whoops sorry my bad xd haven't read the forum rules yet.

Space pirates and zombies? I still need to finish playing the first one!

"Slaughter Save" "Before The Hardest Boss" "Cry"

my favourite is "this is actually boring and i'm not gonna play ur game anymore" as though the dev can hear me roasting them, but the save files never have enough characters for it so i just write something stupid like "noobgame" instead

Lol. You sound like me.

relatable

Lol. Someone told me this morning "Hey, you probably are still sleeping, but..."
And I was on my way home from a night shift. I'd told him I'd have a night shift.

I once had an error message which just said "error". I had the option to click "ok". No way to "cancel" that error at all.

Hahah, good old SNAFU - situation normal, all forked up.

I like Itch~

Put the download on itch. Link to it on the forum. No que los es dos?

I like the URL we get for itch, but I like the page tools on RMN too. It's a hard choice!

In some games, you barely notice the soundtrack since it complements the game perfectly. In other games, you stop playing just to listen to the music. Two different philosophy, two different ways to design, two different ways to compress (or not) your soundtrack.

One could argue that you can put the lower quality bgm in the game because you hardly notice the difference and sell the high quality separately for more income i.e, if they managed to hack your game, they will not get the high quality music

@TheoAllen Lol that's a clever argument. But honestly, it mostly depends on your samples. There's no real quality loss by compressing midi files, but if you use super HD pro orchestra recorded (with multiple mic positions) samples, you'll notice the difference.

And features AA-ZZ.

Do not go past the mark you aimed for. In victory, know when to stop.

It's easier to say than to be done

Quickest way to get me to leave a Tumblr forever is with autoplaying music. That or any news site that does that with their videos.

Is this why they got rid of myspace?

http://whitewatt.com/majestictrash/ USE MOZILLA FIREFOX OTHERWISE IT'S LIKE WATCHING A 3D MOVIE WITHOUT 3D GLASSES

I knew you were joking but I'm a big softy and I was worried that Mystic Enigma wouldn't. Sorry for ruining the fun.

Believe me, if he did take it seriously, it would've at least escalated into a small-scale conflict. Since he did not say a word to me, I think it's safe to say he did not But there's no need to apologize as nothing bad happened

In the worst case we have r/woooosh for cases when jokes fly over your head, which usually explains any misunderstandings arising from this quite sufficiently. At least on youtube. Not sure how many people here watch reddit

Because some people like to eat popcorn while watching a movie. No one tells you to eat popcorn. You can eat satay while watching a movie if you want too.

Chips / crackers is also a choice, but it make noises. Also tradition.

Personally I like a good soul or two, but to each his own.

I can't imagine that a skip boss battle button would be much different. It feels like a way to excuse a poor boss design and people who might have enjoyed the battle are going to default to skipping it because they can.

Persona 5 safe difficulty makes it so you can simply revive with full HP and continue as if nothing happened when you get defeated. That mechanic can even be abused to get otherwise difficult trophies on PS (like beating the Reaper).

If Easy Mode is Heresy, then difficulty must be a Religion!! Honestly, I don't think of too much in game design like a religious dogma that must be followed, but rather a set of guidelines that are all contextual.

Ofc, the video LP is always the greatest feedback ever. Although I won't force em to send one since technically it's still around 20% of the overall progress.

What if I told you, I am one of the testers?

Also, based on what I've found over the course of tests, I admit some parts of theo's game would give some players a hard time. Readjusting difficulty may help; giving "easy mode" option is also a choice, but then again, I can feel the game itself is built with challenges in consideration, so that may defeat the initial purpose of the already implemented game design.

Why "git gud"? Because I also had that experience as well when finishing the game for the first time. Maybe it's only me, but, yeah.

And...that was the standard until the scale inflated in the later part of the 90's to what we got now.

Seems like 1-10 is too many numbers. Only really need 4. Bad, Average, Good and Great.

You don't want average for entertainment. Who even looks for something average to spend their money and free time on?

lol. IRL if people do april fools jokes after mid day on the 1st, the fool is the original "fooler". Well, that's what I was brought up to believe anyway.

I hear you @TheoAllen
April fools joke all over the place when it's actually April 2nd. I guess I just got used to it and don't believe any weird stuff anymore no matter the date. lol

Didn't you hear? The day has been moved to April 2nd.

I enjoyed it, but later play where you have to assign quadrants and it gets more into macro managing I started to loose interest. I'd need to relearn how to play it again.

Macro management is expected in any 4x game so I'm used to it lol.

I feel the same way that @Tai_MT does (and I love the way he parodied it). I don't ignore it, though. I use it as a tool to figure out which games I'm interested in. When a game is so starved of features that its designer feels the need to list "Engaging Story" to pad out the list, that's usually a sign that it's a good idea for me to take a Pass on it.

Personally, I like a Feature's List to actually tell me the features of the game. What kind of battle system is it? Does it do anything "out of the ordinary"? What kind of crafting? Grid based? Combine two items in a recipe based? Obtain crafting materials through exploration or combat? What are the main things the player will be engaging with? Brief synopsis of how that works.

For me, it is sort of frustrating when I want to play a specific kind of game, and can't find it, 'cause everyone is too generic. Run a search for "FPS RPG". You'll run across pretty much everything EXCEPT a first person shooter where you gain stats, have skills, and level up. Sometimes, I want an RPG that has a "skill tree". Think you can search for that? NOPE!
