CEO @ Rightsized Games. Puns in English and sometimes Swedish.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

Rightsized Games is a name derived from the all too rare understanding that it's possible to add features, content and complexity to a game and end up making it worse in the process.

Scope is not quality.

Quality is quality.

Primer vistazo al logo europeo y japonés de Xenoblade Genesis:

Kampen fortsätter.

Tack @Victor_Sjostrom! Originalet är typ en favorit på riktigt.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

@ChampRDS The way this is worded, you'd think the wife was a rental.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

Only today, many years after actually working at Rare, did the title "Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts" finally click. It's right up there with "Bigger, Longer and Uncut".

If anyone else is still confused, it's probably better that way.

This should be part of every curriculum.

Condolences to everyone at Epic.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

@PompiPompi Getting Stonekeep vibes. Good luck, can't wait to play it.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

@PeterP_1985 @RE_Games You will want to change one thing, I promise. It'll be the same thing as everyone else. 😊

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

@podopriguez Guaranteed spend for potential recoup is risk by definition - I don't understand why some people seem to think that ROI is in any way guaranteed in the games industry. Or any, for that matter.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

@FreyaHolmer Really cool toy. The best games have one at their core. Respect.

[Peter @PeterP_1985]

Horror games scare you?

DLSS 5 got your back

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

I'm pretty proud of having accidentally coined the phrase "Stock Photo Realism".

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

Okay. So. The reason that the picture on the left doesn't look like the one on the right IS NOT that the devs didn't know how do it. It's because they chose not to. Overriding that choice to instead try to achieve some sort generic stock photo realism is gross. No thanks, DLSS5.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

@SquaredApe "Cargo cult game design" typically only works by accident. As you say, if you don't truly understand the mechanics, you won't know when and when not to use them.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

@Serellan Guaranteed. In fact, I'd wager that the devs and publishers that have the highest hit rates are also the ones that are quickest to identify dead end prototypes that no amount of effort will turn into full, high quality games, and never tell anyone they were ever being made.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

@ZoidCTF @CallMeTasteless Same. I was so sure it was cheating somehow.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

@gynaeceum @KarlbergErik Stämmer när det kommer till annat också. Största genierna och kretinerna är alla män.

[Doru Apreotesei @RightsizedDoru]

In my head canon, he was the one on the phone in the flashback.

[Chris Bischoff - Animal Use Protocol @StasisGame]

I think we can all agree on who the REAL villain of Resident Evil Requiem is.
