Hey, I found the SLD/Lewica types the most reasonable compared to the rest of the bunch. Not that it's saying much. But I'm worried that Biedron's "true colors" are going to be SJW derangement.
The gibs are good, so why not?
So, the Cyberpunk thread is discussing Polish money and economics, and the Disco thread is discussing Polish politics. Got it.

Havent you heard that Kojkos took over codex?

A necessary development to keep the slavic culture of the codex alive after the BG 3 thread has stopped talking about the socioeconomics of the Hungarians.
Linked in the Colony Ship thread. Wanted to comment on that without derailing.
Writing and UI literally inspired by twitter is kind of a meme. Seems like this is the origin? Funny that there was truth to that.
Fascinating that the Klaasje dialogue had so much work behind it. Worked really well on my PSY/INT build, all my blue stats wanted her free and all my purple stats (with suggestion being a traitor) wanted her jailed if I remember correctly. Was a funny dynamic.
Your designer/writer seems like a cool guy, and I gotta say all that Ui design paid off. The UI never got in my way and looked stylish in the final product.
If your goal was to innovate you absolutely nailed it, Disco was the most innovative rpg I have played since the FFXII gambit system in 2006 from the top of my head.

What is the meme exactly? Looking for an efficient way to deliver written information in attention keeping way doesn't seem funny to me. It is pretty interesting study of the modern day human nature.

I think the meme is that something that's usually used for short-form communication has enabled people to participate in playing a game that's basically all about reading text for hours on end.
There is text and there is text. Not all is as fun to read as Disco Elysium.
UI was WIP throughout the whole game development process, because we were constantly iterating on it. Tweaking the animations or swapping art.
The dialogue layout as such - text scrolling vertically - was actually one of the earliest decisions. We knew that there’s going to be a shit ton of reading to do and the good ol’ Infinity Engine crpg era horizontal slab smack in the middle had multiple issues. Still, it’s a sort of gold standard and most recent role playing games still hark back to that.
We looked at different games and how they’d solved this and the (at the time) new Shadowrun had used the vertical menu and that showed the most promise. If you’ve played TToN then you might remember that while they went old school with the main dialogue menu, the MereCaster adventures were also presented as a vertical column. Same with the PoE text adventures. But with those approaches it’s a whole new menu with brand new art that, even when beautifully executed (PoE White March is my favourite of these two) it takes the players out of the top-down isometric view and aesthetic.
Anyway, choosing the vertical column is not where the work ended: the writers did great work figuring out the right rhythm and word count (hello, Twitter!) for delivering dialogues or thoughts or descriptions in the best way possible.
Getting the menu animations and delays right was an endless process all on its own plagued with various technical challenges and some dead ends.
The end result is the sum of multiple inspirations and a shit ton of experimenting all on its own.

Kasparov, did I correctly read that you were considering having a pregnant woman as the protagonist in your next game, or was I just drunk and imagined it? If so, how is that going to work? Sounds like an idea that could be either great or pretty damn awful.

I forget exactly, is there a Latin America equivalent in the DE lore? Might be cool seeing a preggo running around the favelas and shit.

You should make your ANTAGONIST the preggo woman. That way your final choice could be to kill the evil bitch but also take an innocent life, or let her live knowing she'll keep doing evil shit.
I think TLOUptII milked the shiiiit out of that one
A binary choice like that doesn’t sound comprehensive enough and definitely not very interesting.
