@tha_rami @Draknek @gothdome @LorenzoPilia i mean, already there is a twitter account posting up credits day-by-day - the info is out there, it's just that it's unofficial, not official.Permalink Look on archive.org

@tha_rami @Draknek @gothdome @LorenzoPilia i definitely understand why you don't want to put credits up ahead of time, and i think it's definitely stronger for not doing that. but it seems weird and bad for the devs not to put credits up as you go.Permalink Look on archive.org

@tha_rami @Draknek @gothdome @LorenzoPilia yes, the biggest moments will be at the start & the end - but most of the attention will come in drips and drops throughout the year. do you want that attention to be on the project itself, or on the artists who are contributing?Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@tha_rami @Draknek @gothdome @LorenzoPilia mmm - i think a root cause of this disagreement is that for me & others, this is primarily curation, where i think you're coming at it as a experience/software. it's notable that most of the people (me included!) who have pushed back at this are curators.Permalink Look on archive.org

@ellaguro i am weirdly more salty about Seumas McNally/Nuovo overlaps? the same argument applies ("isn't it great a game can be both"), but it gets me more.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro "isn't it great a game can be both" but also there's weirdnesses because the categories are done independently and there's no mechanism to say to one jury "uh, hang on, let's balance this out a bit"Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro i'm sure there's some metagaming within a jury "ah, let's not pick this, it'll probably get a ____ nom, anyway"... idk, we pick Mild Rumpus stuff thinking about what'll get IGF attention, tho often we pick before IGF is announced, so we do the same.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro dunno if things are ranked within nominees/HMs, but yeah, that would make sense to me. i'd even let the Nuovo jury keep an overlap - but it'd be better if they knew they were doing it on purpose?Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro oh, okay then!Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro yeah, agreed!Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro the reason i'm more on the fence about GDC Choice / IGF is that there is still a bit of me that would care a lot about the validation of winning an IGF. i care less about a GDC Choice, and I'm sure many others would, too.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro oh, huh... i don't know if i agree. i think it's better at bringing exposure and having credibility if it includes """the best""" (and generally studios that have had success and have grown are good about stepping down)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro like, i don't want to have to start caring about the GDC Choice / Game Awards, y'know? but if i want to be the best, and that's the arena that the really successful people are competing in, then that's where my attention should be.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro imagine heavy quote marks around "best" there. and "successful", probably, tooPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro i guess i feel like if the IGF doesn't reward things because they've been in GDC Choice/Game Awards, then it sets up a hierarchy where those awards are more important than the IGF.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro if you do a better job defining what the IGF is for, and what other awards are for, and reduce the overlap, then that's great. but it feels bad to disqualify games from the IGF for having too high a level of commercial or critical success.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ellaguro agreed, and yeah, i definitely wouldn't feel bad for those devs, i just think it'd be bad for the award to have that framing. -- and on that, i'm gonna go do some tidying. thank you for this chat, it's been good to think about.Permalink Look on archive.org

@nielsen_holly good points! how does the anthropomorphization work for you? ie, her thanking objects for their service as she gets rid of them, clapping to wake up the books, etc (I find it charming, and can imagine it being helpful, though I definitely can understand it irritating people)Permalink Look on archive.org

@nielsen_holly fair! that also makes sense.Permalink Look on archive.org

-
wait, actually, one more opinion. It's funny that a book tells you to get rid of (other) books. It's like it's jealous & needs to be the only one. Or maybe you don't take it to imply other books, and commit to the process so thoroughly you throw out the book halfway.Permalink Look on archive.org

I think about "whimsy" and Keita Takahashi a lot when analysing how to design games. It's kinda the opposite of this - ground everything, going for the specific over the abstract, even when there's no reason for the specific except delighting in that one thing.Permalink Look on archive.org

@jonritter not quite quality... it says "this is a Thing", it is a statement that is trying to tell you there is a community out there buzzing about this thing, even if you're not in that community yourself. that community could be wrong, but it's different from not knowing if anyone cares.Permalink Look on archive.org

this is *such* a smart idea. demonstrating that the game understands that your character has a particular personality, making building on that or deviating from that a foregrounded thing... and also not writing any extra content to do so. so smart. @emshort/1086631831984881665Permalink Look on archive.org

@ElectronDance top yellow left is surely necessary to get the pink across that gap, but can you then use the vertical 2x1 to hold the neutral blocks up in order to get the pink across the later gap to touch the other pink on it's right hand side...Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ElectronDance and obviously the vertical yellow block isn't sufficient to carry the pink more than a single square, so maybe there's a way to get in-between the two neutral blocks? and then i start to stare blankly, in much the same way i would if i was actually playing....Permalink Look on archive.org

@ElectronDance ah-hah! left yellow helps pink across. yellow drops in place, neutrals move onto yellow and stretch right to let right yellow help pink across one more. right yellow drops, left yellow moves on top, and they all go over to the right to help pink out for the final stretch!Permalink Look on archive.org
