I still see this happen. "Pipeliness" studios many times I do consulting. In spite of having no pipelines of any kind, they still produce great games, engaging experiences, profitable apps. Only that they ship projects at a much higher cost than they could.

Have you ever drawn an analogy between film and music? The question may seem silly, especially since cinema is a visual art, but we have a lot to share in this regard. Perhaps you should take a look at the work of Damien Chazelle because there is no more musical director who is so precisely and sensitively able to synchronize melody and image. And we're not talking about the simple juxtaposition of music that is in every film - we're talking about something more sensual and aesthetic.

Creating a video game is not a simple task, it is a time and effort-consuming, and challenging process. It takes a team of developers, designers, 2D 3D artists, project managers, and producers to work hard to deliver a high-quality and lucrative game that will reach the top. As long as the gaming industry keeps expanding at high speed, the market gets highly competitive.

Recently, Leyla and I finally got a chance to try out Wingspan. It’s clearly a great game, and I expect to bring it to the table many times over the years ahead. I have a few thoughts on it, especially taking into consideration that the game is a huge hit, having sold well over a million copies. The Setting Matters and also Doesn’t Matter. Making the game about birds goes a long way to explain the breakout success of the game.

“Roguelike” was definitely a buzzword among game developers last year in China, and the shockwaves made by the boom can still be felt today – for example, still in May 2022, we spotted three new games that claimed to be “roguelike” entering the Chinese iOS top-grossing top 200 list.
