This makes me very happy. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of developers.

LATER: (March 31 2007) The article is gone. The gist was that GalCiv 2 was one of the top-selling games that week. There were other details, but they elude me now.

Next PostMorality in GalCiv II

From The Archives:

Spider-Man

A game I love. It has a solid main story and a couple of really obnoxious, cringy, incoherent side-plots in it. What happened here?

 

Deus Ex and The Treachery of Labels

Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.

 

Tenpenny Tower

Bethesda felt the need to jam a morality system into Fallout 3, and they blew it. Good and evil make no sense and the moral compass points sideways.

 

Project Octant

A programming project where I set out to make a Minecraft-style world so I can experiment with Octree data.

 

Video Compression Gone Wrong

How does image compression work, and why does it create those ugly spots all over some videos and not others?
