When you realize writing 100+ reviews also means Versus has 100+ opportunities to go scorched earth on you.

I got to work on an Aliens RPG for SEGA from 2006-2009. Obsidian didn't have directors at that time, just leads who were all considered peers. It resulted in a lot of dysfunction when the leads didn't agree on how to do something. https://t.co/Zz6jRqYkD7 pic.twitter.com/JoxW5V3424

There were a lot of cool ideas in the works, but you don't ship ideas! The biggest lesson I learned from the experience is that if you don't have playable levels, you don't have much of a game (there are some exceptions, of course).

It's pretty rare. In my experience, it's only happened once: revisiting Van Buren/Black Isle Fallout 3 ideas for Fallout: New Vegas.

Even then it was more like taking ideas and using them as seeds than getting another chance to actually make the game as originally conceived. https://t.co/GsDCcUp6Wi
— Josh Sawyer (@jesawyer) April 16, 2023

On earlier Obsidian/Black Isle games, I think the potential for dysfunction was ameliorated by smaller teams and established tech pipelines.

"Vibes-based authority" worked on Icewind Dale -- we didn't even have leads! -- but that used Baldur's Gate tech on a ~25 person team.

I'll be checking out Minecraft Legends on Stream on Wednesday. Reviews are somewhat mixed and I've never really played that style of game before, but thankfully it is on Game Pass.

I also plan on checking out Benedict Fox at some point, as well as playing Redfall with my gf if her PC can handle it as it is like 5 or 6 years old at this point.
