I assume skirmish has a small scale (10 or less per side) and room for narrative both within the scenario (more than just kill opponent or goal position) and between scenarios. Or at least that’s where most of the genre sits after the big guys (frostgrave, Shadowdeep, 5 leagues, etc.).

Marc Brunet (@YTartschool on YouTube) offers a fully structured online curriculum for learning character drawing. He’s fantastic, tons of free videos, but if you want proper structure his actual courses are top tier.

There’s a quality setting for how it saves the photo in settings, not sure if that’s the problem, but you can have it save them in higher quality than your screen shows.

This game was so damn fun with 3 friends on GBAs, and not very fun any other way.

So if you add things to the text in layout, things can overflow, and not fit right anymore. Page breaks can shift to weird spots, etc.
it’s like working on your engine while driving down the road.

The actual text itself is just words in a document, like a regular MS word file. To get a book to print, that text needs to be laid out in publishing software. (How many words are on each page, where illustrations are in relation to the words, page numbers, front matter, etc).

The astronomical amount Larian was absolutely battling with those mechanics to make them fun was off the charts, lmao.

It really hides its depth, which I think is its biggest design weakness. It takes a long time to start to see how it’s all one big puzzle. And that investment ask might be too much for some people to consider fun.

I’ve literally installed multiple browsers to have a zillion tabs open in each, but each browser has a different purpose/project. Yes, this is a problem.

My fav definition of metroidvania will always be Jeremy parish’s “oddly shaped key” where something blocks your path, and another something opens it, could be new movement, new attack, eaten by serpent, anything the game gives you as the specific “oddly shaped key” to provide you new areas.

There’s a process where people have been slowly recognizing APs as entertainment first, but the RPG subreddit has been a showcase of misunderstanding for the past 6 years as people expected APs from their home GMs, or learned from APs first and found a different experience at the flgs tables.

I think one part of it is the labeling. Actual Plays, even in their name, pretend to be “just the same” as the home game, but recorded. And that’s very far from the truth in media content. Play as therapy and it’s related fields don’t pretend to be the thing, they upfront use the thing for a task.

I’ve been saying this for years. After clip studio showing me what selection tools should be, it’s a battle every time just to flat in procreate. Give us decent expand tools ffs.

The experience of piecing it all together is exactly why I play fromsoft games. Combat is fun and all, but I’m here to map out those stories.

What if my answer is X2, because I haven’t seen another costume-based, turn based combat system of that tier since.

Maybe folks would finally understand that Frigid Outskirts was meant to be done co-op and not solo, and that it’s actually pretty fun that way.

A game like 1st ed Shadowrun and a game like Let These Mermaids Touch Your Dick Maybe have completely different focuses, if they didn’t Shadowrun wouldn’t have THOSE rules for grenade calculations, and Mermaids would have more than 1 resolution type. Both story, both rules. Different focuses.
