Hello :) Today's #gamedev post is really more of a question than sharing. What do you think needs to be done to improve Vulkan? And what do you think needs to be done to make Linux easier for gaming? If anyone is willing to answer these I would appreciate it

1. Hello :) For today's #gamedev post, I wanted to share my conversations with others on Call of Duty #BlackOps7 . The reason I avoid COD is because it has been a copy and paste game. They haven't done anything radically different to make it fun or interesting. People try to tell me they added

1. Hello :) My last #gamedev post for the day. In a post from a long time ago, I attempted to have a conversation about what is the best equipment system for #videogames . The weight system of World War 3, the Platemail of War of the Roses and a few other examples were brought up. I was reminded

1. Hello :) Two more #gamedev posts. Starting with Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2. In a past post I mentioned how it was a mistake to lock 2 of the clans/classes behind a 30 USD paywall. I am realizing now it may not be the only mistake and it is something other #videogames can learn from

1. Hello :) Ok now for the 2nd #gamedev post of the day. This time on #VampireTheMasquerade / #WorldofDarkness . There are a lot of angry videos like this one here youtu.be/awvx296jvZM?... about the $30 DLC. What they are referring to is 2 of the classes/clans are locked behind the $90 edition

1. Hello :) Two #gamedev posts today. First one is a quick mention. One of the games revealed at Gamescom has an interesting story to it. This one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIg5... . Part of what makes this one interesting is because I was reading that they learned from HEMA. This is believable

1. Hello :) In a past #gamdev post, I mentioned that I am annoyed with #videogames that put the player in a position where you have to expend a lot of skill points, and close to half of your passive tree is crafting. I decided to revisit this and make a larger list this time

1. Hello :) For today's #gamedev post, I wanted to expand on a topic I brought up in the past.. About how RPG's fail to properly capture specific duties like First Responders, Military, etc. I wanted to include Q&A and Game Devs this time. Ok so I think it is a mistake that #videogames moved away

1. Hello :) One more #gamedev post before I return to my rest. I am not opposed to what some call "hard core" games. If anything I think they keep the attention the longest when compared to "basic games". To show what I am talking about, I am going to go through a list of what I deem successful

1. Hello Blue Sky! :) It has been some time. I had to take care of my health and went offline to do so. I am for now well enough to do a #gamedev post. For today's example I will use Starfield. Starfield failed for a lot of reasons. I would say the big ones was an old engine and lack of planning

@revolt.chat Hello :) I heard about your development a long time ago and have tried to keep up. I see you have came a long way. Will you be working with Streamers and or Content Creators in the future? (As the next step)

1. Hello :) For today's #gamedev thread, I wanted to share my thoughts on the economy in #videogames . Recently, I almost completed Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon. I had to put the game on pause until they fix their bugs but I did notice another flaw other than that. And it was the economy

1. Hello :) For today's #gamedev post I want to share my thoughts on survival/hardcore. Some #videogames label themselves as such or are on the line. Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon I would say is a good example of it being on the line. It is in a lot of ways harder than Skyrim on combat alone

Hello :) Short #gamedev post today. I am aware that some futuristic RPG's like what Deus Ex is, features digital guns. This is relatively accurate as that exists today. Here is an older short clip on Youtube to show this www.youtube.com/shorts/Aqjkz...

1. Hello :) I was just reading an article by @vanityfair.com . It was regarding Scarlett Johansson's concern about #AI . I wanted to quickly respond to this as a PC and #technology expert. The unfortunate reality is that a good portion of the Tech and #software companies out there lack ethics

1. Hello :) For today's #gamedev thread, I wanted it to be a bit personal. It will involve two parts. First.. Like I said in previous threads, I think it is possible to blend some realism with fantasy games. It is fair to say my desire to see that happen is because I know that #videogames are both

1. Hello :) After a lot of thought, I determined how I would handle the Shield and Chameleon spells. Some of this can be applied to really any game so here goes another #gamedev post. In any #videogames , I dislike straight healers or straight casters because it is a copy and paste and very boring

1. Hello :) After using #elderscrolls as an example for the recent #gamedev thread, I decided to do a full on thread and compilation of my thoughts regarding ES 6. To understand that, here is a map of where ES games have been (credit to Shotglassanhero of Reddit). Apprently ES 6 will return to

1. Hello :) One more #gamedev post about Difficulty sliders in RPG #videogames . I didn't think of this until a recent conversation but.. I think there is a better way to handle it. Once again I will be using Elder Scrolls but also Dark Age of Camelot.. A legendary MMO that proved some realism can

1. Hello :) For today's #gamedev I wanted to talk about Stealth/Combat in #videogames . A lot of games have dagger mechanics associated with Stealth. Some do it well, others don't. Some of the time the fault is not with the game dev itself as certain things like UE 5 are problematic with certain

1. Hello :) For today's #gamedev post, I wanted to talk about alchemy in #videogames . One again using #elderscrolls as the example because it is what most people are familiar with. In Oblivion, Restoration does far more for you than Alchemy does. In Skyrim, the potions you buy heal for more than

1. Hello :) I realized in a past #gamedev post, that I may of made things confusing. I want to clear that up while also adding some additional thoughts on #elderscrolls (and well #videogames in general). When I say Breastplate, I am referring to something like this.. Plate above the waist (wikipedia

1. Hello :) For today's #gamedev thread, I wanted to talk about crafting in #videogames . I personally don't like it when its tied to a specific attribute or perk. If the attribute or perk gives you other things ok maybe. Example in Cyberpunk 2077, your Technical was more than crafting, it was
May 2, 2025 at 8:28 PM
1. Hello :) For today's thread I wanted to mention something that surprisingly, some #gamedev s aren't aware of.. Min Maxers and Theory Crafters. Min Maxers are people who find the most efficient path for speed runs or completing the game at the highest possible difficulty. Theory Crafters are the

1. Hello :) Now that I got that out of my system.. A quick #gamedev thread. I am all for fantasy settings and using imagination however.. I think there is an opportunity even in a fantasy settings to use real life data as a baseline or model. I will give two examples.. One modern, one futuristic
