    You'd better you follow the money. Since CP2077 any flat shit with 3 men and 2 horses onscreen will never satistfy anybody. Than mean higher production or marketing budget for upcoming games. This is the reason of trashing CP2077, otherwise it would be saved as usual. CP2077 has tried to feed us...
  4. Community RPG Codex 2020 GOTY - VOTE NOW!

    This is why people vote with 4/4 for Wastland 3 and 1/4 for the rest of games need to be trashed. Your approach still not reveal real feel about Wasteland 3. Ironicaly, you call straight forward exploiters of your approach as trolls. More sopisticated trashers go under your radar.
  5. Interview Vault Dweller interviewed about The New World at Indiegraze

    No one RPG delivers or will deliver in near future realistic motivation of game agents. All motivations, starting from what to eat today and ending with whom to pray, are object of environment. If the game has money or its equivalent then motivations are object of economy, the weakest, most...

    It is well known Estonian issue. Procedural without procedural generation, furies witout furries, fascist thoughts without fascist regime as context. You should try to cross Estonian border on Audi Quattro with five men inside the car. Only then you'll get the idea what this game is about.

    Just make a poll about initial launch and nonsense of mutiny-proof of several centuries journey of thousands of people, kind of should generation colony ship be first of all designed as a colony, a permanent settlement where thousands of people going live for centuries or as not a colony, but a...

    Thank you, VD. That it is, what I had to get from your from very beginning. I am sorry, but indeed, I did not expect that futuristic Colony ship designed for centuries long journey of thousands of people would be templated from Mayflower. Now I am have clear understanding why do you need to...
  11. Game News Colony Ship RPG Update #1: Setting, Character System

    It is not about mutiny-proof anymore. Do not reduce it for that point only. It about big picture design of Generation ship, a place where thousands of people going live for centuries, uses as template two months journey of four hundred years old cargo vessel.
  12. Game News Colony Ship RPG Update #1: Setting, Character System

    It is mechanical copy pasting. And it is wrong. Again: Colony ship is a colony, it is already colonists' destination for hundreds of years, it serves all the time as a colony too, not just transport. Mayflower was not a colony, it was not colonists' destination, it not served as a colony, but...

    Yes, and what is the level of colonists' suffering? They are not fed enough like in N.Korea? Jailed like in Pakistan? Executed like in Saudi Arabia? Is there Gulag on Colony Ship? I gave you all my examples to show you that not all discontent ends up with mutiny and revolutions. There is not...

    It is the same, and I will show how it is the same, but you need to stop talking with slogans and get out of Earth-centric thinking, since you are doing Colony Ship game. Slogans "you're free to do whatever you want, build whatever you want, live the way you want" hide away that you already...
  15. Game News Colony Ship RPG Update #1: Setting, Character System

    Problems a-la "didn't ask for it" and "less excited about being stuck" are artificially exaggerated. These problems are already exist on another colony ship, which we mistakenly call the planet Earth. Nobody on the Earth "did ask" or "free to escape". Therefore, some minority constantly commit...
