negative attention seeking is negative, squib. you could do a lot better by actually doing something good for yourself or the community instead of this stuff

Games / Re: Tell Tale Games to file bankrupt, laid off most employees

« on: October 09, 2018, 03:08:18 PM »

i mean, it's still games programming. there are still people that had to write that engine (or whatever they put on top of it) and people who had to write all the tools on the pipeline to make all the superficial stuff easy for art and design teams to work with. the gameplay being simple doesn't mean there aren't mountains of code in the background or in the back room supporting the game or the devs' workflow. the fact that they were able to make these games so quickly is probably a testament to how good their dev tools were. i'd love to see some info from the tech artists at telltale, i bet they did some awesome work there

oh yeah definitely, not riffing on their work. theres definitely a lot of stuff under the surface. its just that most studios do a more mechanics-heavy stuff, which working years at telltale wouldnt give you. they can probably make non-mechanics content like items/art/flavor text/effects/character design/level concept & layout or whatever, theres plenty to do past programming core game mechanics.

yeah i guess my entire first post was wrong now that i think about it again. there's definitely a lot they could do.

"I'd like to work here"
"okay what's your past experience"
"well I worked with telltale on some of the more critically acclaimed games of the last decade or so"
"yeah no sorry you're not hired"

its not as simple as that since the games they worked on were very primarily story based with very little gameplay. if they dont have experience at other studios, they wouldn't have the background needed to join in-progress projects as a coder most likely. maybe as a writer or cutscene editor/creator, but i can't imagine anything else. unfortunately most studios dont prioritize writing, and the cutscenes in TTG were pretty eh tier for the modern era.

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Dangaropa Blockland Server

pretty literally dangonrompa. someone gets set as killer, has to kill someone and hide evidence, and once the body is found people convene in a courtroom and try to find out the killer. if the killer gets witnessed, they can try to kill all the witnesses - there's a minimum time after bodies are discovered before court is convened, and killing the witnesses resets it.

you're allowed self defense, but if you kill in self defense you become the killer. the only real way to get back at the killer without killing them is to ensure you leave behind evidence of the killer by either making the death really bloody/easy to find, or find someone and die in front of them or something.

server was hosted by the SapphireServers group, and the whole thing was coded/created by Jack Noir, who quit bl a while ago.
