  1. Crispy™ Brainstorming an actually good crafting system

    What's the issue with crafting? Why do you dislike it?

  2. KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Dan Vavra's medieval chad simulator

    And that way of thinking is why your game will never be good Smejki. You think you need to focus on NPC faces during conversations. You think need to have lip sync etc. But what you really need is actual gameplay and not that doll house bullshit. People would still buy the game without it...

  3. Incline How to make Skyrim combat fun

    Very good. I can't think of a single downside to that. Actually I think that is quite realistic behaviour for a retarded kid that walks around at 3 am, why would it have the common sense to call guards? Or maybe it also sneaked in to steal stuff and if it would call the guards, then it would...

  4. Incline How to make Skyrim combat fun

    How would you fix blocking then?

  5. The Greater General Codex Theory of 'What is an RPG?'

    Cmon you have a brain, you can imagine that for yourself. Also, dude, I just noticed you have like 1 gigamillion posts. No way I'm gonna waste my time discussing anything with a nolifer like you. How much shitposting do you have to do to get to that point... wtf seriously fucked up

  6. The Greater General Codex Theory of 'What is an RPG?'

    That approach is very inefficient and exclusive, because there are way more than those 6 ways to implement character development. On the other hand those 6 and any possible other measures fit perfectly into the more ecompassing category of abstract character development. Sure. That's what...

  7. The Greater General Codex Theory of 'What is an RPG?'

    Those 12 Critera are obviously written from a player point of view, so they are redundant and not very significant or precise. Just take criteria 2 through 7 for example. They all talk about the same element: having abstract displays of your characters competences and being able to improve them...

  8. Weird habits carried over games

    Who said you can't roleplay yourself in the game? Pretty sure that is what most people do. Assuming some superficial and arbitrary evil/good persona sounds like something only an autist would do.

  9. KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance Pre-Release Thread [RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    No you understood the guy wrongly. In reality you got to be fast. Then in the next sentence he says that in a game all moves need to be wide and telegraphed etc. in order for the player to have time to react. So the game will have all the things you hate. For a good reason though, as they...

  10. KickStarter Serpent in the Staglands Thread

    In my last post I wrote explicitly that not being anything godlike should be a given. Baldurs gate is the exact opposite of that. It doesn't matter when it is revealed that you are some kind of god. It shouldn't happen at all.

  11. Vapourware Codexian Game Development Thread

    Very good point. I was tending to either 3 or 4, but seeing as I already have a stamina system, yet another system would have been too much. I tried your game, but since I rarely play platformers I can hardly give you qualified feedback. It's fun shooting those guns and also quite...

  12. Rad-Ass Dungeons

    Don't get so buttmad mate. It's not my fault that you feel like having to justify yourself even though you supposedly have so much experience. Judging from your answers you don't have any serious experience at all. You even admit that you have no programming experience whatsoever, but instead...

  13. Vapourware Zodiac Legion - X-COM and dungeons

    Good answer. I see you have already thought about all this stuff. Hope you can pull it off. The free form part was just so you don't have to show a grid anymore. But I think you hit the nail on the spot with the pacing thing. The Grid style combat was great for strategy games like Age of...

  14. Rad-Ass Dungeons

    Apparently you have none. Otherwise you would know that real programmers don't spend their time arguing about the name of stuff and rather just get their work done. When you look up the credits of Dark Souls, you will find that everybody was just listed as Programmer. That is because...

  15. Vapourware Zodiac Legion - X-COM and dungeons

    I don't want to insult your work or anything, but are you really sure you want grid based combat? Sure it's fun and tactical, but only a few times. After a while it's just annoying having to fight all your battles in such a slow manner, always needing to move towards every enemy, waiting for...
