Is Half Life 3 ACTUALLY Happening? - Kinda Funny Games Daily 11.19.25

33:59Blessing Adeoye Jr.:move of unity I think I'm lost on the end game as far as publishing games in fortnite I know that this is the thing that fortnite's been doing for a while right as far as different modes different games and all that are there games that have outside of like the epic made stuff whether it be lego or rocket racing or the rock band thing they got going on in there are there like are there ways to monetize within ways to monetize and then also like have there been breakout successes of games that have been released through fortnite that have really like taken over i guess almost the way that a roblox game would well i i would say that many years ago there were a lot of creators who saw this as like the the final frontier there were a lot of creators in the space a lot of streamers a lot of people who were streamed but also they streamed a lot of fortnite but also had higher ambitions of what if i what if i had a team to make a game within the fortnite ecosystem and i don't really think much came from that i know that a lot of experiences maybe got played for a couple of months here and there but i don't i don't really know what the monetization is within fortnite and i don't know whether that's a stable form of income whether or whether that's just a play place for developers or creators to kind of keep their name you know in the relevant circles so that they could maybe make something else in the future and say hey you love that game that we made on fortnite well now we made a new one it's on steam now and now we can make money like i don't really know if it's like a funnel to bigger things i guess that's my thing maybe maybe i just got to live in fortnite for a few weeks to really understand it and get it um but what is i guess if you're a developer making a an indie game right and you made it in unity and you're putting it out what are the benefits of putting it out within fortnite versus just putting it out on the epic game store on or on steam i think it's eyes it's it's it's when you're in the fortnite community similar to yeah uh samson l makes a great point they want the dress to impress and grow garden success from roblox yeah when you're it's the same thing you know whenever we see the reports of over this amount of time this many million of people of users were playing steam games add three to four million on top of that that's how many were playing roblox a lot of it is just it's a different marketplace there's more eyes on it but I don't really fully know how the monetization works.

36:30I'm assuming in ad revenue. I'm also thinking, what Andy is saying, but adding on top of that, the age demographic as well of how many kids are going on the Steam and checking out indie games or whatever, or booting up Fortnite and then they see a bunch of new little experiences that they can check out, which, depending on what kind of game you're making, might be more beneficial as well.

36:55Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I think I look at that and then what we're talking about with the monetization aspect of, all right, how are you making money off these games when they're releasing within Fortnite? And then also, I guess I always assume that games coming out in Fortnite were being made with Fortnite tools or epic tools that are catered towards Fortnite releases, which I imagine this partnership is going to try and help streamline what that process looks like for Unity integration within Fortnite. But it's hard for me to imagine, like, I'm trying to think of a game that's made in Unity.

37:24Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It's 12 minutes a Unity game. who cares there are there's i played one just recently i don't remember let me say the name of a unity game so i can use it as an example uh i'll tell you one ruby grim eclipse what the fuck is that game i worked on for rooster teeth the anime i was like what are you saying to me right now jesus somebody says silk song no way silk songs is hollow night really a unity game oh yeah i think it is yeah we'll use that as the example yeah yeah um what like can can i play a hollow knight and you like if you if you if you make hollow knight can you give it to epic be like all right i want to put this in fortnight and play hollow knight in fortnight like and if this sounds like an ignorant question is because i'm ignorant i don't i don't i'm trying to understand here i think i need to watch like a 40 minute video breakdown of exactly what the fortnight store and marketplace yeah and how it operates you know i just i don't have a lot of familiarity with it unfortunately supermarket simulator was made in in unity so was cuphead so was beat saber damn oh uh also there's that recent video game someone was saying neon white oh okay neon white there's that recent game made by the ori devs no rest for the wicked oh yeah game as well okay so yeah i guess my question is are those the type of games that you can put in fortnite for people to check out or are there are there are you building in like a Fortnite mode in Unity.

38:53Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Again, I'm not a developer, so. Yeah. I'm just curious on what that looks like. All fascinating questions. And if you have any, you know, tidbits for us chat, let us know in the super chats. And you're, you know, on the topic of monetization, bless. I love monetization. Yeah. I love it. Same.

