From its Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms setting to the revolutionary Messiah Engine, Analytic Dreamz covers the soulslike combat with 12+ weapon types, 40+ Martial Mystic Arts, Qinggong movement, and non-combat lifestyles (Doctor, Merchant, Assassin, Architect). Dive into the seamless 4-player co-op, massive MMO endgame (30v30 PvP, raids, guilds), controversial AI NPC “Jianghu Friends” with LLM-driven dialogue, and the deepest character creator in 2025 F2P titles.Analytic Dreamz analyzes the historic launch stats: 2 million players in 24 hours, 193K Steam peak concurrent, 83% Very Positive reviews, topping PS5 charts in 7 regions, and China's earlier 15M+ player dominance. Get the truth on monetization (cosmetics + gacha, no P2W), Metacritic scores (72–75), major outlet takes from IGN and GamesRadar+, launch bugs, viral horse-stealing glitches, and Everstone Studio's post-launch roadmap including future Xbox support.Whether you're grinding sects, mastering Tai Chi, or debating the creepy-yet-genius AI companions, Analytic Dreamz breaks down why Where Winds Meet is the most ambitious Wuxia action-adventure of the year. Notorious Mass Effect – real talk, zero hype, all facts. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Ghostcrawler led MMO has a setback. We have some more union labor strife. Playstation ups their game streaming offering. When is a patent not a patent and we have some nomination for video game of the year. http://www.joystickandmouse.com http://shop.joystickandmouse.com Show Notes The MMO being led by former WoW and League of Legends designer Greg Street looks to be dead as his studio officially closes after NetEase ends funding https://www.pcgamer.com/games/mmo/the-mmo-being-led-by-former-wow-designer-greg-street-looks-to-be-dead-as-his-studio-officially-closes-after-netease-ends-funding-while-wed-love-to-make-our-game-our-first-priority-is-to-help-our-developers-find-employment/ Rockstar, the developer of Grand Theft Auto VI, reportedly fired between 30 and 40 employees in a move that the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) is claiming was "blatant" and "ruthless" union busting. https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-6-dev-rockstar-accused-of-union-busting-in-sudden-firing-of-dozens-of-staff https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-gta-6-developers-speak-from-the-picket-line-about-rockstar-north-union-busting PlayStation is rolling out cloud streaming as a full feature for the Portal. Starting today, PlayStation Plus Premium members can stream thousands of games via the cloud on a Portal connected to WiFi. https://gameinformer.com/2025/11/05/cloud-streaming-available-on-playstation-portal-starting-today Remember our story about Nintendos patent on summoning NPE's to battle,  In a stunning development attributable to the public outrage and reflecting concern over implications for the reputation of the U.S. patent system as a whole, USPTO Director John A. Squires has personally ordered, at his own initiative, his organization to take another look at Nintendo's patent. https://gamesfray.com/huge-blow-for-nintendo-head-of-u-s-patent-office-takes-rare-step-to-order-reexamination-of-summon-subcharacter-and-let-it-fight-in-1-of-2-modes-patent/ The Video Game awards happen next month but last week there was another announcement of nominations of game of the year from the Golden Joystick awards and well, anything about video games with joystick in the name must be good. https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1onju3g/golden_joystick_awards_2025_vote_for_your/

This week our hosts Liz and Joe were joined by Cory as the Midnight beta officially launched, with access for people who have preordered the Midnight epic edition. It was a little bumpy, per usual, but we made it. We would be testing, but transmog is unavailable until next week, so it's literally unplayable. BlizzCon was announced and early bird tickets were already sold out, but you can buy full price tickets next week. (They did not actually talk about Battlestar Galactica. I was memeing).We have a round of bad news from the other games, because NetEase pulled funding from a lot of indie studios. But it's not all bad, because Steam has an event highlighting games that feature animals, so our unplayed list just keeps getting longer.Plus, Hearthsteel. We're trying to speak positively about this new paid currently specifically earmarked for decor, which you apparently have to buy multiples of like every other decor. So. yep. Positive.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

