Hot take: Monster Hunter shouldn't be about the fights. Monsters shouldn't feel like video game bosses, and they shouldn't prioritize fun, frenetic combat over grounded and believable ecology. That's the difference between a fantasy hunting game and a generic action game.

my hot take about souls in general is that the games could use less checkpoints i think demon's souls approach to checkpoints is still the best in the series by far

As an introvert, it took me so long to realize that the point of having a conversation isn't solely to exchange information. The point is the conversation itself.

@woofpapi @Cosmic_El African video games, movies, comics, and more could help with that massively too! It's some of my long-term goals as a game dev

@Cosmic_El The african gallery would change the course of thinking.

Never let them lie to you about our ancestors. They were advanced …

@0xbisc I am beyond enamored with this style. Is there a name for it?

@WISKIMMUSIC So much content people could make into video games if anyone had the interest! Someday, I'll give it a go

@3MegistusHermes @WISKIMMUSIC These bad boys are Monster Hunter sized weapons.

@WISKIMMUSIC Thank you, I don't often see how big these actually are.

In fact, looters similar to Nioh and Borderlands should play around with it

Weapon durability is awesome. I enjoy being encouraged to try different weapons, especially when weapons widely differ in moveset and gameplay. The only Zelda BOTW was missing was more weapon diversity. Come at me #TerribleTakeTuesday #Gaming

In fact, I think more looters should introduce durability. Games similar to Nioh or Borderlands

@CallMeJokka Yes, they do a great job. Also, I think we need more content creators; the number of games released every day is simply too much.

Game devs and content creators help each other grow. I think creators help us more than we help them... but they might disagree. Is the relationship balanced? #indiedev #gamedev

@_DeceptiveGames Fair, but I'm not asking for a AAA title or anything. If that Zeldalike mouse game can have a good amount of enemy variety, I think something like this can too. And in fact, I'm actually extremely curious to see what a 2d monster hunter game would look like

@MagusCurt Monster AI plus animation is a huge mountain, but it would be brilliant to see more indies try it 😄

I see a lot of Zeldalikes, Soulslikes, and Pokemonlikes in indie game spaces, but never Monster Hunterlikes. What's up with that? -_- Is anyone working on one? #indiedev #gamedev
