We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Please look at this. *Really* look at it. And realise that even if you do insist there are issues with the data, or try to "Ah, but ~of course~ NPC soldiers should be men!" it away, any result that even vaguely resembles this chart should still be considered shameful. This is 30+ years of stories.

The first episode of the Arc Raiders series we produced for Embark is now live.
For years folks were asking what happened to the original PvE hero-shooter version of the game.
Well, now you know…

Thanks Silicon Valley.
It's nice to be reminded that fundamentally this is all still the same bubble that started in 2015.
It's just gotten too narrow a pile of shit to stay standing any longer.

Utiliza otro actor e ignora la anterior saga. Incluso estaría gracioso ambientarlo en los 60s, para dejarlo claro.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
