DreadKnight: there's something going on with Russia lately, because number one source of visitors for my project all of a sudden; dota2 servers are filled with russians,
they're very hated
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i play lots of
things
to
try
them out. i quit because i can't stand
the model.
too much like [lowly paid] work.
mircea_popescu: so
today alone 143 different .ru domains supposedly sent people
to
trilema.
cazalla: mircea_popescu,
these
twistys links never work for me, prob not a big deal seeing it's been all nigger dick images past few days
BingoBoingo: Only recent dell hardware I've been impressed with were
those Latitude netbooks
they made for a while
DreadKnight: MMR system is fun when you don't have
to rely on
team mates
nubbins`: online mode is where
true skill is acquired
nubbins`: cazalla it's pretty much only for
the closest of calls
cazalla: nubbins`, i've only been given a lower ranking
than i expected a few
times with
that
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, she had
the cd with Angry Birds, I hate
that game
nubbins`: they do hide rankings for a few seconds before you cross
the finish line, just in case
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight methinks you're showing
teenage girls
the wrong
things.
DreadKnight: showed a
teenage girl Angry Birds, she was like "please uninstall", showed her Super
Tux Kart, "woah,
this is fun!"
nubbins`: guys,
this game you're
talking about sounds v complicated and nothing at all like mario kart 8
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, yeah, played
that one as well, I was a moba junkie, it was part of
the experience and motivation when designing Ancient Beast
nubbins`: guy says "i didn't
think it had a crown on
the
top"
DreadKnight: and
there's
the situation where a noob from your
team auto attacks instead of last hitting only or last hitting your creeps away from you when you're carry and he's support *sigh*
nubbins`: so i create "keep calm and <verb related
to business> on", complete with royal crown
nubbins`: lel. customer wants "keep calm logo, like on
the chive shirts"
DreadKnight: nubbins`,
thanks for recommendation, looks fun
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight o i
think i
tried something like
this at one
time, ragnarsomething
nubbins`: girl's name is Dawn Weiner, classic
tragedy
nubbins`: about
the same, yeah, just filmed in
the 80s instead of pretending it was ;D
HeySteve: nubbins,
this looks like napoleon dynamite kinda movie
DreadKnight: and
there's
the
team mate
that always does nothing but steals your kills on purpose, just because, him being support and you being a carry
DreadKnight: so everyone wants
the kills, but you can't have 5 carries in a
team, no doubt, because
there's not enough farm / gold, mircea_popescu
HeySteve: ha funnily enough, I do sing kinda flat.
tried a few bands but never became a rockstar
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, carry is
the "Rambo" of
the game,
the one dealing damage but very item Dependant and squishy
nubbins`: ;;google hey steve i
think your singing was a little flat
that
time
DreadKnight: sometimes
the matches are over before
they even begin, all picking a carry instead of getting proper roles, or randoming and getting heroes
they know what
to do with
DreadKnight: 5vs5 sucks; you can't play with anyone on
the globe because of latency, you can't play with friends because
they're noobs for sure, it's harder
than having a band and you are stuck in a chair all day without making any money
DreadKnight: one feeds, another one gets support and doesnt buy a ward / curier, one is afk, one disconnects, one
thinks he's carry with
the support, one has
tank but he's always last in
team fight, another one has initiator but he doesn't initiate crap and so on
DreadKnight: I'm really starting
to hate having
to
team up with random people in online multiplayer games, nothing good comes out of it usually
DreadKnight: a lot of item
trading spam or swearing / flaming :D
DreadKnight: every country has a few rooms, lots of
trading or random channels
DreadKnight: ThickAsThieves,
the chat is right side in
the main menu
DreadKnight: HeySteve, I agree; I'm keeping pay
to win
totally away from free
to play; hated
that I played Ancient Summoner (now called Rise of Mythos) and I was pawning most players, but everytime I was fighting a noob
that put a few bucks in
the game, I was getting humiliated, I eventually quit playing because of
that
ThickAsThieves: pump out new characters, new costumes for
the old ones, and never update
the actual game much
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
this is
the benefit of aging. you start
to realise your
time is worth more
than money.
