Larian General Discussion Thread

[LESS T_T]

Interview with David Walgrave, with his answers read out by the interviewer:



Cryptic answer about Project Gustav:

"Actually we are working on a couple of different scenes, trying stuff out. I don't seem that was a secret. We're also still supporting Divinity: Original Sin 2 and figuring out our next steps with it. So Gustav is many scenes altogether, maybe not limited to an RPG."

I guess the interview was conducted before the announcement of Fallen Heroes?

In this episode of musical careers of game developers....:



Scored 8.

 

[JarlFrank]

That's a frugal accommodation for the boss of a company with 100 employees.

Yeah, but I think Swen is one of those people, who doesn't care, as long as he can make his games and feed his family.

Yeah this choice of accomodation is a good sign tbh.

I wonder if this just refers that marketing material for game master mode, or...: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-sernett/

Now Swen is actually visiting China:



Some kind of video game convention named GFusion: https://www.gcores.com/fusion2019

Apparently Larian is showcasing Fallen Heroes there.

 

[Xeon]

Wonder if Tencent will approach them.

 

[unfairlight]

Tencent deals in services. No.

 

[LESS T_T]

Larian already partnered with Tencent to sell their games on WeGame, Tencent's take on Steam.

Oh come on! In an age where every writer is some political propagandist, someone being just oldschool nuts is definitively an improvement and cause for optimism.

Swen's birthday party?

Swen's birthday still going down...

If this is a present from his developers, sounds like a not-so-subtle message to their boss

[Roguey]

Turns out forktong's camera is as lousy as Bubbles's used to be.

Baylus is pretty small.

Roguey will you or one of your minions catch me up on Colin McComb leaving Larian already? Infinitron tagged my earlier question as old but for the life of me, I can't find mention of it.
