The Discord Surrounding Anthem (In Reference To Kotaku's Article)

Hi, Kotaku published an article about the behind-the-scenes of Anthem's development. It covered stressed out developers, team members that were pulled away from the project to work on other games mid-development, team leaders that ignored or avoided specific feedback and conversations, a beautiful but problematic game engine: Frostbite, a launch time that allowed no more delays, and a twelve to sixteen month period of putting the game together. This article was a combined interview with nineteen developers, most of which remain anonymous. There is an insane amount of information about how and why things went wrong during the development process of Anthem that takes at least a full hour to read. As in-depth as it is, I feel that it doesn't have the full story and was mostly focused on the negative. But I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about what infuriates me in regards to this well written and deeply informative story. Readers taking thi

Realm Royale Will Not Receive Further Major Updates

The CEO of Hi-Rez Studios in a reply to a tweet , not even an announcement or pinned tweet, shared a statement on the discontinued support for Realm Royale . Even the official Realm Royale twitter account has still not shared this news or tweet. Like wtf? The tiny bit of good news is that Realm Royale will still remain open to be playable. It just will not receive any more major updates. It might receive small bug fixes at the most. What happened is Realm Royale was not making money. Hi-Rez's newest game, Rogue Company , made more money in the first month of Closed Beta than Realm Royale did in its entire lifetime. That is really sad and crazy to me. It's been generally known among any players in the community that pay attention that the dev team working on Realm Royale has been very small for a long time. We still had hope, though. And now, while that hope is gone, at least the truth is out, sort of. I think it's pretty despicable that they didn

Guide: Getting Started With Paladins

Hi! So, this post was actually a project I was assigned for work. The coolest assignment I've ever gotten while on this job for over seven years now. Do note: I do not work directly within the Hi-Rez company. Below is one of a couple guides I was asked to write for my team. I had fun writing it and I also really enjoy the game so I wanted to share it here as well. Paladins is a free-to-play hybrid of a first-person shooter and MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena). In recent years, “MOBA” refers to games like League of Legends and DOTA . Originally, MOBA referred to games like Unreal Tournament and Quake . To get started, there are six permanently free Champions you can play as: Cassie, Jenos, Lex, Ruckus, Seris and Viktor and four other free Champions that will rotate and change. Every Wednesday at 4AM ET two Champions will be changed that remain in free rotation for two weeks. Flank and Support or Front Line and Damage are always exchanged alternately. It’s not always easy to
