@man_standards Hey, we don't have any record of un-approved creations at all, it would have been handled long ago! Can you send a quick email to [email protected] ?
@TheReal_1FSTCAT No, I love it. But I'm self-funded and then bootstrapped to kickstarter. I might love it less if I had to twist my dev processes to appeal to funding decision-makers who don't really understand what they're looking at.
@barthon_b It suffers from the same problem, possibly to an even greater degree.
This kind of systemic dysfunction is a huge opportunity for anyone capable of solving it. https://twitter.com/direGoldfish/status/1280489715783925760If you focus on visuals before gameplay then you can pitch to publishers/platforms. They evaluate games mostly on screenshots & video. If you focus on high-quality gameplay then you will be ignored by publishers/platforms until much later in dev (when you don't need the money.)
Such a noble thrumbo https://twitter.com/senkkeiart/status/1280051477285793792some rimworld fanart i did last year. might finish the rest of the animals & make it into a poster if it's... legally allowed haha https://t.co/adbzl6CyJ6
He looks remarkably blasé considering what's about to happen. https://twitter.com/MHarmless18101/status/1279423927060578310Drop pod raid. Also TIL reddit only accepts images up to 20 mb https://t.co/KBqeSfkLOy
RT @No_Tables: "Party" What I imagine parties on our beloved hell hole looks like. I overdetailed the ever loving crap out of this so was a…
@__Columbo yes
@MusumeTheGame Looking forward to it
@Jondarawr Year 5519...
Quite an endorsement! Thanks mysterious stranger. https://twitter.com/MusumeNovel/status/1277917167246290945Most books about game design are overpriced snake oil. Designing Games by @TynanSylvester is the real deal. Read it and apply its principles to make your game better. Or don’t, and my game will just be better than yours https://t.co/CcsgwEgKvi
Things I've had to learn never to say as a game designer: -"No, nobody would ever do that..." You guys are crazy! https://twitter.com/FG_squared/status/1278057584222703616We have FINALLY completed the 100 tamed(!!!) Thrumbos challenge in #RimWorld by @TynanSylvester What an amazing ride it was! Thanks for watching me be utterly silly!! :D https://t.co/Xf9h64IbQS
@Salzstange3000 I agree the health and quality info are redundant in this case; it is something we could optimize out for an even cleaner UI.
@Salzstange3000 See, you're looking at it from a power-gamer point of view. The tradeoff here is that packing a ton of data onto every possible space on screen produces a wall of text that harms newer and casual players. It's an approach that benefits one type of player but harms others.
@buddsmodernlife Yep, I wrote a bit on the FAQ on http://ludeon.com. It's never gone on sale before. Our value-not-impulse philosophy stays the same. But I'm shifting to a phase where we'll participate in discounts at low levels.
@Salzstange3000 That said, I still seek improvements to make, it's just that it won't be as easy to find *general case* improvements as it might seem.
Love to hear about any other game to draw inspiration from though if you know one!
@Salzstange3000 Yeah, general UI complains have been coming forever, but it's harder than it looks.
When specific ideas are brought up they're almost always either bad tradeoffs, or something that benefits one player type but harms others.
At end of day, it's an inherently complex game.
@iMonix IIRC we needed to check hairstyles of pawns who spawned with hats by default.
This is ever more bizarre since the NYT's 'policy' appears to be made-up. They've done stories on various pseudonymous people over the years without doxxing them. So why must Scott be doxxed, given it will obviously ruin his life? https://twitter.com/justinkan/status/1275323991054401536.@nytimes threatens to dox @slatestarcodex. This is despicable. I've cancelled my subscription. https://t.co/2O8tp4nw3L
@AnchyMorgan12 Yep, that sounds pretty hostile and breaking. Can you please email [email protected] with links to any discussion about this?
