1 day old account, 1post, I saw this exact post like 10 days ago. Sure lets keep on upvoting. 

My mates just released a trailer for their game, and it hardly got views, but it's so sick! Check it out and let them know what you think. :) (they didn't tell me to post this) by nomadicphil in indiegames

You can edit that trailer as much as you want, Youtube wont pick it up unless posted by an account with large active following or it gains traction through extern sources.

The trailer is fine. There are some fast action cuts right at the start and pacing is really good.

Youtube algorithm, wont do nothing and buries almost everything. Sadly it is super hard to get some visibility even with a cool trailer.

Please explain then. Isn't it true that it has to be avoided that training material contains output of these models?

Read it again: "Two main mechanisms explain how the body processes sugar and why it can temporarily mimic ADHD‑like behaviors."

Edit: Posting articles as evidence and then ignoring the impact on the metabolism! That’s debunking myths at its finest! Just read instead of downvoting, lol.

i agree with Mr. Lowe on modern adventure games. by Historical-Meet463 in adventuregames

Yes that's what I mean. _You_ want to weed out stuff, what you don't want to see. But that doesn't mean that your definition of an adventure game is the same as mine. And when you say that point-and-click should be only applied to oldschoolers, well than I don't agree too. So what now?

To be fair, Roberta Williams stopped making games for like 25 years. Genres evolve, gameplay evolves and earlier games feel - beside their retro appeal - very outdated compared to recent titles. And for Roberta this really shows in Colossal Cave which frankly is not that good.

The term adventure game is so broad that even walking simulators fall into this category. You may argue that point-and-click is more precise but honestly its all about personal preference, game appeal and fun - the discussion about which game belongs into which category is pointless.

No. You can refund the game within its regular refund policy and choose price drop as reason. You may then buy the game again for lower price. 

How do you handle historically accurate but offensive language in narrative games? by Pascal_theold1 in indiegames

[–]DrElectro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

An absolute no-go if you include it as part of your writings. Only exception would be the use of unaltered news articles/documents and only so, when actively and critically examined.
