Instead of explaining my views on things, I'm just going to show this to people from now on lol

@pax I met JediGuyBruce at PAX East previously and we crossed paths again this year. He's an enforcer. We wanted to connect and talk more but I never got more info than that name. I can't seem to find him anywhere online. If anyone knows how to contact him, please reach out.

@bHzw4lyoRq3EzwX Are you still working on Stone? It looks very interesting.

[Eluem @Eluem]

@GlvGalv @Probius6 @literally000000 I love all these fluid mobility focused games. They remind me of Starsiege: Tribes and a bit of what it was like to jump around maps in JKA.

I have this really ambitious project that I'm working towards that places movement inspired by all these games into a third person ARPG.

[Eluem @Eluem]

@KayLousberg That's a fun design.

I do have to say that it's ironic that you made this out of a farm implement with an attachment on it. The original flails were actually just farm implements designed for threshing.

@namedXbird @oisyn @XorDev Depends on how the language wants to handle it.

What language are you using?

I know null and NaN are different, but some languages will make any comparison that includes null return false. So, null == null and null != null will both be false.

[Eluem @Eluem]

@XorDev ^ True.

is ≠ =

[Eluem @Eluem]

However, I'd rarely ever want to play a game that was entirely centered on one of these mechanics. Yet, I'd really enjoy engaging with such systems if they were embedded in a larger crafting/survival game or other game where the mechanic would make sense.

[Eluem @Eluem]

If you were going to design fishing in a game and wanted it to be more interesting than effectively being a QTE, what would you do?

On that note, what other common gathering/crafting mechanics would you like to make more interesting, and how?

[Eluem @Eluem]

probably exists (to some extent) as an entire stand alone game already.

This is the problem I run into with these designs. I feel they're either too shallow to implement at all, or that making them deep enough to be worth it expands their scope to justifying their own game.

[Eluem @Eluem]

@RobinPoedev @wolfradsenpai What mechanics/elements in Dark Souls 1 were under utilized in your opinion that make you feel this way?

For me, I just feel Dks2 and 3 polished and executed the core combat and movement mechanics better overall.

I still really like Dark Souls 1.

[Eluem @Eluem]

@Enjacey @ObsoleteSony This was a great game. Probably my favorite of the entire genre.

[Eluem @Eluem]

@ObsoleteSony I would have said Einhander, though.. But someone else already did:

@ObsoleteSony This game had me hooked, loved it

[Eluem @Eluem]

@ObsoleteSony Project Overkill

I don't actually remember if it was truly any good. I just remember playing it a lot and enjoying it as a young kid.

It's basically a Doom 1 style shooter with lock and key level design, but it's isometric. It also had a system with different characters.

[Eluem @Eluem]

@ObsoleteSony I actually just looked it up to refresh my memory. One interesting aspect was that there were 4 characters, all with different abilities. When you died with one, you could choose another to respawn with. Those were your "lives".

[Eluem @Eluem]

@Phantom_TheGame @BecomingCaptain Why would you create a paradox like that? Are you trying to collapse the simulation?

[Eluem @Eluem]

@Phantom_TheGame @BecomingCaptain I know, right? What's your opinion? I agree with that. Lol

[Eluem @Eluem]

@oelsons Is this Death Stranding 2?

[Eluem @Eluem]

@Phantom_TheGame @BecomingCaptain I don't know.
