Consume me, goddammit! Some personal thoughts on how to help player to get into the habit of using consumables within games Hello hello! Recently I have been playing Elden Ring and been enjoying it quite a bit. Yes, the โ€ฆ

Hey there! I've analysed some games that I have played and wrote down things on how to encourage the player to use consumable items! marantis.dev/2025/09/06/c...

After bouncing off them a few times I've managed to get into : Steven Erikson's Mazalan series of books.

It's interesting how often a home-brew RPG world helps define a rich setting. (Also see Disco Elysium and many others)

You can commandeer Security Service squads of your Proxy Corporation to help you on missions issued by them.
Use that powerful tool wisely!

After every mission, you can compare your capture results with our NPC recruits. They bring vibrant reactions, banter, and ultimately breathe more life into our overworld! #foreheadchipgame

I've spent *years* researching 3D Platformer Cameras in hopes of making Slime 64's camera "not terrible."

In this thread, the White Cylinder is the Camera Target (slightly above the player!), and the Orange Cones represent the "vertical dead zone" where the camera won't follow player movement.

one of my favorite things in the world is that six sided gaming dice have remained in use and almost entirely unchanged for millennia -- right down to the pip placement.
