Ok letโs start with the fact that I was wrong. I left out all the non-port NPCs in my calculations and when I included them the total was over 350 characters. What was a hard task just became much harder. Luckily, the lighter tone of Sea of Legends provides some fun options on how to reuse NPCs.
Back to doing some design work on Sea of Legends :) Wrestling with NPC count. Our Adventure Forge authoring tool really handles NPC relationships well, so we want to lean into that. My first cut arrived at 250 unique NPCs, way too many for our budget. So working on how to reduce or combine them
I can show you the scars on YOU to prove that statement wrong :)
Yes, thatโs why Iโm stupid enough to keep starting new game companies :) my math is always too optimistic !
Yes I am sure that SkyNet exists hidden in Excel like the flight sim used to
Ah the horor !
It is good, not the most challenging if you are an escape room pro but great for families and friends. The experience is about 90 minutes long
Thanks - can't wait until a mysterious hole opens up in my schedule to provide the time :)
Sorry no photos - that would spoil Christmas for those we are giving all the cool nerd stuff to :(
Ha - I have endless amounts of old fighter plane kits I've been waiting to hack into Crimson Skies dioramas
Indeed Turkey + Stuffing + Cookies = watching Christmas movies while snoring
Thanks :)
The last several days Iโve been lost in the land of deep spreadsheet doing forecasts. There is a certain joy of working in complex spreadsheets, they develop their own sort of emergent behaviors which can be satisfying in its own strange way.
Yesterday we did the Tomb Raider escape room experience in Seattle. It was a blast, the environments were great and the puzzles were balanced right for the audience they hope to attract. But I have to say that doing an escape room with a family of game designers is always a unique experience :)
At a Nerd Craft Fair today. These things inspire me so much, people are making the most amazing nerd wonderful things. Over the years Iโve bought all sorts of cool tools and kits to bash from, now I just need to find the time to make stuff !
We did and I hope you and yours did as well.
My pleasure - thanks so much for playing / enjoying it :)
Thanks and same to you for the holiday
Thanks so much. Will check it out asap !
Well I hope thatโs true :)
Mike - thanks :)
Thanks :) hope you had a great holiday as well.
