Behaviour picked up The Fun Pimps.

Clear shift: acquire over build.

More predictable, less risk.
But good teams and ideas are getting stuck waiting for a greenlight.

Sony shuttered Dark Outlaw Games less than a year in. Project gone.

Pedigree team. Cancelled.

The window to prove is getting shorter, even with first-party backing.

Studios are cutting earlier.
Partners need to show value fast, in-engine.

I’m asking this because I watched a recording of a GDC talk on neurodiversity in video game development but he doesn't know of anyone who has DLD—it’s actually really interesting, so I recommend checking it out👇

This image showcases a discussion on Louise Blackwick's Patreon among the members of her community, who express their ardent desire for a videogame adaptation of Blackwick's bestselling dark fantasy Vivian Amberville novels.

My Patreon community's been asking this for YEARS. Maybe it's finally time to dream a little bigger.

I'm going to dip my little toe into the #gameindustry & see if there's any possibility of a #videogame adaptation of my successful dark fantasy book series, Vivian Amberville.

Time to go to work.💙📚
