Let me share some positive news for a change: Despite all the gloomy headlines today, my understanding is that there are multiple paths actively being explored that would save Arkane Lyon. Anything can happen during negotiations, but at this point I'd be surprised if the studio is shut down.

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.

I adore Witch Hat Atelier. The anime has adapted the manga so beautifully. It's reignited a love for not only creating art but studying it and its history, so I was so happy when @crunchyroll.com reached out to partner on a commission. Please watch WHA! #crunchyrollpartner #witchhatatelier

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

Some say that making a smaller game or simpler game are ways to cut down on dev time. This is also true. But if you're making a game of any size that has any sort of consistent production methodology, a good way to make everything take longer is to change standards and pipelines in production.

As the length of video game productions has swelled to 6+ years, many people are trying to figure out how to reverse that trend. Here's some food for thought from the always-insightful Josh Sawyer, director of Fallout: New Vegas and Pentiment. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
