Oh those guys? Yeah those are just the dozens of professional voice actors we could afford to hire with our tiny baby game studio budget! And those guys? Yeah that's just our 7-person "engineering" team. What do you mean your entire studio is 4 people?

suck off me


(for the record I'm not dunking on Hades or Hades 2 as a game this is just something that pisses me (and I assume only me) off)

I'm not calling them the development team, but it doesn't change the fact that 133 people contributed to this pretty large game. They had the budget to hire all these people for translating, voice acting, marketing, legal, accounting etc

we talk about indie developers not indie localization and marketing shrug-outta-hecks they could make the game only in english and take like 100 people off of those credits.

even slay the spire was made by two guys, a contracted composer, a contracted 2d artist, QA'ed and playtested by a bunch of people, and localized by a bunch of people.
