harnessing something as destructive as the First Flare, from a supernatural source, and patenting it as a singularity from many). It's all built around survival and finding empathy in a world that almost spiraled into suicide, while good people still die or break down. It's a hope story in a way.

Another franchise that does the vulnerability fantasy aspect that well is Lobotomy Corporation's. You'd need a lot of time to check it properly, but it somewhat inverts TLD's 'loss of power' through mother nature with a grimdark, supernatural dystopia (think about baad actors actually ->

Mechanics per square kilometer are actually a thing now?

At one point if you wanted to achieve complex game AI and pattern sets via a language model, assuming you grow enough as a studio to cost your own data center and agent training, you would consider it?

Project Zomboid is complex enough as a second life game to test things on it for example.

My alcohol-deprived ex husband asking what I've cooked for him for the 49th time: 🐇🥀

I'm thankful that Last of Us wasn't an example of a game franchise in the early 2000's. Gabe and Carmack set everything up to accomodate for the rest later.

I've seen something about installation size (and 'other' things adding to it) being proportionatal to pricing. Has someone talked in-depth about how explorable world size should be proportional to how much mechanics you'd need implemented for long term game/walk sessions?

I mean, you might still have time to apply for prime minister after episode 5.

*correction: at least about 10 million users being around for this market and ready to grab on something at full price or early editions.

take them to implement or fix things. If the game is fundamentally too flawed or plain/stretched for first timers it will be mildly fine as YT material or proof of concept for talks. Something like No Man's Sky survived because of its team leaning by good values and Beth used SF as ground for CE2

Usually irrelevant to the tens of millions already supporting any possible model of income that keeps gaming economy afloat by buying and soon leaving stuff in their libraries.

For those who are picky and tamper around a game it's often by knowing the scope of the dev studio and how long it will->

I was referring to that survey from 2018.

SL2 for Stalker 2 in those texts. And yeah, they do got that roadmap alongside improvements. That multiplayer they mentioned seems to be deathmatches only, so I'd be curious if they would do an open world co-op in a 3rd or self-contained game.

Wasn't Blackfrost's also going to be its own game once?

but I wouldn't really stick anymore to stalker even with monthly drops and QOL updates. A lot of room for improvements from GSC, but for players it would be mostly QOL things than extras from there.

Also TLD as it is has been working more like a Fallout and Zomboid. Second-life-like and very open.

to see what you left without exploring (which is usually a lot...), but the fundamental design makes it more of a single experience where you're idealized to move on for more IP variety. Aesthetics and systems are already huge enough in SL2 to opaque FO4's FPS aspect which is a 1st immersion aspect,

Because of how I tend to play Fallout 4 (fundamentally still a fallout and mods often stay true to the canon/heights) I can recycle a lot of content and mod more to it intertwine altogether. My problem with SL2 and even something like RDR2 is that it's a full package that you come back into just ->

We can still have robo-hookers!

The clankers:

I think the best usage of genAI I've seen is in text roleplay chats. It's definitely still very behind in prepping up media and worlds within long term memory and setting context, but the curve might be just as good as people wanting second life experiences in games with advanced AI and immersion.

For them it just seems easier to give up in bringing closure to anyone as people seem to alienate/fragment each other more than ever to even bother - let alone themselves and whatever they're legally bound to lol.

Hypocrisy is just so specific at times.

And this is where unrelated comes along:

Yeah. The general environment has the old feel of something like Fallout NV (15 year old game) and a bunch of assets have some low quality and texture loading problems. The aesthetic and theme is peak ngl.

It should even have the budget for dubs lol

GTA 6's content and density VS the evolution of RAGE after RDR2. Seeing a game that may be 4 or more times bigger in scope and content than red 2 and all stuffed into the base PS5 feels quite scary

I can't really get the difference between outsourcing and working with other branches of a (big) studio. Idk how many people would've been in charge of RAGE 9 dev while others would've been assigned to art and programming, but that's a pretty gigantic number which should show the scope of ->

Wintermute Predux 3rd person camera -> Wintermute Animated Cutscene -> BLACKFROST (prototype & in-engine teaser trailer)

TLD is an isolated scenario where the art style had to morph to fit a different type of environment and consistency - It's been around long enough for people to keep liking it, warm up to it or just stay biased.

It'll be interesting to see how BF handles it when it's been long enough by then.

Photorealism and people just preferring it as a standard on anything that's 3D oriented is still a tricky topic for me to wrap up. I'll gladly take something like the OUTLAST games since they're an obvious example of photorealism used as a medium for a based-on-a-success and horror storyline

* 11.500+

It still hasnt gone down from 11k lol

Project Zomboid (wind and fog). For being an isometric 2D game it does good enough in packing some more density and dynamism to the climate and lighting conditions in that game
