@PhenomX6 Indeed has the worst job suggestions, but it's better than having a fucking LinkedIn account.

So it seems more like a Majora's Mask style game. It probably would've been better if you had it mostly set in a single town or hub area. Doing that on a full scale RPG map would be difficult. I mean, Majora's Mask had most of it's NPCs and side-quests in Clock Town while the rest of the map was mostly dungeons and the occasional shop or minigame. You rarely see games with a massive overworld while having NPC scheduling, outside of western RPGs which are huge in scope and take a huge amount of time, budget, and people to make.

I think you are also trying to solve the problem of most RPG/adventure game NPCs being nothing more than information dispensaries, and you are doing that by giving each NPC their own schedule. A much simpler approach is just to give each NPC a unique personality by using clever dialog and give them additional dialog if the player backtracks to their location even long after they've completed their relevant quest.

For example, you could have an NPC that is building a house. After completing each dungeon he progresses further on completing the house. There might be relevant side quests that are unlocked during these times. Earthbound was famous for having NPCs like that and it didn't have NPC scheduling.

Of course, it's too late to change things now, but I hope you understand that what you are trying to make is difficult for even AAA developers. Can you imagine a game like Majora's Mask on an Ocarina of Time sized overworld? (maybe yes after BoTW, but still)

@Tadano Well C# also has both. The only difference is that in C# you are more likely to use references just like in Java (pointers just being a bonus feature for more advanced users), while in C++ you are more likely to use pointers because you would naturally be use to them.

>C++ has both references AND pointers.

Why do you have to add more features just to make everything confusing?

Reminder that the Global Pandemic Treaty is still a thing and is planned to be passed by 2024.

It even includes that the US is basically the military enforcement of the WHO.

@icedquinn @beardalaxy Well one of the first CRPGs was developed by a high schooler so it is possible. Granted, it was probably MUCH smaller in scope.

>Massive, open world game dev has been hell. It's a lot easier to do that in a D&D campaign where you can do a lot of improv on the spot if you have to and then jot it down afterward.

Are you seriously going the western-style RPG route for your game? Most indie RPGs appear to be JRPG inspired right down to their structure. I can't even think of a single open-world indie RPG.

@beardalaxy @icedquinn I know you have a busy schedule, but you NEED to learn to make sacrifices if you want to achieve your goals. Try to cut off things that you don't do for a living. That does NOT mean cutting of your social life. If D&D is your only social outlet, maybe try smaller campaigns or don't try to host two campaigns at once.

@beardalaxy Let me guess. All your unused video game ideas went into that D&D campaign or this is just an excuse not to work on your game.

The dungeon crawler project got too complex, so I decided to abandon it for now. I decided to make a clone of one of my all time favorite arcade games, Spy Hunter.

@pawlicker @sjw @lanodan Wow! The fighting game community isn't a hugbox unlike the speedrunning community.

@sjw @lanodan Oh yeah, that one weird adaptive controller that looks like a high school electrical engineering project.
