Tynan is not a real game designer.

Tynan has never designed a game in his life. He only designs luck generators like you'll find in a casino. .....

I finally found an answer to that :

Rimworld is nothing like a Casino. You Pay only once and you get the Whole Game without DRM, DLC, PTW, Micro Transaction and all the other casino bullshit modern ~~Game~~Paydesign From TripleA to Free Mobile Apps gives you.
Instead you get an active gamer and modding community which is still active years after the release of the final game.

The gameplay itself is deceptivly easy, while solving the problems the Game throws at you require actual thinking.
Again, nothing like a Casino.
If you feel inclined to mention Poker or Blackjack, which require thinking and strategy.
Those are actually the Games where the Casino could loose money.
... actually .. for Poker the Casino wins all around, because it is only used as location.. the Players have to bring and lose or win their own money .. no Casino Money is actually at risk.

It is truly a garbage mechanic that crops have such a high chance to be insta-killed. No skill involved - just an rng sh*t on the player. You think those crops are just an optional part of survival LOL?

bruh, indoor growing, hunting, cannibalism, trading, send out a hunting party to the next cell, or grow a variety of crops like people do IRL to survive, food grows at different rates so maybe if you have potatoes and other things you'd have have some food while you wait for corn to grow. No skill my @$$, you've tried one strategy that was already poorly thought out and are now blaming the game. This is a very strong case of sad cause bad.

Quote from: LWM on January 05, 2020, 11:39:27 AM(I will point out that Capitalist policies meant that Irish was still exporting lots of food during the famine, the rich bastards kept all the food and let the poor starve. At least we don't have THAT in RimWorld?

No...in Rimworld we enjoy superior Kommunist policies which cause my fellow colonist survivors to stave even without blight. We're then forced to butcher, cook and eat them while selling bolo hats made from their skin.

I hope you can forgive me, but I'm going to go out on a limb here....and disagree with the OP.

I chosen to be a class name and not a variable name.

I was expecting a better quality troll. Something about a dwarf fortress ripoff, or borrowing modder ideas too much, or other accusations that are silly but at least have some basis in the actual gameplay of Rimworld. Even a complaint about the game being shallow due to no Z axis would be better haha.

Though I admit the casino thing had some surprise factor to it, in a game where people can nearly guarantee survival on normal biomes/settings at merciless.

Let me dab on this Topic...

Also i finally changed my profile picture after all those years...

RicRider · February 05, 2020, 08:50:42 AM

Your post had me wondering, 'why is this dolt trying to grow crops in an inhospitable climate?' But then I remembered that this is precisely how evolution works. The dumb have to die for the smart to live.

Kirby23590 · February 05, 2020, 08:56:04 AM

Something like that...

Or otherwise known as the Survival of the fittest or "It's killed or be killed" in those lines...

In other words... Hydroponics or indoor farms... And learning from your mistakes...

Which made me wonder if the OP learned from that...

I'm waiting for the author to give us a link to a video game that he has designed since they are obviously an expert in game design.

As a fellow game developer (Software / Solution Developer full time) I can attest to how difficult and time consuming making a game - especially with in depth mechanics this game has such as Pawn AI, animal AI, environmental disasters and so on).

I am developing a game with a few similar systems and it is far from easy:

In my opinion, the author of this thread can stuff his opinion where the sun don't shine.

PS: I'd also like to bring attention to how much of a scared coward this person is given the fact their username and any reference to their real self is bogus.

I want to offer the OP a hug, free of charge.

ManHuntingSquirrel · February 17, 2020, 06:43:43 PM

Can we turn this post into a shitpost thread?

Tynan · February 18, 2020, 03:41:27 AM

Alright alright, while I certainly invite criticism (and won't ban if even if it's unreasonable) it seems clear there's some element of trolling here and the bait is being taken. This isn't productive. So I'm going to lock this.

As the rules state, anger venting is not what this forum is for. Of course, criticism with intent to help is welcome on the appropriate forums (including this one).
