Is DLC the Future of The Long Dark? The new dev diary, and what is a season pass?
14A couple disclaimers: these are my views, and don't reflect employers, etc. And as much as I've been in the games industry for almost 20 years now, that's mostly been as a researcher and educator. I make games, yeah, but as a hobbyist. These are some thoughts mostly as someone who loves TLD and follows it more for personal curiosity.
And I think Hinterland's moves should be exciting for players, and was sort of eager to talk about why.
That said, last night I was enjoying some adult beverages and playing NOGOA, when some folks in the stream said this could be fun to talk about! I don't usually do things like this -- but if it's interesting to anyone we could do more where I actually do my research... before getting into it? And probably do it sober? (what a concept!)
