yeah, it also shows the devs are passionate but its the company stifling them... this is why i refuse to go the easy route and look for investors or go through a publisher.

yea, i get why they don't want to leak it if they plan on adding it later, but they could always add like a PDF book or a physical one of the game design process of the game.

yea, if i make a game thats a horror mystery esque, id probably have too much fun keeping people guessing.
could even add a twist at the end where the killer was "you" the entire time.
example a switch you flipped opened a door, but also dropped a piano on someone somewhere else.

depending on the murderers personality they may avoid making remarks like this, trying to blend in as much as possible while taking everyone out
they may even be an entity unknown to you hiding in the shadows.
sorry dev brain is hard to turn off.

a project like this would be quite massive even if it was single player.
noted.
Design ideas to make it work as single player.

Design ideas to make it work as multiplayer
realized.
fun factor - online play might be required to fully realize the game
Sandbox environs might be needed.

i think ill go with an RPG genre
but ill pull a few mechanics from my dream game to make it stand out in the field.
after all i've literally played thousands of them, so if it's not fun ill at least be able to understand why

yea, with each revision my genre changes and the game becomes a bigger project, i just don't know what genre i want and i think that's the biggest issue

im working on one but i don't have a set genre or sub genre in mind yet.
each iteration only seems to be making me mad, the first one wasn't fun, the second one approaches ethics because it requires server infrastructure.
so i think a version 3 overhaul with another layout is imminent

music composer for minecraft that made the vibe for the whole game got let go.
they havent found a musician able to hold a candle to him since.
these companies don't know what their losing until it's gone.
the talented should be rewarded, not fired.

yes, even the wise wizard of the industry has been lamenting on these issues.
- Passion gone
- Scared to innovate (probably because they'll be canned)
the list goes on.
