I REALLY want to enjoy the game but the solo experience is such a brutal slog. @bungie.net @marathonthegame.bungie.net. About level 11 now and 90% exfil fail. Bots should react to taking a whole clip to the head.
This is a twice educated perspective: #Marathon bots are too good. They need to be a little less aware, less bulletspongey and less smart about tracking you down within a building. Just a bit.
Displayfusion, a wallpaper multimonitor manager,was the cause of my no-mouse issue.
That didn’t seem to work unfortunately. There are suggestions to shut down everything with an overlay or screen grab. Will try later.
Will you be posting updates to this account? Can’t play due to mouse frozen in menus, which I see is already being worked on.
#marathon pc big where there’s no mouse in menus - including looting screens. Not a great start.
Dune: negotiations for Arrakis
Star Wars: Dim Forces II
Normal Mario Brothers
XCOM 2: Bar of the Chosen
Minicraft
Slightly diminish a game
Elite:Competent
CoD:DMZ (but without even Ricochet)
If any wants to write a handbook for game dev on how to communicate with and between neuro-divergent and neuro-typical employees that would be super.
Feels like a rougher road b/c this job is a magnet to NDs (whether they know it or not). Silence, meltdowns, over-detail, bluntness, etc.
What are your thoughts on keeping a design change log? Mostly for longer projects where 6 months later you wonder why the sidekick _had_ to be less than 5’. Was that a load-bearing decision?
In 2 minds. Can be more work than it’s worth
Aside from one thing that you think is going to be hard but turns out was far easier than you’d imagined. One. You get one. :).
@mulaney.bsky.social sorry we had to bail early on Saturday mid set. You were fantastic but son was unwell. Yeah he’s 20 but you never stop thinking of them as at sky zone in grippy socks :). We were kinda close to the front, felt all the eyes on us like it was a quality choice.
Every one knows of a finish line they’ve never crossed.
Might be a personal one, might be player/protagonist guidance.
I don’t know what this is but immediately want one!!!
I am delighted to just discover Puzzle Quest got a revitalization. With all the other big titles dropping this season i will defo play Puzzle Quest Immortal ed. for a good chunk of time.
#strangenewworlds “space is cold and dark and full of death” nicely done. No one in a cowboy hat here talking over #1
Kevin j Anderson’s Fellowship of the Ring.
Tom Clancy’s The Martian.
Dodgeball. I was once on a terrible transatlantic flight (10ish hrs) and watching this on repeat got me through it. I’d seen it before, but this was when it became comfort food.
Yay! That said, it’s more fantastic as a result of the player’s input, rather than being more the input itself being better on a cerebral or physical level. One to simmer more on in the grey matter coffee pot.
You know when you have a game idea percolating for a long while and then something else comes out like it… I’ve had one of those darn it, but today I figured a more fantastic version.
I earned my “I built a pc and it turned on first time” merit badge today!
Superman. It’s alright.
Go watch Jurassic park on the biggest screen you can. Highly enjoyable.
Also installed another fan into my pc case and blew out all the day too. I figure it’s not going to reduce the overall heat output much, but anything to have a slightly cooler room thank you very much. 🥵
Today’s page count: 3 1/2. Covered acceptance criteria and efficiency of time. wrapped up one of the golden rules as well as edited a bit in rule #2. #GameDesign #Book
