    i was kinda hoping they could sneak out this one game before getting gutted

    The writing was kinda on the wall for so long. Remember Brad Muir? Dude disappeared off the face of the planet once he joined Valve.

    Still really sucks that they gutted the team and made them work on a VR shooter instead.

    Valve, Blizzard, Bethesda

    They make more bank than ever but they sure don't invoke enthusiasm the way they used to

    I got an email the other day from Jackbox Games, and I had no idea why. Turns out I won the grand prize in their yearly Friendsgiving giveaway, and I won a physical prize pack of goodies, which is shipping out now, along with Steam codes for all their games!
    So, does anyone want a free copy of Quiplash? I used the others, but that one's available.

    Remember Chet Faliszek and Eric Wolpaw?

    Remember Jay Pinkerton?

    They all pretty much disappeared after Portal 2 was released. I know that Eric and Jay both left Valve but are apparently still involved there? Or just old work finally coming out years later.

    Damn, Fyfe really sounds like he got burned on this. Man, that whole thing is a bummer. I really hoped that those guys were smarter than that.
    On the other hand, a steady Valve paycheck probably beats being an indie studio struggling to survive, so it's always a bit too easy to judge from the outside.


    e: what's that about Deep Down? That is/was a Capcom thing that disappeared after the first (?) cg trailer, right?

    I like that the character is Stevonnie but splits into Steven and Connie occasionally instead of vice versa

    Is Connie a Gem person? Or can Gems just fuse with anyone?

    DeansDeans Registered User regular
    Only Steven can fuse with humans cause he's half-human. All the Gems were super surprised when it happened.

    Steven is a human/gem hybrid.

    So far we've seen no indications any other gem + human fusion is possible. I maintain in my headcanon Steven could mediate fusions between multiple humans or humans + gems, but we haven't seen it yet.

    what's the payment model for brawlhalla like?

    it's free to play, but then do you have to pay for characters/stages? do you have to pay for cosmetics?

    So is that more like a Dota 2 where our all the characters are free or more like a League of Legends where the characters have to be bought or unlocked?

    There is actually a correlation between FPS and K/D, but it's only in fast FPS, and only at pretty high levels of play, and it's subtle.

    Deep Down got one CGI "this is what we want it to look like" trailer and then the project was quietly scrapped because the game engine they licensed wasn't able to do what they wanted, IIRC, and people only heard about it being canned many years later so there was a while where people kept expecting news about it to finally bubble up each year.