This week we talk about Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy S1 which was Jeb's pick. We talk about how Makoto gets pulled to another world, but then instantly gets rejected by a vain goddess for being “ugly”. From there he builds his own life and founds the Kuzunoha company coupled with a hidden demi-plane for demihumans, and contracts with Tomoe and Mio while butting heads with human society mostly on ideology. Jack contrasts manga vs. anime (the “ugly” bit hits both worlds) and floats a theory that Makoto's magic pressure warps how humans see him; and the two other “pretty” heroes exist mostly as goddess eye-candy. We also touch on several other aspects like archery, his element quirks and the Level-1-forever gag vs. why he won't fake it.About the anime:Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy follows Makoto Misumi,a highschool student that gets sent to a fantasy world by the moon god Tsukuyomi due to a contract his parents had, only to be rejected by the resident Goddess of the world he was going to for being “ugly.” As a result he is stripped of the “Hero” title before his adventure even begins. Makoto is forced to carve out his own path, quickly amassing power and allies: the dragon Tomoe and the calamity-spider Mio. He also makes the Kuzunoha Company, builds a hidden demiplane where demi-humans can thrive, and clashes with huyman society and the goddess.Next Week's Pick: "Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 2"Have you had the chance to watch Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 1 or any of our previous selections?

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Destiny: Rising is like a phenomenal cover band of Destiny 2, a spirited revival playing all the hits and reminding you of better times. And with Destiny 2 currently in such a dreadful state, it is genuinely remarkable how well NetEase has curated this game as a greatest hits of everything Bungie has ever done well. Does this spinoff mobile game somehow manage to surpass its namesake? LINKS: Patreon, YouTube, Spotify, Instagram Feedback & Theories: secondbreakfastpod@gmail.com

From Roblox's RDC bombshells to Destiny Rising's flop, this week's DoF crew breaks down the biggest shifts in gaming. We get into NetEase's bets, China's growing power, and why analytics from Newzoo's 2025 report matter more than ever.

Oh, and yes, Jen's got a big personal update too.

Top 3 Gaming News From Last Week:NetEase Shuts Down Another Western Studio (Game Developer): NetEase has closed T-Minus Zero Entertainment. This marks the third Western studio closure as part of a broader reassessment of business priorities and has raised concerns about the stability of Western studios under NetEase's ownership.IGN Publisher John Davison Exits Following Major Layoffs (Kotaku): John Davison, IGN's publisher since 2019, announced his departure at the end of August 2025 following significant layoffs affecting 12% of the editorial union. The exit represents broader instability in gaming media as the largest gaming outlet globally faces consolidation pressures.Ubisoft and King Showcase AI Production Acceleration (Business Insider): Major studios revealed how AI tools are transforming game development, with Ubisoft's FaceShifter reducing 3D head creation time from a week to half a day, while King uses AI as a "co-pilot" for playtesting at scale and level tuning across thousands of Candy Crush Saga levels.Top 2 Game Dev Issues I Thought About From Last Week:1. People vs. ProductMost companies overindex on product analysis while treating people issues as taboo - You can ruthlessly critique and analyze the product all day, but giving critical feedback to individuals often gets labeled as "toxic" or grounds for termination. This creates a toxic positivity culture that stunts growth.People are the engine that builds the product - Without improving your team's capabilities through honest feedback (both positive and constructive), you're fundamentally limiting your organization's potential. The product can only be as good as the people making it.Recognize and leverage both skillsets - Some folks excel at people management (mentoring, developing talent, giving balanced feedback), others at product work (analysis, problem-solving, execution). The rare ones who master both are gold. The challenge is that people-focused contributions are harder to measure than code commits, leading to these employees being undervalued.2. Why Our Game Design Process Sucks"Ooh, that's cool!" is not a design philosophy - Too many designers are really just players in disguise, borrowing features from other games without connecting them to clear design objectives. Real design starts with objectives, not with "wouldn't it be cool if..."Lack of rigor kills games - Your team's design specs are missing crucial elements: user flows, edge cases, knock-on effects to other systems. Without tools like logic trees to map out the full implications of a feature (seeing the whole elephant, not just the parts), you're essentially doing "RNG design" - throwing random features at the wall and hoping they stick.This is a massive competitive advantage waiting to be claimed - Getting design process right is a huge source of "alpha" because frankly, most companies - even successful ones - are terrible at it. The fact that games with fundamental design flaws still succeed proves that nobody really has this figured out.2 Game Dev Lessons: #1. People vs. Products#2. Why Our Design Process Sucks -> Don't RNG Design

