Stupid. Only proves Twitter is for stupid people to post on

Every Sawyer post makes me hate whatever he is doing even more

Lots of banter from Josh about making his game all of a sudden:

 

[Xeon]

He is working on a game again? I thought he switched to the PoE tabletop or something.

 

[Latro]

Sophomoric cringe.

He does his PoE tabletop as some sort of shitpost I think he even acknowledge it. As for the game I think its Project Alabama? Probably an RPG with low fantasy setting if we are to track his meetings with Vavra, his love for Battle Brothers and Darklands.

But who knows we might end with PoE 3 the eletric bogaloo

 

[Infinitron]

No, Project Missouri, his small historical RPG project. Project Alabama is Avowed. I might have to split out a thread about this.

 

[Takamori]

Speaking of which is it any closer to be completed? Almost 3 years for a small project is kinda weird

Then there is a long way I guess, thought he jumped at producting right after PoE 2 production cycle was done.

The PoE tabletop thing he seems to be doing in his off-time. He's directing a small project and we're assuming it's an historical RPG because that's what he said that he wanted to do.

Any idea of who else is involved in this project?

 

[Sannom]

Maybe Kate Dollarhyde, considering that he just posted a bit of her placeholder dialogue ?

I strongly doubt that mess posted above is part of a historical RPG project; unless it’s an idiotic isekai plot.

 

[Sannom]

It's placeholder dialogue, as in temporary.

 

[Dycedarg]

So, he's going to give a pivotal narrative role to a dangerhair tumblrina? Seems reasonable.

 

[Latro]

He shouldn’t have posted it then.

Sailor Woedica, is that your placeholder dialogue?

 

[badler]

For those interested, stubs are used to build out the general structure of the branching dialog. Every designer writes them a little differently, but the idea is that they give direction from the area designer to the narrative designer about what kind of information needs to be given to the player through the NPC interaction.

They are not supposed to be written in character. Some designers will do that anyway, but that isn't proper practice.

(read the last two paragraphs before you cry shill though)

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Sophomoric cringe.

Isn't lol the opposite of laughing to yourself?

Edit: was trying to quote Sawyers message

 

[Infinitron]

Also temporary placeholder dialogue:

 

[Roguey]

I imagine that's an ironic reference to Kojimbo.

 

[Tom Selleck]

I hate Kate Dollarhyde.
