@dukope Also fun to imagine creating such a game without a computer at all.

Imagine a book of letters, photos, diaries, and other documents, together with a list of fill-in questions to answer, requiring close observation, deduction, and combination of knowledge to complete.

Played Obra Dinn from @dukope. First time I've seen a narrative deduction game that actually worked.

It's a Dune 2 moment. There's clearly a whole genre of games hidden here, waiting to be created.

@Rhopunzel You need to see this!

@NumberOneAshe I'd consider changing it for sure. I didn't want there to be too many fiddly bits in the game - super rare-use items that are useless most of the time.

@FoodRelatedName A very solid interpretation of my very questionable art!

I cannot describe this.

@mattdotam SIM design?

@Connorthrowaway You'd have to ask the store where you bought it.

We haven't revoked any keys for months, but stores can do so if there are payment problems.

@PeterLeontev @andrewcrawshaw My company is 100% remote.

@generalvivi Congrats!

@SurmanMarek @Vagineer1 @RyanSumo @SpaceHavenGame Well, there's the new XCOMs.

@Vagineer1 They mostly already are!

Fun for the whole family?

Or, how to prep a generation of hardened survivors for the new world order?

@erick_avalos915 @RyanSumo's Academia School Simulator is along the same lines as my original design, give it a try.

I just noticed that this prototype was also made after my failed magic school simulator prototype.

You can see I kept using the graphics for the students' desks in the room near the bottom.

@idewla We redid the art but the concept remains.

Screenshots from my mercenary management sim, December 17 2012.

The code behind this was later re-used for Starship Architect prototypes, which evolved into Eclipse Colony and then RimWorld.

It's charming to note that some of this code is still running in RimWorld today.

@schoos76 I actually don't agree, I think the changes from 42 to 80 were much more impactful.

Accessible jet travel, television, nuclear weapons and power, refrigerators and washing machines, personal air conditioning, various vaccines and medical advances...
