You can shutter video game studios to boost your quarterly numbers all you want, but the creative people that drive the success of the gaming industry aren't going anywhere. New, independent studios will form...teams will reignite their passion projects (or spiritual successors). That's the thing about gaming, new IP can be created at any moment. There's no limits to what game devs can create. Living one Wall Street quarter at a time isn't healthy for anyone. It doesn't produce great games and it doesn't sustain a business. #gamedevs #gamingindustry

#Sounddesign plays a crucial role in creating an gaming experience. From the sound effects to the music, every element contributes to the overall atmosphere of the game. A well-crafted sound design can enhance the player's emotional connection to the game and make it more engaging. Therefore, it's essential to prioritize sound design in video game development.

What is the most under-represented genre right now in competitive PC gaming? For a while I thought it may be RTS, but it's clear now that Arena FPS is in the most challenging place. RTS is poised to have a huge resurgence with Frost Giant Studios, Inc. Stormgate as well as ZeroSpace on the horizon. The genre has done well to weather difficult times since the fall of SC2 from the limelight and it's been great seeing competition continue and other games like Age Of Empires do well again. Arena FPS on the other hand hasn't been so hot. The flame has been kept alive by Quake but only just. With the collapse of QPL recently, players are returning to QuakeLive, but with no game on the horizon to spark renewed interest or to pull in newer audiences, it's hard to say what's next. It feels like there's an opportunity for a developer to reinvigorate the space, but after so many failed attempts, perhaps it's simply too risky and we'll still be playing QuakeLive in another 10 years.

Diversity in Games Studios This week, I want to highlight an essential aspect of game development - Diversity. The richness of ideas in gaming should come from a tapestry of diverse voices. Bringing creative minds from all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds into game studios isn’t just a necessity. It’s a catalyst for innovation and creativity. Imagine the unexplored stories, unique gameplay mechanics, and innovative solutions emerging when we broaden our horizons. Let’s commit to making our industry more inclusive, where every voice has the power to shape the future of gaming. There’s no better time than now. #DiversityInGaming #creativeinnovation #gamedevelopment

A staggering 88% of Studios are now more willing to buy off the shelf game tools. A massive change in industry narrative "studios like to build in house". Just read through the report from Griffin Gaming Partners, and this chart in specific stood for obvious reason. Small to mid-size studios, constrained by budget and team size, have historically struggled to compete with AAA studios, often overextending themselves by attempting to create middleware pieces in-house. This resulted in unnecessary overhead and technical debt that affected multiple projects. However, it appears that the tide is turning. I wrote additional takeaways that you can find on Playroom substack. https://lnkd.in/gE-arvQ2 #games #gamedev #futureofgaming #indiedev
