Pentiment - Josh Sawyer's historical mystery narrative-driven game set in 16th century Bavaria

meanwhile chad Swen pulls his massive dong out and flops it right on the table by putting one of the most anticipated games of all time in early access during development

This is a really pathetic response to a leak. Sure, it may be inaccurate, but even so it ought to give a glympse into what kind of game they're making. Unless they do a complete re-do at some stage (which happened to WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos, for example). But I doubt something like this would happen. If anything this makes me think the leak must be pretty substantial for Josh to do this sort of damage control, otherwise it would be probably ignored altogether by the developers.

With the amount of effort they put into their fonts they could probably have made an actual RPG.

Imagine spending this much effort on the quality of the look of the words, but not the quality of the words themselves.

The most ornate, gilded, filigreed toilet. It's still a bowl for shit.

Imagine spending this much effort on the quality of the look of the words, but not the quality of the words themselves.

Basically like all games: graphics over substance. It's easier.

But really it's different people doing this, annd good graphics enhance gameplay. So frankly, this is nothing to complain about.

Can you ask him if it comes in braille?

Pentiment will have an appendix, which might provide an answer to the following question: Does Josh Sawyer understand what he reads?

Avellone: I read an entire library on the topic before writing a single letter!


Sawyer: reading... bad!

 

[KVVRR]

Digesting pop culture media isn't at all the same as learning a new language or even reading centuries-old manuscripts from the time. Still impressive though there are mountains of star wars shit out there

[Maxie]

the entire game hinges on Sawyer's obsession with his triple hyphenated German---Americanness as he simply cannot accept being some Great Lakes hick

 

[Alienman]

Wonder how he feels about the nordstream thing.

What's the point of going through all that when it would have been obvious just by using the period correct english?

HIt befel in the dayes of Vther pendragon when
he was kynge of all Englond / and so regned
that there was a myȝty duke in Cornewaill
that helde warre ageynst hym long tyme / And
the duke was called the duke of Tyntagil / and
so by meanes kynge Vther send for this duk / chargyng hym
to brynge his wyf with hym / for she was called a fair lady /
and a passynge wyse / and her name was called Igrayne /
So whan the duke and his wyf were comyn vnto the kynge
by the meanes of grete lordes they were accorded bothe / the
kynge lyked and loued this lady wel / and he made them grete
chere out of mesure / and desyred to haue lyen by her / But she
was a passyng good woman / and wold not assente vnto the
kynge / And thenne she told the duke her husband and said
I suppose that we were sente for that I shold be dishonoured
Wherfor husband I counceille yow that we departe from hens
sodenly that we maye ryde all nyghte vnto oure owne castell /
and in lyke wyse as she saide so they departed / that neyther
the kynge nor none of his counceill were ware of their
departyng Also soone as kyng Vther knewe of theire departyng soo
sodenly / he was wonderly wrothe / Thenne he called to hym his
pryuy counceille / and told them of the sodeyne departyng of
the duke and his wyf /

That's on the low end for the average Californian lib

This is indirectly promoting dissemination of misinformation. When will they be cancelled?

 

[Infinitron]

The research phase of Pentiment starch back to 2019, does we have any information when it's pre production began?

I was sure you knew of this tweet:



The concept of Pentiment is at least this old.
