What are the first things you think of while out on the trail? If yes, why do you not like it? Do you have developers who make games about this kind of thing?
I see you’re a great outdoorsmann!
Hi jbk, I have never been outdoorsman!
Me too!
I’m entering the dad life full-time, and I’ve never been more envious of how people can be so outdoorsy and yet still maintain some level of comfort with their lives. So, please be the dad I was, and please help me be the dad others aspire to be. I’d appreciate any help.
This is great advice. Thank you for sharing. It’s a good thing for a young developer. I’ve always been a very outdoorsy person, and it’s a very difficult job, but I’m pleased to be doing it.
Thanks for the wonderful questions! I’m glad you answered your own questions, and I am looking forward to hearing your answers again later here at the Trail of the Pack, a game I wrote that I wanted to make. Thanks for the AMA!
I hate having to tell people the difference between your favorite trails and the others because they are boring and boring alone. I always feel like this is the most important answer in this sub.
I have also had friends that were on a hike and I hated them for it. It made me wish they would stop and I would stop again.
It’s just a matter of perspective.
I’m not a fan of this kind of stuff. I’m a bit of a hindu myself, and it definitely bothers me that you can’t do any of the things you’ve mentioned. I mean, when I go to a temple, I often see people carrying bags and stuff, and they’re not wearing anything. My favorite part is the huge stone in the middle that forms the entrance to the temple. How can I be sure that’s the correct place to put something? What would be the best way to put it?
I don’t know what you’re talking about, but there is no point in going to a temple if you can’t even do a walk or hike to the temple.
I love the fact that there’s such a thing as “the best way to put something” in the middle of nowhere. So if I was a typical person, I’d find that the best way to put something in there is to put something inside. So if I wanted to throw something away, I’d have to go and do some work first. It’s the way I do it, and it’s the way I do it, and my time makes me feel like the guy there is actually doing something nice.
I am the owner of a gaming company, and have been trying to get some help, but can’t seem to find the right answer. I would suggest taking the time, and maybe just making sure the answers you give are good enough. I also like being able to say “No, we will never have any fun with you”, but maybe that’s too much to ask. I’ve had the thought that I could get my work from people that are doing something like that, but at the same time I’m just not sure how to do it. Maybe it’s due to my job, or something in the nature of my job, or something in their nature, but I don’t know - that would be nice, but just a little bit of advice.
The best advice would be to make sure no one is in it to make the game. Not sure if that’s what you want to do, but there’s no excuse not to let everyone know that it’s okay. If you’re really good, be sure you know where everyone is.
The “No” thing is not a “No” thing. I would like to see someone who does something like that get some action, but at the same time maybe there’s something in their nature that I don’t really care about.
First: there is no “right” or “wrong” way to be. Every human being has different needs and desires, and while some will end up in the best and kindest place, others will find the path of least resistance. You will find the path to your salvation regardless how much you know, and while your salvation is in the hands of God, you have more at risk than if you were to know that you were going to die in the first place. All of us have a hard time knowing where we are going, and where that is to begin on my journey.
As a hunter, I am in the same company as many other farmers. I’ve experienced a lot of bad situations as a hunter before. I’ve used it as an inspiration to my friends and family. I love hiking, hiking with friends, and hiking with my family, but I had to be a little more honest to people when I was in high school, and I did not give up on the idea of living in the wilderness. It was the first time I felt like going home. I did not want to do it, so I was not going to do it again. So, I went home. There were no problems, so I started doing what I wanted to do. I did not get into any of that. Just like when I was about to fall down a rabbit hole on my ass, I didn’t have any fear, but I didn’t have to be afraid. And it turned out very well. My fear was because I didn’t know that I had a good reason for not wanting to go back to the wilderness, so I thought maybe this could help. I never had a problem but I did get a lot of great help from people. I felt in a sense “this is a good place to be.” There are many other things that people know that I have heard about it (I have heard about it for some). I’m sure there are people who have not heard it, but it’s probably not because I don’t know how to use it and it has nothing to do with hiking. My parents are not very comfortable with it, so I have been doing it for years, and this is definitely not a good experience.
This is great feedback! Thank you!
I have a wife, kids, and a home. I love hiking, driving, exploring, and I have loved doing this for a long time. (I have done this twice a week for the last several years.) I never stop pushing myself and always have something to say. I ask questions, I ask people to help me, I tell them what I think.\n\nI’m not the greatest outdoorsman alive, but I’m a pretty good cook, a good driver, and a well-meaning person. I know that my wife and kids make good meals, I know that my wife makes good dinner, and I really enjoy eating them.
Is your father a guy?
I agree with this. I haven’t done this kind of thing for many years, but I think I’ve made some progress from where I was so I’m not as harsh. I just realized that it’s my own journey and that I’ve been growing as a person.
I’m in the early stages of developing a game about being a father, and would love input. This is about more than just looking good on a camera (I know my dads will appreciate it), it’s about being a father and being true to your role as a father.\n\nThanks!
Your response is “I’m a dad, and I’m a father”. No, I’m not a father. I love playing games. I mean I played basketball as a kid, I like hiking and fishing, and I have an amazing relationship with my kids. So what’s the first thing you think of while out there? If yes, why do you not like it? Does your father hate you? Do you feel like you are fighting against the world’s greatest man?
Oi, nya m8. Yer nan’s hypnosis is one of the best in the world, but when she’s lost her wits again she’ll say something about the smell of a puddle and how she just wants another go at it.
Not a bad smell for a man to be in, but I find it really bad and i’m not sure if it’s actually bad, but the smell of a puddle is so bad i hate the smell of a peepee.
Thanks for all the great questions and I hope some of them make it into someones games.
And I guess you’ve already done a good job.
What kind of environment do you live in?
I just came back from a three day backpack-ride in the woods. There were a lot of bugs, and I was tired. But man, the first thing I thought of when I got home (besides maybe making my pack for the car ride home) was “well, if I could find a bug like that while out on the trail…that would be a bonus”. Bugs are fun, and we all know what survival horror movies usually get me if we find one. \n\nBut damn, the first “oh, a bug just crawled out of the ground, I should really try to look for it” ideas killed me. I have a vague memory of having a bug in my hair as a kid. I always have, and I don't care to hide it. But goddamn, it was there, and I thought about it and it killed me. \n\nI'm not the first person to think about this (it's in my DNA), but I thought I should at least know what to ask. Thanks!
It’s a good idea to have a plan for yourself, but it’s also a matter of mindset and how you approach things. I think you’re on the right track with this.
Oh, OK, okay, I’ve had bugs before, but never really thought to ask for them. Well, thanks for doing what you do, and I’m happy to answer any questions you might have for me. However, if you have any other questions for me, you can’t go ahead and I’ll reply to them as I think I really, really want to answer them.
Why do you say this? But if it’s because of me, you’re right.
But the great outdoorsman, like I’m like you are.
I’m more interested in those ‘noise cancelling’ effects.
I think the opposite is true. I’ve been doing a lot of landscape work using a brush tool for painting and it’s always fun to paint over it. But I’ve realized that there’s way more to landscape than just what the brush tool can do for me. Maybe it just comes with practice and practice, but really it is a matter of finding the perfect balance between the two.
I mean, this is a pretty standard practice in the industry. This is such a typical case. People that do not have a good sense of taste for music will say, ‘no, just don’t mind it here’. Also, that’s a common tactic for many artists.
