melkathi Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 New chaos gate looks good. Not sure I feel like paying more to get it early before the inevitable bug fixes and dlc. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

As for Vendir, the fact that it's coming out on mobile (as well as consoles and PC) doesn't automatically mean it will suck (contrary to popular belief, good mobile games do exist, they're just buried under a mountain of gacha garbage), but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Lexx Posted April 17, 2022 Posted April 17, 2022 You probably need more vitality. I started pumping it up now - want to get to at least 45 or 50 ... Based on old FS games, I stopped at vitality 30, but that's clearly not enough in Elden Ring. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Lexx Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 I'm a wee bit desperate by now, so I'll just post in here: I'm looking for a writer who would be willing to help out with some ... writing. Paid job, the content will find its way into a commercial game. Not a lot is required, some monologuing, some task texts, coming up with some ideas for story background, etc. A slight interest in northern africa / morocco and algier is preferred. Anyone around who would feel the motivation to help out? 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Chilloutman Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 looks like clone of supreme commander I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
Malcador Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 Looks like TA, one of the units is a dead ringer for the Intimidator from TA. Music sounds like someone was a big fan of Klepacki.

majestic Posted April 20, 2022 Author Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Okay, maybe not random game news, but it's kinda funny, at least when viewed through the lense of too little sleep and a tiring couple of weeks at work: I suppose it is not entirely impossible to write for a game without using any pronouns at all, but it is most likely going to be a bit of an awkward read. There are languages where the use of pronouns is fairly limited or generally ungendered (as far as I know Hungarian doesn't distinguish between third person based on gender at all, neither does Mandarin), or they are a different class/type of word than what we would understand as such (Japanese pronouns are simply nouns and behave as such and also have different meanings), and there are a handful that have no pronouns as separate words (like the Iroquoian languages, they have pronominal verb endings), but as far as I know every language we have has a way to refer to people in some form or another. Think about it, it would be really strange to have no way to do that. Languages exist to talk to other people. Even if you can leave them out because the context makes it clear and your languages allows for that, they're still implied. They (oh, snap!) of course meant the game has customizable pronouns that replace them in the text when set accordingly, a feature that does not need to be used and defaults back to regular usage when unused. Seems like a trifle to get one's panties in a bunch, but what do I know, maybe it really is possible to catch the gay from a computer game that allows you to pick the pronouns used to address your character.

Wormerine Posted April 21, 2022 Posted April 21, 2022 Finally, as lengthy development of Phoenix Point is nearing its end, the official modding support has been announced. It might be a bit too late, but PP still has a small, dedicated fanbase. I hope it will be robust enough to acommodate some neat mods.https://phoenixpoint.info/blog/2022/4/19/azathoth-update-mod-support-this-summer 2
