I've been following your studio since the first Greedfall, which I enjoyed immensely. Although I'm giving this game some more time to cook, I've bought it and am following it closely. I'm excited to see where you guys go next! ❤️

Pose those cats in a circle! 🎵

Making them innately evil is a quick and dirty way to create conflict, so it's a popular solution.

Games require way more filler than written fiction. This is when fodder becomes necessary. But enemy monsters who are only monstrous and non-sentient eventually become boring, and so it's fun to throw in species capable of using a bit of tactics...

It's so common for combat mechanics to be designed separately from roleplaying mechanics. If the game has lots of combat, you need lots of stuff to kill and to kill often, so thinking about whether it's ethical to kill them or not every time becomes monotonous...

I'm happy you're happy.

I assume this is because we use humans as a default, and other fantasy races are defined by their differences from humans. Humans but they live much longer and have pointed ears? Elves. Humans but they have green or grey skin and tusks? Orcs. Etcetera.

Even better - build your own fucking table.

With this thought, I was more interested in exploring how humanity invents languages (like math) to describe the universe in ways that make sense to us, but may not make sense outside of human perception. This "shower thought" is meant to be more philosophical than pragmatic.

Sure. I'm more talking about how, out of necessity, math is based around various axioms (aka assumptions). One such axiom is what "1" means. We all agree on it, and base higher mathematics around it, but "1" is not a concept that exists in the universe without human perception.

To me the "objective" reality is what exists without human perception. Even the simple concept of counting objects is subjective. You can count two objects, and they may still exist whether you were there or not, but to count them you still defined what an "object" was, and that's subjective.

That's #Fate the video game for those curious.
