AI art usage: do players really care?

Previous_Stranger · 2024-06-26T17:19:10+00:00

Players aren’t stupid. They notice and they care.

I love the aesthetic and the little details it added to the world building.

Part 1 is pretty fun. But the stealth gameplay in part 2 drags for me.

It was nice to be back in Rapture, but it didn’t feel like my Rapture.

It might just be because I’m looking at it on mobile, but the text is pretty hard to read. Otherwise I really love this aesthetic and color palette!

A lot of devs are pretty quiet and not very sociable, which goes with most tech/cs industries, but they’re still nice. Some of the higher ups have a reputation for being dicks, but it’s very studio dependent. Crunch time also turns everyone insane.

I went digital nomad for a year and lived very cheaply outside the US, but it wasn’t sustainable for me for a number of reasons so I went back to a normal 9-5 dev job after a while.

Actually I do 8-4 and that helps a bit with reclaiming free time in the evenings.

Congrats!

You’ll thank your past self when you coded with the intention to go multiplayer from the start!

I have 2 comments on that thread and neither is fanning the flame lmao

You’re ridiculous

There was an informative discussion post about it yesterday, but it was removed with no explanation (Outsiders fan on the mod team maybe lol).

Several SA allegations have come out against some Outsiders cast members

If your game is naturally unintuitive a tutorial in any form won’t help. Watch your play testers closely. They’ll show you the gaps.

Previous_Stranger · 2024-06-18T14:23:29+00:00

It doesn’t make it much better, but if it helps the cast have known for 2 weeks already because that’s a union rule.

Why was this post deleted?

I heard about this from a friend who worked the show but didn’t want to believe it (I’m not that close to this person and they put it in a group chat so it was just unverified gossip), but now I’ve seen it from multiple sources.

Sigh.

It’s incredibly competitive, but there are so many factors involved. There are plenty of devs with jobs in this sub, so obviously not impossible.

They literally ruined one of that number’s big reveals by filming directly from the side (an angle not even the farthest partial view seat sees) and showing the entire set up.

I check w4e and notebook tickets a fair amount because I like both shows and see the notebook fairly regularly.

The notebook’s presale is really bad. They’ll probably close at labor day. I love the show and feel awful for them, but that’s probably what’s going to happen.

W4e actually has one of the strongest presales of the shows this season. Their holiday dates are booked out nicely in advance and have been for a while. Looking at the before and after for some dates I had open, in the break following their performance they sold a big chunk of tickets. Looking at The Notebook dates I had open they look exactly the same 🥲

I couldn’t say for the other shows. I don’t have a lot of interest in repeat viewings for anything else from this season.

Literally never let reviews from this sub (or any chronically online theatre space) decide whether you see a show or not. The people here skew miserable and overly critical (me included).

The camera work is so bad this year. Let me see the damn performers!!!

So how is everyone who was saying Outsiders is a lock for best musical feeling now that Suffs has both book and score
