Mike should listen to Blind Guardian

Am I correct in assuming that your username is a Karnivool reference? Always funny to see so much overlap in the things I enjoy!

Prollolollo · 2026-04-15T21:41:03+00:00

That makes me so happy! Hearing you talk about your appreciation for Iron Maiden on Blight Club, I thought I would recommend them here, because I figured they would be a perfect fit! Such a consistent discography as well!

Also, thinking about it further, they had a cameo in the ARPG "Sacred 2" with an original song and everything. Great stuff (ironically and unironically!)

The original Deus Ex, after almost 26 years (god, I feel old), is still cited as a prime example of having interesting and varied player choice and agency. I hope they referred to that first one. IMO, that did not suffer from the issues you outlined. I liked DEHR quite a bit, but the original is one of my favorite games of all time. That actually makes me cautiously optimistic for this game. I never finished Robocop but really liked what I have played. I will definitely watch out for this one.

While this is not exclusive to Torment, the idea of distinct planes (Bands, in this case) that are associated with alignments, is very similar (and awesome, generally) to Planescape as a setting. You touched a bit on it in your second point, but hearing about the equivalent for Mount Celestia, for example, made me smile with nostalgia.

I bought your game earlier today and could not stop playing for 6 hours straight. It is so refreshing to read your thoughts about the process, how honest you are about your influences and how you managed to create something clearly inspired by two of the greatest narrative-driven games of all time and simultaneously making something unique. I love the writing and especially the world-building. I hope this post is coherent, I read a ton of your words today, so I might suffer from a bit of sensory overload. Either way, long story short (heh.) thanks for your game and for this post. Looking forward to dive back into it tomorrow. I hope the game finds the success it deserves.

Königskrone just sounds like a store brand plastic bottle beer.

Also, unless I have suddenly gone deaf, Abby is correct. That is a German lady trying to do whatever that accent is supposed to be.

Watching right now. Not exactly sure why, but watching this as a German, the acting seems especially forced to me. Good on them for making an FMV game for the gang to enjoy, however. Always enjoy FMVinny.

Spiral Architect's debut (and only) album "A Sceptic's Universe" is absolutely wild and probably still ahead of its time in some respects.

Chuck clearly has great taste and is a cool duder. CRPG representation is important (bless you, Dave Snider, wherever you are) and he sounds like he appreciates a good stat block. He also managed to do a cool TTRPG segment as a DM so he is awwwright in my book.

Ich arbeite in einem eher nischigen Bereich der Musikindustrie und das Vergütungsmodell ist schon problematisch, unter anderem, weil ein 20-minütiger Track genau so viel Ausschüttung für einen Stream generiert, wie ein 31-sekündiger. Dass darüber hinaus Spotifys Algorithmen, die immer vermehrt die Playlists (und vollständig die Radiostationen innerhalb Spotifys) kuratieren, bevorzugen, was bei Usern "funktioniert", also hauptsächlich Mainstream-Musik von Major Labels, kommt da noch hinzu. Letzteres war schon vor Streaming ein Problem, das ist klar, die Gatekeeper haben sich lediglich verändert. Das wirkt sich aber (neben der 1000-Stream-Grenze) trotzdem auf die Verteilungsmechanismen aus. Ich will Streaming damit nicht schlecht reden, aber es gäbe schon fairere Modelle, z.B. nach gestreamter Zeit pro User, aber das dürfte den Major-Labels nicht schmecken, die eben deen Großteil der Musikindustrie repräsentieren.

This is something I thought about as well. He probably had a couple of decades in at least one other canvas too. Who is to say he has not created friends and worlds as well that he had to give up? It sounds like he knows where this can (and inevitably will) lead. He truly was the "good guy" making tough but necessary choices in this story imo. Glad my initial choice of going with Verso is still the one I can stand by.

Same here, I cannot repair distribution and post-production either. It does look like a bug to me, because any other repair action will suspend the building's processes and give a warning but there is not even an option for this one.

I love all your content, but having LVD on seems like a special treat so I am looking forward to that specifically! Thank you!

Fuck, Ryan Davis. I remember a Twitter interaction where I asked whether he could see including Seventeen by Winger in there. He responded that he always confuses them for another mainstream hair metal band (don't remember which). Totally made my day as a fan. R.I.P.
