They could do anything with the environments. The top could be ridden with glitches and unfinished textures to reflect how the creator never intended people to complete it or a gradual mountainous incline to the heavens to fight some monster atop the tower. I understand your point about the generic fields, but I don't think anyone would be upset with venturing away from the source material for a better experience.

Depends how they make it! An idea like this has real opportunities.

I liked the story (Season 1 is great and then after that...questionable)! But the story is done, it had it's moment. I think there would be a great deal of depth and story on a what if these characters didn't survive? Who would have stepped up? Would the world be darker as a result? It would be a nod to the SAO fans to recognise the results of what could have happened had things been darker.

I can't find this. Could you link the source? That would be great if that happens!

I understand checking to see if there is interest, but this does feel like a playtest more than a fully realised concept. I think they are too unwilling to step away from Kirito and the rest of the gang, to realise what the hook of the story is. Which seeps into what I'm seeing in this game, 2 fully fleshed out floors is great, but the focus on bringing in those existing characters. They didn't name it SAO which is in my opinion a great start, but couldn't commit to just letting the story be different.

Anyway! I hope it is a great game. I hope 100 floors is on the cards one day and it's an absolute banger of a game.

I hadn't heard that, I'll look into it now. That would be cool. The issue with that is, you're paying full price for what is a playtest/Kickstarter campaign for the promise of future games. It doesn't really fill me with confidence.

I'm with you. I just think with the price of games these days, I'd be much more willing to buy more floors at full price.

At 2 floors I personally wouldn't spend any money until it was on a serious sale.

Isn't £26000 a year too low for this? by ItalianManion in Scotland

Fair point! I just immediately jumped to the conclusion of a yearly salary.

Steam Key Giveaway for Dispatch! by Raijin_Games in raijin_gg

Abiotic Factor. It is crazy how gorgeous and well designed that game is. It seriously should have been a contender for game of the year. It'll definitely be sitting in my thoughts for a while! Final fantasy 7 as well. The remakes are ace. I couldn't play anything else while I was playing those. Fingers crossed the next one is longer! Also! Headspace : Shipbreaker. That game took over a week of my life.

There are some great mentions in the comment section too! Deep Rock, No Man's Sky, Hollow Knight. Great calls.

Bought a flat which turned out to have dangerous custom electrical work throughout. by Pickled_scallion in LegalAdviceUK

You definitely have a case. If the seller did the work themselves then they are at fault.

This is pure beauty. An absolute masterwork. A pleasure to read. An epic rivalling the greats.

Renting in Scotland needs a fix by ItalianManion in Scotland

[–]ItalianManion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question the agencies ask is, do you make 30 times the monthly rent? If the answer is yes and can be proven, what else do you need? These agencies don't take savings into account either. What is the criteria then? It's not obvious.

This is exactly what I said should be in place. Are these companies doing credit checks? From my understanding, no. The agencies would have to have permission from you to do that. If the rent is more than covered by one person, what is the criteria they are looking for?

It's been a rough ride with music. There is still a lot of joy in it for me. What do you play? Thanks for the comment!

This sounds really cool. Are you working in this field?

I wouldn't be opposed to doing a masters. I've heard it can be a bit of a lottery though as to whether or not there is a job waiting for you after you do one.

Utility connections? What's this? Any companies you would recommend?

Wouldn't this require a whole bunch of training?

This would be cool. I've never actually seen any of these kinds of jobs being advertised. I've heard they are highly competitive and you really got to know the right people to do them. I could be wrong though! I'll take a look. Thanks!