This comes from Vicki Blake at gamesindustry.biz. Heinemann detailed the journey through her diagnosis and treatment via her GoFundMe page, writing candidly about her fight. social media has been has since been flooded with messages from fans co-workers and developers thanking her for her work it's time she wrote in her final message posted yesterday november 17th according to my doctors all further treatments are pointless so please donate so my kids can create a funeral funeral worthy of my keyboard pixel breaker so i can make a worthy entrance for reuniting with my once you love and late wife janelle jacquase my daughter cynthia elizabeth

45:45Blessing Adeoye Jr.:heineman will be making the arrangements very sad news um we should mention that yeah she passed away of cancer aged 62 um i learned a lot about her this last week as there have been so many posts tweets blue skies that's a bs tim about her work and her legacy um i want to read a portion from a wikipedia it's a longer portion but like it's very fascinating to hear um about what rebecca heineman like where she started and kind of where she went in her career because like this is somebody who made a big impact in the industry so starting off in the early life section right rebecca ann heineman was born uh william salvador heineman on october 30th 1963 and raised in whittier california when she was young she could not afford to purchase games for her atari 2600 so she taught herself how to how to copy cartridges and built herself a sizable pirated video game collection eventually she moved from copying games to reverse engineering consoles code to understand how the games were made.

46:43Blessing Adeoye Jr.:In 1980, Heinemann and a friend traveled to Los Angeles to compete in a regional qualifying round of a national Atari 2600 Space Invaders championship. Although she did not expect a place among the top 100 contestants, she won the competition. Later that year, she also won the championship in New York. Heinemann is hence the first champion of a national U.S. video game tournament. Holy shit. Right? Crazy. After she won the tournament, Heinemann was offered a writing job for monthly magazine Electronic Games. and a consultancy job for a book called How to Master Video Games. During this time, she mentioned to one magazine publisher that she had reverse-engineered Atari 2600 code, and the publisher arranged a meeting between Heinemann and the owners of a game publisher, Avalon Hill.

47:26Blessing Adeoye Jr.:As she met with them, she was hired as a programmer instantaneously. Heinemann, aged 16 at the time, moved across the U.S. for a new job, canceling her plans to acquire a high school diploma. At Avalon Hill, Heinemann created a manual for the company's programming team, the studio's game engine, and the base code for several software projects, including her own first game, London Blitz, before leaving the company. Heinemann returned to California to work for another developer, Boone Corporation. For Boone, she programmed the game Chuck Norris Superkicks and Robin Hood, acquiring knowledge of programming for Commodore 64, Apple II, VIC-20, and IBM PC, a video game's hardware, as well as video game design.

48:08Blessing Adeoye Jr.:boone ceased operations in 1983 so heineman joined brian fargo jay patel and troy worrell to establish interplay productions heineman acted as programmer for the company working on wasteland the bard's tale various ports of out of this world and the mac os 3do and apple uh 2gs ports of wolfenstein 3d heineman went on to design the bard's tale 3 uh thief of fate dragon wars task times in tone town borrow time mind shadow the tracer sanction and programmed various ports of battle chess among others for interplay as the company grew to more than 500 employees heineman wish wishing to return to her small team roots left the company in 1995 and co-founded logicware where she acted as chief technology officer and lead programmer aside from the original games such as defiance heineman oversaw the company's porting activities which included it out of this world killing time shattered steel jazz jack rabbit 2 which we remember from that episode game showdown and a canceled mac os port of half-life in 1999 heinemann co-founded or sorry heinemann founded contraband entertainment and served as a ceo the company developed several original games alongside ports to various platforms for other developers projects led by heinemann include activision anthology and mac os ports for aliens versus predators baldur's gate 2 and Heroes of Might and Magic 4.

49:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:During this time, she also provided consultancy work directly for other companies. She acted as Senior Engineer 3 for Electronic Arts, upgraded Engine Code for Barking Lizards Technologies, and Ubisoft Optimized Codes for Sensory Sweep Studios, acted as Senior Software Architect for Bloomberg LP and Amazon, provided training on Xbox 360 development for Microsoft's development studios, and worked on Kernel Code for PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 4 at Sony. um i'm gonna pause there as far as the credits because as you can tell it goes fucking deep as far as all story did yeah like a storied career uh i'd also want to shout out another segment where they talk about personal life and death here right in a segment uh in in the documentary series high score heineman said she was drawn to video games at a young age uh as quote allowed me to be myself and allowed me to play as female uh as early at the as early as early as at the founding of interplay heineman had had a concern with her birth name at the time interplay's founders were not taking a salary and to sustain herself she bought larger she bought a larger number of cheap hamburgers from a nearby hamburger stand and kept them in her desk which led to the nickname burger a name she preferred to be called by over the next 20 years rather than her birth name around 2003 heineman was diagnosed with gender dysmorphia and began to transition to a woman she formerly dysphoria thank you what did i say dysmorphia thank you dysphoria uh she formally changed her given name to rebecca ann uh following transition but beautiful story of life right like crazy to read all about this just on the wikipedia page but yeah so many people were saying so many uh great things about her legacy and so rest in peace to rebecca heineman yeah super super sad 62 way too early fuck cancer uh cancer every everybody's been affected by whether it's somebody in your life or somebody uh that you knew of or somebody used to work with or whatever there's just there's always stories like this and um yeah uh hearts go out to her and her family that's very very sad but quite a life lived in those 62 years story number five new game plus comes to Ghost of Yotei November 24th this comes from the homie Andrew Goldfarb at PS blog on November 24th a free pass for all Ghost of Yotei players will introduce new game plus allowing you to replay Atsu's quest for vengeance from the beginning with everything you earned throughout the campaign yes that means it's time to bring a gun to a sword fight with all the new armors abilities and weapons from your first playthrough available from the start of the game new game plus will unlock after you've finished the main story and will add new harder difficulty options and two new trophies.

52:16There's also a new currency called Ghost Flowers that you can exchange with a new vendor for more than 30 new cosmetics, including new armor sets and weapon dyes, plus 10 new charms.

We're also adding new accessibility options including directional button remapping and new photo mode features including shutter speed, a composition grid, and new filters.

52:57So are those pieces of armor available in the main, like, I mean, it's only like a new Game Plus thing? Oh, that's a good question. Because I just want all the armors ever. I imagine the way he words it of like, you can only get it through this shop that's only available in New Game Plus. uh andrew go for i'm gonna need you to like send me a little code or something like give me like a what to get new game plus like a dev input thing like up up down down yeah just beat the game yeah

53:24Blessing Adeoye Jr.:give me the armors beat that game so quick i'm pretty sure i'm gonna just mainline it i'm getting there i just like i've been so sidetracked by a lot of different things and i've also decided it's probably going to be the game that i play when i'm back at my parents house for christmas because they have a PlayStation there, like the PS5 that I sent over there. I guess it's at my nephew's house, my brother's house. Damn, I got to get that PS5 back from him. Yeah, all this sounds neat. Give me Legends. That's what the streets yearn for. When is that? Next year. February? I don't think they said a specific...

53:58Yeah, maybe there's not a date on it. I think they just said early.

54:00Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I don't even know what they said early. They said 2026. I'm really pumped for that. Dude. I'm super stoked for it. It was so interesting doing the review and thinking about... like my version of the review because i i gave it an 8 out of 10 right so it was a great game great game but great video great experience but i was thinking back to ghost of tsushima because i remember ghost of tsushima being in my top like five right i loved adored ghost of tsushima and i was thinking but i was like well i felt the same way after the single player it wasn't until ghost of tsushima legends where i was like fucking goat like go to video game just shot up and so i just need that missing piece of the puzzle that'll like take ghost of yote from being an eight to me to being like a, oh, now I'm obsessed with this game.

54:39Okay, all right. Story number six. Ubisoft will report its missing earnings for the first half of fiscal year 2025-26 before Friday. I love this little notation you put in here, this ominous-ass PDF.

