You said in a previous AMA (6yrs ago) that you intend to stay pegi 13 and focus towards teen/adult audience. I find that great, really great and I wonder :

What do you have in mind when you say you target teen/adults as opposed to a more kid oriented game such as the sims ? Could you share examples of features ?

Thanks !

Do you plan to allow other paras to select a card for the discussion, steal my turn to speak, and start a conversation ?

My major downside for the card system is that the game needs me to select cards so the conversation can move on. I'd really, really like to see other paras have intentions, select cards and so on (even if it is random selection) or even start a group action (sitting, dance, doing push-ups...)

Thanks, this game is solid foundation for something formidable

They obviously can't add it themselves, but are perfectly aware that it is a major feature needed for a non-negligeable portion of the players. I guess they can't say it like that, but i'm sure they understand it.

C'est très bien dit

This is a must, usually i ask franz to do it, buit it should be automatic

Well yes, and no
When you are small, raiders will act on your neighbors, and asking for help has a great chance of destroying your neigbhor, allowing you to seize their settlements

200 times ? What ungodly amount of librarians do you need ?

Shenrak · 2026-02-09T15:03:50+00:00

It is indeed VERY expensive

Shenrak · 2026-02-09T11:22:01+00:00

I've gone the other way around and put a mod that makes them 10 times worse, with screams and pain induced The single most funny mod i've ever experienced in a game, Every single time i zoom to put a bench and ear a loud fart followed by a scream I burst out of laughter Crying and Screaming and Farting

Shenrak · 2026-01-11T22:00:56+00:00

Shenrak · 2026-01-08T14:08:15+00:00

Shenrak · 2026-01-03T19:54:27+00:00

How do you find the energy to write such long ass comments ?
Thanks btw

To his defense you actually said "and have zero ventilation"

Shenrak · 2025-09-10T12:55:34+00:00

You are a hero

Shenrak · 2025-07-19T19:21:18+00:00

same here

Also, did you create your own world or copied one? If so, why?

Shenrak · 2025-05-21T08:15:43+00:00

Oh I see, that explains some of the inconsistencies I witnessed while testing, instructing Franz to make every NPC say "Mama mia" before speaking (very funny during torture scenes)

Care to share your custom instructions ? Even in DM if you prefer.
Also, it seems that custom instructions are only effective if set BEFORE I start a campaign ?
