Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #nd33, aggregated by home.social.

  1. 🧵 So far, I've dug up the majority of source code on the right monitor that #ND34 trailer was hiding with those misplaced symbols and found some common traits. All is here: reddit.com/r/nancydrew/comment

    But there are still some things to be done. And if it's a message hidden by the developers that skipped #HerInteractive board, it might be truly interesting! At least, while we can't get more honest response than that. It needs to be decrypted! :blobcatdeficit:

    #NancyDrew #MysteryOfTheSevenKeys has received mixed reviews: positive ones claim a big improvement over #MidnightInSalem, negative ones do state how bad everything is going after changes following #ND32 #SeaOfDarkness. So, #outsourcing happens and I don't know what new team even is like anymore. Lack of public playtesting isn't particularly helpful in catering the game to more audiences and without embarassing bugs. :0100:

  6. Despite me being positive about #ND34, the newest entry for #NancyDrew videogame series, there is a merit in finding how we've got here in the first place and if #HerInteractive is a trustworthy studio.

    Right of the gate, we see the drastic difference in how previous, #ND33 game performed after successful 32 inclusions... It's darn #MID, if you ask me. :thisIsFine: So, it was being developed after the big #layoff in Her, where most positions got bestowed on a new crew. Only that it was going hand-in-hand with new CEO's delusion of a #passion mobile project. Add here a camp of the #fanbase which insists on a regular ND release schedule, #hustle culture, and you have a case of rushed development, #crunch and leaving everyone with a subpar ND game. If anything, I guess old crew was spared nerve cells in expense of new blood being under equally subpar direction - lucky to be fired, unlucky to be hired? Oof.
