Well, I still think my pessimism was warranted given the epistemic state I had when I made the comment. I still don’t have a clue what the game is about though, and I think that’s a legitimate question… or did I miss an explanation of that on the website too? :/
I think it’s generally right to have a prior of pessimism about projects in this reference class, although I think you went overboard in assuming your initial read was right. (Critch also has a several successful non-game projects under his belt which I think is relevant)
I don’t think I remember seeing any of this information on the front page of the website. If it’s not there, it maybe ought to be?
It’s in the “team” section (you have to click on Brandon to get the info, but it does say Game Developer by default before doing any clicks)
Weird! How did I not notice that?
