HELLO, BROS. How is it going? This post will be super quick and super short. Don't blink or you'll miss it. ^_^


THE WORLD NEWS. Two flops from two different corporations happened last week. Assassins' Creed from Ubisoft and Snowwhite from Disney. Not that I care too much about it but it was really wholesome to see gamers rally behind Yasuke Simulator. And they also left plenty of heartwarming reviews as well. This whole thing kind of reminded me of the early days of the internet.

STEAM DECK. I have purchased it a while back actually, and was waiting for the right moment to brag about it, but I am starting to think "the right moment" will never come. So there is that.

THE SHOP. Nothing new in the shop this week. Sorry. Will try to add something next week.

THE WORK. Spent last week writing. And rewriting, and writing again. Nothin to report really, just really tedious process of turning my ideas into text.

THAT IS ALL. Thank you for your support, and I will see you all next Monday. Laterz.

well yeah. Aka Sensei plantet the Seed and now we watch that dang tree growin' aight? :D

Awesome fast, well the whole AAA western entertainment industry is in a bad moment, which is great for Indies. This is capitalism, your product is bad, people don't buy it, as simple as that.

DeadMan

Purity broke AC right after the start. The game is shit taking mods to run properly. I want a steamdeck, but I'm not as rich as you and my pc needs an upgrade first. New boards and cpu's aren't cheap.

TheGagzu

AC Shadows has a Very Positive tag with 9.000 reviews on Steam being the greatest seller of the franchise on that platform... and it cost 60bucks, how's that a flop? XDu

Just started playing Split Fiction this weekend with my sister. Gotta say, both of us are having a blast here. Never thought I'd see a day in this day and age where I will be praising an EA game. 😅

Can you tone down the irrational racism? "ASSASSIN'S CREED SHADOWS BAD BECAUSE THERE'S A NIGGER IN IT AND GAMERS ON TWITTER SAY IT'S 'WOKE'! WAAAAAAHHHH!" God damn, grow up dude and stop parroting shit spouted by manchildren. I can't even fucking follow you on twitter because you spend half the time crying about how video games don't have hardcore sex or ladies you want to jack off to, as if porn doesn't exist. You're an artist that cries about censorship, yet you try and tell OTHER artists in the game industry what they're allowed to create? Hypocritical much? I know you Russians hate it, but TRY and develop some self-awareness, Akabur.

How do I need to "grow up" exactly? Elaborate. How is being against racism immature? How is defending artists' creative freedom immature? How is citing hypocrisy immature? How is calling out childishness immature?

You decided to come on a artist's patreon and call him racist because he doesn't like a product. Grow up. Play more of Akaburs games. Maybe you'll learn something.

邪神スレイヤー
>>168793665

I called him racist because it's obvious what his motivations are behind saying a game "flopped", knowing his history and the communities he surrounds himself in, while touting a different obviously racist product. You're either stupid or disingenuous. I've played all of Akabur's games before you did, child. (Queen Trainer was a sad skeleton of a game) I was aware of and following him back when he was sharing his first TMNT and Lara Croft drawings in 2008. You failed to answer my 3 other questions.

My girl and I have been playing it as well this past week and laughing the entire time. It makes us want to play It Takes Two again as well.

you should run a few laps around the block. getting rid of all that negative energy. or maybe your stomach hurts? it can cause angry behaviour like yours.

Uthan The Perverse

That explains your newly acquired interest in Linux.

I haven't played It Takes Two yet. It is in my list. Will give it a look once this is over.

Akabur is in the other side of the spectrum of "WTF happened to you?" that Shadman was xD

邪神スレイヤー
>>168793665

Kind of? Shadman was always tongue-in-cheek and never took anything seriously. He would mock both sides of the spectrum, making fun of political correctness, racism, magatards, etc. In my opinion he was never on a "side" and made fun of everyone while drawing sexy ladies, femboys, futanaries, trans, incest, etc. Akabur spends SO MUCH time on social media and on here insisting that the games industry is victimizing him by... doing things that don't appeal to him personally.

