>>1029505 A couple of days ago, Reflector Entertainment (the developers behind Unknown 9: Awakening) officially announced layoffs. Approximately 18% of their workforce is now gone. They did not specifically say that the game's failure was the reason why, but they did mention the game by name. They claim that their decision isn't "driven by commercial success" but they don't say it isn't because of failure, either. What kinds of layoffs happen right after a successful release of a product, anyways? A Message to the Reflector Community https://archive.md/zRxHj >A few moments ago, we informed our team that we are refocusing our efforts as we enter a new phase of development. The changes resulting from this transition are necessary for us to efficiently deliver on our most pressing objectives while guaranteeing that every member of our team can meaningfully contribute to our ongoing projects. >In the spirit of full transparency, we want to share what this means for our colleagues, our games, the worlds our products unfold in, as well as what everyone can expect moving forward. >For most of our studio’s history, we have been fortunate enough not to have to make changes like this. Today’s announcement isn’t driven by commercial success or external pressures, but stems instead from our current reality, which is that at this time, we cannot guarantee tangible work for all of the talented individuals we employ. >With the recent release of Unknown 9: Awakening and our two key production lines entering the early stages of development, we must make sure that our staff is laser-focused on contributing to the projects that wholly benefit from their skillsets. >As such, we are reducing our team by approximately 18% of Reflector’s total workforce, a decision that impacts people who aren’t assigned to roles that our active projects require. >This change affects our colleagues, our friends, and their families, and we are doing all that we can to help them through this difficult time, providing them with severance packages as well as access to medical, emotional, and career planning support. >We know that the community we’ve built over the years cares deeply about the people who bring our games to life. Our goal is to assist the affected individuals with the respect and support they deserve. >As you can imagine, this is a trying time for us all, but we are committed to learning from this experience. As of this posting, there are currently 11 people playing the Steam version of the game, with a peak of 31 in the past 24 hours. It reached its peak player count of 285 around the day of release and has only decreased in players since. These layoffs have come as a surprise to no one at all. Will we see the closure of this studio soon?

>>1041850 Fuck, that's a lottta typos.

>>1041748 >>1041749 >>1041753 >>1041788 (Fitting dubs!) Thanks anons! >>1041846 >spoiler There was the purple vidya theme that was briefly used that many anons liked before it got taken off due to the theme breaking in archives and some missteps in design elements. However, the Halloween theme loaded fine in the archive so it might not have any more problems if implemented again. The purple vidya theme currently doesn't have those tweaks yet so I wouldn't have it used. I think I still have those custom Sonic monitor thumbnails saved somewhere so I could use those for the purple theme.

>>1041903 Reminds me of that scene in eva when misato makes asuka storm off crying and then the class rep says that it was shinji's fault. Everytime I watch that I'm like "what the fuck did he do?"

>>1041787 >Blyat 2 is horribly buggy and stale So it's actually staying true to the series' roots surprisingly enough. That's a relief.

>>1041779 Y-you too!

>>1041787 It runs like shit despite looking like a game from a decade ago, has no A-life and is both consolized and casualized. A lot of people will skip it and keep playing SOC or COP.

>>1041604 oh right, I only saw how it (especially the recent 3.1) killed performances when enabled

>>1041605 It's a spatial upscaler focused on edge quality that that can produce high resolution frames from lower resolution inputs, it can "fake" higher resolutions without performance falling as much as directly rendering those resolutions. Native 4K performs worse than "FSR 4K" which performs worse than 1080p.

>>1041514 Of course GW knew but they didn't expect how, much of the fanbase would enjoy this. >>1041505 I should play DT since it's been a year since I played.

>>1041573 I literally looked it up beforehand and still wrote out the wrong company. My suicide is imminent. The trigger mechanism whines. Out of curiosity I looked up who owns them and it's Amblin, the TV production company. Not who I would have expected.

>>1041574 Not them but their parent Storyteller Distribution, who confusingly also call themselves Amblin. The production company and holding company are two different entities. >TV They started out making films, pretty famous ones too! Gremlins, Jurassic Park and Back to the Future were all by them. They haven't been too active in film for about 20 years now, most of their non-TV work are those Jurassic Park sequels.

>>1041573 >How dares he confusing colon cancer with testicle cancer, what a noob retard At this rate Creamworks became the B grade Yidsney, having their shit funded by Netflix was a heads up.

Something mildly amusing. There are so many scrapped Half-Life games that Wikipedia created an entire article about the phenomenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreleased_Half-Life_games

>>1041501 >half life 3 was going to be partially proc-gen I'm honestly interested in what that would have felt like. How much freshness could they get away with while retaining a structured story with balanced gameplay beats? Speaking of that interview where Gabe said "we weren't able to justify episode 3 if we weren't pushing things forward," why not just take that angle? That would be, if not "successful," at least extremely fascinating. Proc-gen alone doesn't work at all. Full structure obviously works. So how far can the mix be pushed?

>>1040636 Not selling personal data would be a good start, unlike what Soyny did a muslim who was committed to 100% every game only for his PISS account to get shitcanned.

