Not Hellforge Studios! Making games is the fun part, so I love getting in early with development teams and helping from the ground up. We also have zero interest in controlling IP, that always stays with the developer, and our take is a fraction of the industry 'standard'.
This is the problem I have with publishers right now. Every one I've spoken with lately has basically gone "your game needs to be finished and you need to be a guaranteed success before it even gets to us."
They want you to spend millions, and they want 40-50% minimum to barely market your game.

"we shouldn't have to work for free on a game until it's nearly-done enough to get funding" and "it's the only thing you can really do so you should do it if you want to make games" are both true imo and it's shit but what else is there really to do that isn't just give up

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

It's funny how much these devs hate their own games. Wonder if that's linked to the increasingly bland output from Bethesda. A question for the philosophers.
"Go back and play Morrowind and tell me that’s the game you want to play again," said Bruce Nesmith, who worked for Bethesda for over 17 years, adding that playing The Elder Scrolls 3 "would not stand the test of time." https://bit.ly/4q4GoKh

It takes 3 seconds for me to go from editor to live test using Ultimate Doombuilder. It's so good being able to quickly iterate and try out new ideas, and see it in engine at any stage.
I think most game dev teams underestimate how damaging slow workflows are to the ultimate quality of their game.
If it takes 5 minutes to launch the game and see your changes, I think your game is going to be MUCH worse than the alternate timeline where it took 1 minute

It's cool as fuck that Iron Lung is showing at a cinema 5 minutes away from me. It's like that obscure Swedish metal band coming all the way to NZ. Going to see it tomorrow!

Fun fact: white flour is almost 12% protein by weight (and a nice 69% carbohydrate). Protein supplements are, by and large, a complete waste of money.
