Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

[Roguey]

As far as we know you can mix all the clan powers and outfits freely and we'll have to see if gender or anything else really does make a difference at all...

I think Tim was on the money when he said the video was an ink blot test.

 

[Infinitron]

This might be good:

I talk about the problem of "handholding" the player.

 

[Infinitron]

Sink or swim:

I talk about how, if you truly want to understand something, you have to go deep. You can't just wade in the shallows.

You have to go balls deep, right Tim???

 

[Infinitron]

I answer some viewer questions, including:
When in your time of game development have you 'broken the rules'?
If you had to do a non-RPG genre, what would you most like to do? Or, if you had to do a different type of RPG, what would you do different than they usually are?
What are your favorite characters you've seen in games?
What is your take on mundane and grounded settings in games?

Tim would've liked to do a space exploration game with procedural generation.
DAGGERFALL IN SPACE?
Could've been interesting to see.

He also likes Sam and Max as memorable characters. Glados from Portal as well.

 

[Roguey]

Tim says he'd be interested in doing a tactical RPG. When are he and Sawyer going to team up?

 

[Grauken]

Time for him to retire instead

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Sic transit gloria mundi))

 

[Infinitron]

I talk about one of the first decisions you need to make when creating a new CRPG: what is more important, story telling or player agency?

 

[Yosharian]

How is this guy so insufferable

Most of us are, we just haven't uploaded on YouTube yet

Tim abhors storyfaggotry, which isn't surprising because I don't think he could write a compelling story if his life depended on it.

Shame more devs don't play to their strengths.

Leave it to Avellone.

I show all the things in my memorabilia cabinets.

imagine breaking into Tim's place and having to sift through all that garbage

Isn’t that Starfield? Someone should ask him if he’s played that game and what he would’ve done differently with it.

Yeah, I was thinking of Starfield as well, but would more than likely not be Tim's kind of game.

No need to imagine. We can just ask Roguey what it's like

That would be Josh Sawyer.

I talk about the pros and cons of fast travel in games...and why you probably need to include it in your game.

Teleport spell in Arcanum is a Godsend.
I think it even works when used by a Tech character, though I never mixed tech with magic due to cheese and roleplay.

 

[Late Bloomer]

Fast Travel is 100% decline. Limited, very limited mark and recall (gate) can be ok. Thats the limit though. Abundant Fast Travel and Horse Armour are two easily identifiable points of real serious decline.
