I wonder if AAA gamedevs keep stats on how many times people try to hit buttons on their controllers while their unskippable start animations play
Dear game devs.
If - and especially if - you're making a game with 50+ hour playtime, make it quick to both enter and exit your game.
Being forced to watch some animation, however cool it is, dozens and dozens of time just to get in or out of your game gets really old.
Take example from horizon:forbidden west. It does it well. There so many bad examples out there that I don't even need to list them.
Oh dear, #Cohost is shutting down. Where shall I dump my #adventofcode gifs now? =)

@Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place Surprisingly, that's not a lot smaller (mastodon.online as about 13k active users, mastodon.gamedev.place says 6.2k)

@bennjordan 600 people, 6% of workforce.. they have 10k employees? That's quite many for what they seem to be doing (but then, twitter felt that way too).

I'm kinda hoping the whole site just disappears one day soon, so everyone can leave it behind.
Persona 5 drinking game: whenever someone says "phantom", take a sip. "Phantom thieves", a drink. "Phantom thieves of hearts", finish the bottle.
I'm thinking of moving from mastodon.online to some smaller instance. peoplemaking.games is one suggested one that might align to my interests, but here's your opportunity to suggest some other one.

@hamumu@mastodon.gamedev.place I've seen some test builds of AAA games where you run an exe and are immediately in the middle of the sandbox, no menus, no loading screens, nothing. So it's definitely possible =)