Marvel Rivals developers say they have the green light from Marvel for NetEase to create original characters, and they told players to stay tuned. We break down why this feels risky to longtime fans who love the game's connection to Marvel canon, and we compare that approach with how deep cut heroes like Luna Snow and Jeff the Land Shark have pushed players to explore the comics. We look at what this could mean for player trust, brand identity, and long term support, then invite your takes for the next Headlines discussion.00:00 Introduction and what changed for Marvel Rivals00:20 Why original characters raise concerns for fans00:40 Deep cut Marvel picks that already work: Luna Snow, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak and Dagger01:10 Brand identity versus live service experimentation01:30 Community reactions and what we will cover nextThe studio can add original characters, but that move may clash with what makes the game feel Marvel at its core.Deep cuts create discovery. Players are seeking comics and trades after meeting lesser known characters in game.Original IP opens design freedom but risks comparisons to other hero shooters and could weaken the game's distinct identity.A smart path is to spotlight more obscure Marvel heroes to keep gameplay fresh while preserving the Marvel feel.Community feedback will shape where this goes next, so weigh in for our follow up on Headlines.“Marvel just announced that NetEase can make original characters for Marvel Rivals. The developers told players to stay tuned.”“This game's charm comes from its Marvel roots. Instead of making original characters, pull from deep cut characters.”“Luna Snow. Jeff the shark. I just bought a Cloak and Dagger trade.”If you enjoyed this Geek Freaks Headlines episode, please subscribe, rate, and leave a quick review.

Deze talkshow wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door MSI. Alle meningen in deze video zijn onze eigen. MSI heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site.Het weekend staat voor de deur. En het belooft lekker weer te gaan worden. Misschien zelfs iets te warm in sommige regio's. Hoe fijn is het dan om iets op je oren te hebben als je straks op het strand of bij de plassen ligt. Vanuit een erg warme studio presenteren wij een nieuwe editie van Einde van de Week Live. Drie hosts, te weten Huey, Koos en Shelly gaan de discussie aan over een groot aantal onderwerpen. Bijvoorbeeld de Donkey Kong Bananza Direct van afgelopen woensdag. Wat vonden ze daarvan? Wat vinden ze van de enthousiaste previews van Borderlands 4? Dit alles en meer komt voorbij in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 20 juni 2025.Wat vonden we van de Donkey Kong Bananza Direct?Er gebeurde deze week veel. Activision wist bijvoorbeeld niet hoe snel ze moesten melden dat Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 geen wall running en jetpacks zou hebben. Waarom was dat zo'n issue? Kojima meldde dat de eerste playtest zo positief uitpakte voor het verhaal, dat hij de boel meteen herschreef. Waarom? En die nieuwe God of War Metroidvania game wordt uitgesteld. Is dit een game die we in de gaten gaan houden of zitten we niet te wachten op Kratos in een Metroidvania? En zit Kratos er wel in?Profiteer van fijne kortingen op bijvoorbeeld de Vector 16 HX en maak kans op 250 cadeaukaart bij de ‘Upgrade Jouw Zomer' actieDe ‘E3'-periode is een speciale tijd. Een waar zomers spektakel voor gamers. En dus dachten MSI en Bol, hoe kunnen we deze mensen extra blij maken? De uitkomst is de ‘Upgrade Jouw Zomer actie'. Wat houdt de actie in? Heel simpel. Bij de aankoop van een MSI laptop met een RTX 4070 videokaart of hoger aan boord (en ja, de 50-serie hoort daar ook bij), pak jij fijne kortingen EN je maakt kans op een zomerse Bol.com cadeaukaart ter waarde van 250 euro. Kun je mooi een nieuwe zwembroek, een koelbox of parasol kopen. De actie is hier te vinden. Have fun.Krijg 120 euro exclusieve korting op de 27 inch UHD 4K monitor van LG UltraGearLG UltraGear heeft een toffe actie exclusief voor de Gamekings community opgezet. De 27-inch UHD 4K (3840x2160) Nano IPS Black display is namelijk met een korting van 120 euro verkrijgbaar voor onze community. Dit model is de eerste 27-inch gamingmonitor ter wereld met 4K-resolutie en 240Hz refreshrate en biedt daarmee in onze ogen een erg wrede en soepele spelervaring voor gamers, vooral voor liefhebbers van FPS-titels. Interesse, vul hier bij aankoop de code ‘gamekings' in het vakje bij vouchers.Timestamps:00:00:00 Einde van de Week Live van 20 juni00:00:23 Huishoudelijke mededeling: MSI00:04:27 Shelly heeft een Switch 2 gekocht.

