If you work in games marketing or make trailers for games do you play the game you’re working on? (I’m researching for a video) I especially want to hear stories from people for whom the answer is no (or if they’ve work with or under people who either never played the game or played very little)

I was discussing last week with a music composer friend out of the industry, who was offered 1000€ for a three months gig working on a prototype. He was so happy he was even proposed something at all, that he almost considered accepting it.

Gonna start a first timer Mass Effect thread. PLZ NO SPOILERS I KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE SERIES. I was told to embrace for several emotional impacts and something about space birds. Here we go!

Spoke with King of Dragon Pass designer David Dunham about Thousand Hells, his upcoming "tactical narrative" game that's aiming to make a new watermark for storytelling systems he formalized in the '90s: www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/th...

The designer of cult classic King of Dragon Pass says his upcoming hellish heist game is pushing the boundaries of a concept he invented in 1999: 'There's really nothing else quite like it'

Thousand Hells: The Underworld Heists is a unique enough game that it needed a new genre descriptor.
