As someone doing the writing, design and code but not the art, sfx or music for my game, i would never call myself a “solo dev”…
I'm a solo developer and I've pretty much all of the writing, design and coding myself. That's not to say I haven't been blessed with INCREDIBLE freelancers who have all shaped the game in their own major ways! Below is my thread of fantastic #Skald freelancers! 🧵

This is a fraction (a few of our PS4 devkits) of the infrastructure that builds Call of Duty 24/7. Add PS5s, XBox gen 8+9, thousands of CI/CD worker VMs (100s of Dell R650-class hosts), GPUs/VGPUs, phones+Mac hosts, and you have our massive “COD scale” build/test infrastructure.

The most important factor in a game spreading w/o marketing is playtime. If a player plays for 15 mins, even if they liked it, there is a much lower chance they tell a friend. Play for a month, they will bring it up often during that month, even if it wasn’t their favorite game
"a game needs to be GOOD to sell well" is a common gamer assertion that does not hold up to even 30 seconds of scrutiny

Frequently, I’ve come to regret things I’ve said. This, from 2001, is not one of those times:

Is it "distributed" or "installed"? How was this announcement not 100% solid on the language weeks ago?
Replying to @CactusVRStudios
We leverage our own proprietary data model, so you can appreciate that we won’t go into a lot of detail, but we believe it gives an accurate determination of the number of times the runtime is distributed for a given project.

Get ready for a glut of huge games filled with the most generic dogshit characters and story imaginable.
we're entering a new era in AI-first game creation ☀️ up to now AAA games like Red Dead Redemption 2 cost $500M and took over 3,000 people 8 years to make with generative AI, small teams can ship at near AAA quality but at a fraction of the cost & time a few thoughts 👇

I’m not sure current AI art generators are generating original works of art. They may just be creating derivative works of copyrighted art they were trained on, tainting all commercial use. That’s one of the big questions separating research from an actual business opportunity.
