I know right? it was begging for a horror soundtrack

Kinda reminds me of the Mother series, but way more violent lol

It was sort of like dyslexia though, at least until you leveled your reading skill. Still one of my favorite games of all time though. Very excited for KCD 2!

KCD does a million things right. Illiteracy is one. I also had a soft spot for the treasure maps. It was so fun to go treasure hunting while having no gps map-marker showing where the treasure was hidden, but you had to use these hand drawn sketches that weren't all that precise. I also liked how the game handled food, drink and sleep. Like when Henry got sleepy he would start dozing off, which would be a major encumberance when you're trying to do anything at all. Also food would grant bonuses and some healing, but you can't eat an indefinite amount of food before you get full, and being too full gave significant debuffs. The way clothes and armour worked was also very logical and great. Some clothes are flashy and good for making a good impression during social interactions. Others make you less noticeable, and not just in the sense of physical camouflage but also in a social sense that you just look like a random peasant that people don't take notice of.

Its never too early to start game development!

Because you’re five - remember you’re five.

Now I’m illiterate??

You can't really have a game without some kind of end to structured society. What's the game office job 3?

@@jeremyscungio16 You don't necessarily need an end to structured society, you just usually have your character acting outside of it. That can be due to a collapse, or just cuz they're criminals, or they're living somewhere where the regular rules don't apply. "Office Job 3" games are also kinda thriving as well tbh, Stardew and the cozy games, Power Wash sim and the satisfying games.

​@@LikeACroutonthe Dungeon Master's Guide of 3.5e dnd has a great description on how this works In the overworld, or general society, you'll still have laws, culture, religion, etc. But once you stray off the path, or enter the dungeon, the rules change. That's why a lawful good paladin is in the right to nearly indiscriminately slay cultists in their "dungeon", but has to be more careful of his behavior elsewhere. It's not always applicable, and I probably did a terrible job of explaining it, but the idea behind it has always been really intrigueing to me

Whats an IP bro?

@@jeremyscungio16 Wagecage escape: wrath of the cage 3

That's where the money is, in all aspects of culture. Want a new adventure movie IP? Nope - here's Indiana Jones 6

If you want to support new IPs, buy and support indie games if you aren't already.

@@JediFan421 THIS.

Same. Even if your new IP is bad or not very thought through, there's still value in the fact that you set out to make something new. Instead of just trying to ride the coat tails of someone elses IP. Or the worst transgression of all: taking someone elses IP, changing it and bastardizing it beyond recognition. Sadly we've seen a lot of the latter kind lately.

​@@JediFan421I do when something interesting comes up. My favourite indie game has to be the survival horror game Darkwood by the small Polish dev team Acid Wizard. With that said: for a long time it felt like indie games did nothing but walking simulators and 2d scrollers with dark and edgy Tim Burton-esque graphics, and this lack of originality was a big turn off.

"I tell people about only using amnesia once" Come onnnn Tim, just admit you gave Robert Kurvitz career advice :P

I’m in the bathroom listening to Tim talk and I hear breathing. For a second I got some horror vibes. “Is someone breathing? Wtf is that? Ohhhh must be a dog of camera”. I didn’t know the breathing was coming from Tim’s video lmfao

its soo distarcting when you notice it lol sleepy dog

@@rrrrthats4rs why, did he do multiple amnesia's? lmao

I was like, is there iron lung in the background 😂

I really want Tim to take up stock photo modelling as a hobby.

Yes but in KCD you play as an adult peasant in a relatively civilized land. There's still infrastructure and tutors etc out there that can teach you to read. Not the same scenario as the one in Tim's story, where the kid is on his own in an apocalypse, and never learned how to read beforehand, and probably never will

In Quake 4, alien text turns into English when the player character gets an alien neural implant.

there was Heart of Darkness way before limbo

i remember those shadowy bastards

Off the top off my head I think it sold platinum on PS at the very least.

I remember it. The game was in dev for 6+ years, started in 1992 , released in 1998. So what started as state of the art pixel graphics supported by rendered cutscenes and backgrounds was outdated heavily but the graphical progress at that time. The screen resolution was 256*192, which was a "who even does that?" at that time. You can see fragments of that history in reviews saying "the game runs but it's only using 80% of my screen" because no monitor since ages supports below 320*240. Thanks to the retro revival it would seem less dated now than it was at the time of release.

Tim talking about games with child deaths made me think of Heart of Darkness as well. It had positively sadistic death animations at times - worse, even, than Limbo despite the colourful themes. It was the one game that I felt "got me" when I was 12 yo. There was no pandering, only a authentic understanding of the mind of a 12 yo boy. We used to draw similar gnarly deaths in the margins of our notebooks at school, and here suddenly we had a game about all about those kind of sketchbook deaths, lol.

Traumatized for life.

games taking too much time to develop is a AAA problem and a management problem. those same companies could make games in 2 years instead of 5. a large number of these games that took 4+ years and costed hunders of millions are also of lower quality than AA games that took 1 year and like 3 million too.

I'm not in the industry, so far from an expert, but I imagine a big part of it is also games lasting longer. GTA 6 didn't have to come out in 2 years because GTA 5 has been in continuous development instead, through GTA Online. Nobody really cares much for a Dota 3, when the second one isn't even in a completely "finished" state.

Kingdom Come Deliverance did something similar.

Also, Heaven's Vault.

Aselia the Eternal is probably the most striking example of this. The game throws the main character into a different world and everything is gibberish while you slowly learn the language. The voice acting is also done in this fantasy language, so the experience is very immersive. Final Fantasy X did this with the Al Bhed language, you need to get a bunch of primers to completely decipher it. Although the use of Al Bhed in the game is not that prevalent, so it's not a big deal if you don't get it.

Love this idea. This concept has tons of potential.

I mean to say that it is fascinating to me 🤦‍♂️

why would he do that?

@@arcan762 To inject some good design into the industry etc
