I'm not sure you're disagreeing? My interpretation is that he's stating that you can't base fundamental mathematical formalism's on mutation, you have to model them using immutable structures. You can then model mut

Hey, it looks like you're trying to do something cool and different. Awesome. May I ask that you check out some of these dead links that may be giving people a bad impression of you? On here, [0], the link to [1] is dead. Same with thi

A very long time ago, it's not quite the same thing, but if you're a big fan, you might give [0] a look, it was inspired by the game developer asking the question, what if we made a game based on the Age of Empires marketplace? -

Hmm, I initially thought you meant Omerta[0], which I've played a bit of, but did you actually City of Gangsters[1]? - [0]: https://store.steampowered.com/app/208520/Omerta__City_of_Ga... - [1]: https:/

Oh Factorio is excellent, but in my mind it's an entirely different game, for a start the whole game, even multiplayer isn't played out in the same terms. It's very much focused on logistics and production, but from the persp

I'm not going as far as currency trading. Mostly because my understanding of forex is pretty simple, so I'm not sure I can do it justice. If you have some nice ways of approaching / thinking about this, I'd love to hear

Really nice, I'm less focused on the transport question directly, instead abstracting that to a distance measure for now. I'm more interested in trying to get economic behaviours modelled in a nice way where the system responds to

Both of these sound fascinating, I'd be really interested if you manage to build this =)...

Hmm, ok, really similar to how an order book does it I think? Pretty different from my approach, so that's worth trying, thanks!

I've always been interested in deep economy games where the economy drives the gameplay to a degree. The main reason for that is in my mind it's a really easy starting point to the question, how do you provide a space where the pl

Sure, but how that translates to a price is an interesting question.

This is really cool =)... Do you mind if I dig into the code and figure out how it works? I'm really finding the market that you've got going interesting, how in-depth is it? I've got a thing[0] I've been prototyping whi

Really great use of tiles and colours to make a great looking effect :)...

Thanks and sure, I can understand that.

Scanning through it, I didn't notice anything about projections such as isometric projection and how it relates to 2d / 3d. I would have expected, perhaps incorrectly, that there may be a short mention of it and how it relates. Th

Yes, the whole thing is a bit weird and so I honestly don't know which side is credible.

Thanks for the clarification, 100% any roleplaying game is GM skill dependant. It seems like the nice thing you get here is that some people went and came up with a whole bunch of stuff that could happen which could be good fodder for &quot

Ok interesting =), so I guess what you're saying is Rolemaster does create some interesting gameplay decisions, but Hackmaster is unplayable? Is that fair? Not sure what your position is on the other questions, if you've played a

I've got to ask, does this sort of thing actually create interesting gameplay decisions? Does gameplay actually end up feeling fun in practice? Are the tables interesting themselves to lookup or is that just "the bad bit"? Do

Upvoted, this viewpoint seriously needs to become the norm, thank you for providing it.

Maybe I'm in the minority here based on the comments I can see so far, but I really do value good comments on a blog when they come up. I do sympathise with writers who don't want to deal with moderating it, working out how to man

Perhaps, but doesn't choosing not to do so also increase the likelihood that you will be less effective about figuring out what a better solution looks like that is minimally disruptive to production? I mean if you're skilled enou

I feel like there's a world of difference between paying a buck for an app and paying for something like this, you could argue that the value delivered is so high the fee would be out of the ballpark for most to be able to pay. But the

This is pretty interesting, would libraries even be interested in maintaining a search index? That's like a return to yahoo directory / search index. Or were you imagining something different?

As much as I subscribe to this perspective, when I think about how much money must be flowing through these ecosystems, I wonder if that's the real price point? I mean theoretically how much would you be willing to pay for search that
