  • This response is sort of the issue I keep running into. I’ve already gotten this talk, learned from it, and moved forward. I now have nearly two notebooks detailing every mechanic, mock ups of ui design, animation ideas, sprites, complex dice roll mechanics to engage with tables for content generation, and even a roadmap for the first 15 major updates to assess timeline based on the time it takes to convert to a digital format. I’m not even looking to offload the work, database entries are like 90% of this.

    I’m here asking because I don’t know how to do the next part where I find the other 20% of making this happen.






  • You could make a pretty good surrealist novel out of this. Have the detective/dreamer switching back and forth, in the noir world you’re solving a case that turns out to be a cold case in the waking world and this leads the dreamer to solving the case for real. All the while the noir partner seems to be keenly aware that he’s a dream, but does what he can to keep the detective focused so the dream doesn’t dissolve. Finally it culminates with the all the clues found and the partner breaks the veil so the dreamer wakes up with the information and realizes the murderer was someone in his own life or something.

    Keep it real subtle maybe, like it’s two completely different stories jumping back and fourth, but it slowly meshes together as it gets closer to the end. Characters introduced in one side play play roles in the other but are only introduced once. “Dan Smith, a heavy set guy from accounting jokes in the break room” "as you walk into the most recent scene you overhear officer Smith quip, 'it’s nights like this that make me wish I’d become an accountant. ’ causing the detective to double take before the partner draws him back in.

    Fuck I’d read it.



  • I don’t get it, can’t black just move the king?

    Edit:

    OK, so I looked it up, en passant means that if a pawn has just moved 2 spaces and landed next to an enemy pawn, the enemy pawn can move to take the first pawn by moving behind it instead of into the current occupied square. That’s news to me and I can’t believe this isn’t used more often.

    That and I mixed up the king and queen because my set had the butt crown on the queen.