Notsukau

Oh, that gif at the end of post. It rises my hope that it implies some possible broadcasted mission for Ashelin and Daxter ;p

Crescent Noir

The Assassins creed game looks great

The solo Daxter was one of my favorite games. Him hunter bug creatures In a really interesting & well designed world

Boy, you are the reason the "block" button exists. Good bye.

Pazitkai

Happy to say, your games run on a steam deck. Lol

Nepurin

Ngl, that’s is a nice looking handheld emulation machine you have there. Honestly, nothing warms my heart like seeing soulless corporate slop losing money. It feels like Capcom is the only big video game company that makes games gamers want. Good luck in writing, and have a blessed week Aka!

Funny, I don't see where he said anything about ACS (Edit: he did say it's a bit of a flop and by actual metrics and expectations this is factual). He mentioned Yasuke Simulator, which is a hilarious indie game with a thick helping of actual Japanese satire and a catchy soundtrack. You must be very easily confused in life since one is a triple A money pit and the other is a quick indie comedy piece. Now kindly pipe down, someone who actually makes the games they want to see in the world has things to say.

Trevor Bond
>>168792367

I understand your confusion. It's a matter of metrics. Black Flag sold 11 million copies in a year. Valhalla sold over 20 million. Most sales of big ticket games are on release, which to whit is 2 million players (not sales, PLAYERS, including those on the subscription service) for Shadows. Since the constant demand by investors is growth merely having big numbers out the gate isn't enough if sales and player base drop off a cliff once the 'youtube rush' runs it's course. Sure the player count high of 64 thousand looks impressive. But Helldivers 2 is currently running 48 thousand at 1 AM midweek and it's already survived a player hemorrhage event. Hell right now there are 1500 players on BLACK FLAG.... a game that's 11 years old. 2 million copies and a bunch of positive reviews is a financial fart in the wind to a company as massive as Ubisoft. You think developing and marketing it took less than the 120 million that a 60 dollar retail pricetag of 2 million units reaches BEFORE taxes are ripped out of it? And keep in mind it's been in development for 5 years. I wish games were that cheap to make. Never let big numbers dazzle you, the game may manage something yet but so far it's a definitive flop and the growth has already stalled. It might surprise people, but I wouldn't put money on it despite all the screaming about it by the paid pro-shills and the positive spin by some media outlets. Remember, this game and their attitude also cost them pretty much any goodwill Japan had for the series, and that's a rather large market for video games. When you pre-lose a large body of gamers projections become grimmer. It's not the most devastating loss some are painting it as, in fact it may come in over Odyssey long term, but with Ubisoft bleeding goodwill, player base, money and talent 'good enough' isn't going to be good enough. They needed a smash and they corked that up real bad, so bad the game's actual quality may not matter. Remember no matter what you want to do with a game you have to have an audience large enough to make it a profit, and the larger your company the larger that profit has to be. And Ubisoft is VERY LARGE.

"by actual metrics and expectations this is factual" Wrong. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/03/assassins-creed-shadows-broke-ps-store-sales-records-for-ubisoft AC: Black Flag sold 15 million copies. AC: Valhalla sold between 12 and 15 million. AC: Shadows is already the 2nd highest selling game in the series, which means it's already beaten Valhalla. That is not a "flop" in any way, it's on track to become the highest selling game in the franchise. Why are you TRYING to say it's flop? Because racism. Your whole position is bullshit based on your bias. Yasuke simulator is a GTA parody game trying to imply black people are criminals who belong in games focused around modern crime. Now kindly shut the fuck up and stop being a disingenous little bitch and acting like Akabur isn't being a stupid hypocritical bitch who's telling other game devs what NOT to do. Dumbass.

Yeah, at this point the only entertainment I get from modern videogames is seeing them flop. Well, that's better than nothing I guess. -_-