DreadKnight: was checking reviews for a
tablet a few months ago and
the
tablet was pink, most reviews were like "and it's awesome
that it's pink, my daughter will love it", mom also got a pink phone *sigh*
HeySteve: ThickAsThieves I guess so yeah, but I don't like
the pay
to win kind of
thing at all
HeySteve: just like real life, most people
think appearance > substance
ThickAsThieves: HeySteve i
thought it was retarded at first,
turns out its way less retarded
than raiding for 80 hours
to make your hero look dope
DreadKnight: will definitely want
the main character fully customizable
HeySteve: people love
their in-game bling / customisation stuff
DreadKnight: eventually
there will be custom skins and such; seems a lot of people care about vanity items in dota2 rather
than carry about increasing
their gameplay skills
DreadKnight: initially wanted
to allow buying individual units, but did a bit game design research and seems
this is more fun and profitable and balanced, people won't buy only over powered units and some want
to collect
them all, so
they might have
to buy and buy until
they're satisfied or out of funds
DreadKnight: if you really want
to have
the random element in
that is
DreadKnight: it can easily be fixed, have lots of game modes in mind; basically you can just assign random limited unit pools
to each player
mircea_popescu: i have some hard in-principle
things
that can disqualify a proposition, but
they're pretty sparse.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, I guess you have some
terms,
the poker / randomness stuff?
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight ok, let me put it
this way : so far you're making it impossible
to be helped. now, lots of people circle
this chan in
the hopes of getting some support, you're way ahead of
them
through a combination of good luck and good luck.
HeySteve: the intro with Queen song was pretty rad
tho
HeySteve: I saw
that, needed more PC master race
assbot: Video Games:
The Movie (2014) - IMDb
DreadKnight: like I said for
the business model, subscription granting access
to more game modes, digital merchandise (card packs / lifes , food / boosters, skins), physical merchandise and fees from betting currency (as spectator or player)
DreadKnight: quite a few seen "Video Games
the movie" and asked "what about open source?", well, open source game dev is not even on
the map for proper reasons, but I want
to show it's possible
DreadKnight: as in, I can't spend
tremendous amounts of
time working on it along with other people if it wouldn't sustain itself, not
to mention me eventually
DreadKnight: there was no point
to it if
there was no business plan
mircea_popescu: mkay. well, can you
turn all
this into a business plan ?
DreadKnight: I use every single dollar efficiently and know
to bargain
DreadKnight: yeah, donations, it wasn't worth much but I held on
to
those coins and sold when it started
to get fatty
DreadKnight: well, current prototype so far was funded with bitcoins, hopefully it will continue
that way
DreadKnight: just making sure, was really confused at first, because we were
talking art assets in
the project channel
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, so
the assets part is kinda like in stock market, not "art assets"?
DreadKnight: A lot of people leave
this country, including my best friends...
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, got a bit caught up reading
that blog post,
though it's related
to current situation a bit, about using
the proper
terms :D

mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i lived for a while in
timisoara, cluj before
that.
BingoBoingo: “We need Darwinism
to sneak back into our society. We [medical community] have propped up
too many people
that shouldn’t be alive
today which has allowed
the creation of ‘super idiots’
that
the world has never seen before. Seriously, has anybody seen
the movie Idiocracy..we are starting
to live it.”

DreadKnight: or even investors, as long as
the strings aren't forever
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu,
there are several ways of spreading a webgame as well, "web publishers" like facebook, fgl.com, gamejolt.com and many more -
the game is easy
to embed anywhere actually
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight im
thinking more in
the sense of
the larger entity you get backstopped against.
assbot: Newly Diagnosed One-Handed Man:
Totally Worth it | Medical Satire - GomerBlog
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight you're
thinking publisher in
the sense of
the world of atari, making hardware cartridges.
