Man, I'm very much guilty of that as well. I'm not quite following the "pacifist hard line" this time (if some criminal bastard shoots first, I'll have no scruples about going lethal), but I'm going non-lethal more than 95% of the time.

Been playing for a bit, and enjoying it so far, although still in the process of "getting used to stuff". I had forgotten about how much it has the feel of a "detective game". I also feel like I have been spending most of my time in "unproductive search for the right clue or the right air vent"...

First, just a small bit regarding one's cognitive approach and sense of scale: I believe that one's change of perception about the scale of a 20 years old video game is pretty normal, first because the scale of video games have been changing considerably over the past 20 years, second because...

Happy birthday! My, 98 years old!? You don't look your age!

Personally, I am not so nostalgic about the world map concepts like in FF I to 9. I mean, sure, there were great designs relative to the times they were made, but when I replay one of these games today (well, mostly FF VII, else I'm not much of a retro-gamer), it more gives me the impression of...

Good text, but personally I don't really agree on the merits of the Overworld that have been pointed out. Or maybe I just don't get how you make the distinction between "Overworld" and "big-ass open world". For instance, where would you classify XII? If "Overworld" only refers to the PS1-era...

Ok, update on that bus project. I modified a few things, it may not be so apparent at first glance. Mostly, I tweaked the distribution of the grass (which barely shows through the snow) and created more diversity among the trees.

Yes, that's the one. I understand that something like a puppet show may not be easy to get into. Besides, I've found the speed/frame rate of action scenes a bit disconcerting at first. I've been impressed by how the show was made (how the puppeteers manage to breathe life into the characters...

^Actually, for this season, one that I've been enjoying much is Thunderbolt Fantasy, the new weird project of Gen Urobuchi with the team of Taiwanese puppeteers. Not actually an anime but you can't really classify that with anything else. From your list, I've been following 91 days and Alderamin...

^ I personally preferred Fate Stay/Night which is chronologically later but was actually made earlier. Pretty good series. My personal favs for 2016 so far were Erased - Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, and Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, by quite a margin.

Still Fallout 4, survival mode. Gotta check what's going on in that Vault 88.

^Aye. Even encouraged Joe to watch it a few pages back on this thread. Also began to read the light novels (although only the 1st volume was released in English). It's an anime that's also great to re-watch for all the foreshadowing and Chekov's gun style of details :)

New update! Reworked the scale of the snow shader for getting the "glitter" effect, added some stuff in the background (actually in the original setting, the bus is in the backyard of an elementary school, which here is casting shadow over the scene), added some blades of withered grass and some...

Alright, finally getting an update on this project. I've spent some time working on the snow (the original scene takes place in snowy Hokkaido winter). The difficulty here is to create a displacement map (actually a lot of tedious work with Gimp) which actually "sculpt" the snow, so that I could...

Well, obviously gutted by the result after having had most of the chances, but you always need to be clinical and a small bit of luck to win the games with high stakes. It just wasn't going our way. Well done Portugal. It seemed pretty clear to me that they wanted to "stay alive" and just...

I appreciate your point about game design, but all in all, isn't this about role-playing games? I think there should be at least some incentive to use certain characters along a specific role in combat, which matches traits described in the story. I mean, FF XII had something pretty close to a...

Oh, I personally like the notion of respecting your opponent, and "always look at the bright side of life" in the face of defeat, I wish we had that in southern countries but culturally that's not going to happen (It's odd I'm saying "we in Southern countries" now that I'm half-Canadian :P...

^ The bit about booing the opposing team when they have possession: fair enough, it's bad cultural behavior. I say cultural because that's the way people behave in latin countries in general (in the broadest sense, from latin America to Portugal or even Romania), and the French have a bit of...
