SAUCE'S PROFILE

I believe that Tau's second screenshot is supposed to be a marsh. Swampy kind of place.

I prefer allow easy skip battle over insta win battle.

I think more likely the choice is they'll stop playing altogether if they're frustrated with the battles or find a certain part of the game boring, which is the greater problem to worry about.

This is the point. There could be other elements to the game they'd rather be playing or experiencing, and certain portions of the game are just a bother.

That original C.) wasn't valid. If the game developer lets you skip battles, then by nature it's not cheating. Cheating would be doing something the game developer did not intend. Like opening the editor and giving your character max level and max money.



At the end of the day, it's all up to the dev how they want their game to be played. Usually, it's to let the gamer skip something even the dev doesn't think is all that important. Like a mission briefing before a bullet hell type game. It's there if you want to see it, but you can skip it to get to the real action, it's not that big a deal.

I dunno, admission of flawed gameplay is assuming a bit much. You may be right, but that could also just be completely a design choice...

I don't feel like doing this anymore, let's move on to the interrogating, that kind of thinking.

I start with a premise. Then I fill in the gaps as I go.

It's really not that bad at all in RM, because of how easy it is to retroactively change your story.

I mean you're bound to come up with new ideas as you go. No point in limiting yourself. I recently created a new country just to make one (already completed) scene cooler.

Though, honestly, I don't think this is what you're talking about.

I'll put it this way, writing is a skill. Obviously. Some writers are much better at spontaneous writing than others. Others need to plan it out in advance.

A similar example could be music. Somebody could sit down at the piano and play an impromptu masterpiece. Others might need some sheet music or some practice.

Yeah, most of us can't keep a story straight if we write it on the spur of moment, but hey, some people might be damn good writers. So, yes, it's certainly possible to enjoy a spontaneous story.
