>but seeing a door that can't be opened in a game that is an open-world adventure is always pretty sad

Fallout has unpickable locks. There are even buildings you can't enter. Though it is justified in-universe because they are boarded off as people thought that would protect them from a nuclear blast.

>most pokemon houses are completely unrealistic too, without beds or bathrooms. the MC house only has one bed and no bed for their mom lol.

I forgot about that. I only thought of Pokemon because your bedroom is on the second floor of the house.

>the game takes place during a plague, where a lot of the population has died, so i didn't want to have these massive cities with absolutely nobody and nothing in them.

A city with a lot of abandoned buildings would make sense in a depopulated world. Though I think you could justify the lack of buildings by saying that they burned the houses of the dead in hopes to stop the spread of the disease. You could also have abandoned buildings where you can loot. You can even leave diaries and letters in the buildings for the sake of world building.

@projectmirai39 @Terry @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson Oh. And if you think the company behind Matrix is bad. The CEO of Telegram is partnered with the World Economic Forum.

@projectmirai39 @Terry @ChristiJunior @Dan_Hulson I disagree with the Matrix part. I'm well aware of the problems with Matrix. Either way, don't use Telegram.

@Suiseiseki @Jojothegoodperson It's actually not JavaScript. It's proprietary bytecode that is executed by a VM written in obfuscated JavaScript.

@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @menherahair @MercurialBlack If you request an account from SJW, you can probably get an account without using reCaptcha.

@Alex @beardalaxy Just only show the necessary rooms and add doors that lead to nowhere as decorations.

@menherahair @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @Jojothegoodperson @MercurialBlack SJW closed registration on fedora.email after Linder made a fedpost using a sockpuppet on DRC. He does plan to reopen registrations. My only beef with fedora.email is that registration requires reCaptcha which SJW can't find a decent alternative for. Otherwise, I think it would probably be a better alternative to cock.li because their domains are a lot less vulgar (especially the default domain).

@menherahair @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @Jojothegoodperson @MercurialBlack OMEMO works fine for me. There are like two people I have in contact with XMPP on there. I only use it because cock.li's XMPP doesn't even support OMEMO at all.

@beardalaxy It might be due to simplicity. Even the Harvest Moon games which take place in a modern-ish setting have the bedroom at the front door. I actually thought that it was actually a Japanese thing to do in real life. The only JRPG series I know of that designs houses realistically is the Mother/Earthbound series and Pokemon.

As for your game, you could just have doors that are nothing but decoration and really just lead to nowhere. Is there any point in including a NPCs bedroom unless it plays a significant part of the game?

@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @menherahair @MercurialBlack That doesn't surprise me. Like I said, I haven't even touched it since graduating college. I never even used voice chat on it.

@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @menherahair @MercurialBlack I was forced to use Discord for something a few years ago. I only ever used the web client. I haven't touched it since.

@menherahair @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @Jojothegoodperson @MercurialBlack The backgrounds on their website give me antifa vibes. The guy who runs it says that anyone can use it, regardless of ideology.

@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @menherahair @MercurialBlack Their TOS is pretty restrictive. I only use it for XMPP which I rarely even use.

@Jojothegoodperson @meso @usernameswift @Centaur @menherahair @MercurialBlack The only one I know of is Disroot.

@beardalaxy I never understood why video game characters have their bedrooms and their kitchens in the same room and at the front door.

@beardalaxy It better not be a gypsy or your game will get cancelled.
