If you're in the indie gamedev space, check out my #pixelart asset pack on itch for free RPG icons. Let me know if you use them in your game :D

@scoutfrost67231 I couldn't tell what the game would be about from this, but I'd wanna play it.

Feba is getting her own Pokémon TCG cards too!

@Samuelorana @SynthPotato Begging on my knees for this to be ragebait. Why would anyone aproach entertainment like this.

@SynthPotato Dude gaming is a fckn waste of time nobody has 12 hours to put into 1 game Ill just finish new releases quicker than anyone by experiencing the story, whats the point on taking 12 hours to find out the story if i could just do it in an hour for free?

Seeing a lot of discussion about this, Gaming is an interactive medium. When you remove the interaction part, you are missing out on a critical part of the experience. It's OK to enjoy stories by watching vids but I really think you need to play to appreciate games fully imo.

@jackcrawford__ >Ill just finish new releases quicker than anyone ...Yeah because what I want from my entertainment the most is for it to end faster. That's what we want right, for the fun to be over sooner. I did not know it was possible to have fun wrong, but they found a way.

@GalacticAhab @gigabibich @browndwarf6 ...the bed of chaos comment stirred up some unpleasant memories huh. You don't want to play them, then don't, but there are ways in which games being open world can be uniquely to their benefit, just cause we're in a period of slop where they don't, doesn't make that wrong.

@lovelytoaster @gigabibich @browndwarf6 THAT'S MY ARGUMENT!!! DARK SOULS ISN'T OPEN WORLD. YOU CAN HAVE LEVEL ROUTING OPTIONS WITHOUT FUCKING MAKING BIG ASS OPEN WORLDS FULL OF REDUNDANT SHIT LIKE ELDEN RING! JUST LOOK AT METROIDVANIAS!!! FUCK!

I hate the idea that open world needs to be filled to the brim with content to be any good, like any emptiness is already a flaw

@GalacticAhab @gigabibich @browndwarf6 bud, I get the runback to bed of chaos instills in you an aversion to long distances but this is a dumb ass argument. The master key letting you access different areas doesn't make it elden ring, nor should every game be souls.

@lovelytoaster @gigabibich @browndwarf6 Yeah, it sucks there's no other ways to reach blighttown other than fighting the gaping dragon.

@GalacticAhab @gigabibich @browndwarf6 it's a quest resolution(and far from the main one) available because the world is structured like an actual world instead of a zone. You're not doing this in dark souls, as open as it is, you're not parkouring past iron golem to get to anor londo, that just ain't happening.

@lovelytoaster @gigabibich @browndwarf6 Wow I wasn't aware DS1 lacked branching paths. Only open worlds can do that.

@GalacticAhab @gigabibich @browndwarf6 I gave the same example before, Gothic 2 has a quest where one of the resolutions is to go around city walls, jump into the sea, and come in through the port, skipping . This is only an option because it's an open world, you don't get the same effect if everything's in one area

@lovelytoaster @gigabibich @browndwarf6 You can do that without making a bunch of worthless empty space.

@GalacticAhab @gigabibich @browndwarf6 There are games where exploring the open world gives you extra options for resolving the quest. Witcher 3 does this, Gothic 2 did this, Morrowing(to a tiny degree, mostly you could pull rank) did this etc.

@lovelytoaster @gigabibich @browndwarf6 That's not open world. That's branching quests. Dark Souls 1 and 3 had quests with differing resolutions based on choice, are they open world?

@GalacticAhab @gigabibich @browndwarf6 if different endings to quests is still considered linear to you then idk what you consider nonlinear

@lovelytoaster @gigabibich @browndwarf6 Open worlds are linear if you experience the content fully, it's just sequencing differences.

@browndwarf6 Ye ye, I get you, but they still have to actually fill in space with cool environments and whatnot, since there are games(especially in the indie sphere) that will just have actually empty(or copy pasted) space out of desire for a big world, which misses the point.

@lovelytoaster I exaggerated for dramatic effect but I do think open world can be good without "stuff" in it and by stuff I mean things like side quests enemies etc. stuff that is usually considered content in games

@gigabibich @browndwarf6 You're having trouble grasping a two panel picture that demonstrates the critique in quesiton and it's my fault how?

@lovelytoaster @browndwarf6 Gaming Twitter has some fucking bottom level discussions. Man I can't you all are fucking retarded every single other post is braindead

@gigabibich @browndwarf6 Picturebooks are kindergarden grade learning I think you can manage.

@lovelytoaster @browndwarf6 Context is vague picture without any description

@browndwarf6 OK, I wouldn't go that far lol, there's a difference between 'the world is vast so it feels empty between activities', and 'the world is empty because there's no stuff in it'

my hot take is if you want to create a game somewhat focused on open world then the emptier the better, you should enjoy the world itself not just the side activities scattered across it
