I think this is a challenge that has to be solved top-level, as a design philosophy thing. Look at the recent Zelda games and how they handle things interacting through a "chemistry" system as they call it. If you start from considering how all the different pieces interact instead of designing them separately as their own systems, it keeps everything more cohesive.

The new control scheme is such unplayable dogshit, what were they thinking?

>>45178
That people who got filtered by the old control scheme would be more likely to buy the game if everything took a million clicks to do, and they were right.

The dev team at the engineering firm I worked at designed an application for the engineers to use which had a bunch of smart keyboard shortcuts, and documents outlining how to use them, and nobody uses them, instead choosing to do everything with mouse. So this is true. Also I think a lot of people never use keyboard shorcuts because they never learned how to type in school, and so, for them, keyboard shortcuts are actually slower than using the mouse, because they have to search around the keyboard for keys they can't feel out from muscle memory… another thing that's very depressing is the generational gap in designing everything around PC vs. designing everything around smartphone and tablet.

>the soyshit game is infested with righteous

Whoa… Who would have thought

>>48530
I meant rightoids, fucking autocorrect

>Yeah, its going to be one of those games you can watch cutscene compilation of on youtube and lose nothing compared to playing it.
>>48480
>Isn't that like every big game. FF7 ruined the industry.
Rockstar games have a lot of in-gameplay story moments though, namely like conversations while driving, during missions and stuff, and some random context-sensitive stuff, so you might actually miss some stuff if you're only watching cutscenes instead of watching a full playthrough

>GTA VI soundtrack just dropped
>It's a collab betweenffucking JUSTICE and Gesaffelstein

Holy fuck. Game of the decade is unironically here.

>>48519
CP2077 also had an insane soundtrack and it was boring as fuck in the end

>>48484
>namely like conversations while driving
Im countung those as a cutscene. These things do tend to be included in cutscene compilations anyway.

Video games are more childish than TV and movies which were more childish than novels which were more childish than oral traditions.

If China were a revolutionary socialist state it would be producing media about the yellow man's burden of spreading socialism across the world instead they make nationalist bullshit like everyone else.

dont underestimate iw like this, iw back in the cod 4 days was willing to show the usa fucking things up so badly that the end result was a nuked middle east and a completely destroyed us invasion force.

Also there was zakhevs speech that talks about what the west did to russia and shit.

It's the closest thing you're going to find that's coming out soonish from China. You guys do know about it right? I'm surprised no one mentioned it.

Games being efficient propaganda delivery is real, but for me vidya is mostly about chill sandbox time. Lately I've mostly been playing Minecraft on my phone - survival mode runs great in short sessions. https://minecrftapkdl.com/

Out of curiosity, are you a guy who had a meltdown over romance in GTA6 thread?

>>48514
No. I have literally never played a GTA game in my life and have no interest in GTA6.

>>48515
PS: Don't you play as a criminal doing crimes in GTA games? Why would it even have romance?

>>48517
When I think of active career criminals, I definitely don't think of romance.

>Social Democracy on the leftist board
classic

this game sucks because you can't just kill all the nazis

Today, Social Democracy is born

>>48271
This is the future Lassalleans want.

>>48271
We love to see it

Folks I'm starting to think this Rockwell guy is kind of a chud

organizing is a lot of socializing so pull the social links system from persona for the more important networks and pull the demon dialogue system for talking to new recruits

>>48290
yeah, you got the right idea. tbh it would be strikingly similar to any of the cozy management games, so it's not an appealing concept, at least not how i conceive it in my head.

>>39408
Make it a parody where the pesky proles are constantly trying to do total insurrection and your job as a union bigwig is to pacify them and keep a good level of accord with the bosses. When you win the game, you get to marry the bosses daughter.

OP you have a good idea and a lot of good suggestions in this thread as well. I'm looking forward to playing your game

>>48327
honestly … lmfao

Anyone got any good recommendations for free courses/resources on creating 3D assets? Have some base familiarity with modelling/texturing etc from ages ago, but want to get back up to speed so I can make my own assets

>>48481
sounds interesting. it's hard to say whether anything that takes place in a highly optimistic future "holds up" politically. just make it and don't worry about that. quote kinda related.

>>48485
It's interesting, I was aware of this quote and I did think I agree with it, but by its logic videogames made for propaganda purposes to shape what gamers think about genocides in the middle east have not just been much of a custard pie sadly. So by the direct reading of that quote, yes a lot of art won't stop anything, but a lot of art over a lot of time will shape what people think is normal. I feel like that is important, and also in some ways a little hopeless

Here it is on an enchanted phone.

Last post from one of them.

I want to go full heretic. Although from what I heard heretic includes the standard selfish evil choices, which I dont find very fun or interesting.

>>48195
wrong the tau are a parody of feudalism not slavery. it's a caste system not a slave system.

>>48217
>it's not feudalism because feudal lords didn't indoctrinate their subjects
aren't you forgetting about the whole divine right of kings, inherently noble bloodlines, and other wonderful lies that feudalism pushed on everyone?

>>48157
No, it wasn't. If you like the Company of Heroes (or Warhammer Dawn of War 2 ) style of RTS its pretty solid. The only problem was there wasn't enough long term support and content. What Ithink undid them is what happens to most RTS devs in the past decades - they decided to focus on competitive PVP tournament garbage first of all. This also doomed Stormgate and many others and that one actually had SC2 style Co-Op from the start but they let it rot etc…but I digress. Comp PVP is only of interest to a handful of hardcore players (and these usually are actively hostile to growing your userbase) whereas campaigns, co-op, custom games and the like are way more desirable, especially for a new game with a new setting

Iron Harvest's setting and story was a unique alt-history WW1 dieselpunk take, but they were working with small kickstarter resources and because they didn't keep growing the playerbase with the aforementioned it didn't get the kind of long term support it could have used. There's a reason that even the Age of Empires series for instance is adding more campaign and co-op stuff and they're doing much better. Iron Harvest isn't bad, but it would have benefited from more campaigns, co-op special missions and standard campaigns etc. Its still worth a play on sale for the campaigns if you like the mechanics/settings, its just a pity it didn't get more.

By comparison, DoW4 has a huge amount of buzz behind it given the interest in all DoW1 and 2, which both had significant DLC and modding expansions alike. We'll see where it goes but I hope for the best.
