@lazerwalker fairly trad F2P, but thinking about dress-up games, where there's a load of narrative in there, but with a typical F2P structure layering them out. but that does use the dress-up parts as the gamey part that paces them out, so maybe not what you're thinking about.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@mcclure111 @lazerwalker when I was working on Mutazione, characters did dialogue using a quality-based narrative system (storylets, basically). The fallback was a single line, which I imagined would work similarly. But the hope was to have rich conversational variants. The AC solution is probably betterPermalink Look on archive.org

-
@keefstuart - but also this is still a power fantasy. you want to feel cool. you want to feel like you're in a movie. narrative is expensive, everything has to be unique. looking at stuff is great, but not actioney enough. hacking could work well! all depends on how that hacking bit works.Permalink Look on archive.org

-
@keefstuart so, ultimately, you just go heavy on movement systems.

@osamadorias @studioanisa "A Game Design Vocabulary" is my go to. It's very conscious of the straddling the balance between being weirdly prescriptive and being entirely theoretical without any actual applicable advice (very much to its credit).Permalink Look on archive.org

@philippawarr this sounds really hard, and yeah, dependent on learning style/confidence. it seems like a real lack of understanding in terms of headspace between you, which seems like it'll be hard to bridge and will just be frustrating and stressful for both of you.Permalink Look on archive.org

@mcclure111 @SirProdigle @pedrothedagger I've probably been softened up by years of weird and alarming British politics, but I am not especially alarmed. BXP gained a significant but not ultimately huge increase on the old UKIP share in the EU elections, and they have continually failed to get a seat at a GE.Permalink Look on archive.org

@mcclure111 @SirProdigle @pedrothedagger this poll more seems to reflect feeling and intention of the EU elections than the difficult to think about GE. especially since it asks about party, not candidate. not that i don't think it's alarming, but I struggle to take it at face value. maybe that's foolish?Permalink Look on archive.org
