My lava lamp game is based in ancient rome during Mt. Vesuvius eruption. Our plucky main character scampers away from the lava and snatches an apple from a fruit vendor dying in agony

Vesuvius would've cooked Pompeii and Herculaneum in under a second once the heat surge arrived. It would be too fast to hurt if you were outside. Now people hidden in basements that got killed by collapsing roofs, that's a different story.

Thursday Next posted:This is a good example of why I still love my dead gay forums - I actually learn poo poo here. Who knew I'd learn a fact about the Vesuvius explosion in a thread about a JRPG? In that case, have some bonus education. I'm not an expert, but I remember some of the articles when the new findings were reported. The pyroclastic surge is what would have killed the people outside in Pompeii. A pyroclastic surge is a mass of gas, ash, and rock fragments that moves almost like a fluid; it's a lighter version of a pyroclastic flow, but a surge has more volcanic gases and can more easily roil uphill and around obstacles. They can move up to about 250-300 miles per hour; the Mount St. Helens pyroclastic surges were in that range. There's a few kinds and stages of pyroclastic surges, but because of the time since Vesuvius the results are kind of mixed together by now. When the bodies were first found buried in pyroclastic junk, they were believe to have writhed in agony because they're in unusual positions and sometimes contorted. More studies suggested that what happened is that the thermal shock from the base surge hit and killed them immediately - the surge Vesuvius would have produced would probably have been in the 600F range, and moving 250+ miles per hour. This knocks people and objects over, and also causes a spasm in dead bodies when it does really unpleasant things to cell structure (and the water in muscle cells) called the cadaveric spasm; it causes the muscles to seize and then lock, like extremely rapid rigor mortis. Then they were buried and twisted around by the movement of the ash-cloud parts of the pyroclastic surges, which hit with more force and can bury things as they lead into the ground surge stage. All of this is more educational than anything in Thermidor. Prism fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Jan 12, 2017 |

It wouldn't be any less historically inaccurate. Thermaldor. As an aside to hyperdevbox so I'm sort of on topic: I wanted to like the concept, because I love history and also RPGs, but sadly you couldn't grab me for the reasons previously mentioned in this thread and the one you ditched. Maybe try again some year, after some real hard work. Prism fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jan 12, 2017 |

I liked HyperDevBox waaay back in the day for porting more involved titles to Android when everyone else was completely ignoring the platform. Sure, Spectral Souls ain't exactly the best thing out there, but it's not like Square wanted anything to do with the platform back then so it was all we had, and the porting was competent. So this... this is a shame. I don't blame them for having ambitions, and I'm not even as opposed to the notion of trivializing a complicated and violent period in history as everyone else is (children's entertainment has done that for ages). But porting some PSP games to Android and slapping a virtual joystick on them isn't a basis for asking people for money on a completely original title. You've got to have SOMETHING meaningful to show, and PR that's willing to listen rather than get defensive and fight back at the slightest resistance or provocation, because you're asking for our money.
