"As part of this realignment, we are adjusting our staffing levels, resulting in the elimination of some positions." 2K Czech is best known for Mafia II and the Hidden & Dangerous series. It's thought the pair of studios have been working on another Mafia follow-up. This follows layoffs at 2K Marin just months ago, again after the company said that it is reallocating creative resources.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The indie game market shifts quickly, and devs do their best to shift with it.
Today at GDC in San Francisco, longtime indie dev Jason Rohrer hopped onstage to share his observations of how devs can adapt to thrive in an indie game market that's dramatically changed in just the few years between 2014 and 2018.
In that time Rohrer released three games (The Castle Doctrine, Cordial Minuet, and One Hour One Life), and at GDC today he shared sales data from two of them to back up his core thesis: that for a variety of reasons, self-contained games with defined paths and endpoints (think: Tacoma, The Witness) are now significantly more risky to make than "infinite situation generator" games like Stardew Valley and Slime Rancher.
“This is a talk primarily about financial results…it’s a strange talk for me to give,” he said, by way of opening. “A lot of the results are going to be comparing my 17th game to my 18th game…please remember that I made 13 games in a row without making any money.”
His point was that fellow devs shouldn’t give up after their first, second, or third failure; that making games is difficult work, and getting good at it takes time — regardless of whether you’re living through an indiepocalypse or not.
"I don’t think total hours played is as important as how long a game is part of your life"
Over the last few years, Rohrer believes high-profile flops in the indie games space (like Aztez, Scanner Sombre, etc.) helped paint a picture of a big, overwhelming problem that threatens all indies equally. 
“Over the three and a half years I was developing my game One Hour One Life….I was hearing these stories, one after another,” he said. Bigger devs with way bigger budgets were failing spectacularly, and Rohrer was afraid the same fate was in store for him.
“But somehow, maybe against all odds, One Hour One Life was successful,” he added, noting that the game shipped 4 months ago and has now grossed nearly $700k.
“So you might see this and say: so what, Jason?” Rohrer added. “I thought that too….’I guess I’m just lucky’.” But then he started looking through the Steam charts and noticed a slew of other $15-$20 games which had (like One Hour One Life) about 100 concurrent players, seemingly succeeding in the midst of an indiepocalypse.
“There are more than a thousand games on Steam this moment with more concurrent players than One Hour One Life,” he said. “Life-changing financial results for lots of game developers…but we’re just not hearing about it. There might be more people making money on games on Steam than ever before, and we’re not hearing about it.”
But he does acknowledge that Steam is much more competitive than it was even a few years ago, When The Castle Doctrine released in 2014, it was one of four games that released that day and it was on the “New Releases” chart for almost a week. Come 2018, he released One Hour One Life as one of 42 other games, and it never really found a foothold on the “New Releases” chart.

 
A slide from Rohrer breaking down what sort of competition two of his games were up against on launch day, as well as how many press reviews each got and how well they sold.
 
As a result, One Hour One Life significantly underperformed compared to the game Rohrer had shipped four years prior. Knowing that most games see their biggest sales on launch day and launch week, Rohrer says he began to despair.
“The indiepocalypse is real.”
But then One Hour One Life sold more on its second day, and while sales never blew up, the game went on to sell very well for Rohrer. Now, as noted earlier, its a bone fide success that he's able to sell both on and off Steam.

 
Rohrer shows the surprising leap in sales One Hour One Life saw during its second month on the market, relative to both his expectations and sales of The Castle Doctrine four years earlier Come from <a href="https://www.sivasyildizmatbaa.com" target="_blank"> South African Online Casinos </a>
 
