Wait, who downvoted this? 😅 I’m not mad, I’m just curious as to how a link to an interview could make someone go, “Nope, this is trash. To the pit of Hades with you.”
This is a fantastic article. I’m actually working on a 7th Guest/11th Hour retrospective video (probably because I’ve got Stauf on my brain due to our Kickstarter), and this article is pretty much my go-to reference. I haven’t seen a lot of videos touch on the how’s and why’s of those games — YouTubers seem mostly content with just snarking at the hammy acting and the slow node transitions — and I kinda wanna make a video that explains why that is… while also snarking at the hammy acting and slow node transitions. 😁
Ooh, is there a clever way of "tagging" someone like you just did with me? Or do I have to do it the hard way (i.e. go look up your user profile url and write out the markdown each time)? Just typing @cidney doesn't seem to do what I would foolishly assume it would do...
Ah, uh... turns out I can't upload an avatar. I keep getting a json error. I think it's because my avatar png is too big. I'll think of something later. Not a biggie in my book.
There's a way to cheese the burger minigame in SQ4. If the speed starts getting too fast, go up in the control panel and adjust the game's speed slider. It'll slow the conveyor belt down.
Also, use the arrow keys. It'll make your cursor snap to the ingredients, and hitting the Up arrow makes the cursor follow along with the burger.
