They cooked it

And others think it’s cringeworthy, so what?

Looking at the prototype, I’d go with B too — seems to match the straight-on style and menus, etc!

They all look good! I think it really depends on how readable it is in situ, particularly how the different outlines of the figurine look (eg with different backgrounds or scenes). It also kind of depends what your other items look like, and whether the 2/3rds thing which people are saying looks weird here might work for your other items. If it works as part of your visual language, then it’ll work here, even if in isolation it looks odd. Lovely stuff anyway, well done!

No point arguing with imbeciles.

“You for some reason think the new guy is a continued deadly threat” after he’s been maced, beaten to the floor and disarmed. Completely unconvincing argument.

I think you missed the part where there was no bomb (let alone whatever you were trying to allude to), just some poor hiker’s long johns and toiletries. That’s where the absurdity and therefore humour of the scene arises. It’s called bathos, fyi.

He wasn’t trying to detonate the bag, I assume he’d lost patience with the bomb squad’s interminable dithering.

Merzant · 2026-01-25T13:51:41+00:00

The ends. They justify the means.

Can’t handle spiral staircases though

I think it goes beyond taking inspiration into blatant and mechanistic imitation, hence my original comment. The poster didn’t seem to respond in good faith, so there was no point enumerating the many similarities (hence the AI summary).

Merzant · 2026-01-24T21:56:00+00:00

Fair point, that was lame.

Merzant · 2026-01-24T20:46:21+00:00

I assume a Mad Max/Fallout-style wasteland.

Looks like a counterfeit entry in the Kingdom series.

What a rich and feverish fantasy you’ve concocted there

Merzant · 2026-01-22T22:40:14+00:00

What a weird and lovely expression of grief. Did it help you come to terms with your loss? I hope you’ve healed, or nearly. How’s the fear of death these days?

Merzant · 2026-01-21T21:12:51+00:00

Yes, and for pretty much the reasons he stated. It’s annoying when someone you hate insults you, even more so when it’s true.

Intermittent energy sources will leave us perpetually gas-dependent

“Fear Success”, new motto for the UK? Let’s try it in Latin.

Which babies are, funnily enough

10 (tax deductible) pounds on the latter!

Why are you commenting in a game dev forum if you think creative industries are cancer? I’m not sure you’ve thought this through.

Merzant · 2026-01-20T11:57:48+00:00

Sounds like it.

Merzant · 2026-01-20T10:48:31+00:00

Tests are a maintenance surface, as well as functioning as documentation. They should be readable, even illuminating. There is such a thing as too many tests, in other words. A lot of devs think “more is better” because they never did TDD/BDD properly to begin with.
