Met a guy at a party who said he didn't make video games (he was in the Navy instead), but he came to said party with the guy who made Frog Fractions. Sure enough, Twinbeard was there.

Later on I met another guy who claimed to be a dev on Frog Fractions 2. I told him I'd already met that guy from the Navy, and he didn't know who I was talking about. When I told him that I had gone to DigiPen, he said that "the entirety of DigiPen" being Frog Fractions 2 was something he had heard posited before.

I think that party might've been Frog Fractions 2. Maybe I'm still playing Frog Fractions 2.

Yeah this looks great. Glad to see we have professionalism at GDC.

Also, remember, if you have more than 10 Steam games you're not the target market for video games

>"Daniel Cook, founder of independent game developer Spry Fox, asked his audience how many owned 10 or more games on Steam. When most raised their hands, he calmly told them "you don't matter."

>"You are novelty seekers," Cook said. "You are the smallest demographic in gaming."

Note that he bitches about a lack of innovation in mainstream games when he makes garbage mobile games that steal from other existing mobile games.

So basically developers are being told be financial failures in order to push some agenda.

Great. Anyone go the ms party with the boobies?

YEP

Thankfully the real world is still a place that matters outside the classroom or circlejerking industry floorshow.

I'm sure we all remember what happened when the people who made Sunset had to close down because nobody wanted a housekeeping simulator.

There's this strange obsession with "uplifting" the games industry into something enlightened hipster fucks can be proud of. It's not enough that anyone can make a game, you gotta socially engineer the consumer base because the existing gamers "don't deserve [their] hobby."

Games as a whole have to be something MORE than a fun distraction before they can "become art". You know, it's like how film can't be art because Adam Sandler keeps making movies.

Wait…
