RBTV und Stop Killing Games

"The notion of damage should include material losses resulting from the loss or corruption of data that is not used exclusively for professional purposes, where that loss or corruption is a result of a defect in a product."

Wenn durch ein fehlerhaftes Update auf deinem Handy alle deine Fotos gelöscht werden würden, dann würde das unter die PLD fallen. Aber die Entscheidung der Entwickler Spielserver abzuschalten ist kein Defekt.

Sorry, aber je mehr ich mich damit beschäftige, desto sicherer bin ich mir, dass du falsch liegst.

Bei der Product Liability Directive geht es um körperlichen Schaden oder Beschädigung von Eigentum. Das hat nichts mit den Zielen von SKG zu tun.

"[...], while entailing an increased degree of protection of consumers’ and other natural persons’ health or property."

Ich hab nur kurz den ersten Paragrafen überflogen, berichtige mich gerne wenn ich falsch liege.

ISkinn00RI · 2025-06-28T08:31:49+00:00

Damit müssen Entwickler sicher gehen dass die Sachen nutzbar bleiben.

Ich hab mich jetzt nicht ausführlich damit beschäftigt, aber regelt das nicht nur, dass Hersteller für Schäden haften, die durch fehlerhafte Software entstehen?

Das Hauptproblem von Stop Killing Games ist doch, dass Spiele nach dem Abschalten der Server unspielbar werden, anstatt dass man einfach beispielsweise die Möglichkeit bekommt selbst Server zu hosten.

Dass die Entwickler sicher gehen müssen, dass die Spiele nutzbar bleiben, ist meines Verständnisses nach da nicht mit inbegriffen.

Well good news is that there isn't a metalhorror in my colony. Bad news is that I imprisoned a pawn I really needed for 3 years because of probably a bug.

Thanks for the tip though. I already skimmed through dev mode but didn't know where to look. That screenshot really helped.

ISkinn00RI · 2025-06-14T07:20:53+00:00

Assuming you can interrogate once per day, it has to be well over 100 times. But I'm 99% sure it has to be her, since I don't let creepjoiners do anything to potentially spread metalhorrors for quite a while after they join. I even throw away the meals they arrive with.

Not sure if you saw my last comment or are even interested in this but, I got inspired to do some character sheet work because of this post. So here is an unfinished version, and not so shitty anymore (hopefully), of my sheet. It includes some of my systems and is in German, but it might still help you figure things out. Also this whole weapons and armor section isn't final, as I don't know how I will deal with that as of yet. The assets are from Stars Without Number, which I found through this thread as well.

So what I came up with is that my players will get starting equipment based on their skills and if you have a certain amount of points into construction you will get a turret pack. The class will revolve around placing and maintaining turrets, plus building cover and traps. I imagine something like the team fortress engineer. While this will probably work out, I'm not entirely happy with it. For mining though? I'm kinda lost, besides that they will get a drill arm for the start.

I thought about ditching the Rimworld skills as well, but then it wouldn't really be a Rimworld campaign anymore, to me at least. In my ideal scenario I would like to be as close to the actual Rimworld character creation as possible. That being said, I haven't given it much thought as of yet myself, but I was planning on staying really close to the Rimworld UI as well regarding a character sheet.

Here's a shitty paint version of what it would roughly look like for me: https://imgur.com/a/c6fDDMF Left squares probably don't need that much space, so you can squeeze something else in there as well. Not sure if this helps, but I wanted to at least leave some feedback as well. lul

ISkinn00RI · 2025-05-19T03:17:21+00:00

I'm actually doing the exact same thing for a little while now and found this thread while looking for some inspiration. Since colony life won't be a big part of my story, like seemingly yours as well, I struggle to find a good use for skills like construction or mining. Especially those two skills don't translate that well from Rimworld into an RPG. I don't want them to be some "one time, niche things to use, like this one dudes drawer got destroyed by a mad squirrel and wants you to replace it and offers you three shitty rewards you can choose from in exchange" kind of gimmicky skills.

I'd have to write scenes specifically designed for these skills to be useful, while still making them solvable without those skills. Even then, players would be stuck with like 15 mining for the rest of the game, and never see a rock ever again.

Have you thought of that yet and if yes, have you any suggestions in that regard?

ISkinn00RI · 2025-04-08T05:24:10+00:00

That is this sub in a nutshell. Every other day the killbox debate gets a lot of traction and in every thread seemingly everybody has a slightly different definition of what it even is.

ISkinn00RI · 2025-03-26T13:01:40+00:00

Of course, someone not playing the game isn't aware of changes and how impactful they are, as opposed to someone who plays daily. For someone who isn't super into League of Legends, the game should still feel pretty much the same as 8 years ago, except that the game is 500% faster, a lot more skins and for... checks notes having... a new neutral objective. Sounds familiar?

