Chronicling Aidyn 3-25: Sort of Seen Off

I also remember at a few points, the dialogue was actually somewhat randomized, and in at least one instance you can't proceed until the clueless Alaron figures out the right thing to say on his own.

Censorship and Security Paradoxes

I am 100% okay with White supremacist horseshit being de-platformed, here, there, everywhere. You can tell anyone I said this. Put it on a billboard. Write it in the sky.

"But Solitayre, what if someday they come for you?"

Acting like this is some all or nothing opening of the floodgates is hysteria. There's room in the world for people to have 'free speech' and for Nazi propagandists to not have their videos show up in YouTube video recommendations. Yes, it requires people to be vigilant. Maybe it's good that we have people like y'all worried about it. But this isn't a line I'm not willing to cross.

Censorship and Security Paradoxes

Frankly, I think this is a completely valid concern even if phrased inelegantly. There is a definite devaluation of free speech that is an ongoing trend in the Western world and we should ALL be concerned. Even if the speech is speech we disagree with, disturbing precedents are being set.

I kind of like how because it's Alaron, who sucks, the unwinnable fight that he's not good enough to win yet is against....common goblins.

This game had many, many faults, but I liked that Alaron honestly and truly starts the game pathetically weak and has to grow into being a hero. (and the game realizes this, and gives you a strong starter to help prop him up for a while.)

Eh, I'm sure he'll be fine...

Sorry you had a bad time! Yeah, this game was developed in two weeks and we definitely didn't have time to extensively test the final boss(es), nor did we manage to work all of the kinks out of the shooting system. I think it would benefit a lot from 'mercy invincibility' (being immune to damage for a few frames after getting hit; think Mario) which we unfortunately didn't think to include at the time.

hali, why is your name green?

So what's that make Soli now? Just a great unwashed pleb like the rest of us?


I prefer to think of it as ascending to a higher plane of existence, much like Jesus, Obi Wan Kenobi, or around half of the women in the Ys series.
