The Axis Unseen free demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1807810/The_Axis_Unseen/
It took about 3.5 years, but now it’s actually coming out in less than two weeks. I’m really excited to see what people think of it and it has been cool watching streamers react to the demo. Somehow my two story tall tree guy is really good at sneaking up on people. :D

Take the focus off this exact scenario and Bethesda Dev. Throughout the thread, there has been several other scenarios presented but none have hit home with you. What I’m asking is, what previous qualifications for a new role in an exact industry would be something you’d accept as proof of validity?
This isn’t meant to be confrontational, I’m legitimately curious. I see these sentiments a lot on the Internet and it leads to a flurry of downvotes without anyone asking the person receiving them what would be their desired outcome / goal.
So to frame it in that regards, would someone being a lead engine developer give more credence to a solo project? Being a project manager? Having a varied CV that showed growth across a company providing a base understanding of several different disciplines without a targeted focus on one? Or something as simple as “they worked on the questlines that I personally liked”?
Genuinely interested in what would make YOU happy or impressed by an announcement like this.
Again, specifically saying what he worked on was actually connected with the game he was making now.
Did he work on game balance and feel? did he work on environment? Did he work on enemy AI?
It’d show me what to expect in the new game.
Would be like saying chef worked at restaurant for 15 years. Do you want to eat his food?
Well, you can probably expect decent food but… I’m not a big seafood fan so if you brought perfectly seared scallops and a seafood risotto I probably wouldn’t like the result.
If he cooked at a dive bar for 15 years and made hand ground meatballs with homemade pasta sauce and started his own wing place I’d question it.
So headline being -
“Skyrim lead developer - making solo game”
And the ambiguous title makes me think “Starfield questline and custom spaceship developer makes solo game”
