MicroSoft can successfully market anything. If they announced a "first-person open-world Magic+Steampunk RPG sequel, from legendary RPG devs, coming to Xbox Pass" the soy would be too great no matter if one played the first Arcanum or not.

Another positive review from a feminine animator:

Pros

I only joined the company in the past few years but, the time I've been here has been incredible. The leadership team are extremely understanding and actually care about the employees. Work life balance is actually a thing here and not just a phrase they use. All of the people I've worked with are passionate about what they do, dedicated to creating a great product and genuinely solid humans. Since I got here, I've felt welcomed and valued rather than feeling like another cog in the development machine.
Although the company has grown quickly, the culture and values are still intact. It feels like working at a small studio but with the backing and dedication to create AAA titles. I've worked at a few big companies and can say, with out a doubt, this is one of the best places to work. Honestly, couldn't be happier with my position here.
Also, there are great snacks... Just saying.

Cons

There are SO many people called Chris.

Advice to Management

Keep it up! You've all created such a great work environment, I wish more companies could be like this. *Heart emoji* *High five*

Hope all these good vibes result in a good game.

Guess a person's weight by a quote.

Is she complaining regarding "Chris" because of what I think or?

She probably doesn't even know about our Chris...

Eh, artists tend to be a thin bunch. People can enjoy snacks in moderation.

Just the number of Chrises at inXile. Looking at linkedin search results there's Keenan, Wiedel, Thomas, Toups, Arnold, Warner, Howe, and Cunningham. Given the existence of Parker and Jones and the guy you're thinking of, quite a popular name there.

 

[jackofshadows]

Yeah, maybe prejudice got the better of me. She might be just a young, naive, lively, annoying humourless girl. By the way, isn't it easy to solve "Chris problem" within work enviroment by just calling them using their, you know, SECOND name?

It's just a joke man. She's not seriously bothered by it.

We gave Taco Bell's insane new Big Cheez-It Tostada the road test everyone needed. Does it live up to the name? Is it a Big Cheez-It? Is Matt lactose intolerant? Let's find out!

They already blew through all of the Microsoft funds.

 

[Old One]

They should hire an in-house chef instead of eating garbage like that.

 

[Morality Games]

Is there a real chance this could be Arcanum 2? That would be pretty big shoes to fill and I have doubts Inxile could do it.

Well, Microsoft does own Activision now and Activision *is* the rights holder for Arcanum.

you expect Fargo to scrap everything they've built so far and restart the development as "Arcanum 2"?

Well, I was mostly being tongue in the cheek. Should have used to better get that across.

That said, there are worse ideas.

Could definitely see the team bring Arcanum 1 back for a Enhanced Edition and port it to consoles like they did with the first Wasteland.

Would be awesome to see more people get into the series.

inXile looking to compete with Reviewbrah:

Tune in to Jayce St. John's Survival Hour with the wasteland’s most macho survivor and 3-time world wrestling super champion Jayce St. John as he and Wasteland 3 Game Director David Rogers descend 16 million Scovilles-deep into a world of pain. Do they have what it takes to survive? They better!

 

[Alienman]

Games?

 

[likash]

Brian's looking healthier.

Fargo has Anderson but he also needs to get Boyarsky and Cain from Obsidian(wasting time with silly games like outer worlds) to complete the orginal Fallout/Troika team. We need Arcanum 2, Blloodlines 2 and a proper Van Buren game. Also, throw in Avellone before he gets lazy and drunk once again. He has nothing better to do than wasting his time on twitter recounting the good old days.

Disgusting. Imagine putting that stuff in your body even once. They killed a chicken to make this travesty? The disrespect.

I want BARDSTALE expansion. BTCS + Dragon Wars and more to the BTT. And toss in assets from older versions. Imagine playing c64 gfx with modern ui and speed.. hmmm. Unlock em all baby!

We’re celebrating our 20th Anniversary with a rare look inside the studio, our ups and downs, and where we’re going next. We can’t wait to show you more.

The documentary conveniently skips over the rough Tides of Numenera/Bard's Tale IV era The ending note is also corporate propaganda cringe.
