Welcome to the game development community! This is a place to talk about and post anything related to the field of game development.
We need more co-ops and syndicates. Suits get money blown up their ass all the times while the workers get crumbs. Money distribution is always crap in companies that aren't worker run.
It's a pity they had to fire some people, but I'd they can survive and maybe make a good game, that'd be preferable. The NDP should focus on funding these kinds of companies instead of trying to buy bioware back from the Saudis with taxpayer money.
What is NDP?
The New Democratic Party of Canada (where this coop is in). The suggested to buy out Bioware with public money.
Funders wanting a polished vertical slice, or a year of full-time work from the whole team, while Young Suns was still in production is the brutal bit. A 30 person studio can't build two games at once, and Dabbous says they've never had a hit to pay for it
