Interactive Fiction Anonymous 12/20/19 (Fri) 22:29:10 No.808 [Reply]

Sushies into Interactive Fiction? I'm once again looking into it, and I also want to write some.
I like the idea of making a virtual world to explore. I also like it as a medium for worldbuilding. Then there is also it's value as a literary medium. Like a step further from traditional linear storytelling (not to diminish the value of it of course).
Along these lines I ask you, do you have any preferred genre or style of IF?
One specific I'm wondering about is the distinction between a short story with a clear impact and carefully crafted to deliver that impact, or perhaps a long and involved story with several branches on an open world?
There's so much variation here that I'll probably be bringing up more questions in the future. In the mean time feel free to bring out your own ideas, and for those who actually do write, let's get your thoughts on design.
Also, What is your favorite game? Advent? Zork? Hitchhiker's? I'm a big fan of Suspended though I haven't by far made much progress…

So, I ended up going on IFMud and asking the residents there, and from my description they knew right away which game I was talking about. The text adventure I lost that I really liked was called "Losing your Grip" by Stephen Granade. Highly recommend. https://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=folz7olvvczasp88

Been having a go at Anchorhead recently, really improves the mood to add a backing soundscape, it's set in a rainy coastal town so this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppYmntFVY3g ) fit really well. Haven't gotten very far, but what I've seen I like, only gotten stuck a tiny bit, I'm not very proficient at adventure games so most times I try them out I tend to do so. The good atmosphere in this one is keeping me motivated to keep at it without looking at any hints or guides though.

I want to write a text game where you're in charge of fixing a malfunctioning spaceship that is drifting through space. Half of the game would happen in the empty corridors and rooms of a dark and silent ship humming with the sound of machines, finding missing pieces and so on, the other half would take place in a console trying to "debug" what is wrong with the different systems of the ship.
I should probably use inform, though I'd also like to write it in a lisp language.

e-sports and commentary Anonymous 03/24/19 (Sun) 20:50:19 No.671 [Reply]

A few years ago I smoked a lot of pot and thus found great entertainment in commentated professional gaming. The way commentators direct your attention and point out important things or just give background information on the players, maps, strategies and so on is really captivating and can enhance the experience of the game a lot.

When it comes to games I haven't played myself, a good commentator, giving explanations on game mechanics and meta, can completely shift my view on the action and appreciation of skill involved. This is prominently in speedrunning the case, where the beauty of tricks or glitches often only comes to shine with the knowledge of how to archive them.

What are your favorite e-sports?

For starters I recommend this post-match analysis of a game between Rapha and Cooller in Quake with Rapha himself explaining everything.

The tf2 competative scene absolutely sucks because the format is fundamentally broken, the scene is dominated by basically just one team and has been forever, and the meta is incredibly stale with very little will to experiment. Nonetheless, I think it can be one of the most thrilling esports with highly pog moments.

I'm playing around with Open Surge; an open source Sonic-clone/game engine.
I really dig how the physics feel, and the game is very easy to modify, so I've been trying my hand at doing some game design. Right now I'm still just testing out how to make and apply assets, but it seems writing new mechanics and interactions will be pretty easy when I get to it.

I've been playing a lot of Cyberpunk 2077. While it's definitely a flawed game, it's nowhere near as bad as I heard it was before I got it (I like to pick up "bad" games when they go on sale and check them out for myself) If you're interested in the game I would say get it, but keep in mind that it's not perfect and the "100% redeemed!" people are kinda lying imo.
something that I thought was really neat about the game but is something of a spoiler is that the main plot sort of psychs you up into thinking the game is about making it big in night city before they drop the real themes of the game on you, which is about accepting death as a part of life, what defines identity, and what it means to live and die within an uncaring society where life is cheap.

To be honest, it has been a lot easier to figure out monster patterns. I wouldn't say it makes the game easier. As far as streamlining, whether or not it makes or breaks the game is dependent on your preferences. If anything, the first real problem I ran into was the amount of monsters at launch being so small,thankfully, combat is fun enough for me to not care about what i'm fighting, as long as i'm fighting.

Non-violent games Anonymous 02/17/20 (Mon) 20:08:41 No.830 [Reply]

Some stuff happened to me recently, and lately I've found I do not enjoy violent games anymore. I just go to a bad place if I spend too long killing virtual people. This includes the "non-lethal" violence of mercilessly beating the shit out of people, or forcing them to take sleepy-time drugs against their will.

So let's talk about games that are non-violent, or at least have interesting non-violent gameplay options.

Thief 2 immediately comes to mind. Yeah, you can bean people in the head with a truncheon, but that's not at all required to finish the game (I think). Feel free to correct me.

OG Mirror's Edge is also a really good one. I think the art is beautiful, and I really like running the levels over and over and over trying to do things slightly faster than the last time. I guess this is how racing games are in general, though I haven't played many beyond Trackmania Squared.

Funnily enough, I tried to play Asscreed II non-violently: just focusing on the collectibles, touring the cities, learning about all the history and architecture, not killing anybody. Unfortunately, since I didn't already have a post-story save file on hand, the violence required to advance the plot and see new areas kind of burned me out and killed the whole experience.

Viva Pinata. It's a game about attracting living pinatas to your garden with plants, terrain, scenery or other pinatas. The game has some child-friendly violence with predators hunting prey, or smacking an unwanted visitor with a shovel, but they explode into treats when their health is depleted and reform themselves outside your garden perimeter.
