I can see it working fine for turn-based games, and when done by actual game designers like Sid Meier. Common MMO problems like scalability are not easily modeled using P&P.

fishmech posted:It's a perfectly valid way to go about planning poo poo. Yes, but judging from the way that the pitch is for a super-duper all in one megagame like countless lovely projects in the past suggests to me that they're doing it because Will Wright/Sid Myer did it, not for any benefit of the process itself. Like, if I came out with the t-Phone and aped Steve Job's whole design philosophy I'd be quite rightly accused of recreating something without understanding why it was important or how to do it correctly in an attempt to replicate his success.

monster on a stick posted:Not sure if this has been posted yet, but it's pure gold, including a 26 minute (!!) pitch video: "Space-opolis" Holy poo poo I kept scrubbing through the video to see if it cuts away to rough gameplay, or concept art, or a chart, or anything. Just 26 minutes of a talking head. This is a low-rent Star Citizen but they don't even got the .jpgs to sell.

I just want to come in and talk about Meater again, because I loving hate this stupid thing and that it showed up for so goddamned long all over my Facebook feed. Meater is a lovely bluetooth thermometer that can tie in to your phone through an app or some poo poo. According to THEIR OWN TIMELINE, the kickstarter was started in September 2015, with a target of shipping in January 2016. Their latest update, here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1977846026/meater-the-first-truly-wireless-smart-meat-thermom/posts/1892146 confirms that they are beginning to ship the probes only. The other half (and basically the only thing that made this even worth looking at) is still on an indefinite hold. Not to mention one of their selling points was that a regular wired thermometer wasn't suitable for a sous vide and they are now saying that their own loving product isn't. I can't find the comments now, but surprise surprise, people are finding that a single bluetooth probe inside of a smoker doesn't have the range to be of any real use for anything without the block boosting the signal. So they're only 18 months behind schedule, when many better products have been available all along: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=wireless+thermometer I'm absolutely gobsmacked that they walked away with well over 2 million including their IndieGoGo campaign and have yet to deliver jack poo poo.

Subjunctive posted:That seems like a reasonable way to test a bunch of kinds of game mechanics, to me. Sid Meier and Will Wright talk about paper prototyping all the time. For the kinds of games those two make, P&P prototyping is awesome. For anything containing "shooting" though, it doesn't really work, even more so when you add in RPG elements. You need to be able to take in to consideration player skill, so things like cursor waver, movement speed, head-bob all matter and are now mechanics because RPG stats and equipment can modify them. It's an MMO, so persistence and view-distance matter, so do you make it all one area, or break it up, because that will affect sniper rifles and other ranged weapons to a lesser degree. Physics collisions, including between players. None of this can be modeled on paper because it involves calculations that have to be performed that are way beyond doing by hand.

Howard died in 1936, there is a bunch of Conan and Kull that is indisputably in the public domain. You can't own the copyrights on all of his published works, and since filling out a DCMA notice requires you to state under penalty of perjury that you are authorized by the rightsholder to file the takedown notice, you should be in prison. God. Just once, just one goddamned perjurious DCMA takedown notice getting someone thrown into prison on a Federal felony charge, that's all it would take. Shame it'll never happen.

I buy stuff that is basically that, but I think with a poo poo load of vitamin C too, for hiking or long overnight work shifts. I can't remember the brand name, but it's a purpleish box that it sold next to like powdered iced tea and poo poo.

It's extra dumb because if you have the time to hold your arm steady in front of your face you also have the time to drink out of any regular container that's on your desk. But I suppose if you go Kickstarter you gotta solve problems that don't exist.
