Game Industry Q&A

Sounds like a cool idea for those who are into this type of information! I've sent an email. I won't be able to talk about current game(s) I'm working on, obviously, but I will do my best to answer general questions and such.
This is actually a good idea, in honesty I've probably been gaming longer than many of the members here have been alive and to be honest I've little knowledge on what goes on behind the scenes. Would be interesting to learn more about what actually goes into making games from people actually in the industry.
Because some people in the industry think it could be insightful, interesting and perhaps even fun?
I’ve learned a lot over the years from the posters in NPD threads. The questions they ask challenge my thinking and viewpoint and make me better.
Plenty of upsides to dev voices being heard. There's always a lot of conjecture and misinformation being spread in the community and it's good to clear things up.
I'm a game developer (pro for 15 years) and while I can't currently be involved in this project, I think it's an great idea.
How it's handled by the community will define whether games industry folk can reasonably convince employers to let them talk about their current project. If you're willing to talk to people about older games you'll probably get juicier info.

This is a great idea; something that would not have been possible on the former forum, and a feature that could really foster the sense of community that is budding here. Nice work. Looking forward to hearing more.

I think this is a wonderful initiative that seeks to actively generate the best moments on the old site that would only happen every so often and organically.
I hope a lot of developers jump at the chance. I have faith in this community to engage in a really positive way.
More great ideas from the round-table ResetEra staff!

Sounds like a really cool idea! I like it a lot!
Maybe someday I'll be able to be on the dev side of things...
Really hope Paul Reiche/Fred Ford from Toys for Bob get involved in this - I'd love to pick their brains about Ghosts of the Precursors.
Interested to hear how the mod team is going to make this idea palatable for individual devs when every other post in gaming side seems to be "fuck these greedy developers."
As a very very small developer myself, I'd be eager to join in the discussion and understand better the industry.
EDIT: Actually, I have a question about this:
At which point would I be considered a verifiable developer? I mean, I already work in the industry for 5 years but I don't really have anything concrete to show off specially because it's mostly third-party, copyrighted stuff. Do you guys expect only big names to be verified, or anyone with enough experience?
OMG, don't even get me started on this <3

This is a wonderful idea and another example of how this place is becoming amazing. Love the Verification idea and this is just a natural extension of that.
Well done on this one guys. Awesome idea and I look forward to future threads/potentially super interesting Q&As.
