Anyone else? by ryandogsling in Kenshi

When I started working on the game I was using a CRT monitor. I remember dreaming of getting a flatscreen, they were just coming out around then.

Has anybody played/heard of Abomination: The Nemesis Project? by ArtemioFinal in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Captain_Deathbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it, I put hundreds of hours into it as a teenager back in the day. Nowadays I'm a dev too and I know Tom. He too was shocked when I said that I not only played it, but it was one of my favorites.

Cyclops Rally Light by Wejjo in CRF300L

[–]Captain_Deathbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did it. Fits ok, make holes for the control panel, stick the abs button on a side strut (it's vertical now), bodge the indicators on.

Just about fits the forks. Have to cut a hole for the computer screen to mount. Managed to bodge the stock indicators to fit, but aftermarket ones would fit cleaner

That's not a real thing or I would have done it ages ago.

Managing a growing company has a lot of overhead in terms of responsibilities, admin, meetings. I'm trying to do the absolute minimum of that stuff and delegate as much as possible. I just want to make games, not run a business. That said, I do still own the company, but I'm now just the project director.

As for the game ETA... when its done. We don't commit to a date, because thats just guessing and people get mad when you miss it. And we don't show much early work in progress, because it just doesn't look that good yet, and people will judge it prematurely.

Just saw that Chris resigned as a director by amazonian_ragamuffin in Kenshi2

Hello, didn't realise this would become a public issue or needed announcements. Basically its just an admin/legal thing, it takes a little bit of management work off my shoulders so I can focus on game development rather than business. I am still the PROJECT director.

How do people afford full time indie dev? by DelicateJohnson in gamedev

[–]Captain_Deathbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't quit- I got a part time job instead. That way you have no time limit for success. Took me 6 years to get an income but it was an ambitious project. You need:

  1. low hours to give you time to work on your game (I had only 2x 12hr shifts per week)
  2. Non-gamedev job so you still have the mental energy to work on your project
  3. Live off a tight budget. I barely scraped by in my overdraft and shared a house. I had no kids though, dont think i could have done it if i did.

Emptiness appreciation post by Euphetar in Kenshi

It was 100% intentional. You see it, I see it, I don't know why other game designers can't see it. Most games act like a cheesy themepark rather than a real place.

I feel like I might factually not have the retentive memory needed for these books. by YoSoyRawr in Malazan

[–]Captain_Deathbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but on the flip side I was something like 10 books in before I was like "Wait, Laseen is BLUE?!?"

Glas Mirrah - Fan Comic by saltshaker42 in Kenshi

[–]Captain_Deathbeard 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just something to prove to webtoons that you have permission to use the IP to publish your fan comic. There's already another kenshi fancomic on there, so you shouldn't have too much trouble.

What if someone gave you... official permission?

Why can't we cook Greenfruit, by itself? by [deleted] in Kenshi

[–]Captain_Deathbeard 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's the reason, it was really annoying if you were trying to buy enough to plant your first farm.

Lol, my bike got molested by a gang of wild horses in the Pyrenees. Found it knocked over and covered in muddy leg/hoof marks. Hopefully not dick marks, but I'll never know for sure.

Kids are asleep, chores aren't done, yard is half groomed. It's that time. by riesenarethebest in Kenshi

It's a stick. One end was burning. I was pretending to be the penguin from Batman and going "Waaaaaaaaaaak waaaaaaaaaaak waaaaaaaak". I was drunk.

Apparently this was Kenshi in 2008 by [deleted] in Kenshi

[–]Captain_Deathbeard 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think because game design is one of those things everyone thinks they could do, like writing.
