Horror
chrome gull
Dead Space is a horror game with almost 0 horror, so you never know!
Prey is an immersive sim with more horror than it needed.
proud jay
wth
Dead space 2 was pretty horror at least
idk about 1
but I was on the verge of crying in 2
chrome gull
The Dead Space Remake was remarkably un-scary when I played it
I wanted to get started with horror games and that was supposed to be my entry into the genre
it was not scary so I put the thought on hold
chrome gull
idk about 1
original or remake?
chrome gull
Have you published a game yet, Slightly?
put shit on itch, yes
chrome gull
If so, link please. 😄
noooooooooo
yeah, I get it, horror's not an easy genre to accomplish something in
woven wing
I don't mind horror, like creepy atmosphere, unnerving feelings and stuff
chrome gull
weirdly though, sound design helps a LOT
proud jay
original or remake?
I only played 2
woven wing
But flashing a scary picture and playing a loud noise is so 2004 maze game
chrome gull
there's this side quest in Fallout 4 that makes you go to a "Museum of Witchcraft" and the inside is scary as fuck
with Deathclaws stomping and roaring
screams
chrome gull
the other Deathclaw encounters weren't as scary as this one so I spent some time figuring out why this one was different
so, if I were ever to make a horror game, I would rely on sound design A LOT
Dead Space initially has an absolutely unnerving atmosphere
it all shatters the moment the "Terrormorphs" are introduced
Terror, my ass
woven wing
Add in a muffled door knocking sound once randomly during the game
chrome gull
Dead Space initially has an absolutely unnerving atmosphere
It was so unsettling I didn't even want to enter the Ishimura
By the time I came out of it, I was just hunting down and taunting the poor things
you could try something with it
dim (NOT dark) lighting and a minimal soundscape
that'd be a good start
proud jay
that's cool

Was setting up my new tablet and pulled up the website for something, and if you don't interact with the site for a while, it full screens to a sculpt
Ofc it was some hideous monster

I get jumpscared by companions in any game that has them
I walk out of a door and turn around to see those fuckers a micrometer away from my face

well that reminds me blue man this was on old gods of asgard https://fxtwitter.com/oldgodsofasgard/status/1752328563116658835
chrome gull
one thing I am LOVING about quest design is how easy it is to offer "choices" to the player
it could simply be binary - do this or that
or it could follow some sort of "triangle"
for example, the speed, cost and quality triangle
one aspect must be sacrificed so that the aspects shine
just wanted to drop this little bit of knowledge for you guys :))

Which game do you think would be harder to do between these 2 :
- Coop multiplayer game like the series "We were here" where you have to solve puzzles together. The game has around 10 puzzle levels.
- Multiplayer game (+/- 16 players) being a mix of Among Us and the classical board game "Werwolves of Millers hollow" but in 3D where you have killers that need to kill innocent people and innocent people have to escape from the killers and kill them. each person has a role giving him abilities.

Let me know how it plays, i might get it later
empty dune
I was thinking of attacking a city-state
Don't do that. Not unless you're playing as one of the few leaders who's whole game is based around city states conquering.
City states are valuable sources of bonuses and luxury resources. Try to be suzerain of them, only attack a city state if you absolutely must because it's feeding a very dangerous enemy. Even then, try to get it by diplomacy first
Also, if you ever see a city state under attack, if you can, defend it. Not only will you get to chop down some of your rival's units, the city state will also help you to kill them
Good way to get an edge in early era wars
proud jay

how do you do that?
so you're saying I should only attack barbarians and other "players"?
empty dune
how do you do that?
You gain suzerainty by sending envoys to that city state. Envoys can be gained at a passive rate or by completing "quests" that the city states offer you. Highest number of envoy wins you that city state's suzerainty
proud jay
how many do you need?
cause I have one with 3 envoys
there's a lot not explained to me it seems
empty dune
so you're saying I should only attack barbarians and other "players"?
It depends on your leader's strengths. You typically want to focus on other players but there are some leaders who benefit a lot more by conquering city states. Idk if the viking dude is one of them. Also vanilla base game barbarians? Kill them. Clan mode barbarians however are more interesting, sometimes using their abilities benefit you more than killing them
empty dune
there's a lot not explained to me it seems
4X games usually have really shit tutorials
empty dune
how many do you need?
I think the the thresholds are 2,4 and 6. 6 gets you highest bonuses. Raw highest number of envoys are needed for suzerainty though. So if a rival sends 15 envoys to one state, you need 16 to win it back
With 16 times the frustration?
proud jay
I think the the thresholds are 2,4 and 6. 6 gets you highest bonuses. Raw highes...
can you see how many the others sent?
I feel like I don't know shit
and the only real win condition they explained is the conquering one
and they didn't even give proper combat tutorial imo
like idk how to conquer shit
or if it's possible to group units or some shit
it's hard to attack a city with multiple units if you only have so many tiles around it
I tried shitting on the palace doorstep, but didn't seem to work
yes, CIV 6
but you can still escort builders
and you can group with a commander
or special person or whatever they call it
empty dune
or if it's possible to group units or some shit
That's a tech you unlock later in the game, its called combined arms or something like that
empty dune
can you see how many the others sent?
I don't remember but you can definitely see how many the highest number is
proud jay
also idk how you see the envoys unless you have a new one to send lol
so many menus
and can't even scale the ui on my resolution
empty dune
also idk how you see the envoys unless you have a new one to send lol
Mouse over the icons of everyone who sent an envoy there
I think there you can see it
proud jay
I was so confused when they said you can see your population next to your city name
cause the icon is not there at all
just a number
I'm still confused tbh
maybe I should watch a "Learn civ 6 in 10 hours" video

