State of the industry talks is Fargo's current pet project.

I imagine he'd rather not talk about the state of his own company right now.

Colin McComb made a VR game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/716000/Space_Dragon/



OK!

Is 3lb games just a brand name for inXile?

No, it's Colin's personal studio/brand name, existed before he joined inXile I believe.

Hmmm....? Wasn't he out of the gaming business before joining inXile? Also, isn't inXile deep in that VR shit?

Not quite, I think he dabbled in mobile stuff.

My google alert for "inxile" just sent me an email about a new Kickstarter reference, but there is nothing new there.

Maybe something will popup there.

Numenera 2,it will have 3 millions worlds and 6 battle encounters! If you kickstart them now they will get H. P. Lovecraft to write a character!

A really fun episode! Game industry veteran Brian Fargo stops by to talk with Jeremy about his career, crowdfunding, and the "state of the industry" in game development.

Listening to this now.

Brian says there'll be a major Bard's Tale IV update next month with gameplay footage, and that the money raised in the Kickstarter is less than 25% of the game's budget.

I don't personally think that I can trust anything that's connected to Fargo and InXile like this.

Have you ever wanted to destroy a game studio?

Write what you know and all that.

 

[circ]

lots of really furious people in this thread. Did you guys back some of his games or something?

 

[CptMace]

Unsurprisingly, Fargo is eager to experience the feeling of raising 10 billions dollars in crowdscamming.

Wew I can finally use this smiley

 

[FeelTheRads]

oh, so exciting, yet another VR device that will totally change the world

Title TBD

Ever since the early days of Nintendo there has been a debate about the need for a curated game distribution. The small developer saw curation as a tool for the larger companies to shut them out of a marketplace while the larger companies worried about a system with no gates. Thanks to the toolsets of Unity and Unreal it is easy for small companies to push games out at an unprecedented rate. We've seen the results of this in the iOS store and the PC digital space appears to be hitting the same saturation levels. What are the solutions to the friction of giving developers visibility opportunity without moving to a fully closed system?

February 22nd.

the topic of curated game distribution and other possible ways to showcase developers in the future

Looks like Fargo found another scapegoat for T:ToN's abysmal sales.

Make a product worth buying and it would get visibility.

Make a product worth buying and it would get visibility.

By that logic, Skyrim is the best RPG ever and ADOM is complete crap.

[felipepepe]

BTW, now we know that Fargo's talk at DICE will likely just be a huge ad for his new game store, taking about just how they will disrupt the way digital retailers work, etc...

Hey, inXile will announce their "new strategic investor" soon: https://venturebeat.com/2018/01/20/...chain-is-key-to-an-alternative-pc-game-store/

GamesBeat: So, is [Robot Cache] a post-retirement thing?

Brian Fargo: Hey, I got a lot to do in the next three years. I have to make my biggest impact. I’m in a hurry. At inXile, we’re going to announce we have a new strategic investor, which is a huge deal, in the next week or two. You’ll want to know about that. It’s around a product. I have a particular piece of talent. It’s a new category we’re going into. It’s a pretty big play. But not as big as this.

(This interview is from last week btw.)

I guess he's referring to that open world survival VR RPG.
