Peter sobbing and apologizing over Harry’s dying body while he can do nothing more to help, just like May

Screaming in agony as someone else he loves is ripped away from him by something he has shouldered the responsibility of stopping

Wondering if he spent more time trying to help them and less time helping everyone else, he might have been able to do more

Knowing this might be the last chance he ever gets to talk to Harry, that this might be good-bye

“I love you”

I've been playing a loooooot of stardew valley. My faves are Leah and Elliot (they have the best rooms to add to your house!)

This might eventually be on my etsy store, if you want to keep an eye out:

So I've been playing a lot of No Man's Sky and I just discovered my new favorite creature. It's like fairy ogre. They hover around just over the ground with those tiny fast-beating wings. They predict the future. THEY DON'T HAVE BONES???

I named it a Flutterhulk.

#no man's sky #video james #this planet is disappointing in general #I was looking for paraffinium and living pearls and this place has NEITHER and is also frequently on fire #but the flutterhulks made up for it #look at that dork #anyway if you want to use those coordinates to portal to me #I do have a base on a different planet in that system #its not a good base - I’m still struggling to figure out how to make my gas harvester work #but it’s where I get my activated copper #…man I wish there was a way to communicate in this game other than message orbs or being online at the same time #can I craft a mailbox. please.

I picked up Dragon Quest Builders 2 again, after… more than a year?? Yikes! Honestly I enjoy this game so much, it’s very chill and easy to lose yourself in, the characters and humor are really enjoyable (this is the first and only DQ game I’ve played; I can believe that’s how they all are, I just don’t have any experience w/ the franchise other than what I learn from Vi ^_^). The ONLY reason I stopped playing in the first place was because I knew it was something I could and would sink a TON of time into, and I really couldn’t afford to commit to that last summer. And then Digimon Survive happened, and it turns out I need looong breaks between 60+ hour JRPG-type games (which, alas, seem to be the only types of games I play these days!) XD

But I’m glad to be back into it! I’m glad I finally have the time and energy to dedicate to it! I’m through Furrowfield with a much-improved farm (compared to my playthrough of the demo), and I’m excited to experience more of the story, explore new islands, and build some fun things. Woohoo!!

truly so beautiful to play 999 and become familiar with such iconic characters as "of course you have white hair and trauma" and "do you think snake is a gay?"

#ray speaks #video james #literally constantly thinking abt those 2 posts while i play this game #the gay snake poll in particular was such a moment in history

Hello tumblr hooligans, I am Video James, a totally licensed time traveller, I promise. Today I explored the PA Renaissance Faire for timeline contraband

I confiscated a tiny hat, and a small frog affixed itself to my vent.

Also met a moth man, a local, and some sort of virus.

All in all, a very successful day!

I just need to find an artist friend who will make art for my Paleolithic dating sim and then it's over for you bitches.

#video james #tbh my greatest desire is a neolithic farming sim #in which THE PLAYER CHARACTER IS DISCOVERING HOW TO FARM FROM BASIC PRINCIPLES #but that's a lot harder to code #I could at least start with writing a dating sim #with sexy Neanderthals

on player agency and cutscenes

cross posting from cohost because i have the flu and no impulse control. if this doesnt make sense thats ok this isnt my professional platform. also i’d put a line divider here but its been too many years since ive posted on tumblr and i forgot how.

---

i was talking to a friend about the new god of war game and about Observation and i came to the conclusion that i really, really hate cutscenes. i understand they're expected of high budget games as we try to create Cinematic Experiences but i feel from a narrative design perspective they are the weakest link in storytelling via games

story is best delivered to the player when they have to experience it. the player character killing someone in a cutscene won't have the same impact as the game system requiring the player to actively press the knife in and embody the action. even if the player doesnt have "agency" or choices regarding the actions that take, the fact that the player can only progress by doing something against their will is like...the secret sauce of narrative design. one of many in the pantry, i mean. whatever this metaphor is getting away from me

this forced-action design is pretty evident in my work, both personal and professional. i enjoy making players do things they dont want to do. i enjoy taking choices away, especially in fraught situations. but i dont want to make the player leave while i tell the story. the player might be the hand holding the knife but as narrative designer i'm the one that guides the knife. taking the reins away from the player isnt what i want to do-- i want to possess the player the way they possess my characters

cutscenes transform the player's role from embodying their character + occupying a narrative role to voyeurs, watching from the outside looking in. that isn't to say cutscenes are bad or ineffective! but if the key narrative beats revolve around the player's character, removing the player's presence from the story only serves as an eject button. its no wonder so many people skip cutscenes-- maybe they're missing the story, but they're also refusing to be removed from the game.

anyway if you've ever played one of my games and been like "why does jenna make me keep taking apart bodies" its because im a sicko