>>1041791 >seven person killstreak <this guys a fucking idiot >:((( Why are online FPS players like this

>>1041613 He created a ton of mods for all Dragon Quest games (mostly DQ XI, both vanilla and definitve edition) which go from QoL features to shitpost to actual in-game content. It's not a stretch to say that he doubled the lifespan of DQ XI in my library. https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/mike9k1/mods https://gamebanana.com/members/1940759 He also has his own modding community for all the mods deemed too risquè for the cucked nexus/banana cartel.

>>1041664 What mods for DQ XI are the best mods, to you?

>Nude mods got deleted online Anybody have a backup?

>>1040566 >I've played the Game Boy version plenty I have too, enough to have Yoshi LDX to screenshot and recommend to the Emulation Megathread over the unpatched GB version. LDX is improved from GB. NES Yoshi's my favorite, I recommend it over both GB and LDX. I will compare and contrast the 4 versions. Characters in columns have clearer color separation in LDX than GB, so I don't confuse them. LDX colors Boo's mouth, adds an extra color to Piranha Plants, and dithers red and green to create the illusion of brown for Goombas. NES upgrades to true brown. GB's white BG contrasts worst with characters as white's used for each character. LDX green's better, but shared with Yoshi egg spots and Piranha Plant leaves. NES blue's best, DS blue/purple's 2nd. DS characters contrast best with each other, its Yurarin Boos and Blurps replacing Boos and Piranha Plants improves color variety. GB, LDX, and NES Boos and Bloobers, all white, don't contrast well, nor brown Goombas and red Piranha Plants in LDX, where brown's near red. LDX does better there than GB, and NES than LDX, as NES brown's further from red than LDX's dither. Yoshi eggs are colored wrong on GB, right on NES and LDX, and upgrade from 3 to 8 colors on DS. DS downgrades game settings to none and cuts A Type's triple-drops. GB and LDX clutter the interface. GB, LDX, and DS have lower resolution than NES, limiting each to 7 rows where NES has 8. LDX plays unused music on the title screen different from GB music. I played many GB demakes on GB hardware, they're worse than originals but portable and UMPCs make originals portable. Color clarifies how to move so it's better. Worse versions of good games remain good. GB Yoshi's good, but LDX and NES are better. >Also, it's been a while since I played it, but I could have sworn that playing on hardware like SGB, GBC, and GBA gives the game one of those built in default palettes that a few earlier Game Boy games got. I remember playing on actual hardware and seeing most of the colors be correct. This APNG compares the GBC palette (white BG) to the LDX patch (green BG). Yoshi's colors are correct, but characters set in columns are not, and have clearer color separation in LDX. Where colors count, the GBC colors are incorrect. They help less to match. >it's really hard to get confused on which sprite is which. Those Mario enemies are pretty recognizable. For this APNG, if 50 people count Piranha Plants in the built-in default GBC palette, and 50 more in the LDX palette, the median time should be shorter for the LDX palette.

>>1040566 >The Game Boy version's colorless which confuses what characters switch to what columns. The Yoshi LDX (SGB Enhanced) patch fixes this <I've played the Game Boy version plenty, and it's really hard to get confused on which sprite is which. Those Mario enemies are pretty recognizable It's not confusing if you play the start of Yoshi GB at stock settings. It's more confusing on high speed, in A Type's later levels, when unlucky triple-drops RNG your stack higher, or on high speed, early in B Type's later levels, when you start 5/7 rows high, and you change your plan after an incoming drop. I process colors/shapes faster than shades/shapes and these shades aren't distinct enough. Color communicates more to me, faster. With color I react to incoming drops, plan movement, then execute in around a quarter second plus input lag. Without color I slow to a third, limiting what's possible for me. Click my GIF. The talk had me boot Yoshi LDX to play an hour anyway, so I clipped level 26. Maybe you're smarter than me, but I'm not a furious puzzle failure or troll like c3019f. I'm a Euro with decent skills who still processes no colors slower. Everybody probably does. At 26 seconds, 2 Goombas fall. I plan 1 in the lowest column for a short stack, and the other in the 3rd lowest, for match potential with 3, not 2, top characters. As a plant spawns, I change my plan. I swap the lowest and 2nd lowest columns to keep the plant line open. I wouldn't react in time without color. And colors are cooler. I'd rather see colors than none, or better colors than worse colors, but gameplay changes are more objective.

>>1041776 >>1041777 The thumbnail from 1041776 comparing the GBC palette to the LDX patch should loop here. My other GIF from 1041777's too big to animate its thumbnail.

>>1041729 I miss the artfriends and anons making Onirism memes. People deciding which monster girl is their favorite waifu. 8ch seems technically very polished. I like it. I hope to use 8ch to share my art once in a while.

>>1041750 I still wonder why people still use cuckchan. It's inferior to most other imageboards in every way. To get back on topic, I absolutely love how the shotguns get the love they deserve. Only maybe one or two out of the dozen there is feel mediocre at worst, and the recently teased buzzsaw shotty looks fucking cool.

>>1041766 Goddamn why do the environments look so good?

>>1041658 I used to lament the fact that AssCreed killed the Prince of Persia franchise, but if's for the better, it's better to be dead, than to have your corpse paraded around. The worst that happened to PoP is a forgettable 2D game, whereas AssCreed got shit sequels upon shit sequels.

>>1041755 AssCreed was made to replace PoP. PoP is still creator owned and Ubisoft just licenses it because the creator is French and doesn't really have any other options.
