't considered that aspect of it before lol

[yareli @alittleyareli]

concerning amount of people on this app have been revealing that they don't know what the difference between a developer and publisher is
