Will we see more dev teams downsize after the success of COE33 or will they continue to bring in 100s of pajeets to slop down some shitty code and push the game out the door faster, yet unpolished and unoptimized

soon it will all be done by AI.

small team games are best, I can die peacefully without ever touching a single AAA slop release ever again

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sold 500,000 units within its first 24 hours from release and sold 1 million units within 3 days.[64] The game sold 2 million units within 12 days of its release.[65] As of 27 May 2025, the game had sold 3.3 million units[66] On achieving these sales metrics, President of France Emmanuel Macron celebrated the game's achievement, stating it was "a shining example of French audacity and creativity."[67] The mayor of Montpellier, Michaël Delafosse, also congratulated the team on their successful launch in May, stating it will be "a reference in the international history of video games".[68]

Again with this dangerous discourse.

>>712931338

>>712930768
>>sells 3.3 million units 33 days after release

Kojima just kicked AAA in the nutsack.

>>712931338
What the hell does this even mean

Teams are getting smaller and smaller precisely because outsourcing is so much cheaper. So everything that doesn't have to do with the creative part will be done by Indians or Brazilians because AI will take over everything that has nothing to do with game design itself.

It's a chink astroturf
>33 frenchfags
>1000s of chink artslaves in SEA

>>712931338
Devs always outsource but there has ALWAYS been a distinction between MAIN devs and OUTSIDE support. But nowadays big companies outsource core parts of development to outside support and the trend is heading back to how it used to be

How many times does have to be said to you schizofaggots that Kepler doesn't own sandfall. You always seem to ignore this "little" fact.

>>712932679
>Kepler doesn't own sandfall.
No one said they did. They are the publisher and invested in the game with their dirty chink money

Where?

>>712932916
Unpublished. Just like they don't report their steambots. They're literal slave labor.

>>712931338
The only people that were outsourced that could be considered apart of the dev team are 8 koreans which brings the total to 41 which isn’t a big difference at all

>>712932978
retard

>>712933134
not an argument chang. stay mad.

>>712932978
>they totally used thousands of outsourced labor to make a short 30 hour game with a very restrained scope
>can we see them?
>no

>>712932916
So basically your only source is "trust me bro"

>>712933215

they must be mad about their sales, since the 33 devs and 3.3million sales in 33 days thing is 99% likely to also be a ccp astroturf

It was at two Xbox shows Xbox probably paid for them since it’s on Gamepass. It was then in two small showcases in March and April which mainly feature indie games. They couldn’t even afford to be at the game awards. It’s funny to see the seething still lasting over 50 days later

if he thinks being small and indie is the ideal why is he spending his twilight years making huge fucking movie games with only the most expensive actors he can get his hands on
