Bay 12 Games Forum

Not enough drunk people on the forum.

*engage alcoholism*

I mean physics doesn’t make a game bro. I’ve played games for 28 of my 31 years, so it’s totes gameplay *+ story that do it for me

I’m also super duper drunk at this point. Grains of salt etc.

Shit, man. I am fucking drunk.

Plus fucking one, mate.

I know I divulged very personal information to someone, but I guess they did the same to me? Then my wife did same to said person’s wife, though I was simultaneously being taught cribbage so i wansn’t quite paging attention to my wife so as to be competitive in that. I think I avoided skunk, more or less.

I see errors but fuck it, it makes sense and you guys can see that. Autocorrectnis good for things sometimes.

 Edit; I probably shouldn’t be sharing this in t’intenets, but fuck it you guys understand, probably. Rolan and Hansoanda, but that’s projecting, most definitely. Sorry.

I knew it, or I knew this.

still fully confident that he will never rise ascendent.

Much like everyone was after the Access Hollywood tape came out.

The FBI probably won’t tell everyone they’re investigating his opponent a few days before the election this time.

The only fortunate part is that I have a fair feeling that he's actually delusional. Stuff he was posting on his sites sounds like mentally deranged fantasy fuel. Still, it's scary that such a person is seeking office.

Nah that’s not that scary.

It’s scary when people start voting for him.

I want every interaction with the game to be meaningful, for which I used the exemplar of shaving during the tutorial.

It is presented as a QTE. I wanted to see what would happen if I failed to follow the instructions presented on screen. The consequence for this was "no, idiot, do it the way we want you to do it" as opposed to the previously mentioned "oh look actions have consequences", which proved to be rather disappointing.

Contrasting this, I use the example of another game made by the same developer in which your character has woken up the morning following the evening after he brutally murdered someone in the bathroom of a diner - the commission of which, if I recall correctly, is the tutorial for that game. He realises he needs to clean up after himself, and is in the process of such when the police knock at his door demanding to speak to him.

What follows is an "oh shit what do I need to clean up so I can avoid arrest". While frustrating - it's not immediately obvious what the pass criteria for the event is, resulting in several failed attempts culminating in the arrest of said character and a game over - you feel deserving of progressing the story once you succeed.
