The Doc officially announced the launch of Midnight Society in December 2021, with the plan to bring out a new FPS title to challenge the biggest AAA games in the world. The game \u2014 which so far has only been codenamed Project Moon \u2014 has drawn criticism already for the use of NFTs in the game, but now the actual development process is being questioned, too. After journalist Paul Tassi questioned whether their freshly-announced rollout plans are viable, putting out new verticals of content every six weeks and adapting to their players\u2019 feedback, Destiny 2 dev Joe Blackburn said that the \u201ccycles seem too fast for meaningful new changes.\u201d innovation comes from trying stuff that others think won\u2019t work, so maybe they\u2019ll discover something cool My 2cents are the cycles seem too fast for meaningful new changes games are bad for a long time, I\u2019d worry most features get panned before they get a chance at iteration \u2014 Joe Blackburn (@joegoroth) July 11, 2022 He did, however, add that \u201cinnovation comes from trying stuff that others think won\u2019t work, so maybe they\u2019ll discover something cool.\u201d Dr Disrespect himself responded to the original tweet, mocking the concerns and joking that he \u201chopes they [the \u201cgamedev volks\u201d] say it\u2019s ok.\u201d Damn we forgot to run our plans by the \u201cGamedev folks\u201d. Hope they say it\u2019s ok. \u2014 Dr Disrespect (@DrDisrespect) July 11, 2022 Of course, as a game development studio, there are \u201cgamedev folks\u201d who work at Midnight Society, so it seems likely these plans would have been run past them at some point. As pointed out, this is a unique approach, something most Doc fans would expect from him anyway, and it will be interesting to see how this affects the development of Project Moon. The Two-Time didn\u2019t respond to any more criticism or concerns regarding the game\u2019s formative plans, but needless to say, he believes firmly in what they\u2019re putting together at Midnight Society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Disrespect defends Midnight Society\u2019s development process after criticism from game devs YouTube: Dr DisrespectStreaming sensation Dr Disrespect has hit back at criticism after his game development studio, Midnight Society, launched its ambitious rollout plans \u2014 leaving some questioning how viable their approach is.
