@xianc78 it needs to be a specific type of game to do stuff like that, i think. it's not really the kind of game i want to make. my general idea for the third one might work with some sort of procedural generation, but who knows, that's waaaay far out. for this, i want to make something with a robust main story and much more detailed areas. basically a lot more focused instead of offering a lot of variety.

this game will have decent replayability though, i'd reckon. i've got an idea right now to make all of the side characters vulnerable in combat... as in they can permanently die. being alive or dead will affect their parts of the story and the ending.

@xianc78 the general idea is to make it way more story focused and linear, with a big focus on character interactions.

@xianc78 it won't be open world

I started working on the story outline for God's Disdain 2 alongside some mechanics I'd like to have in it. It's still quite a ways out, but it's good to get some thoughts together sooner when I have the time and inspiration for it. FF16 has really put me in the mood but fantasy writing.

Oh no I'm actually retarded. I just ate an entire bowl of ramen without broth because I thought they just forgot to add the broth since it was right before closing. Then I finish it to find the broth was UNDERNEATH and I had to take out the bowl with all the noodles and stuff and dump it in 😭😭😭

@xianc78 @helldiverliberator i think people were just happy to be playing games. it was a much, much smaller industry back then. now, with how monolithic it is, there are so many more people with much louder voices and that's also thanks to the internet.

@xianc78 @helldiverliberator Nintendo is a company of two halves. Their games have always been amazing and their corporate has always been shit.

@helldiverliberator I wish I could be happy about that

@xianc78 i used way too many in my game lol, could have lessened it by a lot if i knew more about general coding practices instead of just making things work in rpg maker. no way am i going back and changing all of it now lol but some of the systems are a bit of a mess xD

@MoeBritannica people have never modded models before

@xianc78 stephen king really looks like a monkey here

@GrungeQueef @That-Mushroom @Gran3Walder ghetto and not in an endearing way

@xianc78 if the person making the list is on poast that would make sense, it's pretty monolithic

Yo guys! The beta for my game is now ready :D if you are interested, check out this post: https://gameliberty.club/@aftermidnight/113162460671845932

I've been working on this game for nearly 9 years now. Myself and so many other people have put a lot of work into it. I can't believe it's finally at this point and I really hope you'll check it out :) it even has some Fediverse representation, with @Mr_NutterButter making the company logo that appears right when you open the game and @matana contributing the cover art and a couple of extra assets.

If you like classic RPGs with vast worlds, turn-based combat, and fun characters then you will love this. The easiest way to describe it is Dragon Quest meets Elder Scrolls.

After playing FFXVI for about 5 hours, I'm stopping for a bit because my room is getting uncomfortably hot xD I'm playing at 4k max settings and actually getting 60fps for the most part, so my PC is cooking lol. I think this is the first game to really stress my system like this.

The game is really good! I'm enjoying it a lot. So far, I think the combat has leaned to the easy side even though I have it on the harder difficulty, but considering I'm only like 1/10 through the game I'm sure it'll get harder.

A lot of people were comparing the story/setting to Game of Thrones but idk, it still seems VERY much like Final Fantasy to me. Feels more FF than driving around as a boy band in a car shilling Cup Noodles that's for sure :meru_lul:

@xianc78 sims 3 is actually a horribly coded game. I'm willing to bet they did away with the open world just because it had way too much of a performance impact and made things break often. After a while playing on a save file, especially with lots of expansions, the game can take 5+ minutes to load even on newer hardware and you need mods just to clean things up. I'm not surprised they shifted away from open world.

Personally, I do like sims 4 more. I think it actually works better just fundamentally. But I do miss the personality and the customizability of sims 3.

their actual reasoning is that they don't want players to feel like they are losing their progress when they go to a new game. BITCH THE OLD GAME IS STILL THERE I'M NOT LOSING SHIT!

so apparently sims 5 is more or less cancelled and they're just going to keep updating sims 4 forever. lol, lmao even.
