Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

[Saint_Proverbius]

Anyway, not sure what we are currently complaining about. Just feels like talking about the false comparison.

The point of that thumbnail is to show that they made Lucy look like a vault dweller sprite from the original game. Then you look at everyone else they cast to be a vault dweller in Vault 33, and you realize that almost none of the rest of them look like the vault dweller sprites from Fallout. It comes off more of a coincidence than something they actively attempted to do. One out of several dozens looks like a sprite from the original game.

I talk about the pros and cons of being a contractor, as opposed to an employee, while doing game development work.

Tim confirming that he doesn't have much influence on the direction of The Outer Worlds 2. It's all on Adler (and his bosses).

Redeemed. My favorite RPG developer once again!

Modern gaming in a nutshell: the best thing you can say about a developer is what he wasn't involved in.

 

[PunchYouInTheFace]

Is that actually roleplaying though? Seems more like some kind of challenge mode.

It is.

You're supposed to invent your character's character, not building a character.

RPG should focuses on delivering RPG experience not +1 bonus optimizing build perks simulator.

Carrie, Adler and Benecke. Everyone is stepping up to the bigger role.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about tropes that I like to use, or more specifically, how I like to use them.

 

[Roguey]

Fallout easter eggs in other games


Since he doesn't include it in the list, apparently Tim has never played Weird West.

Understandable given that the combat style likely isn't his thing and you can't make your own characters.

 

[Infinitron]

I go into detail about the "horizontal slice" stage of game development, and how it can be used to make estimates for main and side quest lengths and locations.

 

[Roguey]

Tim takes the opposite approach Larian does (at least as far as the D:OS series goes) where they make doing every sidequest mandatory so you meet the level requirements of the main quest.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about using game mechanics to support and reinforce the stories you are telling in your games.

 

[__scribbles__]

I talk about how games should be thought of in terms of player actions and not as just scenes (as in movies) or lines (as in books).

 

[BlackAdderBG]

I discovered one of my new favorite channels on YouTube, and I had to share it.

Not leveling in any other skill except the one you want is making the game easier, because of the level scaling. larping is defiantly not haw you roleplay

 

[Infinitron]

I discuss Shopping Cart Theory, and how this simple philosophical test can inform how you create motivations for NPCs in your games or how you reward players for quests.

 

[Roguey]

Tim doesn't bring up the people who put the carts back in a lazy haphazard way, creating a real snarl that makes it both difficult to put your own cart in and an utter mess for the employee to sort out later.

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about my favorite chocolate bar and my favorite brands of chocolate.

 

[Yoomazir]

Next video will be about his favorite buttplug and favorite brands of dildos.

 

[Sweeper]

at least Underrail was explicitly mentioned (+1 Rep with normie)

I wish you guys would timestamp what you're referring to, I can't stand the droning of women and homosexual Californian men (it's @6:33 btw).
He mentioned the oddity easter egg... and then proceeded to say nothing about the game.
Did you even play it Tim? DID YA?

In a previous video he said "If I have to go online to figure out how to spend my level up point or I have to use a spreadsheet to figure it out at that point I'm usually like 'I'm done,'" which describes Underrail.

 

[Sweeper]

"If I have to go online to figure out how to spend my level up point or I have to use a spreadsheet to figure it out at that point I'm usually like 'I'm done,'"

Imagine my shock.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Oh god not the triangles again. Though I kinda liked the system they ended up with in TOW, they've managed to streamline character creation without losing depth. No triangles were neccessary.

 

[Tyranicon]

Not sure if I should be taking this thread seriously anymore.

I mean, I don't. But not sure if I should.

 

[Sweeper]

he's shifty like that!

 

[Old Hans]

"If I have to go online to figure out how to spend my level up point or I have to use a spreadsheet to figure it out at that point I'm usually like 'I'm done,'"

Imagine my shock.

no numbers, no points, no fun
