They're all assigned fucking pronouns. Oh my god. That's reason enough to quit.
Not all of them. I guess its voluntary.
Some still fight the good fight

Thank you Roguey anon! Good strong confidence rumour inspector friend anon! I do love you anon! I do! Do not worry anon it is okay anon because confident is not need anon for screeching harpy menhera anon! Is not! Confident is only need anon for cute strong wifes anon! It is true anon! It is! You are a good strong friend anon!I meant I was confident. It's true that Brian's level of confidence varies with the situation. He convinced a coworker to leave her husband for him and then very likely cheated on her years later leading to their own divorce, so he seems to be quite confident with the ladies (pretty easy when you're a 6'4/193 cm silver fox)

We know we've been incredibly tight-lipped about the projects we're working on, but we have two games in development using the brand new Unreal Engine 5. So albeit that is all that we can reveal at this stage, we're just so thankful for all the support along the way. Our team is larger than ever, nearing 100 people in the core team, as well as our partners, all working towards the same goal of bringing the compelling worlds and stories to you.
Brian Mitsoda was fired from Obsidian once (by Chris Avellone, no less!).
Why is nobody else making urban fantasy rpgs with original IPs?
Oh God, I didn't connect the dots until now, but these are the absolute cocksuckers that foisted Dear Esther and A Machine for Pigs upon us.Chinese Room

Who the fuck thought they were a good fit to develop a new Bloodlines? They have the same retarded political views as the previous band of retards, but even less of an understanding on how to make a game.
Is Bloodlines 2 some elaborate tax evasion or money laundering scam Paradox is running?
Anne Rice, Anita Blake, Women of the Otherworld, True Blood, Blood Ties, Vampire Diaries, Twilight, A Discovery of Witches, Night Watch, Lost Girl, and countless others. The thing is, there’s basically no overlap between the demographics. Almost all urban fantasy fiction is romance novels/shows. Seeking brand recognition is pointless.Because companies want to play it safe, in a way that still gets them money. Urban fantasy out of nowhere won't sell all that much without brand recognition - and you have what exactly when it comes to urban fantasy? Dresden Files?
Literal pornography. I quit once I got to the book with the hermaphrodite and I only lasted that long because I was an edgy teenager at the time. Please don't give anyone any ideas about making a game out of this series. Gaming is degenerate enough. I would have suggested something from the Mercedes Thompson series.Anita Blake

Look at this pleb who didn't get Machine for Pigs, it was a better game than the original Amnesia and if you think otherwise you should go back and replay both. Turns out the first game don't holds up while Pigs is as relevant as ever.Oh God, I didn't connect the dots until now, but these are the absolute cocksuckers that foisted Dear Esther and A Machine for Pigs upon us.
Brand recognition is overrated anyway. Unless it's a huge brand like a movie franchise or something (although those are getting less and less valuable as studios ruin them), it's not going to be big enough to make much of a difference in profit unless you're making a cheap shovelware game in an uber niche genre where a couple thousand purchases by the tiny dedicated fandom of an obscure IP are considered amazing success beyond your wildest dreams. If you're making a free to play in an oversaturated genre, then brand recognition is completely irrelevant because you're guaranteed to turn huge profits unless your game is so sucky that it drives players away. Elden Ring and Apex Legends are completely original and they're huge. I'd think advertising would be a more important thing to focus on.Anne Rice, Anita Blake, Women of the Otherworld, True Blood, Blood Ties, Vampire Diaries, Twilight, A Discovery of Witches, Night Watch, Lost Girl, and countless others.
You've just proved my point. None of those have brand recognition and Anne Rice is just gay romance and BDMS that happens to involve vampires.
the problem isn't urban fantasy or lack of brand recognition. the problem is making an rpg that isn't faux medieval fantasy. anything outside the world of wizards and castles is considered a risk. and, frankly, it is. the audience was raised in a very specific cocktail of early modern and fake medieval aesthetics and it is rather unwilling to let go.Because companies want to play it safe, in a way that still gets them money. Urban fantasy out of nowhere won't sell all that much without brand recognition - and you have what exactly when it comes to urban fantasy? Dresden Files?

I don't quite agree with that. If your game is good then people will like it. I mean, Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Disco Elysium turned out to be mainstream successes. If you make a good game set in urban fantasy I am sure people will like it. But it has to be good on its own merits.the problem isn't urban fantasy or lack of brand recognition. the problem is making an rpg that isn't faux medieval fantasy. anything outside the world of wizards and castles is considered a risk. and, frankly, it is. the audience was raised in a very specific cocktail of early modern and fake medieval aesthetics and it is rather unwilling to let go.
The key operating words here are mainstream success. KCD and Disco are not jockeying for the forgotten realms audience. They transcend the pure rpg audience by default. A better case study would be Shadowrun. As far as combat rpgs go the Shadowrun trilogy is rather garbage. As far as settings go it is non standard in both ways: not only futuristic, but having elves in the middle of cyberpunk should be enough to weird out more than one buyer. And yet it was all successful anyways. So it's not impossible to succeed outside of realmesque, you just gotta appeal to the wider normiedom than the normies who mostly play rpgs.I don't quite agree with that.
