im excited to do the pretentious jam. i have an idea for a video game.
- a problem i have is that a lot of my game ideas are narrative heavy BUT that’s not the kind of game i personally play. i mash thru textboxes. ive gotten stuck in tutorial loops for dozens of minutes because they want you to select a different option than the default
- so… idk if i would even play the game if i didn’t make it.
¯_(ツ)_/¯ in other news, the wire is kind of a period piece now (in the sense its a piece of its period). they use pagers, wiretaps on pay phones, film cameras, etc. it’s really good in fleshing out what the end of the analogue era was in its milieu… it’s kinda like balzac or something where there’s a lot of value that’s not strictly relevant to the narrative, which is also good!
