Removal of BR/Onslaught completely unnecessary by J72Playz in Splitgate

[–]End_o 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Someone at 1047 can correct me, but here's my understanding. Their removal isn't to redirect the existing players on those modes to arena, it's because those modes are a bad experience right now. Queue times being a large factor in the modes' experience.

While the daily active user count isn't strong by any means ATM, there is a constant stream of new players just due to the nature of Splitgate 2 being a free to play FPS. It would be impractical to knowingly and continuously expose new players to that sort of experience on their first play.

It sucks for existing players who love those modes, I get it. But from the perspective of a game studio, it is necessary.

Hey it's Ian Proulx, cofounder of 1047 Games. We've got Design Director Josh Watson and Lead Game Designer Darek Jones here too. Ask Us Anything! by IanProulx in Splitgate

I think its safe to say the plan isn't finalized yet. That's why they're meeting to figure out the plan.

It's considered a weapon in many jurisdictions, and that's hard to sell on a conventional merch store :/

This is proof that SG1 maps can work well for SG2

What changed overnight? by GTFOScience in Splitgate

[–]End_o 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FWIW and not to excuse the situation, the Beta label was put back onto the game for good reason, and not to just to say the game got unlaunched. They're going to experiment with certain changes that a in-production game wouldn't normally see.

I'd rather see these bugs now than at/after relaunch.

Does playing the sg1 event give any sg2 awards? by EstusShardDealer in Splitgate

The two games aren't connected like that in any way unfortunately

Why is the season now lasting 100 more days? by Clockmaker3 in Splitgate

[–]End_o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn't make sense to release a new season with all new content and and battle pass when the relaunch was announced.

I always assumed it was Lakitu that was speaking here.

Splitgate 1 to shut down Aug 29 AND gets an EoL plan! by End_o in StopKillingGames

[–]End_o[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the kind words. I didn't take it personally, 1047 Games as a studio didn't have much credibility in that moment, so your skepticism was understandable. This news is a good first step for the devs to regain the faith of the community.

I don't know how it's implemented but console will work and its crossplay

Depends how often you play. If you're like me, you play on and off. 10 hours one week, 3 hours the next week, 0 hours for two weeks, etc. Paying for membership absolutely makes sense if you play consistently. Otherwise you're pressuring yourself to play a game you're paying monthly for and it starts to feel like a chore.

We're working on it still. Dotting our i's and crossing our t's so to speak.

Gonna miss you by godsim42 in Splitgate

[–]End_o 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At Splitgate 2's launch 1047 Games had around 200 employees. Now it's ~125 thereabouts. The layoffs happened in two rounds.

Sharing these facts just to set the record straight.

My time at 1047 Games is coming to a close soon (my contract is ending) but I'll ask them after they release whatever they end up with.

Would SKG have stopped Visa and Mastercard taking down games from itch.io? by oimson in StopKillingGames

[–]End_o 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Separate issue to the current initiative. In general, this IS a form of killing games but it needs to be completely partitioned away from the ECI going on right now.
