  • I’m not looking for a d6 fantasy game right now, but I’m super interested in their momentum based resource management system. I also appreciate that they actually pay their writers, and am curious as to what kind of modules they’ll be releasing in support of the game.













  • This is really good!

    One thing that stands out to me on the reverse view - other than the Roger Rabbit tire, of course - is the shame of the roof as you move toward the front. The front view seems to suggest the slope comes down to be almost parallel with the ground, while the reverse view suggests it points up like 20 degrees. I don’t know which is ground truth for this model car, but I suspect it comes close to parallel with the ground.

    I can see where it looks like you made changes to the front height of the drivers side window. It’s possible you went a millimetre too high or so there.

    But that’s just nitpicking. Again, it’s a really great sketch.





  • People spending more time with fewer games is not a reason, in publishers’ minds, to reverse course. It’s the intended outcome.

    Having the same number of people (or near the same number) playing fewer games, and filling those games with monetization features is cheaper and easier to maintain than having a broad and growing library of titles.

    Remember, the ideal for publishers is to have one game that everyone plays that has no content outside of a “spend money” button that players hit over and over again. That’s the cheapest product they can put out, and it gives them all the money. They’re all seeking everything-for-nothing relationships with customers.
