Times are shifting in the games industry and the signs are there. I had a conversation last night with one of my cofounders about the shift in the games industry and the role AI is playing. The barrier to entry is the lowest it has ever been and the cost of development has been heavily subsidized by new AI workflows. The one thing that stays up there is creativity. As game developers, the biggest value you bring to the table is your creativity. An idea so good and so well executed that replicating it becomes incredibly difficult. It’s why at @Dimension11S we pride ourselves on the creativity that thrives within our team. The willingness to solve real problems, raise the standards and build experiences beyond our imagination.

I saw someone who looked like someone who has refused to pay me the money he owes me today at the airport, and I almost “rushed” at him. There are some people you should never pray to look like; you might be blocking your next breakthrough.

Seeing Elvis Obi on my TL again just made me remember. My guys who worked at Mazerance has still not heard anything from them. One would think communication would be swift but no.

What’s the point of being my friend if you can’t benefit from a little nepotism? If I’m not using my connections for my friends, then honestly, what kind of friend am I?

Still have cameras, gimbals and tripods to give out to creators who need it. We will figure out how tomorrow.

For those wondering why I'm speaking out on this. I know the people involved in this and they are some of the meekest people I know who would avoid conflict/drama if possible. For them to go public like this, then it was baaad and hearing their 1st hand accounts, its even worse.
Before celebrating leadership transitions, perhaps we should also talk about unfinished business. What happens to the people who worked for @Mazerance , fulfilled their responsibilities, and were subsequently left waiting for compensation and salaries they were promised? Interesting to read about the people who “made it possible” while some of those very people are still waiting to be paid salaries owed for over 4 months. What happens when the promised deadline passes without payment, without meaningful communication, and the people affected are eventually told that the matter is no longer in your hands? There are people who gave their time, skills and commitment to building this company who are still waiting for what they are owed. So when I read public statements celebrating the people who “made it possible,” I can’t help but question how truthful that picture really is. Some stories sound very different from the inside. Elvis, This is not how to go about things.

My loyalty will always lie with the people who are being owed. Please pay people their money and do it on time. Thank you.

Right That is why i dont buy the fund finish logic You can say you want the elite in your team and then dont pay for 4 months . They are too calm sha If nah me Nah month 1 i go don come out
That particular comment is funny considering some of the guys involved already earned in dollars and worked with international studios who paid at US market rates. Some are even founders in their own right so it doesn't compute. You pay a premium if you want world class talent

I am not even directly affected and I was mentally drainedyesterday up until this afternoon -- feeling much better. This is to just let you know that nobody want things to go this way. Why should I engage an organisation privately and be publicly asking for what belongs to me

Sometimes all you need to do as a leader is to show empathy, communicate and show understanding. Everything is not about money. People value relationships too.

Dem been want use Marketing wound us for X. My candid advice to founders, don't burn your money on unnecessary marketing, especially when you have no product to show, not even an MVP, or in some cases a manual way of giving value to users.
Okay, so this is all sweet and all Elvis but about our unpaid salaries? You talked about the people who worked with you on the project but you blatantly left out the fact where you and @Mazerance have been owing us unpaid salaries for the past 7 months.
