@FlorianVltmn making games is a weird thing - so many different skills involved, and so many different types of games that can be made. idk if i keep circling back to hit that early peak, or if i'm getting to the nice bit of proficiency...Permalink Look on archive.org

@FlorianVltmn it is nice when a random skill you got in one area becomes relevant in another area? and also just getting more comfortable with uncertaintyPermalink Look on archive.org

@alexhern find myself holding two maybe-contradictory positions: - it's a big crisis, so Google etc should use all their location data to do contact tracing - the official government contact tracing app should be decentralized & not leave a legacy of a big database of sensitive dataPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@mountain_ghosts @alexhern i think these are decent points (from ncsc.gov.uk/files/NHS-app-security-paper%20V0.1.pdf)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@mountain_ghosts @alexhern fwiw, i'm probably on the "make it decentralized" point of view, but that's basically just because Google & Apple will let it do bluetooth in the background that wayPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@lmichet what's your take on the dresden dolls?Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@LydNicholas @smithsam one reason that they give for building a centralized service is because they can be better at screening out malicious submissions to the service, allowing them to let the app trigger on self-diagnosis rather than soley on a confirmed test (see end of ncsc.gov.uk/files/NHS-app-security-paper%20V0.1.pdf)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@LydNicholas @smithsam that might well be true! but the link doesn't give details how to prevent the kinds of abuses the NHS team says they're worried about, and does assume that triggering happens upon a positive testPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@LydNicholas @smithsam I haven't read the DP-3T white paper, so again, maybe there are other ways to handle thisPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@LydNicholas @smithsam yep - and i definitely share those concerns about trust. but also the thing that probably trumps all of this is that Apple & Google will let a decentralized app do BT pings in the backgroundPermalink Look on archive.org

@mousefountain so it depends how you're drawing that distinction - but you can get pretty far by manually processing a LUT in a post-process effect - if you posterize it, you'll get posterization, but you can do funkier stuff to get some nice palettes in there.Permalink Look on archive.org

@chrisbaraniuk right, of course. but I think there is a valid point that in that kind of extreme situation, people are more likely to form a group focused on helping each other than on division.

@chrisbaraniuk yes: and there's never going to be one single answer, and obviously circumstances and culture will count for so much. but what is clear to me is that the narrative "we are all held back from barbarism by the civilising effects of society & law" is false.Permalink Look on archive.org

@lingmops Yeah, I loved Killing Eve (Season 1, at least, I didn't get on with it after that. but ymmv!). The Berlin episode!

This morning I'm learning about apples.

otherwise it probably produces bad apples? only clones are reliable. also you can graft loads of different types of apple branches into the same tree. so you can have as many varieties as you like.Permalink Look on archive.org

mainly i am glad that there's a market segment that connects with players that is smaller than all of "indie games". because that was too large to be particularly useful. it's great marketing, and that's important because i want people to get paid for making their games.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
my take is that: "positive vibes only!!" people are just as likely to do shitty things as other people, and are often worse because they won't talk about their shitty behaviour or deal with it. you can draw the parallel to games p easily.Permalink Look on archive.org

which is not to say that games tagged as wholesome are bad? but it's just an aesthetic. and as an aesthetic, i quite like it? i'm more of a fan of flat pastels than gritty brown (and it's easier to make that work on a low budget)Permalink Look on archive.org

in conclusion: play Dépanneur Nocturne, it's great ko-op.itch.io/dep-nocturnePermalink Look on archive.org

but of course, like most successful marketing, it's going to erase a lot of the complexities and interesting tensions within the actual games. probably bad if all you're trying to do is make a wholesome game? but luckily, most games have higher aspirations than that.Permalink Look on archive.org
