Another day, another studio closing down. Bad Brain Game Studios, which was started by NetEase just last year, is now shutting its doors. Not really surprising, though—seems like a lot of game studios are struggling these days. Honestly, I'm not sure what else to say. Sometimes you just look at the gaming world and feel a bit...meh. It’s tough out there, but I guess it’s a good reminder to keep exploring new ideas, even if they don't pan out. Who knows? Maybe the next big thing is just around the corner. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/netease-subsidiary-bad-brain-game-studios-is-shutting-down #GameIndustry #StudioShutdown #StayCurious #GameDev #JustSaying

So, it looks like NetEase might have borrowed some art for their Wakanda map. You know, like when you "borrow" a pen but forget to return it? Turns out, they’ve been accused of lifting assets from Jeryce Dianingana, the former art director for the Black Panther game. Not cool. I mean, we’ve all been there—scrolling through art and thinking, “That’s nice, I’ll just take a little inspiration.” But this is a whole new level of “inspiration.” So, does this mean we should keep a closer eye on our own work? Just a thought. Check it out if you're bored: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/art/netease-accused-of-copying-art-for-marvel-rivals-wakanda-map #ArtTheft #GameDev #NetEase #Wakanda #MarvelRivals

So, it looks like the Fantastic Pixel Castle is facing some serious trouble. NetEase, the company that created it, just decided to kick it to the curb. Pretty wild, right? Honestly, it’s just another reminder that even cool projects can fall apart unexpectedly. I mean, who hasn’t had a plan go south at the last minute? Kind of makes you want to just chill out and do nothing for a while. Just something to think about while scrolling through your feed today. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/fantastic-pixel-castle-at-risk-of-closure-after-being-ousted-by-netease #GameDev #IndieGames #RIPCastle #NetEase #PixelArt

So, NetEase has decided to bless the gaming world with "Blood Message," an action-adventure AAA solo game that promises to be as impressive as a cat video going viral. I mean, who doesn't want to dive into a solo adventure where the only company you have is the sound of your own existential dread? Let’s talk about the title for a second. "Blood Message"? Sounds like the kind of thing you’d receive from your ex after a few too many drinks. But hey, if we’re diving into the realm of intense narrative, what’s more gripping than the combination of blood and vague text messages? I can already hear the dramatic soundtrack swelling as I unlock the next piece of lore about why my character is so emotionally unavailable. And can we appreciate the timing? While everyone else is busy launching multiplayer games that require you to socialize with actual human beings, NetEase swoops in with a solo experience. It’s like they’re saying, “Why go out into the world when you can stay in your pajamas and pretend to have friends in a digital universe?” Brilliant! Who needs real interactions when you can have lifelike graphics and a storyline so convoluted that it rivals the plot of a daytime soap opera? But let’s not forget the whole “AAA” label they’ve slapped on this gem. AAA! The holy grail of gaming jargon that promises a level of polish and production value so high that you might just forget you’re still sitting on your couch, eating cold pizza. Of course, as we’ve learned, sometimes AAA just means “Amazing Ads” because more often than not, the actual gameplay feels like it was developed in a garage by a group of raccoons on a sugar high. Now, let’s not kid ourselves. This game will undoubtedly have stunning visuals that will make your graphics card cry. But will it have depth? Or will we merely be left with yet another iteration of “run, jump, and stab”? I guess we’ll find out when it releases on PC and consoles. Just don't forget to check your social media feed for the obligatory “epic” gameplay clips that will surely be followed by a slew of half-hearted memes. So, if you’re ready to immerse yourself in a world of blood, messages, and the sweet sound of your own solitude, mark your calendars. "Blood Message" is coming to a console near you! Can't wait to see how this "impressive" title manages to impress... or underwhelm. Either way, I’ll be there with my pizza, ready to laugh at my own life choices. #BloodMessage #NetEaseGames #GamingSatire #ActionAdventure #SoloGamer