54:55Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Dog. The PDF reads as follows. Ubisoft will communicate on its earnings figures for the first half of fiscal 2025-2026. no later than before the opening of trading on Friday, the 21st, November 2025. And then you get a whole bunch of, you know, financial, legal mumbo jumbo afterwards. This is one of those ones where we might need to do a live reaction. I love that. I love the idea of that. We might need to do like a live, because like this is going to be an event. We're about to learn some fucking news this week about Ubisoft and hopefully have live three. do we really want to react to hey it's over guys Trump's son-in-law and the Saudis have bought another fucking game company you think that's where we're going with it you think the Kushner's getting into more kernels it's just depressing I can only imagine it being the equivalent to something like that man yeah i love the i think people would show up for that oh for sure audience i think this seems like it could be employment viewing yeah that sounds like a very very exciting thing um i do want to uh well actually you know what we will get to super chats later because uh so far it looks like there's a big amount of super chats blessing oh nice but if i wanted something smaller say the tiniest news i need to know about where would i go you go to our last news story the we news channel where we cover all the small news items you need to know did you put the numbers wrong i was wondering for which part well because it said there was seven stories but like we use a seven we knew yeah we knew is always a story yeah yeah did you see someone in the chat blessing uh saying i always knew plus was toxic oh you learned that today no i've always been toxic yeah we news this one uh comes from knoble says mafia the old country free ride update launches November 20th, including car and horse races, combat challenges, first person driving, photo mode, classic difficulty, new weapons, charms, cars, and outfits, and a cinema Siciliano mode.

57:12Wow. Siciliano. Yeah, that's cool. You can also apparently explore the small open world now in free room. Wow. Is it bigger or smaller than Lumios in Pokemon?

57:28I would love a world compared. You know, whenever there's like a new GTA and it's like, look how much bigger the map is compared to, you know, the last map. Desson Laguerre used to do those at IGN where you'd like walk across like the entire like Fallout 4 map or something like that. Desson, get on that.

57:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. What's the Giosi Yote like cinematic mode called? Kurosawa? Yeah. Yeah. It's like the Siciliana mode, like the equivalent. I'm not, that's not a joke. well because as you say that i just imagine like the border is like you know pepperoni and oregano and like mozzarella on the side mozzarella uh tomb raider the legend of lara croft season two premieres on netflix damn they made a season they're making a season two it's coming out dude good for that yeah that's wild is that the announcement yeah i didn't even i didn't I didn't even like put it together. It's that Lara Croft show. I didn't know the first one was successful enough to really.

1:00:02I'm surprised this was Wii News. Because season three of Twisted Metal has been confirmed.

1:00:09Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You know, I cater to the news based on who's on the show sometimes. And so if Tim was here, this would have been story number one. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. This is definitely one of those. Because at the end of Wii News, I'm the type that goes, there's a lot of other IP. We can have TV shows. I put this at the end of Wii News so we can kind of have that curve. Yeah. And on like a high. I can't complain, though, because right now there's still an Elden Ring movie going to be made. Yeah. You got everything you're asking for. I liked the screenshots of Zelda, of Link and Zelda. Okay. I thought they looked good.

1:00:43I have a Mass Effect TV show being worked on.

1:00:46Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yep. I'm kind of getting everything I want right now. What's on your shirt? Citizen Sleeper. You need a Citizen Sleeper movie. Dude. TV show? Have you watched Alien Romulus? No. That's on my list. Okay. I got a backlog of movies. The movie rocks, but the first 30 minutes of that movie, I was like, dude, this is what the Citizen Sleeper movie should be if they were ever to make something. Like, it's just the perfect sort of set design and everything. Citizens don't sleep on Citizen Sleeper. You better not, chat. Everybody better play it, please. It's so good, man. It's so good. That's it for weenies, everybody.

1:01:22Let's get to some super chats and your wrongs.

1:01:25Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I have so many questions about the Siciliana mode because, like, I don't find any. I got a lot of questions about this. Because Kurosawa, I guess, yeah, I'll look. I'm looking into it more, guys. Because, like, what you're looking for is you want. What's the history? You want an Italian director to have, like. Yeah. Oh, that's that person's mode or whatever. Yes. But. All I can find is Andrew Siciliano. Oh, NFL. Yeah, an American sports television maker. His ears are humongous. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. They're, like, the same size as mine, but his stick out a lot. This guy, no sports. He's got, like, the.

