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)

wasn’t expecting a struggle sessions about what constitutes an indie dev studio today, hexbear is such a hilarious combination of extremely serious and deeply unserious.

I don’t really have anything to add other than, yes, SuperGiant is an indie development company, and the fact they’ve taken (some of) their extra money from the massive commercial success that was Hades and used it to pay contractors is actually really fucking cool and admirable.
