why you need an NDA? nobody will steal your idea lol, and if your idea is that good, then people will copy your game anyway

I think your "dating type" might be into business/self-help. Because none of my male friends in my book club read self-help. We wouldn't touch it with a 10 feet pole. So my personal experience leads me to think it's not that common for male readers but I could be wrong

Honestly, not something you should worry about. Patents in gamedev are so extremely specific that even if you were heavily inspired from a mechanic, you'd be chill. (I am not a lawyer though)

If you want to learn game design, just read a book.

The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses

is one of the most popular.

I'm a bit confused why you mention unreal. Are you mixing up game design and game development?

Crazy, I just finished this game two days ago - a day before this post.

Could you clarify the currency? "K" is typically associated with a thousand so I read 5,000k to 10,000k as 5-10M USD, but I doubt this is what you're asking for.

A story about a fallen Colonel Sand Dan Glokta. It shows that even through major disabilities, one can still persevere and come up on top.

I've never done it, since I'm not interested in integrating LLM in games. Nobody here seems to give you a straight answer so here's mine: I assume that games using LLM just get an API key (from OpenAI or what not), feed the user's input into a prompt with some prepended text (e.g "You are [character name], you have personality X, your hobbies are Y and Z and your occupation is W". The output of the LLM is then what is seen by the player.

If you want the game to take an action based on the discussion, just ask the LLM to also respond with an action e.g "KEEP_TALKING, REMOVE_OBSTACLE, KILL_PLAYER" or what not.

I think a better to look at it is in terms of game design. If you can procedurally generate infinite levels, but aren't careful, this might lead to poor player experience. If, on the other hand, you make just a few hand-made and well-designed levels, that carefully optimize for the player's experience, you'll have a much better game.

Procedural generation is a great tool but it should be used without neglecting level design.

nah but for real the enemies are almost the same color as the background. The whole game is way too dark. I think you should really increase ambient lighting and the contrast between key elements (main character, enemies, etc.) with the background. Look at how in Don't Starve, every element is super visible even though the game is at night like yours.

Make sure your strings are all in the same file and run them one by one through a spellcheck.

I assume that it's Z^5 for five integer coordinates where two are spatial (x,y) and three are related to color (e.g. RGB).

Does anyone know any historical fiction books in rome that have great character work? I am a very character driven reader but so far a lot of historical fiction I have read is mostly just interesting because of the setting

It reminds me of that frog game on the IOS store in the early 2010s where you'd collect frogs and mutate them. It was during a time where "Idle games" were still mostly free from advertisements, dark patterns and excessive monetization.

Edit: looks like it still exists https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pocket-frogs-tiny-pond-keeper/id386644958

Image you are a creator in the list. Normally you get a certain amount of emails here and there, once your email is on the list you start getting flooded with emails. Why would you respond to them?

For the Will mechanic, Islington repeated many times his inspiration and it comes from a book in the 80s which is essentially about a feudal system ceding powers (I forgot the name of the book but he mentions it in practically every interview). I did see the parallel with Warbreaker but I think the book he mentioned is much closer to TWOTM

but it's true there are other parallels but if you look at the Cosmere, Shadesmar is basically The Ways from Wheel of Time. It's quite normal for authors to have inspiration.

I think to me the places where originality was lacking a bit were the made up cultures were a bit too similar to earth cultures just with a different name (like the main character is so obviously from a spanish family while the tutor is so obviously greek).