We start where we ended last week: the $50M Royal Match campaign and the issue of overspending. Then it's all about Discord's new CEO and how that signals a potential pivot toward enterprise, ending the platform's gaming-first DNA.Then, the crew covers NetEase's sudden executive shakeup and the surprising Delta Force vs. Call of Duty Mobile battle before unpacking Blizzard's Nexon partnership in Korea. We cap it off with an explanation on why VCs are suddenly frothing over AI in gaming. 02:39 MAU Event and Fireside Chat04:15 Royal Match Campaign Follow-up19:53 Discord's New CEO and Future29:26 NetEase Executive Departures33:19 AI in Gaming Venture Capital37:12 Delta Force vs. Call of Duty Mobile41:08 Blizzard's Publishing Strategy: Nexon Partnership46:34 The Impact of Distribution Duopoly on Gaming53:35 The Future of Game Distribution and Innovation01:02:55 Web Shops and the Changing Revenue Landscape

In this episode, host Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, sits down with Derek Qiu, Head of Overseas Operations at NetEase, to explore the cross-border distribution journey of Once Human, a supernatural survival game from Starry Studio.They discuss the rapid evolution of China's gaming market, how Chinese developers like NetEase are increasing their presence in the West, and how Once Human represents a new wave of globally ambitious titles. Derek shares why the team prioritized a PC-first launch, how they maintained a cosmetic-only monetization strategy despite mobile market pressures, and how the game achieved a top spot in mobile downloads across 166 regions.The conversation also covers the key differences in publishing and LiveOps strategies between East and West, how self-publishing enabled NetEase to stay agile, and why strong internal infrastructure and cross-cultural research were critical to success. They close with insights on how China's strengths in rapid iteration and operational efficiency are reshaping global competition—and why future gaming growth will favor studios that focus on vertical audiences rather than mass-market appeal.For anyone curious about China's growing global influence in gaming, this is a must-listen.We'd also like to thank Neon – a merchant of record with customizable webshops optimized for conversion – for making this episode possible!

It has been a whirlwind of a week for the games industry. Massive studio closures continue at a rapid pace and now we have Fable delay for the cherry on top! Where to begin? Well, for the Xbox faithful, let's sink into Fable first. It was given a 2025 release window at Xbox's 2024 Summer Showcase, but Playground Games has pulled the plug early on that happening. Announced by new head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan, we also got a glimpse at some pre-alpha gameplay for Fable. The game looks great, at least visually, but has left many wondering what's taking so long? Rumors of this game started kicking around in 2018 only for the game to be fully announced in 2020. By summer 2026, we're looking at six full years of building this game up. So, what gives? Is it a PS5 port, the looming release of GTA VI, or something much deeper? The Dukes discuss in Cog's return! Naturally, we dive deep into the mismanagement of WB Games as we have for weeks. To put an exclamation point on things, they have shut down Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego. As their game's division continues its tailspin, the Dukes sift through the wreckage to see if there's any hope in saving what remains of WB Games. We also tackle the conversation around MUSE once more following new comments by Satya Nadella, how NetEase is hitting a speed bump despite the rocketing success of Marvel Rivals, and much more!

Games is making big cuts, closing three studios — Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB Games San Diego — and cancelling its long-in-development Wonder Woman game, the publisher told employees on Tuesday. All projects from those studios have been canceled. NetEase began its cuts late last year, with layoffs and studio closures at Mass Effect veteran Mac Walters' new studio Worlds Untold, Halo Infinite design boss Jerry Hook's team at Jar of Sparks, and more recently at Liquid Sword, the company founded by the creator of Just Cause. Quantic Dream, the NetEase-owned developer behind Heavy Rain, Detroit and the upcoming Star Wars Eclipse has broken its silence following the layoffs and shutdowns seen across numerous other NetEase-supported studios. In a statement posted on LinkedIn, Quantic Dream CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière said the studio's teams had not been impacted by NetEase's dramatic cuts, and were "continuing to develop our projects at full pace".
