Every wondered how nerds played computer games before computers? We used pocket calculators.

@GrantMeStrength We had a "calculator club" in grade school. For the kids not cool enough for chess club.

Kidding, I was in chess club, too.

Thinking about a parser based game. Wondering what kind of rates to budget for 640x480 backgrounds.

@vger @grumpygamer see i'd call that a narrative dark/light path choice

One thing I love about kinetic novels is that really, really incompetent people can make them and they'll be playable.

This is pretty much the only kind of game that can easily be "so bad it's good".

Most other kinds of games, the incompetent devs have to build the systems and interfaces, so the whole thing tends to become unplayable rather than hilarious.

@Craigp I've thought about making a visual novel but I don't know where I'd source the art. Daz3D, maybe, but it seems chiefly for porn.

mcoorlim,
@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@Craigp what's my best option, considering I don't want to disappoint people who are expecting porn due to a lack of porn? (Do not say porn)

Hey if you like I wrote a blog post on the cosmic pre-history of the comics universe. How long will it be accurate? Only Marvel editorial knows for sure!

At a loose end and not sure what kind of project to take up. Should I write another novel? Start a web serial? Write some ? An action RPG or sim game in ? Videos on video game history? A
campaign book?

I need a side project now that I have a day job, to keep me moving, keep me creative.

@lextenebris A while back I was planning a project where I'd play old 80s and 90s game modules solo using a simple d6 oracle, converted to GURPS (simply because that's the system I understood best), and then rewritten as a narrative serial interspersed with asides about the mechanics involved.

mcoorlim,
@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@lextenebris Can you recommend a good journal/blogging game that has some kind of community where journalers read and comment on each others blogs?

mcoorlim,
@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@isaackuo there was a Pathfinder game a few years back that had IF mini-scenarios for puzzles and some interactions.

mcoorlim,
@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@lextenebris I have been trying to come up with a blog-plan so this is an appealing idea on several levels.

there are two wolves inside of you. one wants to make weird as fuck little ditherpunk itch games and the other wants to make a giant sprawling fantasy game with Lore and Worldbuilding

@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

I think it'd be neat to go back and adapt some of my novels into point n' click adventure games, but no way I could do the visuals. I'm capable of low-res stick figures at best.

Well, I say NEW but I made it over a year ago for a now-defunct channel.

Hmm, I'm interested in a game, but the art feels a little creepy.

Normally I'd wave that off, but these days I assume that means it's AI.

I spent weeks building a flexible and expandable loot system only to now realize what I really needed is a simple loot system.

OK, listeners, help me out here... If I started a podcast of me reading some of my old ...

  1. Would that make you happy? Maybe happy enough to part with some coin?

  2. What would be a good title, do you think?

  1. Fuck yes.

  2. Same answer.

Me about the whole Cohost situation right now

i was a woman possessed! i spent about 80% of my time talking about regina, and the other 20% of the time praying for someone else to bring her up so i could talk about her more!

mcoorlim,
@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@ApNudd @PRINCESSINTERNETCAFe my experience was pretty much the same.

What's the Cohost situation? (This is me bringing it up so you can talk about it more)

mcoorlim,
@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@PRINCESSINTERNETCAFe @ApNudd oh god I'm glad I got confused by Cohost and wandered off instead of going all in.

AI writing bots are getting better, but still cannot spin a story around a theme. We should stop them before they improve.

@Langhamian @golgaloth EU just passed legislation restricting generative AI and forcing compliance with EU copyright laws.

Opens them up to international litigation.
