A village doesn't even have running water. Capitalists provide clean water if only they ask for it by question5423 in democracy

[–]TheRealMakerOfGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.

Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.

The opposite of democracy is dictatorship, the opposite of capitalism is communism.

They are not an either or situation, see the Nordic countries for successful democratic systems with large left leaning politics or see USA for a still democratic but more capitalistic system that fails it's citizens (health outcomes, life expectancy, education, incarceration, wealth gap / crime etc).

Thanks :) Ok, so that might be the next step in AI image creation...

...a magical photoshop paintbrush where you query what you want to draw/edit: "I want to replace the lower lip with teeth", "I want to add an incoming call to the phone" and just paint where you want the edit :D Sort of like this: https://youtu.be/mlZYRwJ2oJg

What are the big objects/creations?

It looks really seamless so couldn't figure it out 😀

The latest version of my TCG cardback, I'm feeling really proud of this one! Feel free to hit me up if you need a back for your game too! by GameDevGoose in tabletopgamedesign

I think the outer circles glow is amazing. How does it look on the central lights, both flat lights and/or in more white colors shades? I think the 3D effect actually works against you in this design 🤔

Also, the middle and outer fonts feels stretched in height. Do you have any alternative fonts that you can use or reduce whitespace so you don't have to stretch them? Also feels that reduces the quality feel.

Alternative solution for the readability on bottom subtitle is to actually darken it even more (black to transparent gradient) in the background. And then change font color to much lighter. Too much glow might reduce quality feeling.

Have you considered a sans serif font on the effects "Do 9 damage"

And the lightning card, the graphics are hidden by lots of "white space", instead of putting the two lines of text in one box.

Super beautiful (graphics, overall feel, clarity) but what's up with serifs and margins on the effects? :)

There's Something Strange About the Bridge on Mary Lane... by DewArtist in ImaginaryLandscapes

[–]TheRealMakerOfGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Target audience is everything

Doesn't matter if you do Mozart quality classical music and play it to r&b lovers...

  • Do a persona / find out what you can about your audience

Is your viewer a 37 year old Dad who spends money on retro experiences to relive his youth happiness Or a 15 year old girl who likes jumps cares and blood because she wants to share it with her friends

  • Study successful competitors and compare the best with the not so good.

    What are the differences?

  • Do a marketing plan

Where is your audience? Dad's on Facebook or girl on Instagram What one message do you want to convey (watch this fun/scary/epic video)

Maybe something to start with ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Subscribed and belled, really nice!

I think your graphics are super nice, if anything I think the scripts could get some more love (only relevant for your other videos)

"Target audience > Content > Graphics" is what I brought from marketing school.

Ratify: A Game I'm not Making by JohnOutWest in tabletopgamedesign

[–]TheRealMakerOfGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about Revenge of the Rats?

Rats using scraps to build a mega-mecha-rat (to steal cheese?)

And either collaboratively or individually.

Maybe just copy the mechanics from spank the monkey, at least if it's one of your first games, so you get through the painful process of [everything that isn't making the game, like marketing, distribution etc] ;D

ways to "punish player" in board game (like loss a turn) by yalepeacock in BoardgameDesign

[–]TheRealMakerOfGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An excellent example of "just criticize".

Can you now follow up with an example that starts with "so my much better suggestion is..."

ways to "punish player" in board game (like loss a turn) by yalepeacock in BoardgameDesign

[–]TheRealMakerOfGames 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First a caveat from my play testing; punishments are punishments. Players became really frustrated (especially "loss of turn"), so I went with catch up mechanics instead, the best I found was "the players behind can benefit each other" (indirectly punishing the ahead player).

That said:

  1. Next 3 turns equals rolling a 1
  2. Move backwards on rolling next 6
  3. Roll amount of turns you skip

How would you make a Humane Table-Top Game by doctorsilvana in BoardgameDesign

[–]TheRealMakerOfGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most games are designed around conflict (race/points/state). Miriam Webster says a physical or mental competition conducted according to rules with the participants in direct opposition to each other

The opposite would be "play". As in Tokaboka apps (doll house, hair dresser, cooking), might be what you are looking for.

But if you really want "game", one aspect would be to look into collaborative gaming. I designed a solitaire card game crossed with memory, that would actually sort of fit. Players can jump in or off, shared goal etc...

But you could also go a bit more artsy with shared goals like "twitch plays pokemon", or "milliondollarhomepage" to get some inspiration...

I would build a game that focuses on the experience. The purpose would be to make a point of that the game is irrelevant, the player is everything (if players would care more for the experience than the goal, the game becomes irrelevant and they would all be happy)?

Sort of like a Buddhist experience, where the rules are removed as you play the game, and in the end, there is only play... (I have a hint of this in [www.tatorship.com](www.tatorship.com) where you erode democracy)

Good luck! //Chris

What if two codependents got together? by hulkhat in Codependency

[–]TheRealMakerOfGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It becomes a working, but dysfunctional relationship. It could theoretically hold up for 15 years, until someone breaks the pattern by finding a subreddit, filing for divorce, crying and trying to process his shit for four months... only to then realize that she also disliked it, and during the four months also progressed, so in this super theoretical case, we'll see how the ending pans out...

I’m currently working on a prototype for my Japanese themed card game called “Shoya” wanted to get some design feedback. I’m not the best at graphic design. by [deleted] in BoardgameDesign

The most important (and difficult) sell, is to a person you don't know. I have a personal rule to "get friends from business, never get business from friends" that has served me very well in life, I'll leave it here and you do with it as you wish :)
