3:10 … The Escapists has left the chat lol

1:37 homie is playing cod zombies irl wtf is behind that door 😂

Good job Thomas picking your guests' minds! This developer in particular has a nice way of looking at things despite his young age.

10:10 CDPR had a Witcher talk that discussed assigning work-to-value ratios for features. Basically you make your list of everything you want to put in the game. Then build out a matrix comparing how much work (time, money, skill/training) would be needed for implementation & testing, versus how important it would be to players (e.g. quality of life aspects get a high "value" score, but this could include marketability). Doing your homework around genre expectations, USPs, dev timelines, etc makes your values more accurate, but even a good-guess goes pretty far. I've found it to be a great way to counter scope-creep, as it takes a lot of the subjectivity out of the equation. You could of course add a third value for "how much I/we want this", and weigh it appropriately in the calculations 😄

Gavin's done it again Thomas and Gavin are like an incredible duo. I'm watching all of your videos

Great seeing you two as always super informational. Love his humility about success around this game already, we know it’s going to be big. And that door behind him is insane engagement tactics, I’ve never seen something in a video get so many comments consistently lol

Goooood points on tempering feature/scope creep. I'd like to hear more of this interview.

cant wait for the full interview!!!!

i really like how he is constantly avoiding being put on the pedestal of being a genius or anything like that. "i was lucky", "i had already an audience", etc.

I’m actually not a chuuchuu fan but a big fan of the dev. Smart and to the point 👍

Why is everyone so confused? Yall are acting like you dont lock your doors

The cutting edge seems to be making adult games for kids. It's the basis for the whole mascot horror trend, palworld, cuffbust, anime games etc. These games generally weren't made before because they're not exactly something parents or shareholders approve of, so the big companies stayed away from that stuff. But indie devs have nobody to answer to, so they can make these niche games that push the boundaries of what's acceptable content to be marketed towards children. Who knows how long roblox will get away with their legally grey form of child labor before regulators step in, but until then gaming is basically the wild west

Ideas are cheap and not everything. The execution on the idea is what matters and what makes a game hard to make. You can iterate 10 ideas in an hour. And the clue bout this is... there no new idea. Everything was already made. So iterate your own thing on something that already exists and do it better.

Gavin's thought process is truly refreshing

Hope there is nothing strange behind that door 😂

if anyone is interested A way out had a supposed budget of 3.5 million and as of 2021 (two years after launch) has made 23 million

10:00 "Majority of the time should be spent on the most important things" shows goofy ahh jailien twerking

This was great! Can't wait for the full interview!

3:43 i seriously got whiplash seeing footage from a ratskewer video here LOL
