    Nintendo has proven over the years that it’s not afraid to work with other developers/publishers on products, or bring them in to help make new entries in its lauded franchises. You might recall Capcom working on Legend of Zelda, SEGA doing F-Zero, and non-affiliated teams like Mercury Steam and Grezzo working on Metroid and Zelda, respectively. Yet, today, it was revealed by groups like VGC that Death Stranding 2 On The Beach was worked on by Nintendo. …wait, how does that work?

    There are times I wish I could go around the world on a whim, especially with this heat wave that’s going on. But one of the places I’d love to visit more than anything is Japan, especially Kyoto, where lots of awesome things are. One such “awesome thing” is the Nintendo Museum.

    They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Yet, in the video game space, we’re pretty sure that’s not so “clear cut.” Yes, there are “clones” and “ripoffs” aplenty, but those are basically vain attempts to try and “take a piece of the pie” that another hit title has created. The BETTER way to do it is to see what the competition does and then see how you can make it even better or, at least, make it unique. Look at Sonic the Hedgehog compared to Mario, and you’ll see what we mean.

    To do what Roblox does every single day takes a lot of work. That might sound obvious at first, but it really needs to be said. Think about it. By their own estimates, they have between 80-90 million people playing every single day from places all across the world. Plus, they have to ensure that their game universe works on consoles, PC, mobile phones, and things like tablets. That’s a lot of optimization to do.

    There are some things that people in the gaming space won’t fully understand until they actually “get into the weeds” and do it themselves. The game development process is very robust, and it takes a lot of work to get even the simplest things to happen properly. As such, the better the development tools, the better creators can adapt and make things happen quickly.
