NOOOOO I MISSED IT??? 😭😭😭😭

We make games, and people play them, and that feels like a sort of counterpoint in the sense that one cannot exist without the other, they are in conversation with each other. 4/

Here’s a preview of my art for the short story “CYCLES” from the upcoming comic SCATTERED FUTURES. Which will be launching on Kickstarter soon.

"They dug to deep" as a convienent corporate cover up perhaps?

I strongly maintain the events of the Dutch Revolt would make for a great fantasy story

I mean it starts with The Iconoclasm!? A rebellion against a huge empire (Spain) that becomes a proxy war for proto-colonial powers (England), to become the first Republic (in Europe)? Great stuff

I am so over generic fantasy as a theme and increasingly find it problematic. It is certainly often dull and has nothing to say, let alone an original idea to its name (at least in board games, for the most part).

However, I can't deny its still a solid bet in this current market for tabletop games

I feel like Halo: Comabt Evolved really cemented into the modern shooter that you must always have

Pistol/Shotgun/Assault Rifle/Sniper

And seemingly everyone completely forget that Halo has always had The Needler, which was such an Unreal Tournament kind of weapon

Also its possibly coded as the target being killed instantly, but they are just locked into a very long animation (we'd have to boot it up and see if you can still kill a target after they have been chummed to be sure).

ESSENTIALLY they are stunned and then there is delayed spike damage.

But it's just such a wild animation to convey how this damage is being dealt! A sniper rifle might mechanically do the same thing, but it's not nearly as fun (to me, anymore).

I wanna talk more about the shark gun (CW: blood, innocent bystanders, shark)

The way it works is you shoot chum all over them from a blunderbuss and then a shark jumps out of the ground.

I feel like board games lean (too) heavily on fantasy genres and get goofier with weapons as a result. They're also at least usually mechanically different from one another.

Sci-fi and Modern TTRPGs somewhat fall into the trap of psitol/shotgun/assault rifle/sniper weapons too

Like in board games too?

Hey I don't know who in games development needs to hear this,

but I am sick of guns y'all

I don't ever need to fire a mid-range assault rifle in a game ever again.

Did you know about the Saint's Row gun that shot bait on people and they'd get eaten by a shark?

More like that pls

Tell me all about your casettes right now!!

Shit I have also never played Max Payne 2, my 9th ever purchase on Steam.

I really staggered out of the gate haphazardly right away...

I remember getting the Orange Box Set for Christmas and that's when I first got Steam

Mafia II - the sequel to Mafia which remains one of my favorite games ever - was the 3rd game I bought.

I have never played Mafia II

It took until my 3rd ever game on Steam to start my list of unfinished games.

when I have a second I’m gonna try and do a longer post about the making of this trailer… we worked on it off and on for about 2 years (!)

Seems like website is down due to high traffic so I did it a different way

THE GASP I JUST GUSPED

It really had so much potential. I still love the set and costume design

As much as I think any TV programme could raise a child, I was raised by Red Dwarf. RIP Rob Grant

It's got enough room for me & the whole squad ⚔️
