The devs made something awesome, but then started shitting all over it and that pissed me off and made me sad.
Gender stuff is the only one that bothers me, way too frequent. Guns makes sense (we're Columbo, not a bounty hunter). Other than that, what has been shit upon?

But you will give them $5 to do it?
Probably not, but I'm counting the possibility of me being bored and making a bad purchase late at night.

And I consider the amount of harm $5 can do to be less than $20. 4 times less. Math.

But yeah, I probably won't buy it regardless. Still don't have QUD. Still never bought Dwarf Fortress because the author wants to do the same thing.

Yeah - he needs to review more old games so they can suddenly pop in the Steam Bestseller list out of the blue like it happened with Wizardy 8

From the Patreon:

Filler video shitpost, proper vid scheduled for 21st September
Really sorry about delays, just had issues come up simultaneously

Additionally I don't know if Patreon sent out notices but they're planning to phase out 'per creation' subscriptions. If we have to bill people monthly, I'll try upload more frequently with a credit roll each time.

new stuff soon,
sincerely,
Sseth

Actual video this Saturday.

I have no idea what is happening in these games
The Japanese made an arcade shooter where you fight a shitload of alien insects of increasing size before the game goes full JRPG and you start shooting God, it was given an absolute meme of a translation, and they kept making the same game over and over again to much acclaim.

Aren't you supposed to delete all that insect crap ASAP before your performance tanks to single digit or game crash?

I like the plot summary

Step 1. Repel the alien invasion
Step 2. ????
Step 3. Kill God
Japs have surprisingly lot of games where you kill gods.
Apparently it has something do with them being rebelious towards older generations, social order etc. and just power creep from fighting rulers, governments etc., after all you can't abolish higher rule than God's rule. It seems that fedora tipping in this case is really just an afterthought.

There's making your next game in the same engine.
Then there's making your next game mostly an asset reuse.
Then there's the Yakuza games.
Then there's Bethesda games that have engines so similar to one another modders have used the knowledge gained from over 15 years of modding to immediately start modding your new game.
And then there's Earth Defense Force, where a single 9MB mod file allows you to play the previous game's missions in the new game.

Magnificent.
