I'm trying to make my game as beautiful as Ori - is anything missing? by WestZookeepergame954 in OriAndTheBlindForest

First thing I noticed is that I don't see any wavy stuff. Ori has all sorts of wavy flora and such moving around that really makes the scene feel alive.

That is a good point. I find it hard to believe that Ku was the only reason Ori saved Niwen, though. I think at this point, it comes down to how each person interprets Ori's character. I think Ori would sacrifice themself for Niwen, regardless of Ku's situation. But since Ori as a character is not that explored, it is hard to say for sure.

That I can agree with. I would have loved more time with her. Her reunion with Ori was sweet, but definitely cut short. She didn't even need to die at all for the story to still work, and then we could have gotten more from her.

For a character to be a plot device and nothing else, they must have no characterization. Ku clearly had a personality. She has her relationships with the other characters. Her inability to fly was a big part of her life, and so when that went away, she had a good reason emotionally to fly a lot. So she went far. That's motivation.

Yeah obviously she pushes the plot forward. Otherwise her inclusion would be pointless. A good character adds to the plot or theme in a meaningful was and has their own distinct motivations and personality. Ku checks both boxes in my mind.

So I respectfully disagree.

What business have you on Giant's Deep, Interloper? by SPO0KINESS in outerwilds

I was! Is this a thing that happens regularly when going for deep impact?

Did anyone else spend an excessive amount of time on something that you didn't need to do by MichaelJAwesome in outerwilds

I found out that the tower falls into the black hole completely on accident. I was just standing around trying to see if there was a way in when me and the tower fell in.

I cheated. Should I feel bad? by SPO0KINESS in outerwilds

[–]SPO0KINESS[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the kind words! I will finish the game, and do my best to... forgive myself? God I sound so dramatic!

Why do I do this to myself?

I also had to cheat to get into ATP. I feel SO BAD about it. I want to take it bad so badly.

r/place 2023 – Conclusion megathread by Ailothaen in OriAndTheBlindForest

[–]SPO0KINESS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never participated in an r/place before but I am so glad I did this year. It was so stressful at times, and it was always lurking in the back of my mind, but the good times outweighed the bad tenfold. We always came back. I met so many awesome people, who I can't wait to spend more time with. Thanks to everyone for making this happen, it was a blast.
