Time for a better introduction!

Passionate about game design, programmer by trade.
I love reading books (paper only) and enjoy a variety of card games ( #fabtcg being my main one).
Working with my team @abyssalmice.com as a designer on a new #indiegame, hopefully this one becomes more than a demo 😄

I'm not sure i understand... Is it like a special cafe in some way? We have those and it's just a normal cafe that has board games that you can use as much as you'd like while you are there. Most people will stay more and spend more as a result. We have it in pubs also

uu ive not seen this one before, will try out the demo ^^

Raziel's Ghost @razielsghost.bsky.social · 20h

No, not a gem. Do not play this 🗑️

If anything will make me stop picking up and playing any random demo i see, it will be stuff like this. I understand buggy demos from indies, but this shit? Why was this made and how did anyone think it was in a presentable state, pure insanity.

- then you think you understand a bit about the game so you continue to harvest sticks and make another fire and ... you cant make a fire, the sticks you were picking up last are actually "hollow sticks" because the plant was different. And then theres preparing meat for cooking... there's no end

Raziel's Ghost @razielsghost.bsky.social · 1d

- just to get some ingredients that look like a fire could be made out of it. But guess what? you don't use that for fire, instead you have to find sticks from other plants, and dont worry once you find a big stick you gotta break that down too into 2 sticks that you can actually use -

You would struggle to make a more user hostile experience than this one. Every part of the game is slow and tedious and has too many steps. which trees/foliage is interactable? Who knows, try kicking or something. Wanna chop a tree? you better be ready to break down the log, and then do it again -

So, my general thing is: I love trying out demos and supporting fellow indies. Today i decided to give a Meta publishing game demo a try. Some co-op action for the evening sounded fun.

I played enough of em back in the day. I'm tired 😩

Raziel's Ghost @razielsghost.bsky.social · 1d

Not really making the comment on the meta impact, speaking as a runeblade player who was watching LL from the sidelines for a while, if thorn isnt there why do i even care to experiment with it. I think these LL weapons give as much identity as some heroes do, not having them ruins it

I'll take a look at the vid, thanks for sharing ☺️
And hope it gets better ofc

Raziel's Ghost @razielsghost.bsky.social · 1d

Yea I didn't mean you as singular but like "you small indie devs". I guess its us at that point 😅

Hows your game doing?

Just do it man, no reason to protect them when they want to prey on you.

I thought old people were the ones into like half of the things on my list 😂
Who the hell plays driving sims or 4x games, i cant imagine that attracting a young audience 😅

Still, not beating the old allegations 😭

Raziel's Ghost @razielsghost.bsky.social · 1d

Thorn was always *the* card that made LL a format in the first place. An obviously overpowered weapon that is hard to balance the game around, but thats why its in LL 😅
Without it, so much of how the LL runeblades were played before is gone (+ they are more free to build so warmongers doesnt hit em)
