Let's Talk About Games

I’m not a game developer but if I were to make a game, the only ideas that come to mind seem to be “I’m gonna remake my favorite game but change these things I didn’t like about it!” but I heard that’s a bad idea usually.

I have always wanted to make my own neighborhood from scratch as I tend to play Pleasantview but the sort of lots I want to make will make Pleasantview squish. And another factor is majority of pre-made neighborhood are based in America (beside Veronaville as it build as Tudor-style based as the household are based on William Shakespeare' play) which I want to play neighborhood that based around modern Britain as well... I live there.

There's something so magical about the old-school Tomb Raider games and I love that feeling of that I have explore all by my own as well as the platforming which felt later games from Tomb Raider Legend streamlined it where I missed that that platforming from A to B was a puzzle to execute.

Not so much from me. It’s fun, but I suspect once I’m done I’ll not return to it. But from my four year old daughter. She’s had a passing interest in daddy’s hobby before. With the auto driver on, she can hold interest in few laps of Mario Kart. She liked the execrable Bluey game. Everything else holds no interest.

it genuinely is.

I don’t understand why the majority of cozy games have a calendar system and or time limits. I already have a limited time on earth and I don’t want game devs to artificially restrict how I spend time in game.

For me, I am hoping to see discounts on: - Steam Deck OLED - Expedition 33 (probably worth the full price but I am not sure if the timing based combat is for me) - Fantasy Life i - Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

I love watching game reviews on YouTube, but I find many reviewers sharing these annoyances: - Loud background music making it difficult to listen to the actual review - Spending way too much time talking about the story. I only want to know the theme of the story, not the entire plot - Making it a game tutorial. It is helpful to briefly describe the game mechanics so I can find out whether the game is for me. But it becomes excessive when you explain it in detail.
