    I enjoyed every minute of this game. The fact that it had a 5+ year development time really showed in the finished product. So good.

      the castle was done well, the rest of the game and overall gameplay not so much. They were clearly rushed halfway through the project.

      Overall it's 6/10 - And that's only because the Castle was so good.
      There is definately fun to be had if you're a fan, but it's nowhere near as good as reviews made it out to be.

      That's one of the issues with the tutorial world in general. There's an oversaturation of content for beginners, and then a sparse number of courses for intermediate levels. And for truly advanced levels, there's little to nothing most times.

    I was surprised how you were able to release a switch version. I hope the turnover for a new game isn't as long. I dont understand how devs get to reuse assets and it takes similar time to make. God war horizon and legend of zelda. These games reuse assets and yet they take just as long to make. Its crazy things are taking so long.

      The devs show this to the game dev community for others to get inspired to make their own tools, to market the game studio to new devs and for Epic devs to see it as well and maybe implement them as improvements if they could not do it before

      These are tools and plugins developed by Avalanche for HL, they're not publicly available. The ability to customize the engine for your development needs is however. There are several where he mentions they don't require engine source code edits or are using external software.
