Everything now is Duke Nukem Forever I know my pet project is taking a while, because it’s a spare time thing made by 4 raccoons in a trenchcoat and many-many hats. What’s the industry‘s excuse?

Makkon’s skills, work and its impact on the Quake community alone is impossible to overstate. So great to see a commercial release of these textures!

There's tension within the dev process: novelty + variety vs scope + affordability of production That's why some of my favorite games are imsims which are NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT to make But there's also dialectic tension within game design itself - focus vs possibility and where to put attention

280

But as a player (and creator) I value the momentum in pacing a lot more

1110

Whether these are repetitive random encounters, diablo-like grind, demanding boss-battle difficulty spikes or roguelike loops - I keep asking “why is it here?”, “to what end?“ and “what’s next?” Not being dismissive of any of these mechanics btw, bc I have enjoyed games that feature them

180

It’s always fascinating to see how strongly different values manifest for different kinds of players One could say that whole genres exist to service particular values For example - for me novelty and variety are incredibly important. So repeating chunks of the game tends to be a big ask.

I’m more of a sporadic Hydrocity theme rememberer

Nice, thanks for the info! Will look into it

Kaileena was literally Monica Bellucci - they knew what they were doing :D

The soundtrack was SO GOOD But I think the tolerance for backtracking depends on how you feel about metroidvanias in general IMO the recent PoP: The Lost Crown for me was a proper implementation of many of WW's ideas

Right? SoT established a really high bar for action adventure genre for me I even have a bit of a soft spot for Warrior Within, with all its downsides
