Save one of two party members, get to one place of two? I hate it when games cut off one of options! You say it makes the story more dramatic and adds value to the choice? No way! That just makes you replay the game, and hopefully from the last savegame not from the start. I have it that way that choice of one option is the lazy's lot. There must be a path where you break the fingers against the controller and replay it thirty times but save ALL and GET EVERYTHING! I hate unhappy endings! It's like the developers say "we watched you play and were not pleased. Have a worthless ending. Next time play better, please us!" I prefer having a normal, happy ending. And a bonus one that is even better, and those who really put effort into game are rewarded with it. Now that I am making a game, I understand I sell fun to people. And the choice between fun and more fun! And, damnit, not between fun and lack of it!

The innocence is gone. The bright eyed and hopeful DAHR has seen the truth, and it smells like money.

2015-04-01 06:07:25 +0000 UTCNot sure if I completely understand the point you're trying to make. Personally, I think that a game that forces you to make certain choices that affect the outcome has a lot more replay value than a simple linear game with just one outcome. And sometimes getting "everything" just isn't a viable option. For example, let's say that your playing a Xena: Warrior Princess game in which you are a rival amazon Queen at war with Gabrielle's amazon tribe. Then, yes, it would be nice if you have the option (for really smart players) to not only make Gabrielle your bitch but also Xena. But perhaps there's ALSO an option that when you make lots of wrong choices you end up being Xena's (and/or Gabrielle's bitch). In the latter case you obviously can't have every possibility in one game. One a side note, love these sexy Xena and Gabrielle drawings, Dahr. Is that from a special project you're working on, a commission, or just for fun? In any case, I hope to see some high resolution version of those pics.
