thats Japanese I think
and obviously they just keep on keepin on while games in the west crumble ๐
we even had to steal their subgenre of RPG just to keep them out of the game awards
maybe we'll get a new Marvel vs Capcom
summer cedar
They're just following the trends, actually.
There's more money in selling games to China and India.
More people, more money, more revenue.
The West becomes a minor market in comparison, although as a studio, I'd just take shameless advantage of both.
Rename my protagonist from Xu Wushan to Xander is a forked project.
Sell both.
Make ๐ค
pearl elk
Xu Wushan the machine
summer cedar
Calamari Hero becomes Ca Ma Ru in the Japanese version.
Just fork your projects, get AI to add some localised assets, flavour it up, release.
Now, just you wait until Africa catches up.
Then, the West will seriously become the minority market.
pearl elk
as long as its not Khmer Rouge
pearl elk
but surely you want to have some sort of artistic integrity and not just make a mashup to appeal
summer cedar
Depends on what I am aiming for.
If money, I don't care.
If I have money, that's different.
pearl elk
its pretty clear these devs are just making games they wanna make not to appeal to the west and maybe thats the issue
summer cedar
Oh, not really.
If you check the Chinese games, they are culturally tight.
You can see it in every turn and jump.
pearl elk
maybe AAA publishers are trying to hard to make everyone games which appeal no where not even in their core market
summer cedar
Well, Ubi's Assassin Creed games are a good study.
They've been making games for each market.
There's the Indian one, the Chinese one, the Egyptian one, etc. etc.

I think the issue is you need players to find some clues and working out which clues lead to which outcomes and having major blockers is problematic.

Orthogonal mechanics is very interesting.
I think you could apply it to RPGs and adventure games, too.
While the player is busy purusing a primary gameplay mechanic, additional mechanics should add to the immersion and value addition, without taking away from or making the primary mechanic more complex or frustrating.
๐ค Now, THAT explains why Ragnarok has the NPCs confirming your quest completion WELL after you have completed it.
It's better for the gamer to know that he has achieved something and the game to THEN acknowledge his achievement. Very interesting. ๐ค

They can arrest people without warrants provided 'they are likely to escape before the warrant has been issued'.
All kosher. Very fine.

Does arrest in this context mean fill them full of lead?

So far, it involves forcing open car doors, breaking windows, and forcibly arresting someone in the middle of the road.

I bet he's just pissing his pants... er, farting extra that EU and India signed a trade deal.
mild gust
He has to be front headlines
summer cedar
Lol, okay, so it has been endorsed by PM Modi. According to this brief statement, in return for 50% reduced to 18% tariff, India will spend $500 billion to buy US energy, but no mention about reducing Russian oil purchases. In fact, Russian oil purchases become cheaper like they were before, now, because 50% has become 18%.
Art of the Fart indeed.
Right, no other terms of this 'deal' have been revealed.
I bet they are exactly the same as before the tariffs.
Trump just put his name on the existing papers, refurbished. ๐
pearl elk
hey look Trump stopped another war
I only almost started 10 and I stopped 9 of them so far
summer cedar
Yeah, I've looked for details. There are none.
The MEA has also not confirmed the deal or its details.
@mild gust Could still be total crap. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Oh, I just read the Prime Minister's X post.
There's no mention of a deal.
He just says that he's glad that US has agreed to reduce tariffs to 18%. Nothing whatsoever about any agreement.

Turns out legally speaking in Spain and Europe if you create an online game with interactions
You have to store all the chats and registers for years
What put away all my desires to create anything alike xd

I think other countries have similar rules.
Online communication has to be stored for legal reasons.
Of course, how you share that with the government differs per country.

Also if some person under 18 enters, you must have an issue

That I am fine with. These days under-18s and under-30s are generally tards.

And the target it's the dev for it

That's why chatting and communications must be abolished.
No more interacting with other ugh... people.
