Lately, I haven't been getting fulfillment out of much of anything really, even forum games.

I really liked forum games, a lot. Now it seems it's either too much or never enough.

Seems like reading in general is just a bother, and I've never felt this way before.

WTF

Ok, I can tell you're smart, because half the time I don't understand some of the stuff you say. Can you give us some workable examples please?

Uh, feel free to comment on the time thing.

We've talked a lot about support and econ. It can help a lot but it can also detract from the game.
What things do you need to have in econ and what things do you want to keep out of everything?
I guess it's like a balance or something. If it's too simple, then it's boring. Too complex and it's all just lost.

Hi Question for the GM.

Generally, I want my character to provide mostly engineering / task assistance to help everybody in the game and make it easier. X4 is happy with that. Some questions:

A.) X4 is an engineer. What equipment and skills would it be designed to use to fill tasks. Ship systems engineering? computer science/hacking? Construction/tool/task? Are we going to be mining for minerals, building settlements, or manufacturing? (because I imagine X4 might have program skills for that). Also I guess some light exploration through its scanners etc. How can X4 be of most engineering help?
B.) Surviving? Fearful of designing a combat AI, X4's creators didn't. Maybe his tools could be weapons, but mostly not. Self repair? Hiding? Providing combat bonuses to others? Just wondering how the bot would deal with combat.
C.) Abilities. I know modules are found, but it goes to equipment kinda. Do robots use standard equipment and tools or are they built in? I'm just trying to fit in as best can be done. :)

I imagine X4 staying operational during the crew's stasis, maintaining the ship faithfully, helping construct camps / explore and building things / scanning / being a great support character.

Sounds fun.

I like the stuff above. If we play our cards right, the villagers will eventually love us. We can improve their lives and our own. Things can end up with our magic making everyone better off. Free magic warmth will go a long way toward that.

These people know how to survive here and we will do a lot better with them on our side.

Not sure what you mean by "transitioning." Is that moving from one part of the story to the next or ?
(Also we never really got a great answer on fixing the showing area stuff, like just a "bam there it is" example of how to show land).

K, so that's actually kinda cool and I sorta like where that's going.

I was kinda wondering about structure though. I mean I get the whole free form thing but really some structure helps. Plot lines or something I guess right? Do you have quests and divide things up into stages? Do you have branches with multiple choices? I gotta have something to go off.

Hum, well.

1 My drives seem up to date. This is literally the only program I am having issues with. All others are ok it seems.
2 It's a card game. Please don't tell me it needs a ton of graphics

Also, if this isn't a good computer game with magic cards, is there another free one that is good? I would probably just want to play against the computer. Maybe another player but that's not really needed if its a big deal.

I really don't know too much about this stuff an I'd kinda like to please .

Thank you

Life Advice / Magic Duels Origins Black Screen problem
« on: May 23, 2016, 08:58:03 pm »
I just downloaded Magic Duels Origins from wizards of the coast. Figured it was free so what would the harm be?

I can hear the music, and if I click my cursor turns into the game cursor.

The problem is, I see a black screen and nothing else.

I've googled it and tried to change from fullscreen to windowned mode in the config file and stuff like that. No luck.

Has anybody else run into this problem?

Lost all my saved games progress. I know it's little compared to a lot of other stuff, but still sucks.

254
Uh, how do you know how much labor is required per task and why is that one 50? Just for demonstration or?

255
That might actually work. Especially if you spoiler it or whatever. Could do you that with other things?
