It's my 3rd serious playthrough through Morrowind, and only now it hit me on how much it borrows from Dune :P

The metric should be the percentage of released indie games that made enough profit to allow the creators to fund the next title.

This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games.

A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress

But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

Derek says: "In theory, games are the perfect place to teach that failure is not only okay but a necessary stepping stone to success. But now it's so easy to switch to a game with guaranteed progress, so games with consequences for failure are more risky to make, creating a cycle."

Other person replies: "IMO the issue is that failure is usually discouraged. At best you just lose time, at worst you get extra punishment (loss of XP for example). Both just feel like you lost (limited) gametime for nothing. IMO also a reason why meta-progression is popular. Respect the player's time"

Derek replies: "Hmmm... the thing is, my time feels more disrespected when I realize my actions don't really matter? Like, if no matter what I do, I make progress, that feels like more of a waste of my time, personally."

Some of you know of my quest to complete the Elder Scrolls back to back... I just finished Daggerfall!
A short break and I will head to Morrowind next!
(to those curious - I went with the Underking...)

Jupiter Hell Classic is a 'demake of a remake of a roguelike unmake' now on Steam

A demake of a remake of a roguelike unmake. It's okay to be confused, but Jupiter Hell Classic is a cool roguelike now in Early Access on Steam.

This is *the* modern roguelike (actual roguelike) with a lot of really cool design happening: my fave crafting of any game (tied with Teleglitch), nice/easy UI (this is insanely rare in this genre), a chain of secrets threaded through the game, etc.. definitely check this one out!
