Make no mistake, Xbox was the star of Gamescom 2024. Well, that and Monster Hunter Wilds. But in terms of companies, there was no booth bigger or more involved than what Xbox had in Cologne. Of course, it helps that Xbox's historical rivals – Sony and Nintendo – were entirely absent from the event. It was a surprise, to me at least, considering both console giants have pretty large games arriving on shelves in early September, and there is playable event code for both.

You know the games you love – but do you know why you love them? Can you explain why something is cool, but something else just doesn't do it for you? Most people can't, and it is a tricky challenge even for game developers. While players can often identify elements they like – such as colors, puzzles, or characters – they rarely can elaborate why the elements appeal to them.

Up until around 2014, preorder numbers were strongly correlated with financial success. They were used as the main metric for determining an upcoming game's chance of hitting its goals. Unfortunately, this caused a common feedback cycle problem with key performance indicators - the more you optimize for the metric itself, the less that metric continues to correlate to what you actually want to know.

It seems like there is no built-in text wrapping component for having sprites in between words in a label. It is also tedious and tricky to manually calculate the sprite boundary. I hope text wrapping will be included in the future updates.
