Flushed out a few more details in the fight system and did a little bit of look development.
-
Nailed it, though, maybe you need to allow his pupils and rosey details to occasionally disappear.

Oh that looks sweet. Good tile set.

I got some new bike parts:

OMG

That's some pretty great looking terrain. Dinosaurs are cool too.

Listening to the discussion of the janky emergent gameplay techniques of early multiplayer FPS, and how they have been polished out of modern games like Call of Duty or Battlefield, or formalized like skiing in Tribes Ascend, and I think your examples are great, but I can provide at least one example that the jank is still out there. Here's a 6 page guide to obscure Chivalry mechanics for example, "dragging is the manipulation of the player view so that your attack lands quicker (accelerated attack), or that it lands slower (delayed attack)." I would imagine with all the early access survival games out there today, all the Minecraft mods the kids are playing, that there is still plenty of weird emergent play styles fostered by niche communities.

Thanks for replying. I was already leaning that direction, I just needed somebody to sound it off of. Cheers! It would be a misunderstanding to interpret this as a game about building, in Project Stonehenge building something really just implies an end goal for the player, and the shenanigans in the middle prove to be the interesting part. Where I think Surgeon Simulator is about an unwieldy control scheme, and Kerbal is about building things, Project Stonehenge will be about moving things. In the prototype you move druids who in turn move a stone. It's bare, it's accessible, the level design is the interesting bit. I have a feeling a future devlog will describe the doctrine of design that presently sits in my head. Thanks for the feedback!

Dang, that's cool.

Yeah, very niche thing, but maybe will end up being a good portfolio stand in or something? Anyways: https://cartrdge.com/spencerwinson

Last I checked Google didn't have a way to let you share your starred (favourited?) locations, which is a real bummer.

I won't tell
-
Very exciting!

I can't understand you through your accent.

Puffins are Auks.

There's an art style, well, really a gimmick, I had thought of doing for a game. I don't want to say much, but today I discovered my girlfriend owns a crystal puffin and it got me thinking I could marry the style and this jam.
-
Wooooohooooo jam time!

The upper limits of technology is a greater philosophical argument than what needs to be addressed when talking about automation. See, I'm not sure you could make the argument that a Taco Bell couldn't be automated with today's technology. As I understand it, most fast food has it's large component ingredients produced in off site factories, and it's the job of the fast food employee to heat up and assemble those ingredients. I think it would be well within the reach of today's technology to turn a Taco bell kitchen into an automated Taco Bell mini factory. The threat of automation isn't really a question of possibility, but a matter of how long it takes today's tech to be miniaturized and generalized to a point where the Taco Bell mini factory is the obvious choice over a human.

I think given that the plink plunk is paired with some stupidly dramatic text which is then followed up by a scene that ends with Kristen Wiig getting slimed, the editor of the trailer is using the plink plink in a way that is intended to be overbearing. You get an intentionally bad nostalgia play, followed up by the actual nostalgia play of a funny person getting covered in goop.

I think it's pretty obvious that present societies don't make the choice as black and white as you describe it. Our societies to this point know that the nuanced truth lies somewhere in the middle. I think as people have pointed out before that a mincome program better compensate for individual needs, how much food, what food, where to live. The single payer (hope i'm using that right) systems we have now, health care (sorry USA), education, municipal services create an even field that serves everyone equally. How far do you take your point clyde? In the automated future are we all on the government meal plan? Taco Tuesdays? You're advocating affordable housing, but in our automated future how do i afford housing when my income is zero?
-
Yeah programming is creative in a way that is not about expressive but more about creating bespoke solutions (generally).
-
I find this to be a really incredible effect. In places with public health care an 8.5 drop in hospital visits translates directly to less government spending.
-
I think it's obvious enough with the privilege given to people by their race, gender, and economic status that the world we live in is hardly a simplistic meritocracy. Additionally, if we take a look at the case study I borrowed the portmanteau from, though the results are a bit complicated, the most notable people dropping out of the labor market are mothers and teenagers, who instead of working pursued child rearing and education respectively. I think, like you're saying about the additional rewards from work, people are inherently compelled to do something. Mincome will be a huge change for the hearts and minds of people.
-
Yes, I have misrepresented your point. I think your argument was specifically that mincome isn't automatically a simple solution, but is it fair to posit that you think it is as inherently flawed as current social security?
-
Unless i'm misunderstanding what's being said, I must agree that "it's complicated" and "current social security is broken" are real bad reasons to not examine a problem.
