Seeing that the OP is a new account and the kickstarter has only one backer yet, I'll take a guess and say you are the game's creator. Is this correct? If so, I'd like to know the reasoning for the multiple control schemes, s

Webms have sound. 4chan allow webms as long as they are soundless and are, at most, 2 MB. It works as a replacement to gifs.

While I agree with the author's notian that "some games need balance others don't"[1] I disagree with the premise. The author says that roleplaying games don't need balance because they are about telling stories, an

Yeah, I was thinking about the time restrictions. A degree is 5 years in my country. I can see this being useful to students in the 3rd or 4th year, so one year is not enough. And being a student, I doubt they would start paying for those

Hi, I'm the submitter of this story (but I am not the author). This article talks about the controversy the has been talked about (and sometimes silenced) in the internet for the past week and a half. It is a long read and it is clear

This. It is my guilty pleasure. There's no other place in the web where I've wasted as much time time and, at the same time, learned so much.

That's the problem I have with C++. It is a mish-mash of paradigms, features and techniques. It is not consistent in use-cases and philosophy (unless you count "all and everything" as use cases and philosophy). As much as I t

Thanks. I've been reading about FRP, and I think games or GUI centric applications are a great use-case for it.

There is a lot of crossing between Fantasy and Sci-fi in the early stories. The John Carter of Mars stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs have some weird technology with sword and sorcery tropes, IIRC. The Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey t

I also think that. The problem is that most people focus on the "meaning", "emotion", "philosofical" aspect when making these "art games". That mostly involves the game's story and narrative, and

I think because it's the simplest way to represent conflict. There are many types of conflict, but punching someone in the face is an obvious one. Economic, emotional, verbal conflict, for example, are hard to represent. The outcome ma

IMO the Coin is a tricky thing. While you can argue that it balances the two player, the second player has the additional choice of when to use the Coin. The first player has the advantage of going first. That is a given advantage, with no

I don't like the idea of gamification. At least the "do stuff -> get points" kind of gamification. I find that it makes people do the right thing for the wrong reasons. I should work hard because it's what I'm su

That Avast post-mortem made me smile. I think they did a great job, not only explaining in clear language what happened, how users can help with reporting similar cases, and the final shout-out to TextSecure is the cherry on top. On the oth

I was just going to recomment that! I've been listening to those soundtracks lately, and It's awesome how different they are from each other. SoR1 has a 80's vibe and is the most "normal". SOR2 is arguably the best,

OP here. While I understand that downgrades from trailers and promotional material is normal (and I can understand why it happens), in this case the effects don't appear to be unstable. In fact, some users report better performance wit

Well, UX depends greatly in the kind of game you are making. I consider the term "RPG" as a super genre (super class). In it you have WRPG's, JRPG's, Action RPG's dungeon cralwers, MMO's, etc. Depending on the

That is a great list! I think the "can be played for fun" is really important. One of the big problems with "edutainment" is that they focus too much in the educative focus and not enought in the entertainment value. Sur

I think the title is misleading. It implies $60 is too much for the game. But I took the opposite from the interview. > "The saying in the industry right now is, 'If you want to sell a game for $60, to the player it has to feel

I believe most static site generators are "blog oriented". And a blog is still a website.

Awesome! I love Butterick’s Practical Typography. It taught me a lot about typography, and started my love for typefaces. The fact that Matthew Butterick is, a lawyer, a typographer and a programmer just increase my respect for him. Thank y
