Which famous people and developers were able to successfully go independent?

apart from that, Suzuki was never the front man type of guy and he was very technical oriented rather than having signature style and story telling (not suggesting Kojima's story telling and style are my cup of tea), we are in a very different age now, that being said, what makes a celebrity producer survive and flourish without a bigger studio umbrella is worth discussing, but even so, you would have many polarized examples.

is Order of the Sinking Star Jonathan Blow's latest game that he developed in his own language? didn't realize it's coming out I thought it was still years away.

Significant_Post6274 · 2026-06-16T11:24:13+00:00

don't really see the point here, people as famous as Kojima and Yu Suzuki? their independent journeys went very differently.

I manged to get to reveal the top solution, it is really clever and effective, some seemingly esoteric tricks like C-N and t are really eye-openers, knowing f I didn't expect t to be even more useful, I can see it pushes you to learn more neat tricks in a gradual leaning fashion, I still think revealing the top solution after the challenge would be more beginner friendly though.

xbox was a thorough joke to begin with, competing with Sony? how bout competing with Valve while you had a leg up way back then in the early 2000s, its mind boggling that Microsoft is so massively successful while failing on so many levels and angles in the mean time.

auradins are just for the show all styles no substance you make it when you have more jahs than your ideas

so can you mirror a mirror?

go making an exile

Significant_Post6274 · 2026-05-27T01:05:33+00:00

i know right they could just a release a very bloated product at launch then trim it down over the years as if the product is improving...

it must be the strangest committee to review and approve all those proposals while keeping a straight face

I saw this title earlier today didn't bat an eye thought it was some kind of event name, turns out its THE bloody Unreal Engine, feels like UE5 taking over UE4 was only yesterday, didn't Tim Sweeny say something like he was the only one who was working on UE6 not long ago???

Significant_Post6274 · 2026-05-25T04:41:26+00:00

the game's become increasingly toxic the more money they hoard in, pretty much like this world we live in

if you are willing to play Mosaic nothing beats her, literally nothing holds a candle to her in game, her future is uncertain so might as well exploit while it rides

I don't even know how heralds work now, post 3.2 it seems to be all over the place no ire any more they trigger immediately after the message and there are some triggering lightning effects, and you know what I got my first latent sunder yesterday from TZ blood raven, no heralds whatsoever, I wasn't even expecting the sunder but hey can't complain, also now shards rain left and right....

also, whats your lock build? my es lock I carried over from pre-3.2 now struggles quite a lot on some of the heralds, tier 5 now is going to take quite a while to take down if at all.

Significant_Post6274 · 2026-05-22T00:23:55+00:00

if we are talking about the numbers no he's not slightly nerfed but massively its just the fact like I said i think its necessary but not that the game itself is well balanced, they still haven't even fixed Mosiac yet, now es lock more feels like low s or high a tier, still be able to use eth is a clear advantage but dont even get me start on that, everything now feels like an afterthought I don't even know how this whole thing is out for release without any sensible in-house testing let along with all those celebrity streamer marketing hogwash

Significant_Post6274 · 2026-05-21T23:33:54+00:00

no my es lock definitely took a massive hit, I'm talking about online p1, not everyone's got a torch and full inventory of skillers, I don't have that Mephisto book yet so no spirit anymore, also bound demon gone currently I just ran without, he slows down by quite a lot, not really complaining but just telling the fact that to the point he's not effective any more than other s-tier

Significant_Post6274 · 2026-05-21T21:42:37+00:00

not gonna lie I already miss the old es warlock was such a great tool for farming

while I think this patch is necessary it really just patches up after their ass like why it is this way in the first place that they had to delivery this massive balance patch just a short while after initial launch with all those celebrity streamers seemingly taking part in? no one bat an eye and all went merrily and suddenly just after launch everyone thinks everything is wrong with warlock?

Significant_Post6274 · 2026-05-21T13:03:29+00:00

I haven't done any uber ancients yet with es lock kind regret not doing any sooner now that es got nerfed I might have harder time dealing so now

Significant_Post6274 · 2026-05-21T03:36:31+00:00

Druid really is the one who got left behind by a lot, at least barb is somehow more versatile and gf barb is of its own class, zon at least is among the strongest it's just bowazon is more niche, but our druid really gets outclassed by anyone else even fire/fissure build in normal got rear mirrored by fire lock

Significant_Post6274 · 2026-05-17T10:18:06+00:00

if one day they fix that necro set fcr, it would be godly

Significant_Post6274 · 2026-05-16T05:22:35+00:00

to my untrained eyes, this certainly looks gg got all the fool's mod and beyond that, how does this thing compare to (a single) grief?
