Aww man, I'm sorry about that, Raven.  I everything works out in the end.  Best of luck, we are all rooting for you to have a speedy recovery.

My surgery on Saturday or Monday. I'll be here for a week. Itll take my2-3 months no walking to heal and you to a year of rehab.

God fucking damn. Stay strong man.

How old do you have to be to drive in the U.S?

TumbleSeed sales did not reach expectations   on any platform - dev postmortem here

Insightfull and honest read.  Even if it veers a bit too much in bemoaning their own poor fate.  Basically they acknowledge the learning curve was too steep and that they were too busy finishing the game to see it then, despite people that had played it telling it to their face.

Personally I also think it was a bit too highly priced.  As a €9.99 game I would have seriously considerd this.  At €13.99 or something I did not.  What kind of price is €13.99 anyway?

Learners Permit you get it at 15 in most States but you need to have a licensed adult with you at all times.


Restricted License the average age is 16 years old.


Full license it depends on the State. In my State you can get your full license at 18. 17 if you take classes.

This website has a break down of the different driving ages by state.

Here you can learn when you are 17, but if you are on a disability allowance you can learn at 16. I personally think dual control cars are a must, but they aren't legally required which is weird.

Well, it IS a very early demo.  It's to be expected that all they have in place now is stuff like physics simulation and a token environment.  I find it interesting to know that the simulation tracks the atmosphere of each planet, meaning your ship could burn up if you're going too fast within the atmosphere.  But lets see them turn those systems into gameplay mechanics like what Nintendo did in BotW.

I think stuff like this is the future of videogames.  In x years time there will be detailed simulations available in libraries and middleware engines, allowing everyone to leverage realistic cause and consequence for emergent gameplay in their games.  And once those have been perfected and are commonplace, the next stop is the Matrix.

I felt a bit let down.

You play as an ape or create a character so not as Jade. And it's a prequel, when the first game kinda ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. It doesn't look or feel like a BGE game to me. It's more like The Fifth Element game with monkeys.

Exploration was always one of the most important parts of the Xenoblade series, especially in XCX. Can we expect an even larger world on Switch ?


Exploration will be even more important in Xenoblade 2. About the amount of places you will be able to discover and explore, I think we will go far beyond what Xenoblade X proposed. As you have been able to see in the trailer, you can expect to traverse a lot of varied environnements, some natural, some artificial, created by humans.

Does that mean the game will allow us to go wherever we want, or will the exploration be more guided, like in the first game ?


In the trailer, you've been able to see gigantic entities : the Titans. The player will traverse entire regions, towns and dungeons on the back of those gigantic monsters. The exploration on those creatures will be seamless. We could have made it so that going from one titan to another was seamless too, but going through the sea of clouds probably wouldn't have been fun, so we chose to make cuts for those transitions. In the game, as you've been able to see in the Treehouse Live, it's also possible to associate with Blades, beings that also are living weapons, and traverse those vast lands on their backs, even if they're not mounts in the traditionnal sense.
