Comment on Let's discuss: Like a Dragon / Yakuza
st3ph3n@midwest.social 1 week agoThey get to reuse so many of their existing assets for each release, I think that really helps them streamline their development cycle. Like, they’re gonna be reusing the Hawaii setting from Infinite Wealth for Pirate Yakuza, which will be out in a few weeks, pretty much exactly one year after Infinite Wealth.
I’m OK with this approach. Not every game needs to take 8 years and 100 million dollars to make.

Yea totally! I actually really like when developers can do that. I think when artificial (or genuine) limitations are placed on art, projects or whatever, it can make them turn out to be better than if you had full freedom.
There’s a fine line between creativity and laziness that shouldn’t be crossed. But when it’s done really well I think it’s super cool
