  • confinement facility ( prodeus )

    I played this for 90 mins on stream, only to die in the final encounter and not have a checkpoint on the inside of the room. This caused a soft lock and I was no longer able to finish the level.

    I must say, to say the least... I was quite offended. You don't have to do this, but I might suggest you remove your entry from the contest, fix that issue, and re-upload. It's a pretty bad bug, and it almost formed a tear in my eye.

    Feel free to watch my entire 90 min playthrough and fix the other issues and map geo errors I found along the way.

    I'm still not sure how I feel about the level. Thank you for making it.

  • Work from Home Discussion

    After making the jump to indie life from AAA, there is no way I could ever go back to working in an office. I do miss people and the organic conversations that would occur, but the ability to make my own hours and live where I want has been amazing so far. I REALLY don't miss office politics... I have a feeling those people will be weeded out quicker now, since they have to actually produce work.

    I was in a discussion a couple of months ago where I asked a few company leads if they were worried about retention. Since people might be less likely to stick around if there are high levels of BS at a studio. Why stress when you can just switch jobs without moving. We'll have to see how that pans out I guess.

    Have any of you gents felt that? Or are you more laser focused now than you were before? Maybe less distractions? More? I know my dog is happy to have me at home all day XD.
