I was about 2 decades later, but I bonded over games like Pokemon and later made many friendships in minecraft. Wish I could revisit that time. I think it’s less about any particular era in gaming - it’s about being young. Kids are still forging friendships over video games today - just different ones (although, at least in the case of my nephew, Minecraft is still one of them :D).
I played an earlier version of Baldur’s Gate 3 and encountered a bug where I couldn’t for the life of me figure out a way to progress without killing Karlach. I stopped playing that save-file, because I didn’t want to kill her. Now I’m going to revisit it after the big update from awhile back.
The first level of MegaMan x and good springs in fallout: New Vegas are really good examples of how to convey info to the player about how the game works and what you can do without pulling you out of the game itself into a separate tutorial
cyberpunk was nice. It had both an optional that really specifically laid things out and then in addition the first gig more casually does it. I seem to recall harry potter being so integrated that I can't remember it. I find a lot of games just sorta give popups that you can say stop to and then it basically just starts simple so you can learn the stuff without it seeming much like a tutorial. skyrim is sorta annoying in that its unskippable and you can't do a save before locking in a race that is after it like you could with oblivioun. So they went a bit backwards. Elden rings was completely skippable but it was also just pants. The tutorial is crazy easy compared to most games and does not prepare you at all for the brutal real game. Baldurs gate was unskippable but its pretty fast and did not really feel aweful to redo as its much like any quest in the game.
Przypominam, że wdółgłosowanie wpisów z powodu „nie podoba mi się“ działa ujemnie na możliwość dyskusji. Jeśli coś łamie regulamin to zgłaszajmy to modom, ale jeśli nie, to nie zakopujmy możliwości rozmowy. Nie róbmy bańki informacyjnej.
Nie wdółgłosuję Twojego posta, choć się z nim nie zgadzam. Ale wobec trolli i wrogów politycznych (KJ jest takim wrogiem, zmyślnym i niebezpiecznym) będę używał wszystkich możliwych środków, aby ich zdeplatformować.
Absolutely baffling that this isn’t free. I watched RTGame play it on YouTube and can’t imagine how ripped off I’d feel if I paid cash money for it. I had 1 2 Switch with my switch at launch and was instantly bored by it, but at least it was actually a game.
I’m a discord hater and low key refuse to join more servers as I try to convince my communities to move to different platforms. Would love to test on Linux for you though. Happy to provide feedback back here or something.
The screenshot is giving a bit of fallout 1 + 2 vibes, which I love.
Fair enough, what kind of communities that would offer a similar hub as discord would you convince others on? I can try relaying back here as I’d appreciate having you testing but it’s not ideal I reckon for the purpose.
Matrix, and there’s a P2P one that just went around called PeerSuite? Both are far from perfect, but at least aren’t yucky corpo platforms. Sorry to come across so harsh in the initial comment, the tone in my head was light hearted I promise lol. More of a “I’m happy to help figure out an alternative communication stream in order to make me a useful tester.” Might be worth making your game a Mastodon account to direct people to from the Steam page? Could be a good spot to encourage people to learn about the fediverse and provide a channel for updates and a message system for testers? Idk. Discord is somewhat unique still in the type of organizational tools it provides, hence the love-hate relationship I have with it lol
Not harsh at all, I deleted all my social platforms about 5 years ago and so I have like zero presence anywhere, it has been amazing for me personally. But it means I’m totally out of the loop and in a poor position to grass roots market this 😂.
I’ll check out those platforms thanks for the rundown. In the meantime if you still want to keep in the loop I don’t mind updating you in DM, Id rather have 1 genuinely interested person with good feedback than a million silent followers!
