They really should construct additional pylons.That was good.
Pylon carried the team.
Also, that probe should have been spawning in plasma cannons.

That's really fucked. From what I've seen the engine is pretty good.Apparently the lead programmer behind the Fox Engine at Konami has quit after being told they have no plans for the engine now or in the future.
Jesus Fucking Christ what a pisshole of a company.
This is a continuing problem with Japanese game development: they don't like licensing out engines for their games, so it takes them 1-1/12 years just to get an ENGINE for their game going and THEN they can start actually building the game. Worse, they often don't reuse engines unless it's a quick, sequential release. This means they spend an enormous amount of money that is quickly pissed away. I can only think of a handful of times that Japanese developers have done it...Apparently the lead programmer behind the Fox Engine at Konami has quit after being told they have no plans for the engine now or in the future.

And it will never change unless the owner sells it. The owner is the CEO and his kids and friends are the board. If he wants to run his company into the ground, he's perfectly free to do whatever the fuck he wants. I don't imagine there will be a shortage of investors looking to buy their properties when the only thing making them money are the pachinko machines.How the fuck does Konami allow that to happen? That's just dumbfuckery of the highest order.
I will restate, what a pisshole of a company.
The code got them 30 lives, but they've used them all up.And it's official: Konami ceases all Triple-A game production except Pro Evolution Soccer.
And it doesn't matter how much money they make on the casino side: they are heavily in with the Yakuza and a lot of that money goes to them. The video game stuff was sort of what kept them growing as a company. They might not go under any time soon, but they have lost pretty much all relevancy.

Their soccer game outsold Metal Gear by better than 3:1 in 2014. They might be less relevant to you, but they'll still probably be okay. Not to defend Konami or their business practices, I just don't know that they're going to crash and burn as a whole.And it's official: Konami ceases all Triple-A game production except Pro Evolution Soccer.

It's ultimately going to come down to how well their mobile releases go... and really, that's sort of the entire issue here. Cost-benefits analysis will always put mobile titles over Triple A titles because a dozen failed mobile games is fine when they cost nothing but a Triple A title needs to make massive sales just to break even. However, this fails to account for the fact that mobile titles rarely have successful sequels: you can't really build a brand around a 5-minute time waster. KING is circling the drain after failing to turn their Saga games into major brand... Zinga is basically gone or at least nowhere near as relevant as it was even 2-3 years ago. Angry Birds is still around but it's not the powerhouse everyone thought it would be. Compare that to Minecraft, which has been around longer but is not only getting stronger as time goes by. It's getting spin-off games and LEGO sets.Their soccer game outsold Metal Gear by better than 3:1 in 2014. They might be less relevant to you, but they'll still probably be okay.

Oh man, bring on the pachinko machines!And it's official: Konami ceases all Triple-A game production except Pro Evolution Soccer.

It sounds like you are arguing for the short of thinking that encourages endless sequels.You gotta build the brand.
That's a bit unfair. Any successful franchise will have major content coming out at least every 2-3 years in order to revitalize the brand, which brings in money to launch riskier titles. Major franchises ALWAYS finance the rest of the content and that's not true of just video games.It sounds like you are arguing for the short of thinking that encourages endless sequels.
Should name it Koka Kola so it doesn't clash.... how do you not at least Google the new company name you want to use?
Unless this was completely deliberate. It's like someone decided to start up a drinks company and call it Coca Cola.
Don't worry, in 7 years when you can, and the game is 5 bucks on steam, I'll start shooting "halforums edition" videos of it in which you can co-starLooks interesting, then I remember it won't run on my computer so I shouldn't get invested in it.
I'm gonna need a WTL;DR for this, because wow it's long.
