  • I don’t know a single investor that would not like a game studio that said “we have a massive back catalog of IP that is raking in cash with nearly no additional development or maintenance cost. We’ll try to keep making new games to keep the IP fresh and see if we hit it big again, but in the meantime, enjoy the money printing machine back catalog”.

    It’s basically what Disney does at this point.

    And, for that matter, record/music labels. Most records labels lose money on the majority of new artists they sign. It’s the 1-in-10 that break even and 1-1000 that go big and the 1-in-10,000 that fill out huge back catalog they just keep milking.










  • Interesting.

    Hit 2 stronghold libraries: more books than you’ll use in a game.

    I guess I also take for granted that I build a zero tick kelp-to-bonemeal-to-cane-to-paper machine that fills a double chest with paper in about 1-2 hours tops, and it’s not running at max efficiency.

    Golden carrots are easier to get with a fortune pick on a few rows of carrots and that gives you something to do with all the gold that otherwise has very little use in the game
