Ask him how you can play Dream Daddy for 60 hours and only have 3 achievements

Since we're snooping...the best game in that list by far, System Shock 2, has the least playtime. What a shame.

Disclaimer: I've not played Dream Daddy.

Also what is there to gain from 440 hours of Garry's mod? Especially as a game dev. As a game dev you basically have deeper and more liberating versions of Garry mod in the form of level editors, the ability to write any script you want (within reason) and so on. Perhaps a family member uses his account. Or maybe he enjoys the simplicity and ease of use involved with GMod.

91 hours of Goat Simulator.

The only rational explanation is:

No. But he sure does have good taste, Robert is by far the hottest dad in the game.

"It didn't work out" doesn't sound amicable.

Yep. :/ When I asked if he could spare some details, he said: "There isn't a lot I can or should say about the internal politics of a game project".

Well, apparently he's gone back to frog design (fabulous design firm founded in 1969) where he previously worked for 9 years: https://designmind.frogdesign.com/2017/09/current-state-intelligent-systems/

And suddenly blog post is gone.

Development hasn't really started yet, and there is already some shady shit going on (probably Starbreeze shenanigans).

 

[Infinitron]

I don't know what possible drama there could be at such an early stage in development other than "the hours weren't good for me" or "they wouldn't pay me enough".

 

[Latelistener]

They're just warming up.

 

[ciox]

They're just warming up.

No kidding, almost 2 years since the announcement and pre-production hasn't started yet (?).

It is the only sensible prediction though, every game is dumbed down for consoles, controllers, and 10 year olds. The only thing that gives me any hope is the fact that Bioshock has already been there and done it. If it was a big company I would assume they are going to drive System Shock into the ground in the same way. But a private company with crowd funding and stuff means there is a chance they will do the right thing and make a good game that doesn't have to pander to publisher bs.

 

[Latelistener]

But they already sign a deal with a publisher.

Starbreeze will invest $12 million to bring the game to PC and other platforms.

 

[anvi]

Then we are doomed. DOOMED!

 

[Ash]

Lol, that super codex-inclined poster recognising everything has gone to shit, and that SS3 will probably be shit, and then going on to list FO4 and Skyrim as saving graces. How sad.
Swap FO4 with New Vegas and Skyrim with Dark Souls. Fixed.

 

[anvi]

NV and Dark Souls are shit too.

It's back, republished. No apparent change in text. Looks like they just wanted to make it a part of a series retroactively.

Also Sheldon Pacotti updated his Linkedin profile, he started working at frog from April.

 

[Latelistener]

It seems like he left around the same time they sign a deal with Starbreeze (it was in March).

 

[Azazel]

Sheldons not a dumbass and he doesn't need to suck figs to pay his rent, logical explanation is that he decided the design was ass and got out before his name was too attached.

Shame, we all know what happens when there isn't a strong team around to keep Spectors stupidity in check.

 

[Infinitron]

The design he was in charge of creating?...

 

[ciox]

Chances that this game will be about defeating Drumph with Mickey's paintbrushes... increasing...

...and now Technical Director Jason Hughes left Otherside Austin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonhughes/

Looking forward to whatever comes next. Open to contract engineering work, will consider FT on the right project/company/position. Have a project in trouble or want to move ahead faster? Hit me up.

Technical Director
Jul 2016 – Oct 2017 1 yr 4 mos

Helped design, prototyping, and ultimately architect the foundation for Warren Spector's next game: System Shock 3. I hired and lead the programming team to design and build immersive simulation systems that promoted emergent gameplay.
