It's just a game

Give me your unpopular football opinion that other people wouldn't agree with...

@roger_creus_art @isotoxin390 I mean it probably would hurt if games weren't about AAAAA level graphics all the time. Let's spend some time with goofy "retro" graphics and making new gameplay experiences.

@FreakZoneGames But... I spent so long making walls fade in my other game... 🥲

[Pert @TooOldTooCold]

I have to say RDR2. I really liked RDR more as a game, and imho sequel never reached that gameplay wise. World and graphical improvements were of course other level.

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

What game made you feel like that?🚀

[Pert @TooOldTooCold]

How does GTA online work again? Everything is included but you pay for not grinding? Or you have to buy the missions?

@Twitchfactor Aim high or go home, I suppose?

[Pert @TooOldTooCold]

@Sllayt3r I suppose you have to make space for fast cars. Quite looking forward to it, actually.

@georgebsocial What does the "oh" mean - like a meh feature on hindsight? And getting rid, you mean improve, or thinking ahead and recognising it without putting in the effort and working on something more impactful? 🤔

[Pert @TooOldTooCold]

@BidiotBales @jaytholen Both extremes feel exhausting, so I see only option to keep head down, spend the time working on the game rather than doom scrolling or arguing or even quietly getting angry about the state of affairs.

Many hats 😅

[Pert @TooOldTooCold]

@locust9 That's also what my pension fund says 🥲

[Pert @TooOldTooCold]

Question about game tutorials.

If your game has "lexicon" section, do you reveal all tutorials or only ones that player has discovered so far? 🤔

And if you hide them, is it hidden, or blacked out, but listed?

[Pert @TooOldTooCold]

@Sllayt3r I have to wait until Mrs Santa delivers it a month later 🥲

[Pert @TooOldTooCold]

Hmmmmm 🤔 should I?

[pih @zingledonk]

when the game uses early and mid game bosses as normal enemies

Spent whole two nights trying to figure out how to use @Affinity to draw vector norse knotwork patterns so they have that endless "3D" effect 😅

@SandorHQ Damn, well that's my idea of releasing my next game as simplified mobile experience out of the window

[Pert @TooOldTooCold]

@roger_creus_art Very fitting.

@locust9 He got huanged by his balls.
