Two problems with characters killing the gameplay options

I don't think most players would even go down that path. When playing a game they don't exactly put themselves in the mindset of the character to that extent. As the dev who came up with the idea with that in mind, it's probably only you and the odd person who likes to roleplay games like a pro.

I would guess that most players are still in their own mindset, thinking about themselves solving the puzzles. Using whatever hints the game is giving. Not about how the digital character would solve the puzzles given the same hints. That kind of thinking is best left with story telling and not interactive gameplay. Like when an actor thinks "I don't need to understand this, my character does".

Maybe if it was a cutscene where the character solves puzzles without player involvement. Like if my party member was a helpless puppy and we got separated, and then the puppy ends up solving a labyrinth of puzzles to meet me at the rendezvous point. I might question how that happened, or assume it was a joke by the dev. But if I was controlling that puppy I would think, this is me playing a game so it doesn't matter that a puppy is colorblind and would never be able to match up these red blue and green objects.

Computer exploded early last week. Defect in water cooling system. Blue Ray player ruined, carpet stained, case damaged. The company is finally ready to talk comphensation. Only took 15 emails, pics, video... (After I built an entirely new, superior rig.)

Samsung makes computers now?

Excuse me while I spit out these strange words that ended up in my mouth :P Why would someone want to stick up for that guy! haha

I dislike him more than yous guys so I wasn't saying it excuses his behavior. Only to say he's not exactly trolling. He's just, at the very least, unstable.

My mental problems include not being able to finish making a game.

Oh, uh while I'm here, Liberty is doing an awesome job running the site. Two thumbs up.

Have you played Final Fantasy I? Why not?

I've never heard of Warmech before. That's pretty cool!

I think Corf, by his own admission, had mental problems. But who knows/cares. Maybe we all have mental problems to some degree.

Ah yes, I see him in the eyes but the rest is all Howard. Accidents huh? At some we need to examine your subconscious I think :P

The robots issue is, apparently, caused by being logged in on two browsers/devices. Make sure you log out before logging in elsewhere.

I went to my phone which is the only other place I'd be signed in and I was signed out.

I can't start a new thread because robots aren't allowed.
Still happening.



I was going to start a whole new thread about it, but you know...
I guess I got lucky with the Misaos thread working in Welp, nothing is working now.
I'm having this same issue. I've followed all the suggestions and nothing works so far. My computer is Vista and IE8, I don't even get the robot box in IE. I'll keep trying a few more things. I have no AV at all and nothing else that would interfere.

I'm using FF. At first I just had to click I am not a robot, but I was doing preview a few times, and eventually I had to click the boxes with fireworks, but every time it says I'm a robot.

Edit: Tried logging out in FF. Installed Chrome. Still not working. Will try another computer later.
