    It's actually impressive how the devs made a game where you play as King Kong and they designed the worldspace to make it feel like you're just a regular sized gorilla

      It was the weight and motion. Monster hunter managed to make small looks big and heavy, and big things looks absolutely enormous. It's because the environment respond to monsters. The environment is WEAK. Show it!
      In this game, you're a giant ape that somehow at the mercy of environment instead. What a chod.

    For people who are curious, this game has been developped by IguanaBee, a small studio that has made about 5 games that clearly are not anywhere near what you would call "AAA" titles (more on the side of mobile games actually). And it has been published by GameMill, a publishing company that base their economic model on selling licence games for the sake of generating profit.
    From my understanding as a junior artist who has worked in a similar type of games studio here in France, under greedy publisher, you can be sure it's basically a command...
    The publisher say "hey can you make that soulless game idea about King Kong that no one asked for? Here's some money." and the studio accept because they need it to grow as a company to actually make their own passion games, then they may have about one year to finish it, with a team mostly composed of interns and people who do not always have the experience on next-gen games (working with open areas, bigger scope, ...) and they send it to the publisher, who sells it for 40 bucks, which we can all agree, is absolutely shameful and outrageous...
    So yeah, this side of the gaming industry really sucks, and I do hope it gets better.

    Fun fact: That dinosaur on the loading screen for a moment (I don't know if it shows up later because I haven't played it and I haven't watched that far into the video yet) is basically *directly* ripped from an unused concept for Jurassic World. For those who don't know, Jurassic World (then called Jurassic Park IV) was originally going to feature a fictional newly discovered dinosaur called the Malusaurus as the main dinosaur antagonist before it was replaced with the hybrid dinosaur Indominus Rex, and it's essentially a one-to-one match. The nose crest, small sail with spikes on the top and sides, long arms, quills on the neck, it's all there. Even the patterning is similar, with the stripes and red on the head. I guess Universal technically legally owns the design since they own both Jurassic World and King Kong at the moment, but come on.

Compare that to Gollum where it was nothing but studio mandated hype the entire time. Game awards trailers, all kinds of previews, delay after delay just to get it right.

    I think the reason that both Game Mill and IguanaBee exist is that they make cheap games in short times that can sell enough by keeping you over the 2-hour refund margin. They have been doing the same for years now, and I think it's obvious how this game didn't take them too long. I would love to know who's idea was to release it in this state, Game Mill or Iguana.

    • @DeniedFella
      @DeniedFella ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think a lot of people have a misconception about steam refunds. The developer does not lose money. Valve eats the cost of a refund. If there is enough refunds they may delist the game but generally speaking no one is losing money from refunds except Steam/Valve.

    • @Chazitoh
      @Chazitoh ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @DeniedFella that would be an awful business model. That is not entirely how they work. For example, steam pays developers each month, the refund timeframe is 2 weeks, so all refunds before steam pays you at the end of the month just are counted as having no sells, so basically as a dev you get no money. Steam is the one responsible for paying you back, but that money js deducted from what the dev would've got at the end of the month.
