Hah, yeah, I own 50% of a gamedev LLC too. (I'm gonna finish my thing soon, I swear...)Xilef":2zy4jq7h said:
I wouldn't say I have a gamedev company right now. There's a game in production (most definitely), but business at the moment has been in other areas.Perihelion":2x4gavnv said:
Never wanted to actually make my own company but I don't think I had much of a choice considering the situation I was in.

It's funny how sjw send out mixed signals.
Stereotypes are bad, m'kay. Red hair doesn't make you Irish. Germans aren't all blonde.
We really aren't doing people with dwarfism a favor by casting them in roles like Umpa-lumpas and Munchkins.
For that same reason we shouldn't reduce Chinese actors to roles involving kung-fu.
So like, let's cast a Chinese woman as a character that's traditionally a white English man. (Lucy-liu as Dr.Watson in Elementary)
Progressive.
Then we'll cast a UK woman as a character that's traditionally a Chinese man. (Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One in Dr. Strange)
Omg, whitewashing.
Edit: To be safe I should just call The Ancient One Asian since he lives in the Himalayans. Idk how important that distinction really is.
I guess more of the outrage is that his humble servant Wong is still Asian. But from what I know of Dr. Strange (1 cartoon movie) Wong was more of a captain. Nothing like Batman's Alfred.

they just stand there before leaving my world while i get fucking shredded
guys please
what the fuck from are you serious
I've never had this problem but I've only summoned one time. been summoned a bunch though and that's never happened to me.
I just beat the game again with a different character. realized build variety us better achieved in ng+.
overall I thought it was the easiest out of the soul series.

while I heard blue sentinels and dark moons getting screwed out of being summoned, I'm pretty sure watchdogs and Aldrich are working as intended. I agree, it was stupid to have 2 covenants do the same thing (with the same rewards?).
I've only been double invaded one time, I completed the game only getting invaded a handful of time (and I was embered). The Npc invasions this time around were great. There weren't a ton like dark souls 2, and each one was difficult. Tsorg definitely gave me trouble.
I also thought the bosses were good, but ultimately not the best bosses I've seen in any of Miyazaki works (bloodborne). I frames really let you punish bosses, though they got smarter later on with delays in attacks. I really enjoyed the mini bosses they put in between levels, just wished there were more of them.
i think in dark souls 3 the enemy ai is smarter ;though I was able to score an alarming amount of backstabs. it doesn't really mob you with enemies though, if it does they are usually weak mobs anyways. Nothing like dark souls 2 sinners rise.
You know what makes dark souls 3 easy, it's the game's bonfire system and shortcuts. There are bonfires everywhere. And there's always a shortcut to the boss with minimal confrontation. It's so easy to go retry a boss. Nothing like dark souls 2 or 1.
I wish the softcap on magic would be reduced. 60 is just way too high, especially when you beat the game around level 80. It's really not viable.

I must be chronocidal.
Everything I want to do takes so much time. And very few things can be done simultaneously.
Everything I want to do takes so much time. And very few things can be done simultaneously.
The idea is a "Digimon Ver. Mobile" or - more specifically right now - "Digimon Ver. Android".
Some of the ideas;
And then if you get premium (via paying for bits) you unlock these features;
Another pipe-dream idea (which would add significant complexity) is the ability to watch the tournament as a Digimon World style battle in full 3D, camera spinning around, and people could live react or something (I would say and be able to place bets, however Google have an anti-gambling policy and Bandai Namco likely wouldn't want gambling in a Digimon game anyway). Would be very awesome if this could be streamed onto Android TV or Chrome Cast so you see the battle arena on the big screen.
Would be cool to have regional tournaments as well as a global tournament.
So the game would be split between fighting AI (pedometer), fighting your friends (bluetooth, wifi P2P, whatever), fighting local strangers (GPS), fighting to be the best in your country (regional) and fighting to be the best on the planet (global). The regional tournament could be once a week, global tournament could be once a month.
I think I'd want it to be one monster per device, so you would have a more personal connection to it.
I've got loads of other ideas for it too, but the above is basically the major ones. The one thing I'm missing is the longevity factor. How would I keep players interested and how would I expand the game over time? I can imagine someone downloading it for nostalgia and then forgetting about their monster entirely after playing around with it for an hour. Maybe have a collectable card game so the app rewards you for just having it installed over time - and the cards could augment a factor for your Digimon? Kind of a throw-back to Tamers.
Some of the ideas;
- List of previous monsters with their stats
- Tree of monsters achieved
- Online battle tournaments <- With Android Gaming integration so you actually see your profile climbing the rankings
- Digital currency "bits" which you spend to unlock new monster eggs (basically skins) and device shells
- Device shell can "pop out" of app and hang around on the screen whilst you do other things (like YouTube Gaming's pop-out player)
- GPS based game - advertise your Digimon to battle local people in your area and gain extra bonuses for doing this (also creates a heat map of where other players are? Wouldn't want to spread personal information on this, so would keep it anonymous)
- Pedometer based single player - rolls a random value to determine how far you need to travel in the physical world to encounter an AI battle in the game
- Ability to feed monster via Android notification (so when it desperately needs feeding you get a notification and you can hit feed - or ignore) <- These notifications would appear on smart watch
And then if you get premium (via paying for bits) you unlock these features;
- Cloud storage of monsters (send them into your storage, download them onto other devices)
- Set up automatic care plan (X number of points to spend each day on automatic care, so you can dedicate points to keeping it well fed, keeping the weight down, turning off the lights or cleaning up poop)
- Ability to save monsters and revert back to previous monsters

Muscle relaxant + lack of sleep + alcohol = bad idea.
I ended up sleeping on the floor until my "girlfriend" moved me to the bed.
