One of the most fascinating games I have ever played. It's a fairly small and simple game, but with some of the most compelling writing I've seen and surprisingly memorable characters.
Isn't System Shock 2 also kind of a Survival Horror game? 🤔
Are there any "Survival" games that are about dealing with the challenges of travelling through the wilderness rather than crafting your way up to your Flintstone Mansion?
Probably something for a very niche audience, but something I'd really be interested in.
Musing about comparisons between #ttrpg, and #videogames.
I feel like one interesting difference is that, as a videogame designer, you have to come up with interesting solutions to any problem you present to your players, because no solution can exist outside of what you put in the game (caveat for #imsim maybe? but even then you have to make sure some solution does exist lest you'll just lock the game).
On the other hand, as a ttrpg DM building an adventure, you can (and maybe should?) put in obstacles without envisionning yourself how to bypass them, because your players will be the one coming up with clever (or, more often than not, bonkers and silly) solutions from the top of their heads.
Yo, we've got a nice little video showing off progress for our restoration project, which just happens to be Duke Nukem Forever 2001, check it out:
Is Metal Gear Solid a third person ImSim series? 🤔
A survival horror game inspired by System Shock: Zero Protocol

As a fan of the Fallout/Stalker/RPG/ImSim sphere of games, I had heard that there is something called Atomfall, and I think I saw it in some kind of Upcoming Games compilation a long time ago, but somehow I've not heard anything about it since its release.
My latest game mechanic idea for a sneaky spy and saboteur ImSim is to have equipped weapons have a different drawing speed based on their size, and to have a suspiciousness meter (basically social stealth) affected by what weapons you have equipped or drawn.
And you can only climb with one-handed weapons, and maybe even run and jump slightly better with less stuff in your hands.
Making having more firepower have benefits and drawbacks.
