Fellow Helldivers, we are so back. Arrowhead Games have listened to their players and buffed everything in the name of democracy, and the effects on the player base have been immediate. Helldivers 2's first major patch, part of Arrowhead's 60-day plan, focuses on keeping players alive longer and making Bots and Bugs easier to kill. The patch brings a 4,500-word update, with key changes including a reduction in headshot damage from 100% to 50%, though damage to other body parts is increased to maintain gameplay intensity. Arrowhead promises more updates and is actively seeking player feedback for future improvements, with another balance pass planned by Day 60. Reminder: In a game, especially one without player-vs-player, updates should prioritize fun above all else.

It won three categories at The Game Awards: Best Independent Game, Best Mobile Game, and Best Debut Indie Game. Balatro has achieved an unprecedented success rate of 99% positive reviews on Steam from 78K reviews.

In the first 8 hours after its release on Steam, the game generated $1,000,000 in revenue. To date, it has grossed over $4,000,000. What is Balatro, and why is everyone so crazy about this game (including us)? Let’s dive into the review. Read: https://lnkd.in/disUkxYT by Alex Sakuta #poker

How to make a game that's successful and wins game of the year? Well, at the The Game Awards last night, a guy whose led a team to do it (Swen Vincke) told you... and it's gold... My favorite highlights in case you missed it... 1. Make a game you want to play that hasn't been made before. 2. Don't treat devs like numbers on a spreadsheet or your users as something to exploit. Put the game and the team first. 3. Care about your game, because you love games.

Swen Vincke is absolutely the leader of game industry to keep us game devs in check on what successful games are. And why we make games This resonated with me hard “Studio made their game because they wanted to make a game that they wanted to play themselves. They created it because it hadn't been created before.” Too many studios’ leadership is hyper focused on chasing trends, prioritizing investors by exploiting players for short-term profits, making arbitrary decisions, and creating games they don’t even enjoy or play.
