@jukevox yeah, i'm building Downpour in Flutter (ok ok, I've not *released* anything in it... but I've spent the last few months immersing myself in it, so...)Permalink Look on archive.org

emojis that are references to specific singular people or things: 🥸🕴️🎅🗽🕋🗾🗼 (and i guess all the flags)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@jukevox other things i was considering: React Native, Unity. built a first prototype in Unity, but Downpour is app-shaped, not game-shaped (lots of UI, user data, etc) so it made more sense to do it in Flutter.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@jukevox the problem it is solving for me is: building a mobile app with good performance for both Android & iOS, and not having to do it twice.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@jukevox Dart is a language you won't have used before, but is sufficiently boring that it's not at all painful to learn. Flutter is generally sensibly built, but the ecosystem is dependent on Google's continued investment. Gotta work kinda hard if you don't wanna do Material Design.Permalink Look on archive.org

@EmmaTheresaJ the idea is that emoji have a meaning which is independent of the way they are drawn by particular platforms. which is... maybe not true in reality, but that's how the Unicode spec tries to work.Permalink Look on archive.org

@GhostTownGoldie 40 points to 100 percent: 100 percent / 40 points = 2.5% per point so take the marks out of 40 and multiply them by 2.5 to get a percentagePermalink Look on archive.org
-
@GhostTownGoldie yep - you can take a percentage and divide by 2.5 to get to a mark out of 40. or for a mark out of 15 it would be dividing by 6.6666666... or for a mark out of 25 it would be dividing by 4.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@GhostTownGoldie 🥰 i guess the more general way to think about it is that you know what mark a 100% assignment would be (let's say 40). and from that you can figure out what a 1% assignment would be (0.4, 100 times less). and then you can multiply that by whatever percentage to get the result.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@GhostTownGoldie like, 87% is 87 times 0.4 which is 34.8. (2.5 is 1 divided by 0.4, dividing by 2.5 is the same as multiplying by 0.4)Permalink Look on archive.org

in a similar way, if you have seen a lot of images, the image that a AI model will generate for a particular prompt does not give you very much new information beyond that contained in the promptPermalink Look on archive.org
-
a picture is worth 1000 words (if the prompt was 1000 words long)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
it includes the prompt because, as Robin Sloan says, the thing that is impressive is that it has made an image that matches the prompt, not the image itself @v21/1533879912410521600Permalink Look on archive.org
-
of course, there is still value in generating the image - sometimes a particular format wants an image in a certain place instead of text. but personally i would be 100% fine if the Medium articles i scan to find out how to do a thing with code didn't have any stock art in them.Permalink Look on archive.org

was playing Hardspace Shipbreaker last night & got to the bit where Lou is like "we should get the union in!" to a group who are all pretty sceptical of the union and... that does not accord to my understanding of good organising practice.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
maybe this stuff is addressed later on in the story, but for now i gotta say: if you want to understand how to organise through a pop culture depiction of an over the top workplace & workers rebelling against it, Sorry To Bother You is where it's atPermalink Look on archive.org
-
you're supposed to build a base of support with private conversations first! you're not supposed to refer to the union as an external entity coming in as opposed to a thing that we form together!Permalink Look on archive.org
-
anyway, i'm still find cutting spaceships apart in zero-gee a nice thing to wind down with before bed, so I reckon I'll play on.Permalink Look on archive.org

@its_natclayton yeah, like, it's hard to portray a deepening relationship with a silent protagonist, and you do want to hustle the plot along. but... yeah.Permalink Look on archive.org

@AustinKelmore @IWGB_GW i'm glad to hear it! (not least because those trainings are where I learned what Actual Organising looks like)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@its_natclayton like... the most important thing you can do when organising is listen. which is maybe not the easiest fit for talking to a silent protagonist.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@hoskingc yeah, and it's funny, it's hard to imagine a world where you don't have to think about something as much as you currently doPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@hoskingc i guess the thing is that the reason it's hard to imagine is that you're imagining a world where you can trust public bodies more than you do now. "tax takes 5 minutes? that can't be right, you'd miss out on deductions"Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@ldreamfeel that sucks!! buuuut it's not dissimilar here in the UK. (possible to form one, but difficult & expensive & generally not a good idea). i think i'd still draw a distinction between the legal umbrella entity & the way the union actually operates within an org.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
the more interesting tension i'm enjoying chewing over is that it is a game about labouring, it makes doing that labour interesting and satisfying. but it is narratively about the terrible conditions under which you do that labour.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
so the ways in which it is terrible have to be expressed narratively & not felt by the player. you're in awful debt (but you can pay it down reliably). you have barely any time to do anything but work and sleep (so you can get back to the fun bit quickly).Permalink Look on archive.org
-
the job is awfully dangerous (but when you die you're resurrected as a maybe a little memory impaired clone for a nominal fee), the management are controlling (except you can do what you like in the yard with few consequences save your debt going up a bit)Permalink Look on archive.org

@oh_cripes well, yes, but it is explicitly framed as a fantasy & contrasted against the actual way that things operate with normal banks (and compared against the actual operation of crypto investment schemes)Permalink Look on archive.org

@oh_cripes ah, yeah - the Terra at the end of the 2nd para is a crypto stablecoin that melted down recently.Permalink Look on archive.org

feels like so much of the job of a game designer generally is "to figure out structure from first principles given the specifics of the game" @NotBrunoAgain/1541749817097027585Permalink Look on archive.org
-
sometimes game designers (of all types) get despairing about this and start writing some giant tome about "here's how it works, once and for all", but that's not me. i love working in a medium where the answer to every question is "it depends".Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@hannahnicklin you're right & this is also my own experience, that tweet was kind of careless. can i QT you or do you not want the bother?Permalink Look on archive.org

@hannahnicklin that is very fairPermalink Look on archive.org

(though i should note in fairness that this is not just a property of games, this is also every medium i've tried to do something in at a serious level)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
anyway, i guess what i'm thinking about is how reading the textbook A Game Design Vocabulary really made me aware of the tightrope they successfully walked between being prescriptive & being so vague as to be uselessPermalink Look on archive.org

and also reassuring a junior game developer i worked with who was worried they were structuring a game design doc wrong - and i told them that there was a format i was using but it wasn't official, just something i made up & seemed to work. if it communicates the right things...Permalink Look on archive.org

@flexmandeville mmm, no, this was a conversation not a thing they were stuck on more broadly. but the attitude of "there is a correct way to do this, and i must follow it" versus "does this move us in the right direction, whatever i reckon that is"Permalink Look on archive.org

oh! they cancelled Hamlet!
