60 of 83 · most liked firstI see Demis Hassabis is among the crowd on that "AI Person Of The Year" Time Magazine cover. I remember reading about him in Edge, years ago.... .... when he was making "Evil Genius".... .... a game about subjugating the population of the planet. Red flags are easy to spot with hindsight.

unlabelledView post →Evil Genius Games is continuing their attempt to censor industry news by issuing what looks to me like an invalid DMCA Takedown Notice for the original investigation article about their business practices. www.enworld.org/threads/evil...

unlabelledView post →Apparently Evil Genius Games is sending legal letters to E.N. World TTRPG News & Reviews to try to get a news article they did on EGG issues taken down. This is NOT a good look, or a smart move by EGG. www.enworld.org/threads/evil...
unlabelledView post →The CEO of Evil Genius Games, who has been watching his company slowly folding up, has not decided to start making legal threats as well. Stick a fork in him, he's done folks because that's peak desperation right there. #ttrpg www.enworld.org/threads/evil...
unlabelledView post →I've personally seen him swear out someone who called him on his idiocy. In my case he was accusing Demis Hassabis, one of the founders of DeepMind, of being "obviously evil" because he uh...worked on a game called Evil Genius in a previous career. The man can convince himself of anything.
unlabelledView post →Not enough of d20 Spectaculars was finished for it to be released. Now, 19 years later, I *could* 're'create it from scratch without using any of the words WotC paid me for. Evil Genius Games' doing a "Spectacular Heroes' game seems more likely. geekeratimedia.substack.com/p/three-unpu...
unlabelledView post →#dragonthoughts We really need a Dungeon Keeper/Evil Genius style game, but where you're a dragon managing your kobold tribe. Being a big powerful dragon with your kobold workers, managing their needs as you expand your lair and hoard, and deal with those pesky adventurers.
unlabelledView post →There are some things I've pitched for/written samples for that might surprise people. But in terms of published work, it's probably the 7-page comic about a retrofuturistic casino heist I wrote for the official companion for the game Evil Genius 2 (which I also wrote for).

unlabelledView post →Man know what I miss playing? Games where you are the villain. Not "you can chose to do evil things" but an actual game where you are a bad person. Like Dungeon Keeper or Evil Genius. It doesn't have to be serious either.
unlabelledView post →Evil Genius Games/Dave Scott have been threatening people with legal action if they don't take down critical articles - www.enworld.org/threads/evil... (Notably, the supposed legal letter doesn't actually mention what in the article is supposedly defamatory)

unlabelledView post →Yes, Theme Park was a good game, but new Nobel winner Demis also founded and ran Elixir Studios (Evil Genius!), did the AI on Black & White, and once ate an entire six foot Italian sub in under an hour without even soaking the bread or anything. You gotta read the rest of the Wikipedia page!
unlabelledView post →If you could remake any video game, but with a GW theme, what would you want? I would love a Games Workshop version of Vampire Survivors or Dynasty Warriors. Also, Evil Genius clone and something like Transport Tycoon. Would also settle for a tower defence game.

unlabelledView post →License-first games seem to not perform well. Renegade is practically unknown. Leading Edge never got rich. Evil Genius were just scammers. Even precious D&D licenses like Conan and Diablo flopped. Has the Airbender game ever been expanded beyond the Kickstarter bundle?
unlabelledView post →Game idea: Orcish Bank. Evil Genius / Prison Architect like base building. Keeping thieves away from your bullion. Gradually expanding operations, while you make choices about who to lend money to each day (Papers Please). Gradually your choices impact the fate of the (Ank Morporkish) city.
unlabelledView post →...Would love it if Rebellion studios would figure out the same fucking lesson, because Evil Genius 2 really could have used the shot in the arm that open modding would have given it, before they abandoned the game with clear evidence of planned but unfinished DLC. (islands on the map we can't use)

unlabelledView post →I liked Evil Genius 2, despite my gripes with many of its functions, but I kinda wish there was a game like it, but you actually played as the villain directly, ordering your minions around and doing things in a more active fashion.
unlabelledView post →Heya folks, here's a vid featuring the intro to the 2004 game Evil Genius by Elixir Studios and Sierra Entertainment. This game is quite fun, and it's quite a lot like Dungeon Keeper in a way. Albeit with a vastly different setting. #evilgenius #videogames #retrogames #simulationgames

unlabelledView post →Underrated game is hands down Evil Genius. It’s buggy as fuck but its humour is unmatched!!! Evil Genius 2 is also pretty solid if you can’t get past the bugs, but I cannot recommend this highly. Plus Alexis is an absolute serve! Executing minions with your cigarette? Queen!!!

unlabelledView post →Evil Genius wouldn't be so brilliant as a game if the minions just did exactly what you tell them to. (The first one. I have no idea what the sequel's like, and IIRC, it was a mobile game, so it's probably nowhere near as brilliant.)

Hopefully you all signed up on Evil Genius’s events page!

The character and the game are all owned by Rebellion. Give them a shout-out, and let’s hope they will like the sketch as well.

unlabelledView post →Heck yeah! Or even get in touch with Rebellion Developments and hand them the Star Wars license again to do another Evil Genius game in the style of Star Wars. I'd be all over that.
unlabelledView post →There’s always @drcarpineti.bsky.social Alfredo, can you remember the name of one of the other science bods on Evil Genius who did science if Star Wars etc? He might be a reasonable shout if he’s still in the game.
unlabelledView post →Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind worked in the video game industry in the 90s/early 00s and his own game studio made a game called Evil Genius... "the gameplay puts players in charge of a villainous force attempting to achieve global domination whilst fending off the forces of justice" 😬

unlabelledView post →But I'm not actually convinced by that? Like, I'm a basic person, so when I play a game, I'm almost always playing a fairly generic good guy, but I don't think it's bad for them, for people who choose to play cackling monsters in those same games? Like, I don't enjoy Evil Genius, but I don't think

unlabelledView post →Look it's tempting to say "Dungeon Keeper" or "Evil Genius" or "Startopia" or "Freelancer" but I know all of those are nostalgia baited poisoned chalices.

The game will be the first to use EGG’s new sci-fi ruleset.
unlabelledView post →OK. Yesterday I completed another game in my "Try to beat the backlog" list. Evil Genius 2 came back around. Loved the first game, but this one released in a bad state, so I shelved it. These days, I give it a solid 6 out of 10, but suggest against the DLC.
