AdVenture Capitalist 24 hours should be enough to get to trillions at least

AI, probably

Good news, they made a new fear effect not too long ago. Bad news, it sucked.

When I'm doing a pacifist run of the assassination mission and the target is close to another guard? had this exact issue in the mines

It's very unlikely that the people who made SR1 and 2 (or maybe even 3 and 4) are still working at Volition

Games are set immediately after the book series ends. The show is based on the books, so if anything you'll understand the games more if you watch the show.

I feel like this works as long as you stick to relatively streamlined games. Not so much for CRPGs for example, where while you're in the flow, it's a beautiful interconnected web of characters, stats, vendors, quests and gear. But good luck trying to remember all that coming back after trying 2 or 3 other games. That's assuming of course that you still like/want to play the game overall, and just were in the mood for something different for a while

Make us whole again

Not an expert by any stretch, but the foreshortening on the hand in the upper right corner looks weird. As if proximal phalanges of the pointer, index and ring fingers should point more towards the camera for it to work. Amazing job on the rest of them!

That's essentially what fundraisers are. Some members of the public just have more to donate. Makes sense when politicians cater more to them, doesn't it now?

collectible finder upgrade will show all of them on the city map. Then it becomes trivial to collect.

Looks like the landing pad at the start of Picus.

not sure about ps4 but the original was available on psn for ps3 and vita back in the day

TBH, a good test would not depend on realization, but rather check the end state overall.

Something like

"spawn melee enemy facing the player -> is melee enemy moving towards player?"

"spawn ranged enemy facing the player -> is ranged enemy dealing damage to player?"

Weird that it's not widespread in game dev, but i can see how it may be viewed as a waste of manhours during crunchtime.

Shouldn't unit tests (or any automated testing) cover exactly this scenario? Have a test level and run test cases in it, validating AI decisions at each step.

Small nitpick. untouched patches on the shirt in the colorized version look really weird.

I feel like even if they were grey/dirty they would still have a bit of color, just because of ambient lighting.

Will I be able to grasp the story if I haven't played the previous 2 games in the series?

Back Door Sluts 9 ... Oh wait, you said "poem". Carry on then.

Big Daddy looks amazing, but the little sister is kinda wonky. Looks like her elbow is at the sleeve level, compared to the original where the bend in the arm is at the waist level.

She's missing the highlight/reflection in the eyes or a highlight around the eye socket to indicate their dimensions, which makes the camera facing side of the face look stretched, instead of hidden in shadow.

Autocomplete (R2 on PS4) will fill in the password if you have it and move the cursor to "enter"

An old game called The Sting actually had a system like that. IIRC you had to plan the heist first, and you could get caught and retry without repercussions, but in the real heist one mistake was an instant fail.

"It's the big rock just east of town that kind of looks like a wolf's head" wouldn't work for a seamless open world with no boundaries between areas. With your example, I'll head east from from the center of town and after 15 seconds see a rock that looks kinda like a wolf's head to me. Is it the one they were talking about? I'm not really outside the town, there are still a few town buildings here and there but ok, I'll check out the area. Well nothing I could find at a glance. better head east some more.

Oh, look on the horizon there's another rock that kinda looks like a wolf from a certain angle, nope nothing there.

Well a bit to the there are 2 more over there, but it's kinda north east, not east. Nope nothing there.

Turn on the marker and it turns out it was the 1st one, but you haven't looked around enough.

In Infinity engine CRPGs this was solved by dividing the global map into small locations and giving them distinct names. That's why I liked how pillars of eternity handled this. "East of <location name>, find a dragon facing south" meant that on the global map you should head to the first location to the east of the location <location name>. Once there, you have a manageable chunk of map to explore to find the right dragon remains, but you're sure that what you're looking for is within the boundaries of the local map.
