During a game’s development, narrative consultants will be hired by studios to help with fleshing out or tweaking narrative elements, Kenney said. “Narrative consultants do not get final say,” Kenney reiterated. "It doesn’t get into the game if we [as the developer] don’t approve it.
“They consult. They do research, pitch ideas, give feedback, and maybe even write scripts. But none of that gets into the game unless the core dev team agrees with it. I’m going to keep saying that, because it’s key. Sweet Baby is not, nor is any consulting group, coming in to wreck games. They’re helping smooth out plots and deepen characters. They ease the burden on the core narrative team. They’re additive in every way.”
I don’t get hate towards Sweet Baby Inc. Sure they consulted on some bad games but that is on the developers, not on them. They also consulted on Miles Morales and I loved the story in that game, even more than the story of 2018 game. Sweet Baby don’t deserve the hate.
You don’t get it, they’re responsible for anything woke in all of these games, and clearly are responsible for the failure of Suicide Squad, due to all the wokeness that they orchestrated into every game they work on, because obviously they are a tool of the VCs that fund these games and therefore despite being a company with only double digits employees they control the entire games industry!
I wish I was being sarcastic, this is literally the conspiracy theory that has all this hate swirling around this absolutely tiny dev company that specialises in subcontract writing tasks, dictated by the main dev…
I’ll edit this comment when I find the article that goes over all the finer points.
Maybe you are correct. But, at the moment, I will stick the simplest explanation: it’s the producers of the concerned games that are incompetent, for now. Plus, I too hated how Batman was treated in Suicide Squad, but I would rather put the blame on Rocksteady for that instead of a tiny consultancy firm. Say even if they are responsible for this, the games
Yeah, sweet baby worked on like background speech of NPCs in Suicide Squad from what I understand.
The games what? I’m dying here!
Edit: I think you misunderstood what I was saying in my previous reply.
It’s just gamer gate 2, same bullshit, just more people pulled into the stupid side than previously.
Look at their ceo’s tweets. The project may be fine but the person that leads it and the way they deal with “anti-woke” crowds is essential. They could’ve easily ignored a few weirdos making a group but they decided to make a post promoting some report and continued it with racist and sexist comments. They 100% deserve the hate. The consultancy part isn’t the problem but the management is.
