Obsidian General Discussion Thread

Josh shares his desktop and shows the PoE2 Confluence site in the second video at 9:00

Obviously, can't talk specifics right now, but I am not working on an Outer Worlds DLC. I provide feedback and consultation, but no dev work.

Damn Brandon, Game director with Chris Parker on new POE ?

 

[Ging_Sama]

Josh Sawyer's game - 5 person team, in preproduction and just at the end of the prototype stage, starting a new development sprint today. Sounds like it's looking good so far.

So 4 team or 5 teams at Obsi ?

I think 2 teams "Passion project" (Grounded,Sawyer IP)

2 teams "Obsidian big RPG" (CainBoyarsky and Chris Parker project with Brandon Adler/Carrie Patel as sub Game director ?)

 

[Alienman]

5 person team sounds good. Means he's probably making something he's passionate about.

Without combat though

Or at least I think that was the idea.

 

[Infinitron]

Josh shows off his current books at 26:55, 29:05 and 29:55 in the second video. I daresay these are a hint as to what his game is about.

He's been at this how long and it's still in preproduction?

 

[Murk]

Too busy streaming Darklands and giving powerpoint talks about game design to get any work done.

He tweeted out the Project Missouri notebook back in July, so nine or so months? https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.p...discussion-thread.84849/page-277#post-6223755

Doesn't seem so weird for a small personal project to need a while before it takes shape. If they have a prototype now than it won't be much longer.

 

[Got bored and left]

So is he finally doing Fuck You: Suck My Dick: Josh Sawyer Dream Game, or whatever that was called?

Apparently not. Guess he needs more than 5 devs for that he couldn't get, otherwise I don't get the logic about doing another small game but not his dream game at this point.

Well, team size notwithstanding (and I have yet to watch the whole stream), he was showing off books about Galen and Benedictine monks and whatnot, which scream the modern-day Darklands he's been pining for his entire life - so, maybe actually kinda yes? If he's doing reserach for it, that is.

Ask your boyfriend why it's taking so long

It'd be very impressive if they could make a Darklands-type game with only 5 people. Maybe they're leaning really heavily on those text adventure parts.

 

[garren]

I can't play new obsidian games anymore, everything they do is just woke shit nowadays. Ok I have slight hopes for the sawyer game but.. ah who am i kidding, it's gonna be some medieval romp with gay relationships filled with social commentary about the man keeping the poor and slaves down, while you liberate townships from the monarchy.

Replicating Darklands' scope with 5 people is probably off the table, but maybe they could go for something much smaller, evoking the late medieval/renaissance Holy Roman Empire-with-alchemy-and-demons feel? Who knows.

 

[Eirinjas]

Is Sawyer autistic? Can we call him The Good Developer?

His admission to playing Animal Crossing was fucking painful to hear. He didn't even justify it by claiming it was to catphish pedophiles.

He explicitly said he's not making his dream game several times, lastly in his latest Darklands stream.

 

[Van-d-all]

Is Sawyer autistic?

Is that even a contested statement? I thought it's pretty obvious.

It's not going to have combat.

[Wunderbar]

Nonviolent doesn't mean "no combat". Maybe you can fight your enemies with a pillow.

Pillows of eternity.

 

[Infinitron]

You probably have it backwards. What he likely means is that there's no combat system but there might still be violence.

 

[Haba]

Oh, like in a visual novel?

Hörrr hörr hörrr hörrr.

Me hard core codexer now. Röh röh.

 

[vortex]

But will there be romances and romantic violence?
