Thanks so much for making me aware of this. This is everything I wanted Pantheon to be.. Been an EQ player since it started and this is definitely hitting just right.

I saw someone on here ask if they could join an in-progress indie dev project because they can "AI code".

Looks great 😃 Just out of curiosity, did all the styles have to be modeled with the hat placement in mind?

That's right, Bandit A. Have you not read the Big Book of RPG Tropes? You were doomed from the start! 📺: Slayers, PC-98, 1994.

One of the great blessings of having a game with a narrative and original characters is you can lean much more on the art you've created for a sense of value. It's much harder for comparison to be the thief of joy if you look at it that way. Anyway, I'm looking forward to playing Geargrit!

And it wouldn't exist if anyone else made it because then it wouldn't be <that>. No matter what mechanics or level of polish another game has, it doesn't have your characters or story. And what I've seen is really great! I may be slightly biased as a fellow goblin-enjoyer, but still.

It's more that I'm inspired. I genuinely think you're going to have a lot of success and am looking forward to playing your game. I know it's difficult not to compare your work with everything else that exists in the universe, but you're creating something that doesn't exist anywhere else..

You're definitely not alone in those feelings. If it makes you feel any better, I've been watching your game for some time and I've been super impressed with your ability to keep making substantial progress for so long, your design decisions, how good everything looks. I could say I feel envy but..

I remember the box art but I don't think I'd ever seen gameplay. This looks amazing! Also, that era of graphics tech is so unique and charming. Love it

100% agree. My day job is a lot of very dry coding of backend and fullstack business apps in multiple languages.. Hopping into Unreal and building things with Blueprints has the same outcome - I get working code - but it's *so fun* to me! I don't get that same feeling from sitting in VS all day.

Blood. The Phantasm aesthetic and deep-fried sound effects made it especially scurry. I had a hard time playing that one for long because it's pretty much all tension, no release.

You also lose some of the magic of the creative process. So much gorgeous game art has come from concept artist designs, especially at AAA studios. It'd be really sad to think that they no longer find that necessary.

Pretending that our influences don't exist and that we *aren't* influenced by them seems disingenuous to me. Comparing against other games is just shorthand for big groups of concepts. If it's good enough for an elevator pitch.. right?

France is the size of one of our states, they have methods of replacing their government that we don't have, they don't have our population, they have worker protections, they don't have militarized police that routinely murder citizens and non-citizens alike.. I could go on all day.

I keep seeing people say "just do it" over and over again as if they'd have any more power or will to make it happen in the same situation. These circumstances are unprecedented. If the E.U. were tyrannical I'd like to see them get half the people to fix it while fighting the other half.

I think I go both directions with it. Sometimes I check them out because I want to make sure I'm not copying what they're doing, but maybe that's a bit of a trap. Whether it's mechanics or aesthetics, it's hard to not have the same influences other people have. I stopped worrying about it.

"It shows the disconnect between the indie games community and the technology industry at large." Yes. Good. Some of us are more interested in making art than being a sloperator for money.

They've really soured their brand. I'd be really surprised if many people wanted to continue to invest in that ecosystem in the future, especially not at double the price.

this is one of the secret superbenefits of great tooling -- it's already done for sequels/followups/DLC/etc! and then you can make it even better on future iterations and focus more time on iterating the game. it's a way to build dev momentum beyond your first release if you're lucky to survive it

That's a good point. Really though, after looking at the alternatives.. This and Revolt seem like the only truly viable options to me. AI slop is so ubiquitous now I'm more concerned about how it's being used than whether it's used at all. I do not like it, though.. No question haha.

Hope y'all get a big signal boost today! Idk if you *want* a deluge of people all at once - suffering from success is a thing - but with Discord ending themselves that might happen. I didn't find you in any searches for Discord alternatives, even AI summaries. SEO probably needs some love.
