Watching the new season of Castlevania by @powerhouseanim relly makes me wish we could get a similar high-quality animated series for the story around Gregor Eisenhorn. That would be epic beyond words. #warhammer40k #40k

Wow... people really seem to hate the newly announced Diablo: Immortal game. I am interested to see how the game turns out, since its an interesting design challenge. To be fair though, I don't enjoy mobile games and would probably not enjoy the game as a player. #diabloimmortal

Reading up a bit more on it... its apparently made by the same company that makes a "basically identical" game called Crusaders of Light. NetEase has already been basically 1:1 copying Blizzard's art style.

Its probably easier for Blizzard to make a deal with them – for a Diablo-themed mobile game – then to try to pursue legal actions vs a Chinese developer. I would also guess this will be mainly oriented towards the asian market than the western.

In the end it probably won't affect the Diablo franchise. Diablo for PC will be a completely separate project.

It's now official – I will be taking over as Game Director for @StellarisGame. This has been brewing for some time, and I'm very excited in taking this next step. I'm very much looking forward to stepping up as a leader and leading the direction of the game. https://t.co/gn5p0zu2b6

@Everstill_Ghost @StellarisGame We will find out! I believe I communicate quite differently, though.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

I'm quite surprised by the sudden shutdown of @BlizzHeroes, and how poorly that was timed/communicated. Something doesn't quite seem right there over at @Blizzard_Ent. If I may speculate wildly, they might be moving more people to projects like Diablo 4 - cont.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

... so they can perhaps get D4 to a stage where it can be shown earlier than previously planned. After BlizzCon I would guess there's a lot of push from upper management to present things that keeps fans excited and investors calm.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

I might be very wrong here, but it really seems very sudden. The news aren't even up on the @BlizzHeroes main page.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

Also do note that I still think Diablo: Immortal can be a huge success in countries like China. Mobile is huge there. The biggest streams I've seen on https://t.co/YV2VyfxIkr were mostly @PUBG mobile, with millions of views.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

Regardless of that though, I firmly believe its still very important to know your audience and to have a good communication strategy. We've seen too much of the contrary from Blizzard recently.

@Satakranak Do we really though? I think they are so weird and generic.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

@Satakranak Yes, but I find Sir Cuddlesworth III to be more memorable than birp. Still though, there are probably reasons for it, I just made the weird observation.

Had an interesting UX thought while listening to Thinking Fast and Slow - bad fonts may increase learning by triggering the lazy system 2.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

The book refers to an experiment in which students who were given a test with barely legible fonts did better at answering certain questions, than those who were given clearly legible fonts.

"Creativity is associative memory working exceptionally well." - Sarnoff Mednick, 1960s

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

That bad fonts boost cognitive capabilities seems counterintuitive, doesn't it? Scientifically though, it apparently does.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

@_mkfg As far as I know, cognitive studies do not have the bad association with bad replicability that some behavioral studies do.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

@uxigadur That's what the book talked about, yes. The fast and efficient system 1, vs. the slow but thorough system 2.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

@uxigadur Maybe. It's an interesting hypothesis, but I have no frame of reference to say if it's likely or unlikely. We also have to remember that engaging system 2 is tiring, so we humans want to avoid using it when we can.

@condorscondor @QWieke @gr_press Do you guys not think the reporters are pretty diverse? Or do you specifically need someone african-american to pass? I'd be interested to know why.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

@gr_press @condorscondor @QWieke Well, I should probably have phrased it better, but I saw a very diverse repoprting team, which certainly wasn't just "white men". It seemed like baiting from her part.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

@Golwar Good point, and that I should def. have thought about that part. As a voter block, I can see why it would be important to feel represented.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

@condorscondor @gr_press @QWieke She seems like a populist, just like Trump. Isn't that what you do then? Bait for responses, both from your own camp and opponents? At least I think so.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

@Schwaiger_Chris Well, hopefully they are, yes. I certainly do not claim that prejudice does not exist, but this did seem like a genuine effort to hire a diverse reporting team, while still looking for the best talent.

almost 6 years ago - dmoregard - Direct link

@Golwar I definitely need to remember not to use unnecessary pejoratives, but I still stand by the essence of what I was trying to say.

@gr_press @condorscondor @QWieke @PdxInteractive @PDX_Dev_Studio @Martin_Anward @StellarisGame I'm honestly glad that I'm getting reactions and hearing other people's perspectives, why they may think I am wrong, or what I am missing.
