Great comment that I just read:
Hire people more talented than you are in their areas of expertise. Share your vision but collaborate on the outcome. Trust their choices when they may diverge from yours and make adjustments ONLY when necessary to keep the project aligned to the overall goal...

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

demonschool credits all 145 people who touched the game over the course of its multi-year dev cycle AND explains what exactly they contributed. the rest of the games industry, which commonly omits people from credits entirely, should be taking notes
![“We worked [on Hyper Gunsport] with a localization company that refused to give the names of the people that actually did the work; they just wanted to have their company name in there,” Sheffield said. “They say they do that because ‘It's the standard’ and ‘to avoid poaching’ or whatever, but I hate that and think it's total BS. … I've also seen a lot of folks complain about how they weren't credited on a game because they'd left the studio before the game they worked on was finished. And indeed, our lead 3D artist left two years ago. But he's still the first artist credited because he set the style and visual tone for a lot of the game. Not working on the game to the very end doesn't negate the work he did.”
The more Sheffield thought about how to meet the needs of so many different types of contributors – and discussed the matter on social media – the more a comprehensive, detail-oriented approach to crediting started to make sense.
“That had all been percolating in the back of my mind as we got close to finishing, and then it just sort of hit me as it came time for me to write the credits,” he said. “I discussed this approach with the team and everyone was fine with it, so we just went for it. We always want to credit everyone that touched the game, so even though the core team was 7 or 8 people at any given time, we credited around 145 people in Demonschool. Who cares if it's a lot of people? Who cares if it's long? They all did something and they deserve credit. And you basically can tell who the core team was by reading the descriptions. None of us are precious about that anyway.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreibksibak2xsgvbrid7evym3utz6yzfccilowfs7apv7b2sddssd3q@jpeg)

They do the same in Fortnite, they simply don't care 🥲
Funny thing, I'm two times in the credits because nobody cared to check that I was added two times in the company's employee database 🤣

if you want to see the opposite of this, check out the credits for ARC Raiders. Just three gigantic indistinct blocks of names with no titles or departments, separated only by company. It's so weird and vague they've gotta be hiding something.

I hate the "don't feed the trolls" approach. I can tell you from experience it doesn't work. As a woman in games, I've faced my share of harassment. Every time, I've been told by male peers to "ignore them". It's never worked.
Stand up for your marginalized peers. It's the least you can do.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

This is the model they created for Gameloft studios. Ask Gameloft ex employees if they liked it.
Oh man, I cannot think of a better way of inspiring creativity and creating great games than having "autonomous, efficient, focused and accountable business units". I can only imagine the amazing things this new studio with its accountable business units will put out into the world!

Git is great for code centric projects and agile.
Gamedev is neither of those.
Git LFS is not a solution.
You may survive in small indie projects, but it won't work the moment the art gets big. And nowadays it is really easy for the art to go big.
And plz, separate the art repo from the game repo.

Just to restate my stance.
1. I have seen several projects collapse due to forcing artists to use GIT for art assets.
2. Artists need instant sharing of latest by timestamp, never merges.
3. Art resource files are massive. PSD files, Substance files and Zbrush files are hecking huge...
