I am extremely proud of my team. Everyone paused their personal projects last Friday to start working on something new & fairly high risk together... takes a lot of trust and commitment to do something like that in UEFN where timing is key, you all rock!! 🫶

wouldn't it be awesome if all that money you spent on Genshin wasn't stuck with mihoyo (sorry, "hoyoverse"), and you could instead recover some, all, or more than you spent and use it in Lost Ark or another game?

Today is my last day at Hi-Rez Studios. Back in 2012, I was casting SMITE from my home in the Midwest. Fast-forward to 7 years later, and Hi-Rez has grown in ways I could have never imagined. About 9x the employees (over 450!), more games with esports, multiple internal studios.

@fatalis1001 @BLUEPROTOCOL Live service games rely on constant updates to retain players. When everyone outside Japan is 6+ months behind waiting on the latest announcement from the Japanese version, they will quit and move on. Lots of examples of this: Lost Ark, Tower of Fantasy, Blade & Soul, etc.

ICYMI, if you’re wondering why so many major Genshin content creators are not participating in the wings promotion, it’s because the legal contract was actually insane — one area I’m well qualified to comment on. I’m quite certain miHoYo would be embarrassed if it ever leaked.

❓ in #dragonspire , each Saga has its own art set (e.g. Grasslands). But as you play thru 50 "rooms," it starts to feel repetitive. How to solve? ⭐️ Our plan — rotate D1/N1/D2/N2 every 10 rooms. D1 = original art for the set. Thoughts? 🤔 #indiedev | #indiegamedev | #roguelike

@schisam Still MOBA, but UE5 with new graphics and remastered combat in the direction of current third-person action games (which are rising in popularity). Test variations with players to see which is most fun since third-person action spans wide variety. Better out-of-match progression.
