I really should have said this first - my DMs are always open for anyone who needs help getting through job loss. I will do design reviews, code reviews, resume reviews, cover letter reviews, or offer general coping-with-job-loss advice to any who need it askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/178450231…
Why would a cross-platform game not go to a particular platform? (Spoiler: Could be technical, financial, or any of a number of other reasons) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/802474844…
Why does Super Mario World on Switch 2 Virtual Console still have screen slowdown? Shouldn't better hardware fix that? (Spoiler: If the emulator doesn't allow for it, it won't happen) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/802384345…
How does "cutscene incompetence" work? (Spoiler: It's called 'ludonarrative dissonance' and it comes when different design groups operate independently) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/802112572…
What is de-duplicating, why did Helldivers do it, and why don't other game companies do it too? (Spoiler: It's an optimization that trades disk space for loading speed) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/801931278…
Could there be a reason that future content causes delays to dlc that's ready to release? (Spoiler: It would be rare, more likely there's a problem with the "finished" dlc) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/801840768…
What should a junior do to prepare for things like crunch or difficult relationships with coworkers? (Spoiler: Forewarned is forearmed) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/801750079…
Have you ever been in a situation like ME:Andromeda where the pillars of the game were cut out from under you? What did you do? (Spoiler: Yes. Nowadays, I see it coming and update my resume to look for a new job) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/801297139…
What about decoupling world state from frame rate on a technical basis? How do you do that? Why wouldn't you? (Spoiler: It works great when frame rate goes up, but it doesn't do so well when frame rate goes down) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/801206482…
Why wouldn't the Kingdom Hearts 2 devs unlink the physics update from the frame rate? (Spoiler: When you're thinking only about the current project on the current hardware, you often make assumptions that don't hold true on a long enough timeline) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/801115882…
Why did Mass Effect Andromeda have so much trouble with Frostbite? (Spoiler: I speculate it is because the big tech features they wanted and eventually cut were difficult to do) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/800844263…
What does winning an award do for a game from the business perspective? (Spoiler: It's mostly about getting awareness for a product) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/800662924…
What kind of game genres have you worked on, but don't personally enjoy? What don't you like about them? (Spoiler: I have no problems playing any game for analysis and learning) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/800572417…
How do you deal with a rude co-worker? (Spoiler: Best not to show any reaction) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/800209951…
How long does it take for a game you worked on to see release? (Spoiler: Depends on the kind of project) askagamedev.tumblr.com/80011934430887…
Do you have any advice or tips for someone working in mobile games to transition to PC/Console? (Spoiler: Experience is fungible, so work on your specifics - your resume/CV, interviewing skills, etc.) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/800028719…
Thoughts on GTA 6 union busting? (Spoiler: This is a test of the new union's strength) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/799847540…
Do you play the games you've worked on after they've been released? (Spoilers: Sometimes. Not always) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/799575831…
As a gamer, I don't think crunch is bad. Crunch made some of the best games I've played. Don't developers sign up for it? (Spoiler: Crunch is mostly irrelevant to a game's quality and has a large human cost) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/799394686…
What do I need to direct a AAA game? (Spoiler: A lot of skills and a strong network... or a lot of money) askagamedev.tumblr.com/79893796441364…
When switching jobs, do you play all the old games from the studio? (Spoiler: I research the games before the interview, not after I accept the offer) askagamedev.tumblr.com/79884728565409…
