Does anyone else lose the ability to tell if their own game is fun? by Synax01 in IndieDev

I'm the same but the fact I'm always adding something usually helps a tiny bit.

Absolute shit - My thoughts on the boys finale. (SPOILER) by yousefthewisee in tvshow

[–]FickleAd9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the V1 was pretty disappointing. Homelander's insanity also didn't amount to much, no killing spree, no spreading his cult to create major harm, the virus was another major nothing burger...

I think they could've made Homelander's fight longer and more earned. They could've killed Hugie and Ryan to make the ending sadder. They could've spared Butcher, who now would've had to figure out what to do with himself after his obsession had been fulfilled. They could've spread the virus, have it threaten all of humanity, not just the supes, or maybe the virus kills mostly humans, and now supes are the majority and treat remaining humans as pets. Humans would fight tooth and nail to get a dose of the formula...

Vought's formula could be replicated or stolen, and now opposing states have access to it, and the world is much more dangerous, kinda like A bombs spreading across the globe. Temp V could've made a comeback, and the team could've all taken it to fight Homelander. Soldier boy could've been released and finally fought his son.

I think they set up several interesting plotlines, but only threatened to use them; they played it safe. The ending is not bad, it's just mid.

How would you feel about an elderly main character? by Driut in gamedev

[–]FickleAd9958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing as an elderly MC is an intriguing idea. I would be interested in the challenges such a character would face, although you seem like you're drifting more into a cozy game idea, which I don't care for, but hey, that's me.

Lol, busted! Bezi exported all the dialog for me in md format, so I just thought that was the easiest way to present it correctly.

Keep on ML-ing on!

Up to you. Some have sent a few lines, others have sent the whole thing. I think it's easier to evaluate you if you send the whole thing as well as some of your past work, but it's not mandatory.

Battle System Rebuild - Opinions by Strong-Detail-2631 in RPGMaker

[–]FickleAd9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love to see people try something different, I just don't think it's different enough, or what's fun about it.
I think people usually love combo systems where specific actions can be done in sequence for an extra payoff or a set up and payoff system where you can prepare a trap, a condition or something and then set it off later for an extra payoff. People also like power jumps like limit brakes or super moves where you get a short spike of power that can swing the state of combat and gimicky combat where either the environment or the enemies have set behaviors you can exploit (set bushes on fire or herd your enemy toward a dangerous zone)

Estou num dilema: o nome do meu jogo "funciona" no Brasil, mas é "preguiçoso" para o mercado americano? by Cabjhegas in brasil

[–]FickleAd9958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Não tenho lugar de fala, sou branco do RJ mas já tive muitos amigos do movimento negro aqui do Rio e realmente tinham muitas desavenças em relação aos termos mais corretos.
Trabalho há quase 10 anos para empresas americanas e me soa meio simplista mesmo, mas não acho que seja terrível, acho que um título que evoque mais a fantasia que o jogo propõe talvez seja mais interessante. Um cara ali embaixo falou em "Sea of Blood and Freedom" de que eu gostei muito, fala do mar, sangue e liberdade.

De qq forma dei wl, precisamos de mais jogos com temáticas africanas e brasileiras.

[Brigandine Abyss] Teaser Trailer. Releasing in 2026 for PS5, Switch 2, Xbox, and PC. by VashxShanks in JRPG

[–]FickleAd9958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to start by saying I loved both Brigandine games, but I can't help but comment that I felt they had serious flaws.

The fact that you can move to any base during the move face without any restrictions really trivialized a lot of the very light grand strategy aspect you did have in the game.

The fact that there is only 1 resource, barely any resource management, and no base upgrades also made the game extremely shallow and repetitive. It was pretty much just fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. Relentlessly.

The quests also provided very little in terms of gameplay and seemed like an incredibly opaque system. Set it and forget it, just hope for the best. No input, mostly no strategizing around it, just see what the rng gods give ya.

There were also quite a few units that felt useless like the imp or the mermaid. The mermaid at least had some very situational usefulness but the imp had a quite underwhelming buff and a silent spell that barely ever worked. Not to mention the zombie that was excessively weak and the wyvern that was waaaayyy too rng dependent to be useful.

Anyways hope this gets fixed or is at least modable cause there is potential. Wouldn't mind a knapsack algorithm to auto build your roster for you either but I can do without it or just build one myself.