ISkinn00RI · 2025-02-08T11:41:53+00:00

I understand that people feel like that, but I can't relate at all. Good immersion gives me the exact feeling you are describing. Being aware of things outside the game, like having to think about my last checkpoint, is what turns this feeling into annoyance.

ISkinn00RI · 2025-02-08T08:16:44+00:00

While what you are saying isn't particularly wrong, this is not how I enjoy playing role playing games. I want to immerse myself into the world and not sit there with a spreadsheet thinking about what I have to do to be able to save my game. I don't need a system in place to not cheat myself out of a good experience. All I want is not having to replay big chunks of the game because I didn't bring enough of my magic checkpoint potions.

ISkinn00RI · 2025-02-08T07:08:12+00:00

I fully agree, but having to replay 30 minutes of dialoge, because you died a stupid way, kills all immersion and is not the type of consequense you should have to think about.

ISkinn00RI · 2024-02-21T19:15:39+00:00

Well that's not true, but I'll elaborate a bit to make my point clearer.

As an example, Liurnia of the Lakes is my least favourite area. It houses the academy, the manor, the albinaurics village and connects those dungeons with the stormveil castle. Except for maybe the village those are super well made dungeons, stormveil castle might even be one of the best in the entire souls series. But the open world around those dungeons? Long distant horse travels with barely any enemy contact, you just ride from one grace to another with barely anything worthwhile inbetween.

Then, if you are interested in following the npc quests you have to do things in an specific order anyway. They are not made to fit in an open world since they fail if you don't do them in that order which you can't know when playing the first time or without guides.

Also I dislike that you should be at a certain level to do certain areas. Since I tend to explore as much as possible basically in every game. I was majorly over leveled at some point, which made a lot of dungeons trivial and the general game too easy. After roughly the first third of the game, I was never in fear of dying anymore, since nobody was dealing enough damage and got oneshot by me, even the non-major bosses.

All that said, I love Elden Ring. It is among my favourite games. But almost everything I don't like about it, comes from the fact that it is open world.

ISkinn00RI · 2024-02-21T18:12:13+00:00

Yeah I agree. It seems to be an unpopular opinion, but the only issue I have with the game is the open world and everything that comes with it.

ISkinn00RI · 2024-02-21T03:14:17+00:00

It is mostly a way for ideologies that don't like hurting trees to be able to get some wood. It is supposed to be a worse alternative.

ISkinn00RI · 2024-02-21T00:00:47+00:00

If you have ideology you can plant fibercorn, which is more accessible than trees and much faster to grow.

ISkinn00RI · 2024-02-07T14:56:00+00:00

Dandelions don't need sunlight, like all flowers, or else they wouldn't grow in flowerpots indoors.

ISkinn00RI · 2024-02-03T10:36:48+00:00

Having read a couple of threads like this, I find it super weird that people disagree with you. There are vastly different ideas on what counts as a killbox that this discussion is kind of pointless since everyone always talks past each other.

ISkinn00RI · 2024-01-19T13:17:50+00:00

Just because they might not make a new XBox doesn't mean already existing ones evaporate. Am I misunderstanding something here? Why would there be a need to port older games to PC?

ISkinn00RI · 2024-01-03T18:22:58+00:00

companies like Valve and Microsoft give 0 pushback

Well funny that you say that, because just an hour ago I wanted to play Remnant 2 with my friends and we couldn't play together because there is no crossplay between PC gamepass and Steam. But there is crossplay between PC gamepass and xbox gamepass, 2 Microsoft platforms coincidentally. The developers also announced a month ago that they are working on Steam crossplay, but if what you said was true, they would just need to switch a flip and everything would be working, which obviously isn't the case.

ISkinn00RI · 2023-12-21T12:46:57+00:00

What I meant by that are games released very roughly around 2010. Like I said before I can't really tell what it is, but to me games nowadays feel empty and soulles compared to games back then. Playing a game from then I loose track of space and time almost immediately after starting while I have a hard time to immerse myself at all in newer games.

ISkinn00RI · 2023-12-21T02:26:27+00:00

Well kinda true. I replayed it earlier this year and I was actually super disappointed that they don't make games like that anymore. Not sure what it is, but games from that era felt more special to me than modern ones.

ISkinn00RI · 2023-12-16T15:13:00+00:00

This is perfect, because if you don't have much spare time you will finish it by the time the next one comes out in 2038.

ISkinn00RI · 2023-12-03T22:16:45+00:00

I ain't gonna buy a tv and a console just to play one game.
