Really early on, you only have one to five senior devs working on building a prototype for the approved pitches. If the prototype gets approved, the team ramps more and builds an entire playable demo that demonstrates all of the major game systems at work.

It shows the everyday work of medium-scale commercial game dev in unprecedented detail: the creative high of successful collaboration as well as the ugly prototypes, grueling bug fixes, and painful miscommunication. Meanwhile, Sony is happy with the VR demo, and the studio is getting more experienced with Unreal.

Observance is a game of stargazing, engine building, and time management.

Consumer protection is pretty obvious: with so many games coming out, there is no way for somebody to try them all, play the demos, or print out the print-and-play games. Lastly, board game reviewers have audiences separate than the one you’ve been building on your own. The Strategy of Reaching Out.

When building the multiplayer API, two forms of network communications were introduced: RPCs to call functions remotely, and RSETs to set variables remotely. This seemed like a good idea at the time: RSETs were a fast way to prototype, and easily make your game networked… or were they? Removing RSETs. Second, performances are bad!