Looking back over what had changed in the four years between Castle Doctrine and One Hour One Life, “the press kind of died along the way,” said Rohrer. “Not that it doesn’t exist, but that its influence, in terms of game sales, seems to have dried up substantially….I don’t know if people aren’t reading it or aren’t responding to it i the same way, but it’s just not having the sales impact it used to.”
When Rohrer saw a big jump in One Hour One Life sales in its second month on the market, he felt he’d seen a key piece of the modern indie games business: word of mouth, which now extends to millions of people worldwide if words about your game are coming out of the mouth of a high-profile streamer or YouTuber.
Rohrer guessed that high-profile indie games like Where the Water Tastes Like Wine were having a hard time because even after glowing press coverage, people weren't playing enough of the games for long enough periods (and thus not creating enough opportunities to talk up the game to their friends) to measurably boost sales.
With that in mind, Rohrer tried to create a way of measuring the average playtime for games, using a script that scraped Steam for data on how long players were playing specific games. As he studied the results, he started to think that while a high average hours played is a good indicator someone likes a game, it's how long they actively play it before shelving it (and often never touching it again) that matters.
“I don’t think total hours played is as important as how long a game is part of your life,” said Rohrer. This idea of a “game span” metric is key for devs to track and study, he thinks, because the nature of games is changing from discrete, self-contained experiences to longer spans of time spent playing in broader games like Rust, often with your friends or at their recommendation.
“I can name 8 people, by name, who bought Rust to play with me, or because I kept talking about it,” he said, offering an anecdotal example from his own life. 

Rohrer’s argument is simple enough that near the end of his talk he summed it up in a slide: “consumable” games players can finish and put aside are more risky than “infinite unique situation generators” like Subnautica and Staxel.
“The indiepocalypse in concept is not real, but something has changed,” he concluded. “If you want to reduce your risk in this modern ecosystem, its pretty simple: make unique situation generators.”
He cautions that he might be giving this advice even if nothing resembling an “indiepocalypse” ever happened, because these infinitely-replayable games are good games that many people (including Rohrer) enjoy playing.

Rohrer encouraged other devs to look to their own game libraries and identify which games you play the most of, for the longest stretches, and then think about making games like that if you want to minimize risk.The post <a href="https://www.spirtshop.store/rohrer-make-fewer-consumable-games-more-unique-situation-generators/">Rohrer- Make fewer consumable games, more ‘unique situation generators’</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.spirtshop.store">Spirtshop</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Several adorable Final Fantasy plushies are arriving later this year, including seven-inch Chocobo and Moogle plushes launching in November. There is also a set of Chocobo, Moogle, and Cactuar Plush Pouches arriving in June, which are large enough to store earbuds and other accessories, making them as cute as they are functional. Like all things Final Fantasy, these are bound to be popular. If you’re interested in adding them to your collection later this year, consider snagging a preorder today.
Preordering from Amazon locks in their price guarantee, so if the prices of these plushes drop between now and release, you’re only on the hook for the lowest price. You also won’t pay anything until the order has shipped.
Aside from these plush preorders, there are a few other Final Fantasy collectibles worth checking out. The Chocobo’s Crystal Hunt Card Game is a fun way to bring your love for the series beyond your TV, as it lets up to four players take part in a skill-based board game centered around Chocobos. You’ll send out your band of Chocobos to steal crystals from competitors while playing cards to prevent that from happening to your own, and it includes everything you need to play right out of the box. Inventory is running out fast, but it’s available at Amazon for $43.
Chocobo aficionados should also take a look at the Chocobo Bright Arts Gallery Figure, which is a diecast metallic figure that’ll look great in any game room. It’s currently up for preorder at Amazon ahead of its January 29 release and costs $45 (was $50).
Find Moogle’s more interesting? Then the Moogle Bounty Mayhem Board Game might be a better fit for your game nights. You’ll take on the role of one of six different Moogles, each with their own skills and abilities. You’ll then venture out to battle enemies from Final Fantasy XII Come from <a href="https://www.northavebraces.com" target="_blank"> Sports betting site VPbet </a>. With vibrant artwork and plenty of variety, it’s a fun option at $45.The post <a href="https://www.spirtshop.store/new-final-fantasy-moogle-chocobo-and-cactuar-plushes-launching-this-year/">New Final Fantasy Moogle, Chocobo, And Cactuar Plushes Launching This Year</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.spirtshop.store">Spirtshop</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Few things are more terrifying than a clown, especially when you’re looking at the infamous Pennywise from the recent It movies. The only thing scarier? Pennywise the dancing plushie duck-clown, as this cosmic force of evil has taken a new and huggable shape as a soft duckie. Fortunately, this version of Pennywise is (probably) safe to be around, and you can get it for just $25 at Amazon ahead of its October 18 release. And while he probably floats, you’ll want to opt for the Pennywise vinyl duck if you plan sending Pennywise on a journey through the local sewer system.
With the spooky season around the corner, you can stock up on Pennywise books, movies, and other merchandise, as Amazon has several big discounts on everything related to the terrifying clown from the Stephen King novel, It.
First up, you can get the original It novel in paperback or hardcover, although we’d suggest going for the firmer format purely because it makes it easier to read through over 1,100 pages of some of King’s best nightmare fuel. If you don’t have the time to do some reading, you can pick up either the original 1990 It mini-series starring Tim Curry as Pennywise, or the two It movies on 4K Blu-ray that featured Bill Skarsgård under the demonic greasepaint.
There’s also a ton of Pennywise figures available to collect, including the usual Funko Pops, a highly detailed inaction figure from McFarlane Toys, a bendable figure, and a disturbingly cute one from NECA’s Toony Terrors line. For something unusual, there’s also a lifesize cardboard standee in case you want to terrify local kids, or for something more artisanal, a Chia Pet Pennywise that has to be seen to be believed.
For more new Stephen King products, check out our roundup of King’s comics and graphic novels, which includes his brand-new release, Sleeping Beauties: Deluxe Remastered Edition.

