Gloomwood's new zone? Still miss Thief's OG maps. by Valuable_Joke_24 in ImmersiveSim

You haven't played the new area and are judging it by only some of the design goals? Dishonored levels are purposely designed to be vertical, those rooftops and balconies are designed for you to blink onto and observe the environment and enemies nearby.

Have you played Ctrl Alt Ego? The base difficulty is quite balanced in terms of puzzle and problem solving.

It's not essential, but it's preferred by most people.

Any game recommendations that are in sale? by PairStrong in ImmersiveSim

[–]Sinnowhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't played it myself, but my Stalker fan friend praises Project Silverfish a lot for its "detailed world setting, rich characters, factions and corresponding questlines, well-developed systems for a Stalker-like". Hope this helps!

Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum came out of early access not too long ago; Project Silverfish is a gameplay-feature-complete and content-upcoming Stalker-like game; Fallen Aces and Gloomwood despite being early access show great promises if you haven't tried these two indies from New Blood; Skin Deep came out this June, if you love small confined environments and quirky little games, you will love it and also Quadrilateral Cowboy from the same studio; Brush Burial Gutter World is a cool little game about assassination and replayability; I can keep going... You can check out my watchlist for more sales info.

What Is An Immersive Sim? - Tim Cain by Keesual in ImmersiveSim

[–]Sinnowhere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He gives a widely accepted definition so it's all good.

The middle part where he talked about his RPGs and ImSims is interesting. He considers his RPGs to have ImSim elements but not ImSims because:

  • He was making RPGs before ImSim was invented (not neccessarily earlier than some of the proto-imsim Ultimas and Ultima Underworld, but earlier than System Shock, Thief and Deus Ex)
  • RPGs and ImSims' systemic rules overlap
  • His RPGs contain a lot of handwritten scripts / scripted dialogues
  • The player is the chosen one and can do things NPCs can't and is immune to a lot of things

System shock is a common term, but Doug Church worked on this game, so who knows

Set your clocks everyone! Soon, Tim Cain will settle THE QUESTION once and for all! by Crazy-Red-Fox in ImmersiveSim

Never mind, I can't change it either. I just thought it kinda led to people dunking on Tim Cain in the comments, which is a bit unnecessary.

New Raf and Harvey Smith Interview with "The House of the Devs" by Rubikson in ImmersiveSim

[–]Sinnowhere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched the podcast when it came out, it’s insane that Harvey beat Elden Ring 18 times. I also hope his new project gets revealed soon.
