Transcripts
game design more like lame design good
game design is outdated too difficult
and just not profitable anymore just
look at the complete failure of Hi-Fi
Rush the game got overwhelmingly
positive reviews on Steam but yet if you
look at the Microsoft stock the date
that Hi-Fi Rush released there was a
massive drop in their stock value it's
clear bad games are just better than
good games for this reason I will
continue to only make bad games with the
dumbest ideas possible and you know this
one is dumb cuz I stole it from Magic
the Noah it's a normal game but none of
the players can see each other so
basically they must move around the map
while looking for each other but also
keeping themselves hidden at the same
time here's the result I'll try it
you're up first okay hello all right you
can move a direction now okay oh I get
to move myself this is awesome can you
