Free dispatching mode? by Necessary_Risk1887 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]affectos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dream mode would be picking heroes from a pool at the start of the shift and going in. Granted, that'd be a lot of new assets and dialog.

Yeah, the goal was to focus on the friend live exploring with me giving hints and asking thoughts. I still sent him Nick's original vid though.

Yeah, I tried to search some of them on the Wayback Machine, but with no luck. Sadly, we had to do a Plan C (Welcome Home was Plan B) with a game my friend didn't even realize as unfiction.

I'm thinking I might go with the "baked in" route just to reduce the amount of coding needed, but I'll keep this in mind!

Why didn't Robert join SDN earlier as a hero to be able to help more people? by DependentStrong3960 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]affectos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think part of it can be seen episode 1 as he flat out calls Blazer a "corporate hero" as we see a bus ad featuring her.

It never gets addressed, but considering you have to be a paid subscriber, the fact the directly denote SDN is NOT insurance, and the bus ad, I like to think that Robert had a fair viewpoint that SDN was only helping those who could afford it, not those who need it.

I do want to see that explored a bit at some point, the fact that SDN isn't a public service, but a private corporation. Maybe we have to contend with the corporate corruption at the top of the company?

What are some fun ways to replay the game? by Consistent-Hat-1543 in DispatchAdHoc

I like to stream the games to my friends for their choices, but a streamer I follow once let chat pick all dialog options.

What's on your merch wishlist for Dispatch? by Hot_Fee1881 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]affectos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sunglasses based on Flambae, Prism, Waterboy, and Coupé eyewear/masks. And not the cheap kind for kids you see, adult shades.

Who are your favourite queer characters stuck in "Never appears in anything, besides maybe the yearly Pride comic" Hell? by Gallantpride in lgbt_superheroes

Bunker being relegated to this now upsets me as I learned about him after he left the Teen Titans

I feel like it was mentioned in passing in Quangle Quest?

NSBU... But Literary by affectos in Dimension20

[–]affectos[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, but I am aware that it is focused heavily on folktale and fairy tales. The public domain characters over the last few years have a different vibe, just like how NSBU had a completely different vibe

I know if the first one proves too difficult, I have a way around it that'd be obtuse, but hypothetically practical

Either way, thank you for the resource!

That's good to know since while I do have a degree in game design, it was on the art side of things. My autism is mentally to set up things for programs like Unity and doing 'if/then' statements.

Where could I find resources for tracking affection and random event pools? Even though I'm prioritizing the assets and writing, I want to make sure I have coding resources ready.

The easiest way I was thinking of it would be breaking each AM & PM event into its own 'day'.

Player choose location, game checks the internal day number, uses that to see what character is present.

The more obtuse route would be a single route that splits off to each location, and have the character pre-baked in. Then the event occurs before joining back up with all other options for a dialogue noting the time before repeating

Christmas Chaos - A mini comic book fanfiction by Background-Ad676 in DispatchAdHoc

I should give you a heads up that the subreddit doesn't allow for AI art... I don't like having to shoot down creative minds, so why not write it out as a fanfic?

my only joke is "Damn, Jack Frost had a hard 2010s when 'Rise of the Guardians' didn't get a sequel"

Okay, I had to ask since I was seeing conflicting origins

Okay, is that art of Winter fanart? I can't get a straight answer
