Today Mike and I mashed together Rev War (for him) and #bookhistory (for me) around #Concord #Massachusetts. So, besides sites on Battle Road, we toured Louisa May #Alcott 's Orchard House, saw a repro of H. D. #Thoreau 's house on #Walden Pond, and the 1870s interior of Concord Free Library.

Exterior of Orchard House, where the Alcotts lived for 20 years, and where many of the experiences described in Little Women took place.

Statue of Henry David Thoreau outside his recreated cabin near Walden Pond.

Inside Thoreau's cabin. Note the 3 chairs: one for solitude, two for friendship, and three for society.

Inside the Concord Free Library. This part was built in the 1870s.

Just for context, both #NoMansSky and #Cyberpunk2077 add a big influx of preorders.

In other words, they had a BIG cash injection the moment the game was live, which ensured the studio expenses for months to fix the game.

That wasn't the case for #MindsEye, and other big flops like #SuicideSquad, #Brink, #SkullAndBones and #Concord. The latter was a colossal disaster.

Gaming got worse the moment the suits started to make decisions.

Developers made games they wanted to play. Some would even mortgage their houses for what they believed was fun.

Today, you get the conundrum of investing in projects based on focus groups, financial milestones, and return of investment: #MindsEye, #Concord, #DragonAgeTheVeilguard, #SuicideSquad, you name them.

Concord: Tale of the Implacable foi a minha maior surpresa com a série Secret Level (Nível Secreto), justamente porque é bom. A história é legal e, como dá para ver na imagem, o design dos personagens do episódio é bem mais interessante do que o dos personagens do jogo.

#SecretLevel #NívelSecreto #Concord #Séries #Games #Jogos

Personagens Sladie, Rade, Cassidy Taimak, Kai e Smokes do episódio Concord: Tale of the Implacable de Secret Level em cena, mostrando detalhes de suas roupas e expressões faciais, ambientados em um cenário futurista e tecnológico.

Concord actually wasn't a bad game IMO. It was repetitive due to a lack of content, but the characters were very diverse gameplay wise and it had some real neat ideas (e.g tanks being hulking goliaths twice the size of other players.)

Its biggest problems were probably launching as a 40$ multiplayer game in 2024 and trying to combine Moebius inspired goofy sci-fi designs with visual realism, which just made people wonder why the fuck there were tubes everywhere.

Dos noticias juntas(una de ellas con más contexto), se entienden mejor.

Como ya sabemos, los hombres con corbata se están cargando la industria de los #videojuegos .

Porque un "checklist" hecho con "Excel" observando las tendencias sobre los juegos más vendidos de una forma sin alma. Hace que se creen proyectos que no tienen sentido en su concepto como lo que pasó con #Concord . Ya que hay que hacer algo muy excepcional y con alma, para desbancar a los líderes de mercado en juegos online de géneros como los FPS o los MOBA.

Está volviendo a pasar con #Marathon , se ve que desde hace mucho tiempo, ese #Bungie que creó #Halo y #Destiny ha muerto. Donde su CEO, un jorseluís, que enseña sus coches lujosos a sus trabajadores un día antes de que los despida. Porque se ha descubierto que han vuelto a robar arte.

Aquí es donde piensas sobre el juego, ¿Por qué pasa esto? No será que tratan a sus trabajadores como basura, incentivando a que hagan su trabajo mal, en un ambiente muy tóxico. Lo peor de todo es que todo tiene pinta que vayan a hacer el juego DE PAGO y encima solo PvP, algo que no le ha gustado a los jugadores que probaron esa beta, ignorando todo el feedback. Todo pinta a que vaya a ser un fracaso.

Mientras tanto, tenemos la segunda noticia, donde #Embracer group quiere lanzar 76 juegos diferentes en sólo un año. Algo que puede ser preocupante porque puede dar a entender que puede que estén adelantando desarrollo o querer sacar juegos con muy poco tiempo de desarrollo. Por lo que los fans de #DeusEX , #Metro , #TombRaider , #Redfaction puede que encontremos nuevos juegos en 2026 y 2027 aunque no pinta muy bien la cosa en cuanto si llegarán a tener mucha calidad.

The more I hear about #Bungie and #Marathon, the more I'm convinced that it will be another #Concord.

There is a lot of negativity around the game, looking like Early Access, but also Bungie making themselves self-inflicted wounds.

In no way the game is going to be a financial success unless it's free and delayed. Destin also said it could be sabotage to gain studio control.
