Just listened to the Rocket podcast.
https://www.relay.fm/rocket/57
First topic they touch on is Amazon Lumberyard.
A engine that is apparently based on the CryEngine. Wu "obviously" experimentet with it. And by Wu I mean "her studio". Haha... ha... "Lumberyard" and "Brianna Wu" do not pop up once in context when you google it. Outside of the podcast site that is. Must've been some extensive experimenting that the Godzilla of Tech Feminists didn't metion once.
"This is my week to shine," saiys Wu, "This is my area!".
Wu's starts off by talking about a visit to France in early 2015 as a judge to look at Amazon Fire Tablet stuf. Ok, whatever.
Then Wu-sama calls the CryEngine the "poor cousin engine of game development"and toots her own horn saying that "You have the big dogs, Unreal Engine, which is what I use and specialize in." and Unity which used to be cheaper than Unreal. Comparing Unreal to CryEngine follows. I don't know anything about that stuff, so maybe someone else can listen to Bri waffle about technical stuff and tell if Unreal is really more "mature" than CryEngine. Also babble about Amazon's history making tech products of their own.
Bottom line coming out of that section is Wu being asked if there is a good reason to use Lumberyard compared to Unity or Unreal. Answer: "Honestly, no."
Also talk about how "freaking Twitch integration" is easier to get working in Unreal (because it is, basically, "more mature" - documentation, experts, whatever) than in already available Lumberyard which is apparently made to be for Twitch integration.
Wu also makes fun of the guys that
made CryEngine because they are almost bankrupt.
Funny,
Wu.
Again, I really don't know anything about that topic, just giving a summary I guess.
It's a lot of Wu laughing and making fun of Amazon and even Adobe. You know, Software Engineer Brianna Wu, that has never done anything worthwhile in or for the tech industriy making fun of other people and companies that actually try making stuff. Meanwhile Rev60 is still stuck in limbo.
After Lumberjack the three talk about Twitter, Twitter revenue/stock prices and user stagnation. It's boring and I turned the thing off because I don't give a flying fuck about Twitter.
The first half og the podcast is basically Wu talking about other peoples work, shitting on it in some form while praising Unreal and acting like everything that fell out of her mouth was correct.
