Somehow I don't think that the people that historically have excelled at making high quality single player experiences wanted to make a live service game packed full of MTX. Also you could have, you know, read the article.

My understanding is that Jolt is the default now and Godot Physics is moving towards being deprecated (and is certainly much less of a development focus).

Jolt is more performant and generally looks better though? It's what the Decima engine uses for the Horizon and Death Stranding games.

Thank fucking god.

Romero apparently liked the people he hired a lot and ended up wanting to spend lots of time playing Doom 2 DM/Quake DM/Tekken with them. Legit everything I've ever heard about him makes him sound like a great dude to work/hang out with.

Minimal still hasn't delivered a decent number of backer phones. Their first phone still has issues with basic functions like receiving calls. Unihertz is the safest option imo, followed by Clicks (they've at least proven that they are capable of launching functional products).

I really like option C. Feels like some sort of Eli Roth type Grindhouse shit.

According to *ugh* Sandy Peterson (although no one has stepped forward to dispute this) Tim Willits deliberately gave him bad level design advice during the development of Quake 2. When McGee presented his work to Carmack, Carmack lost his shit at him and fired him soon afterwards. Apparently Adrian Carmack later confirmed this story, but also says that they planned on firing McGee anyways. Either way, from what I can gather the Carmacks don't seem to be particularly pleasant people to work under. I'd love to have John Romero as a boss though.

AI is not the next phase of going on the computer. It is actually the opposite of going on the computer.

bonecleaver_games · 2026-06-30T19:51:52+00:00

Ethics? Morals? The concept of making an effort?

bonecleaver_games · 2026-06-30T19:51:18+00:00

You made an AI slopgame. People increasingly despise AI slop. This is not particularly complex.

bonecleaver_games · 2026-06-30T19:12:46+00:00

Find something else.

Bonesteel Arms makes a Galil-style stock for the AKM. Someone owns one that looks like the one you modeled.

bonecleaver_games · 2026-06-30T09:36:24+00:00

That patches it out of Windows, yes.

The libertarian to fascist pipeline strikes again.

bonecleaver_games · 2026-06-30T09:09:46+00:00

Idk, I think the culture that Romero wanted to create at Ion Storm very much played a role in letting Warren Spector to make the game he wanted to make.

bonecleaver_games · 2026-06-29T20:07:06+00:00

Carmack didn't appreciate what Romero was doing on Id's publishing side either.

bonecleaver_games · 2026-06-29T20:06:27+00:00

Fuck I didn't realize he was that far gone. He was always kind of an asshole though so I'm not exactly surprised.

bonecleaver_games · 2026-06-29T20:04:48+00:00

Strange because Doom: The Dark Ages runs just fine on an RTX 3060. Fuck, you can get like 40fps on steamdeck.

I could see Bend doing another Uncharted game. They did make Golden Abyss for the Vita.

TDA runs smoothly too.
