SadExchange Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I'm very much looking forward to Hard West. And am super happy to see the TBS games going strong with Wasteland 2: DC, Divinity: OS EE, Hard West, and then XCom 2 coming up. I just have been loving these games and have been appreciating the devs creating them. I'm sure by the time XCom 2 releases, I'll probably be settling into the alpha of Divinity 2. Good time to be a gamer, as always. 3
Nonek Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) I hear InExile are expanding with the aid of the good people of New Orleans, opening a developing college or somesuch, help in the regeneration of the area. Can't vouch for the veracity of the rumour but if true it speaks well of Mr Fargo's commitment to gaming. Edited October 21, 2015 by Nonek Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

Ganrich Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Inxile has been posting about their new New Orleans location today. I dint know the details, but that part is more than rumor. Whether it is to help regeneration of the area... I am unsure.
Zoraptor Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I'd suspect there are tax breaks involved, but then I'm pretty cynical.
Hurlshort Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I'd suspect there are tax breaks involved, but then I'm pretty cynical. Well there most likely are, given Louisiana's economy. But that doesn't necessarily take away from the idea that it will help with the economy of the area.
Keyrock Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) So long as the esteemed Mr. Fargo doesn't pull a Curt Schilling, I see this as a good thing. Given Mr. Fargo's extensive experience in video game developing and publishing, I think he'll do just fine.

Nonek Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I think Mr Fargo has a little more experience than Mr Schilling, however i've no doubt that there are both tax breaks and some degree of taking advantage of lower wages (compared to LA) factored into this venture. Still more high tech skills is no bad thing for any area, especially when those skills are in one of the few growth areas. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

Nonek Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) There are no plans for growth if the venture is successful? A pity.

Nonek, you should have realized by now that there is no money in making games. The money is in selling other peoples' games. Also 50 people is more than enough to make even AAA games. 1 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Nonek Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 It is always the middle man whom takes the cream, is it not? Reading of the North American Old West recently and this seems to be very much the case, while panhandlers and miners slaved to bring in a few ounces of (undervalued) gold for provisions and survival, the merchants whom sold to them were reaping rich rewards from the inflated prices they could sell goods and gold at. A fascinating period. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine.

Gfted1 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 ^Also see company scrip from that same general period. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Nonek Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Brought to my attention by Fallout 2 of all games! Redding I believe, absolutely fascinating. Though of course games can teach one nothing but violence and sexism, ha. Edited October 22, 2015 by Nonek Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

Amentep Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 ^Also see company scrip from that same general period. And into the 1940s in - at least - the case of Coal Mining. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Malcador Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 The practice has been documented as recently as September, 2008. On September 4, 2008, the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice ruled that Wal-Mart de Mexico, the Mexican subsidiary of Wal-Mart, must cease paying its employees in part with vouchers redeemable only at Wal-Mart stores Heh, there's a surprise.

Kissamies Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I'm involved with this, so it's a bit advertise-y, but there's a Kickstarter of an action movie themed co-op shooter: Killing, My Friend. Its roots are in classic mods like Action Quake 2 and Action Half-Life. Some might remember those old mods or their later derivatives. Even Max Payne took some inspiration from Action, I think. I also remember some Alpha Protocol dev saying that he had worked on AQ2 when I invoked that mod while complaining about planned unlimited ammo or something like that. Anyways, the link speaks for itself. I have loved Action series for far too long to be very objective about it. SODOFF Steam group.

Lexx Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Wasn't there some kind of John Woo video game already a few years ago? Can't have been very good, because apparently everyone forgot about it. /Edit: here it is.

Keyrock Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 InXile has filed a trademark for Autoduel. Following the opening of their New Orleans studio, we’ve learned that inXile Entertainment has filed a trademark for Autoduel. Autoduel was released back in 1985 by developer Origin Systems, and it was known for being a vehicular combat game, with RPG elements. It was received well by critics, although it never got a sequel and is currently unavailable to purchase commercially (although the copyright is still intact). The new mark could be for a project this new satellite studio is set to task for, although it remains to be seen if this is indicative of anything the company is working on. Making a new RPG that harkens back to a classic is sort of inXile’s thing now, so it would make sense to see the developer go after revitalizing an older IP for new generations. Filing a trademark, of course, doesn't guarantee a game will ever get made, or when it will happen. Also, I admit that I never played Autoduel, so I don't really know if it's an IP worth reviving. Still, as a fan of Steve Jackson's Car Wars, I'm interested in whatever becomes of this, as it may produce something that at least somewhat approximate the Car Wars experience.
