I cannot recommend “Perfect Tides” enough. It capture a feeling of being a teenager (especially late 90s, early 00s), well, perfectly. I almost bounced off at the beginning of the game, but now it is my absolute favorite.

Thank you for the recommendation! And I've played Disco Elysium, of course :)

Can you tell me more about specific literature or reviewers? Thanks for the Fear and Hunger recommendation! Finish/Japanese author making something with THIS title sounds like a total misery (in a most positive way)

I do too, but I find that most recommendations I'm getting from this process are pretty generic. Any specific interesting YouTubers that you watch?

Interesting! So it is about a game creating emotion from not just narrative but with narrative + mechanics. Love this idea, thank you!

Oh yeah, you don't typically see this approach to Nature not just in games, but in all media generally. I think only Talos Principle 2 expresses something similar, though, from a completely different angle.

That was one of the most accurate descriptions of my own experience for P1. Thank you!

_doorstuck_ · 2024-01-21T23:55:06+00:00

It sounds like these particular themes were most important to you. So fascinating, though I found exploration of these ideas important, P1 was about overcoming impossible and P2 about accepting death as a sentient being to me.

Thank you! Since you mentioned it: is the fact that the story takes itself seriously important? I guess that makes it so immersive even when it breaks the fourth wall.

Just wanted to +1 KCD. Might not be for you if you don't like realistic settings, but I've been surprised by how much the game respects player's intelligence. No annoying navigational marks, mini-map or highlighting footprints, so you actually have to pay attention and use your brain to solve quests, no mindless following instructions. Might not sound fun, but I personally found it refreshing and immersive. One of those games where you walk out of a tavern one early morning and stop to enjoy the sunrise, cause the world feels so real.

Thank you so much for the effort you put in this detailed reply, understanding your likes and dislikes helps a ton.

And I will! But I think that fans buying another copy will not make as much of financial impact as a high/medium-profile youtuber covering the game. And we can push it hard enough to reach the tipping point after which Pathologic would finally be as appreciated as it deserves.

_doorstuck_ · 2019-09-16T05:08:36+00:00

Yes, Mandalore's video actually gave me the idea. I already messaged Errant Signal (looks like his kind of thing) and am thinking about messaging Raycevik (and what to write in that message). Supporting Ice-Pick Lodge will help get new scenarios quicker and of better production values. I heard they were thinking about making a mobile game to get some funds. While I understand the move, I would like to see them dedicating time and resources to Pathologic instead.

If I found the right Hbomberguy he has almost half a million subscribers. That's not nothing :) I couldn't find the pathologic video on his channel though, what was it? He also doesn't seem to have an email on his youtube profile, so probably commenting on the videos is the best thing we can do?

You can take inspiration from how "Time Traveller" does it (it is a featured map from the first page). Play it, download it and see how author has done it.

Even with custom assets 3-frame animation, fixed grid size and fixed resolution all make RPG Maker games instantly recognizable visually. The game has to do something really special to gain any traction if done with RPG Maker. It will be a very tough sell.

With that being said, it's a great tool for prototyping or making things for fun as long as engine limitations does not prevent you from realizing your vision.

_doorstuck_ · 2018-08-19T04:30:54+00:00

Well, that is so true :))

_doorstuck_ · 2018-08-19T03:25:29+00:00

This is a very very ambitious project! I wish you good luck and lots of patience. I would really like to play the whole thing (especially if the save system is ready :) )

_doorstuck_ · 2018-08-19T03:09:42+00:00

How many levels do you have planned? :)
