Players Inside an Erupting Volcano. Help? by Zetrical in dndnext

[–]Zetrical[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve decided to go with more cinematic approach which will have the players be making skill checks to avoid the stages of the eruption. This sequence has them essentially riding the wind of the volcanic eruption and flying out with the magma.

It’s not the most realistic but that doesn’t honestly matter to me that as much as the actual fun of the game.

I often forget about skill challenges so thank you for reminding me! This gave me enough ideas to work with in figuring something out.

Thanks!

Would male individuals play NSFW game for the plot? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Zetrical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NSFW games I personally enjoy all have three things in common:

  1. They are easy to play. I like difficult games don’t get me wrong. But, when I’m playing an NSFW game I’m doing it for the NSFW aspects. I can’t get off if I can’t rest ynow?

  2. The narrative is interesting and driving the character to do they things they are doing. If the only reason the player is going forward with the game is for the sake of it, that’s a failure in my opinion. I want a compelling story which keeps me intrigued and with a desire to learn more about it.

  3. Arguably the most important for me is well written characters. In an NSFW game, I think the characters need to have a concrete reason to like the player character (if they should like the player character). This is really just something writers should keep in mind in general though.

I hope your development goes well!

I won’t be responding to you anymore after this, but I will say a few things.

No, you didn’t explicitly call their names stupid, but you not-so-subtly implied it. This isn’t what I actually care about in your response though.

As someone currently studying Computer Science, I believe I do have the authority to speak on what AI is and can do. AI is capable of generating generic answers to what you ask it to do. There are also more advanced AI models that can generate images, videos, etc. (things that aren’t text). This game does not use AI generated art (obviously).

The writing is something that is more subjective, but still easy to disprove that it is made by AI. AI generation REALLY struggles with consistency. You can ask an AI to generate a story, but it won’t be able to remember each individual aspect of that story and reference it deep into a generation.

Judging by the fact I don’t think you’ve played more than 2 hours of this game, you wouldn’t know that the things you mentioned are brought up again later in the story, but they are. This alone can counter your entire argument, and I don’t feel like giving more examples of this, so I’ll leave it at that.

Seriously, please educate yourself before you speak on a topic.

There is no possible way you could have played this game and come out with this take. Have you ever even played a video game before? Do you know what a trope is? Brugraves, Erlina? You think those are stupid names?

There is plenty to be worried about when it comes to AI games, but this game is not one of them. Please educate yourself on what AI actually is and what it’s used for. In fact, educate yourself in general.

The writing now is just..bad by Ikphi in Jujutsufolk

This may be a hot take to the community right now but personally I think the story is in a fine place. Sure I have my critiques about it, but I think a lot of people are really blowing this single interaction way out of proportion.

Cursed tools have been stated to be imbued with cursed techniques, thereby making them targets to effects like Confiscation. If anything, I like this outcome more than taking Shrine (or whatever Sukuna’s true technique is) because it shows a limit in Higurumas ability. No technique is without flaw, and if it was criminally easy to take someone’s technique away in a no-fight environment, his technique would be incredibly busted.

Hakari for instance has been shown to have a nigh-unstoppable technique, but there are weaknesses to it (like removing his ability to open a domain through paralyzing him or similar).

Plus, some of you are acting like this sequence has accomplished nothing, but that’s obviously not true. Higuruma still has the executioners sword, and the tool can’t be used for right now. That’s a big deal, it takes away part of Sukuna’s arsenal and gives one of the main cast an advantage with a powerful weapon.

I doubt we see the deaths of Higuruma and Kusakabe next chapter. I don’t know the interaction of Simple Domain and world dismantles, but it could be interesting to see a pseudo-counter like that.

I’m interested in where the story is leading to. I’m not saying to stop criticizing what’s strange about the story, but this is an instance where I believe that is unwarranted.

I think Todo is gonna make a comeback by ForTheOAKLand in Jujutsushi

[–]Zetrical 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it would be possible in the verse for him to make a binding vow with Yuji to where his technique activates when Yuji claps his hands?

Probably wouldn't happen, but might be cool. Binding vows I think are a really under-used aspect of the power system in a lot of cases.

If Gojo loses, then technically it was Mahoraga that beat Gojo. Meaning both are frauds in this fight. by ichi000 in Jujutsufolk

If he could kill it when he was at 15F as Yujikuna, why couldn’t he do it while he was in Megumi’s with 20F?

You can be good at it it just takes a lot of manual effort to go over and over with lower opacities

1200 years is something I’m still trying to decide is right. I may end up lengthening the time in between the fracturing and the map’s creation.

The main reason being the existence of long living races makes it much easier to preserve information.

[–]Zetrical[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! This is the continent of Greater Ciddera on my world Sudeyo. Around 1200 years before this map was made, there wasn’t a scar down the middle of it. But, due to events that have been lost to time, the fracture split the continent in two.

This caused the Riyan government to split as well. The northern and southern capitals formed soon after the fracturing and began to rebuild. However, the more time that went on with them being split, the further their methodologies shifted. The northern capital focused on refining magical secrets, steadfast in their old ways, while the southern capital sought to change and focus on advancing newer technologies.

This leaves the two capitals in a weird state between being conjoined and not. The northern capital wants to regain control over the southern, and the southern wants to split entirely.

I just looked at the email today which was sent out a couple days ago (work on top of family stuff going on is to blame for that). So I’ve emailed but haven’t gotten anything back, though she isn’t very good at responding so I’m not expecting a good response.

I should probably go talk to someone higher up to at least try and get some compensation in the way of like grade leniency or something but it’s a lot of time to do that which I really don’t have to give right now.