1:01:58Yeah. Andrew Cilliano, that guy rules. Here's some Super Chats. Samson L,$2 Super Chat. Thank you, Samson. It says, Andy, you're thinking of Luxray. No, it's not. Okay, good. Thank you. Needed that. Thwarted Junk with a$10 Super Chat says, with Bless bringing up the nomination deadline for Game Awards this year for Dispatch and Arc Raiders, what happens to GTA 6 next year, push back for the deadline, or is it a 2027 GOATI contender? It all depends on whatever Jeff decides to do. yeah i mean mario siciliano was an italian film director screenwriter and producer i don't know if they named it after him or that's just because you know it's that's a good call

1:02:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:is there a is there a dev at the studio named siciliano where's this no it's got to be this dude he's a film director screenwriter for 40 years that seems pretty legendary so for gosayote they're like oh yeah we got a kurosawa mode one of the most acclaimed like you know prestigious directors were time for them they were like i'm sorry the italians didn't have anybody bigger blessed you do though don't you have i think italians have like what's his name we got mario godfather yeah what's his name but he's an actor you know okay italian directors you got like you want like a scorsese or something yeah but i didn't want to assume

1:03:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:i wanted y 'all to say i guess i assumed but i didn't want to say it out loud because i'm like what if it's not oh god uh chase wilson with a two dollars super chat says i highly recommend watching that high score doc five dollars he would chat from smoke me a kipper says scotland qualified for the world cup last night see you bitches next year parentheses if trump lets us in oh yeah uh most of you people look white so i'm okay with you guys uh mad rocks five dollar super chat says went to vegas on thursday won ten thousand dollars on saturday got back home on sunday and i think i'm now sick due to the rain during that time worth it worth it nk is crazy yeah You can cough in my mouth for 10K.

1:04:16Because he got sick. I'm saying the trade-off is bad. Oh, okay. I was like, what? Not randomly. You could spit in my face. Spit in my mouth. Superchat from Kebab says, why didn't Dave the Diver do this? I'm assuming you're talking about giving up the debut indie or best indie. I forget whether it was nominated for one or both. Maybe it was both. I think it was just best indie. But like. Hmm. This is just a different situation, though. This is like somebody who had developed a lot of games before and then went under a different. It's the different name part.

1:04:52Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah, I think it's more clear cut. This one. I think the best indie slash independent thing is more. I don't know. I just don't think there's like a good definition of it. Yeah. People disagree on what indie means. I think you're expecting the data diver devs to go. Hey, we have a lot of funding and a lot of employees. We're owned by Nexon. So we shouldn't be there. where this is a different situation. But like Barry, my point is that people disagree. Like people are arguing about whether clear obscure is an indie game, right? Like I think that's more so the thing. Everybody send your financial books to Jeff Keighley.

1:05:25Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. If your game costs more than$500 ,000. If it's pixel art, it's indie. If it's not pixel art, it's not indie. The Portland Kevin,$5 Super Chat, says, Last week I released a podcast episode of PlayStation Plus Game Club focusing on Sword of the Sea. Game is great. Like a mix of Journey and Tony Hawk.

1:06:22Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. Do you think, because why not do it Scorsese mode? You'd have to talk to them, right? Yeah. Did they talk to the Kurosawa people at the Kurosawa Estate? Oh, yeah. You can't use that name without it, yeah. Okay, that makes sense. A thousand percent. They were able to talk to Siciliano. No offense to Siciliano. Seems like a cool guy. But here's the other thing is like, I do wonder if there's a little bit, I have to look into this just because. Please do. I want to say like, even though Scorsese, obviously Italian man, but born in America, right? Sure. And so. I see. I see what you're saying.

1:07:03They want to look for someone who might actually, you know, be from the country who has like a very specific style that might actually represent the culture of filmmaking there. I see what you're getting at. Yeah, I like that.

1:07:15Blessing Adeoye Jr.:When you say Sicily is also where it is set. That has to be hard. That's true. That is also, yeah. I brought that up earlier. Okay. But like, that just means like, you know, then that's like calling a modem go to Tsushima Japan. You know? You know what I mean? Sure. If that's the case, it's stupid. It's kind of weird. I do want to make a call out right now. This has nothing to do with the show, nothing with anything. It's just like, this is the place where more eyes and ears will be on it.