it's been standing there in the garage for over a week and a half
how hard is it to send some papers over
median wraith

the new BMW onboard computer runs as bad as my Renault one, how cool

"Hyundai Ioniq 5 N", did you get the N version ?
median wraith
you don't need 650CV ?
damm, just why
seems like your car have more rear space than mine
proud jay
well I don't have it so
median wraith
idk how this car can have so much space, feels impossible by design
proud jay
maybe you're still winning for the moment

I wish at times
yeah your car is bigger in all dimensions, feels like a mini tank
proud jay
it really is
median wraith
proud jay
I was surprised the first time I saw one irl
proud jay
on pics it looks like as big as my current audi A3
but then you drive next to one
and the ioniq is like a beast
median wraith
yeah in the pics feels like a brother of a Clio or something
and is sold as a city car but
I also expected to be like this one
but somehow this car is even smaller than mine
seems like a nice car you got there
proud jay
again, I don't have it 😔

well, at least this month you should
maybe if you get it the final day of the month

@proud jay you have to tell me once you get it if all doors, and mirrors edges are perfectly aligned and symmetric between sides
proud jay
why lol
median wraith
usually I listed that when aren't they it's because the car had a crash or something
my car never was symmetric on the endings for some reason
between sides

I don't think most cars from the garage had a crash

ok so brazil declared war on me
and now they are offering me peace lol
I'm gonna accept it, surround them and then destroy them
at least I took one of his cities before getting peace

this seems like a very american thing to me tbh
I still get spammed by recruiters on the regular
median wraith
so we can finally make a farm?

The hire + lay-off cycle seems to be american generally imo
at least where i am it's very difficult to fire employees so companies tend to be more conservative when hiring in the first place

The only thing that will happen with this AI change, we will have a serious massive population problem in regards to jobs and income.
Billions of people will become jobless and homeless
it will be a massive unfixable crisis that will throw us back decades

damn, so they declare war on me, I take a city of theirs, then they offer peace, and now they denounce me cause I occupy the city

I just completed my first learning project in UE 5. 😄 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdHqNinaoYI
That was fun. The biggest PITA was when the engine decided to delete the keyboard control entries in the data asset context. For some weird reason, it retained only the sideways movement keys. So, I tested the project sashaying for awhile, until I figured out the problem and re-entered the keyboard control entries. 🤣
I've got to say, I am impressed with how UE 5 makes so many things accessible. The tooltips are great and I never felt overwhelmed at any point. Even searching through the sample projects to learn how various things functioned, was actually a fun, though lengthy effort.

Dyson Sphere Program is a game
Granted those screenshots look better than the trailer
proud jay
so do you make vacuums?
so in my civ6 game I somehow have the highest military score, but at the same time a lot of ai's are like ages ahead of me and have guns and shit and they absolutely destroy me
and france is just taking over the world with their faith and tourism
summer cedar
your previous game screenshots
Yeah. This is Dyson Sphere Programme.
If you have played Factrio or Satisfactory, it's basically that but about building a massive Dyson Sphere - eventually - and fighting off the errant AI forces that humanity launched into space a long time ago.

There are lasers and bullets.

you are in the hightway, then the car reads a sign of some random sub road passing close to the highway and then the car tells you to change your velocity to 30KMs @proud jay

both work
I think people appreciate multiple different endings
but if well designed, no one will know until they play second time
median wraith
I do like a single ending because I used to share with friends the opinion etc
proud jay
as I said I think most people would like different ones, but you have to decide whether it's worth your investment
chrome gull
like say you are investigating a murder and are following different branches - should all branches lead to the same ~~killer ~~ suspect or should each one lead to a different suspect?
proud jay
well if you want the killer you would go to the killer

Second one sounds more fun. Heavy rain did it
proud jay
but you could e.g. have it branch off to a different suspect that you lock up and later discover it was the wrong one
median wraith
the killer usually split it on different parts, for sure
proud jay
even better if the indication that you chose the wrong one is subtle
then only some people will be know
and be devastated by it
chrome gull
I do like a single ending because I used to share with friends the opinion etc

nope, your character is a blank slate living in a city and needs to eat and drink, which costs money
the game's goal is simple, really, earn money
