@jasonschreier Even at our small studio we seem to be on a one game per console life cycle schedule. It takes a long time to concept, prototype, develop, test, release, bug fix, port, bug fix, etc. Especially if youโ€™re trying to do something you havenโ€™t done before.

Seems like a lot of the folks asking what we did to implement 4 day work weeks are more so looking for permission to try it. Uh, give it a try. It rules tbh. We just decided to do it and then did it. There's no secret method or anything. I promise!

Bugsnax has been out for a few months now, and it's wild that even after being free for PS5 PS+ users for most of that time it has outsold Octodad's launch PS sales. The team at @YoungHorses is so grateful for everyone's support!

Is there a term for this yet? Where a company who does one thing okay (not necessarily great) decides that they need to pivot into being a company that does 20 things poorly. Never ends well and feels like a hail mary investor courting play.

After having tried out 4 day work weeks @YoungHorses for a few months we've decided to keep them as the standard. (~32 hours, M-Th) It was an easy decision once we saw no real change to our productivity/output week to week. From our chat, "I never want to work Friday again."

@jzux The constant string of contradictions between what believers said and what their day to day actions were, along with the overall church being the same way. Iโ€™m not one for blind faith. โ€œBelieve this because we said soโ€ is only convenient for comfort and the church purse.

Anecdotally there are still plenty of normal people who look at 1080p vs 4K and donโ€™t see a difference. Just like they didnโ€™t between 720 and 1080 etc. Or even if they do see a difference itโ€™s negligible and the price hike isnโ€™t worth it. The same goes for 30fps vs 60fps.
