For promotional videos like the 10-minute gameplay video of Tears of the Kingdom, how much of that is always constant in that specific build of the game? The video is prerecorded, but I still feel like there would be a lot of staged things to show off what they want to, while reducing the risk of any pitfalls.

Ask a Game Dev

We stage things like this all the time, both for public-facing gameplay videos and for internal demo videos. This is because the purpose is to showcase the gameplay systems in a timely fashion. We usually don’t have a lot of time with our audiences. No one wants to sit and wait for minutes while the next demo is carefully set up. It’s even worse if it’s a live demo and the setup breaks or something unforeseen happens and you have to reset everything to load up the demo scenario again.

The vibes are bad | This Week in Business

GamesIndustry.biz

Existing as they do at the intersection of "brevity is the soul of wit" and "a picture is worth a thousand words," social media posts and memes can be great for drawing easily graspable parallels between complex subjects and situations, with the capability to get across insightful comparisons in humorous shorthand. And as evidenced by that lead, editorials like this are perfect for spelling out jokes at cumbersome length, articulating those complex parallels and draining them of all humor.
