Videochat April 2021

[Ross Scott]

April 2021 videochat with fans.  Apologies for the huge delays on videos, should break the streak soon!  Relatively normal chat, made me aware I apparently should document all the videogame worlds I've seen better.  Also, help Curtis from Phantasmagoria 2 get seen!  More info in the Youtube description.

I’m not a GoT fan, but I’m pretty sure it’s called The Martin’s Principle: “the more likeable the character is, the more they should suffer”.

You didn't see the new BHunter Game Dungeon yet?

It isn't quite what he was looking for, but when Ross was talking about a game with a similar feel and scope to exploration in Minecraft but the world was more hand-crafted, it made me think of Miasmata. I guess it was the "hard to map out" part which made me think of it, because mapping out the island you're on and using landmarks to triangulate your position is a legit mechanic in the game. But while it seems like a big island, it's probably not Minecraft big.

 

Still, Miasmata might be unique enough to make an interesting game dungeon. You're basically alone on a deserted island with a monster out to kill you, and you have to find a cure for the disease slowly killing you, and you have to make sure you keep your health up to live to find the cure as well.
