Levelhead

the, so like in the past we didn't do that kind of thing.

Instead, like for example for Levelhead, every time Sam made a piece of art-

Yeah

... then it would just go into a pile with a bunch of instructions for like for me to then go do a bunch of work to implement it.

One of the core premises of DevOps is make the work visible.

Um, yeah, and that comes down to various types of analytics.

So like in the case of Sam with, with, um, his, his art error rate back in the Levelhead days, um, that was literally just a matter of just keeping a record.

Yeah.

bit there, too, is that we're doing all this comparative math.

252,000 units in a month is 35 times what Levelhead managed to sell in more than its first year of being out.

That's

early access and the launch, and then a few months

it might be a good game.

Just nobody wants it, which is a different thing.

You can be proud of the thing you made and it could be like Levelhead is one of the coolest.

It

It's hard to believe.

Uh, I mean, 'cause we went through this with, with Levelhead.

Yeah.

Where it was just...

Yeah, you gotta massage it a little bit and it'll literally just stick with us

... we have, we had...

What do we have? Like three or four different trailers for Levelhead.

'Cause we kept trying different styles of trailer-

Right? And, and so this, and this is distinct from the game, like the game was well-received.

So I think Levelhead's our kind of example here, right? Yes.

As in like the game itself like didn't need to be addressed, right? Correct.

The game is, it works.

Mm-hmm.

Um, and it really wasn't until we did localization at the end when we had to slow that pace down because then you have this localization pipeline.

Uh, but what we, what we found with Levelhead, at least for that game, and this is probably true of most games in a similar situation.

Which is if you, if you launch a game and it doesn't really find a sizable audience- Mm-hmm ... then it's i- incredibly unlikely that you'll be able to- Update your way into that audience ... update your way into- Yes ... having an audience.
