Arkane Arkane founder Raf Colantonio resigns (aka The Prince of Failure)

[Latelistener]

He's "He / Him" on Twitter now. No more confidence.

In the first episode of The House of The Dev podcast Warren Spector shares his vision and methods of assembling and managing your first game dev studio. Hosted by Raphael Colantonio and Peter Salnikov.

⁃ First steps: surround yourself with people who are better than you.
⁃ Passion vs money: what matters most at the start;
⁃ If we can scare you away, it’s not your dream job;
⁃ The importance of high level advisors - and when to stop to avoid being annoying;
⁃ Daily work: eye to eye or distanced. New rules and opportunities of the post-pandemic world.
⁃ Naked people in the middle of the night and tipped tables: the stress behind the curtains.
⁃ Why crunching is unavoidable - but also unacceptable.

Not sure Spector is really the kind of guy you want to listen to about this stuff... At least not past the year 2000.

Very cool podcast. Gives me confidence for Weird West and Redfall, respectively.

Hope poor Harvey keeps seeing his therapist though...

I was bummed a little bit about the Prey thing and all the name issues and all that. Those were things that made me a little resentful towards the organization, but other than that I did like Bethesda very much.