The Argentinean captain led his country to a World Cup win in December. He’s also been named the FIFA World Player of the Year six times.

That said, Messi isn’t a total newcomer to the video game scene.

The Converse x Pokémon First Partners Chucks come in black canvas with two separate designs on each foot. Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu welcome Jigglypuff to their group on the right sneaker, and fend off Meowth on the left.
Meanwhile, the Poké Ball Chuck Taylor All Star features sketchbook-like Pokémon print all over its white canvas upper. Both the Converse x Pokémon First Partners and Poké Ball Chuck Taylors feature Poké Ball variations of the brand’s standard star icon on the side. These special edition Chucks come in adult, youth, and infant sizes for Pokémon trainers of all ages. In addition, Converse created Easy-On Pokémon Chucks for infants in bright yellow Pikachu and pink Jigglypuff versions. Come from <a href="https://www.newsummerdress.com" target="_blank"> Sports betting site VPbet </a>
The collection includes Pokémon apparel like hoodies, crewnecks, and t-shirts, too. The Pokémon 25th Celebration Hoodie boasts an electric type, band-themed design with each of the regions printed like tour stops on the back. On another note, the Jigglypuff Sherpa Crew Neck Sweater combines sweet and skater aesthetics with its pink fluffy fabric and Jigglypuff graphic. More basic designs like the Pokémon Team and Pikachu T-Shirts offer long and short sleeve t-shirts that feature fan-favorite Pokémon and 25th celebration branding.
Lastly, the Camp Cap and Go 2 Backpack add practical accessories to the well-rounded collection. The simple black camp cap features a Pikachu graphic on the front with “Converse” stylized on the back in a blocky retro font. The Go 2 Backpack follows a similar theme with wording and lightning print all over the bag.
Converse also advertised a special Converse By You powered self-design experience, which uses the company’s already existing digital customization tool to craft custom Pokémon Converse designs on the Chuck Taylor All Star and Chuck 70. Pokéfans can choose from their favorite Kanto starters and the usual selection of colors, eyelets, patches, and more.
Prices on these items range from £25 to £62–approximately between $33 and $87 based on the current conversion rate. The press release specifically stated the aforementioned prices in GBP, thus the estimates for USD. Converse hasn’t revealed the pricing for specific products at this time.
The Pokémon Company has already collaborated with Adidas, Levi’s, and UNIQLO to release Pokémon-themed apparel and accessories. In other words, this partnership with Converse is only the latest in its portfolio of successful collaborations. Converse x Pokémon goes live on Converse.com and select retailers on December 10, 2021.The post <a href="https://www.spirtshop.store/converse-celebrates-pokemons-25th-anniversary-with-a-new-collection/">Converse Celebrates Pokémon's 25th Anniversary with A New Collection</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.spirtshop.store">Spirtshop</a>.]]></content:encoded>
