ELUNE CONVO FIX IT part 1

i did it i finished!! finished enough anyway

How about instead of Tyrande getting possessed by Elune, we actually got to see them have a conversation about why tf she won't let her kill sylvanas!!! And get some real payoff for all the "hmm something's off about Elune"!! And more!!

Warning this one is long and boring. part 2 is way better lol

sry she should more serious here but w/e we're just going with 'angy' lol

i think i drew these same poses in the sylvanas one lol oop sry my brain library is not vast

ok one thing i added at the last second was elune is like pulling from tyrande's personal elune power to get her real form back to properly tell winter queen to fuck off. and that's why tyrande looks like she has spider webs on her it's just glowy elune magic

and then winter queen does go fuck off bc i didn't want to draw her anymore

End of part 1!! Also when tyrande is watching elune and WQ yell at each other I imagine it like a kid watching their mom get in a fight at the grocery store or smt lol

#if you haven't seen my elune design #its literally just tyto the swift / journey #and the god power logic she uses is just discworld god logic #and a little bit summer fairy vs. winter fairy vibes from dresden files #part 2 coming sometime!! also really got not-that-far from done like 2 years ago just have a couple panels to fill #anyway dude this in game moment was so crazy #it was literally just like watching those rage bait videos where people dump fresh good food ingredients on their disgusting dusty #ass kitchen island and make like cheeto dust spaghetti nachos instead of making something edible #elisa gabrielli spitting absolutely gut wrenching #warcraft #elune #tyrande

It's funny to me how The Sims 2 still showed up in the top 100 video games tags for 2023 Tumblr Year In Review. Against all odds, we're still relevant. Cockroach ass game.

#ts2 #the sims 2 #show us a broken 20 year old game we'll show you countless fixes and hours of dedicated gameplay and video essays #along with several hard drives worth of cc #i ran out of storage on my pc recently. my solution - deleting unnecessary files like the solid 5g i have of cc? #nah. by a new expandable hard drive. clearly. #personal grumblings

Scarlet Hollow decision tree

People occasionally ask to see a decision tree for Scarlet Hollow, so a while back I put one together for episodes 1-4! It’s not comprehensive, as most scenes at this point have at least some variation due to any number of tracked variables, but it accounts for most of the really major deviations.

For those who don’t want spoilers but would like to hear about how we kinda structure the game: I like to talk about it as more of a braid than a tree, which is not a new concept or anything, but I feel like it helps other narrative designers understand how to limit the absolute vastness that you can get with branching structures. The narrative branches off at decision nodes, but instead of continuing down significantly different routes, it comes back together at key moments. So there’s a single narrative throughline to the game-- events unfold in the town and you witness them in some capacity, but your perspective on them, who you’re with, the options available to you, all these are impacted by other choices you’ve made along the way, including the character traits you chose at the start of the game.

It’s not necessarily easier than doing routes, since it means Tony and I have to keep track of a ridiculous number of little variations including one-off dialogue choices players have made AND steering players to the important narrative moments can be tricky, but I think it makes for an interesting player experience! People get so excited when, say, a line at the end of Episode 4 calls back to something they said when they first met Tabitha at the beginning of Episode 1.

ANYWAY, HUGE SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT, do not proceed if you don’t want to know about basically everything that’s currently in the game!

Things start to get a little hard to read from here on out....

Episode four had to be broken into four images and looks like spaghetti

I’ll make another one of these for Episode 5 after it comes out sometime next year! (I know that’s a bit of a wait but it’ll be worth it >:D)

#scarlet hollow #spoilers #visual novel decision tree #narrative structure #video game narrative #we don't use trees like this while we're in development #we tend to just remember all this stuff #or reference the game files if we need calrification! #i made this as a resource for people who don't necessarily read the discord religiously #and wanna know how to get certain outcomes #and to see if a map could be drawn without being too impossible to read #getting there with the episode four stuff.......

I love that between dick and jason, dick's generally considered more clingy and as the one who bothers Jason to hang out, when Jason canonically followed dick to an entirely different city, stole his identity and framed him for multiple murders for seemingly no other reason than feeling the little brother urge to fuck with his big brothers shit

#that issue is the most younger brother coded I've ever seen jason and it's so funny #like it's truly the vigilante equivelant of borrowing your older siblings video game without permission and overwriting their save file #batman series #dc #jason todd #dick grayson #talking

biggest disconnect in pathologic's reception has kind of always been a divide between "patho is driven by mechanics" and "patho is driven by story" camps where opinions only ever come from one of these extremes... around p1's development and release the developers considered it exclusively a survival challenge sim, not a game marketed for its story (despite story representing a huge fraction of the time and thought put into it). In The Society Of Dead Poets goes into so much detail about this. and it WAS a stunning technical work under the circumstances, but the complex story was what gave the franchise cult appeal, or at least enough so for it to get a sequel... reviews from the period tend to go along the lines of "this game looks and plays like shit but it's extremely thought-provoking". there's a little to be said about the mainstream view of a "Gamer" in 2005 and what they would be interested in marketing-wise not tracking with story games yet; anyway, the one-dimensionality here was consistent with the studio's approach to games as a whole (cf BoneHouse.ppt).

so IPL's perception of their work was what informed p2's priorities, which turned out to be A Way Better Survival Challenge at the expense of things like characters having complex motivations (expansion on this has been omitted; iykyk), and they did an incredible job with that & basically perfected what they had been going for mechanically. which created this weird divide where p2 fans think 1 isn't worth playing because it's less engaging as a gaming experience, and p1 fans (me included, to be clear) see 2's story changes as a spit in the face of everything that made the series work. like, neither of these are fundamentally incorrect, but they refer to completely non-overlapping paradigms of engaging with the material. when hopefully it can be agreed that a Video Game is comprised of Both a narrative aspect and an interactive aspect, and that they need to work together to create the player's transformative experience (again, premise of BoneHouse.ppt).

Anyway. that helps explain a lot of hbomb's stance on the franchise, particularly that he can endorse patho2 without comment as an ostensibly leftist youtuber when even the most cursory playthrough is enough to let players in on its gleeful centering of ecofascism... that game's representation of colonial relations as an unfixable divide employing the racist trope of reciprocal violence, its obsession with maintaining status quo, and its completely tasteless approach to MMIW are all elements of Story and thus all secondary to p2's huge improvements on the survival system. in the same vein, his discussion of p1's changeling's route is limited to the constant reputation decrease and the repeated quests because those are the only mechanical features introduced over the previous routes, even while clararoute text is fundamental to understanding most characters... his video isn't like Bad for getting the interactive experience p1 would present to you, but it sucks for engaging with the story because it's not about the story. and unfortunately, on discussion posting websites, we do usually post about story

#pathologic #I'm so tired. #FAQ: BoneHouse was a presentation given by an IPL writer who will go unnamed here regarding his philosophy to gamedev. ItSODP was a lengthy #interview with the same (there's an EN translation on archive.org; BoneHouse is on the Files section of the archived IPL webpage). #genuinely I do really enjoy p2 as a survival sim and I think the most interesting things done with it (challenge runs) arise purely from #engaging with that half of the gameplay. but there is nothing to talk about w/o the plot it presents to you and that's why hbomb's video #falls so flat to me in applying that same approach to 1; a game fundamentally not balanced in a way that that's a fair take
