Do your games have a continuity?

My games (half finished projects) don't have a continuity per se, but I sometimes reuse names or characters. Either because I'm too lazy to come up with new characters, or because I feel I can do something different/better with an already existing character. For example, Zach Almus, the main character from Steel Spirit SaGa is a party member in a RMXP game I plan to finish in the near future. Because it would be interesting to see how I write him in a world where he isn't the main character and he doesn't have his reputation to shield him from the more harsher discrimination that comes with someone who can't use magic in magic based worlds.

I started slowly working my way through Armored Core 4 Being a sucker for giant robots and all. I love the amount of customisation in Armored Core series. And strangely enough, as infuriating as it can be. I love how the game punishes you for doing poorly in a mission by deducting money from you. It encourages you to keep replaying the mission until (in some cases) you can finish the mission within the damage and ammo quota with your eyes closed and close relatives/loved ones nagging you in both your ears.

I picked up Death's Gambit on steam and. I'm kind of enjoying it so far. The visuals, soundtrack, and combat are really good so far. But my main bugbear with the game is that attacks and rolling uses up way too much stamina. Which in boss fights doesn't make for the fun times. Even when bumping endurance up as much as I can I still find I only have enough stamina for one hit and then roll.

A friend and I have been playing The Forest on steam. It's a neat little game, even does fall into the trappings of a generic wilderness survival game with crafting elements. It's fun enough. But the hunger meter starts going crazy at you when it's at 50%, which can get real annoying when you're exploring and you have the little icon flashing at you and a message saying you're hungry. I'd have preferred it if the hunger meter started nagging you when it was at say 25% instead.

What are you thinking about? (game development edition)

I'm working on some finer points/making some small changes to the story of the second project I'm working on. The main character is a templar for The Creed, one of the six main religions in the game, and his sister is a central pillar of the same religion. The roles of the main character and his sister mirror the roles of the two legendary figures that founded The Creed. The thing is the two founders were lovers, not siblings. Should I keep them as siblings or change it around so it doesn't come across as really weird?

just finished reading Ubik by Philip K Dick. I have a feeling that book is going to keep me up at night.

Flow my tears the policeman said

I have literally just started reading Flow My Tears. I recently got my hands on Ubik, Flow my Tears the Policeman Said, and Time Out of Joint. I'm working my way through them.

He did have a rather unfortunate surname.

I recently finished The Surge twice. And I've been trying a magic build on Dark Souls Remaster. However, with the announcements of Sekiro, Nioh 2, and Ghost of Tsushima I want to finish Nioh, so I've picked that up again and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

pyramid_head: that's why i keep multiple save slots in every game i play... i don't trust most designers.
I should have guessed really. I rotated my saves on Vagrant Story in case I royally screwed myself over.

Axiom VergeProbably my fifth play of this game? I've been able to get to, and beat, Uruku without cheats. However, Gir-Tab destroys me. Every. Single. Time.
I played the shit out of Axiom Verge on my PS4 when my PC was out of commission. That boss is a pain. But it's one of the cooler bosses in that game. Have you used the Justin Bailey code in Axiom Verge?

I've recently been carrying my friend through Bloodborne. Dark Souls 1, 2, and 3 were my jam. But I totally forgot how awesome Bloodborne is.

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions. I had to start a new game because I was ill prepared for the battle at the execution grounds.

As a left handed. I use my left.
