The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

They have added most of the stuff in that they said would be in it anyway so for that they atleast get a clap. Most wouldnt even do that.

My big problem about the game is that updates are about staying in a certain spot while the game is exploration

What choice did they have? Call it quits cause their reputation is gone or try to damage control as hard as possible.

Wasn’t most of the update about base building and things of that nature? From playing the game it forces you to explore new areas and its really hard to get back to where you were before as you need to remember all the jumps you made and such, they might have changed that though.

Most would just begin work on their next game and hope to come back from it.

I think they added the ability to teleport back and forth between your base and the space you exploring

Thats actually pretty neat. I might have to go back and check it out sometime. I found some really interesting places in that game with no way to get back to them so it would be good build a base on one of those planets.

Who’s gonna buy their games after a disaster like the initial launch?
They’re not a big company like EA or Ubisoft with lots of big IPs who’ll probably get back on track and sell more than enough games.

It might put people off buying their games initially but overall I don’t see it being a big problem for them. People might not buy their next game at launch but if its amazing everyone will forget and just enjoy a great game, plus them taking the time to fix No Mans Sky gives them some credibility back and shows they are willing a support their games no matter what.

idk. I like the Fable games but a lot of people seem to not like them cause Molyneux promised them heaven and only delivered a 3 day weekend.

Well thats just Molyneux and it never really got much better either.

Hello Games lied in the same way, though. And they have to try to make things better because they’re indies without the financial backup of a giant company like Microsoft (in the end they killed Lionhead Studios…).
Being too ambitious and bathing in the attention from media coverage, being on latenight shows, etc. didn’t work out for them too well.

I agree they need to get their heads down and focus on making great games instead of being in the media spotlight and put all of this behind them but as you said they are not financially backed so it could be difficult for them but I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and go into their new game opened minded. If its a great game I will play and won’t hold any grudges.

Also another thing that is hurting indie devs is the fact that they are in early access for so long that the fact that is released is just looked over and never talked about
