    If you revisit the clinic frequently, Iosevka has a noticeable personality shift at one point. She gets replaced by a Choir member impersonating her, who is running bizarre experiments. When you get into the back of the clinic, that’s what you find.

    Tap for spoiler

    In addition to the real Iosevka being turned into a kindred, the imposter will also transform any civilians you direct to her. This can be useful with the guy in the woods who is actually a beast in disguise and will kill everyone in the church if you send him there. Sending him to the clinic is easier than fighting him too.




  • Someone shared this on Mastodon so I’ll just repost my thoughts from there. (Bonus for Lemmy, I was forced to squeeze all my thoughts into 500 characters, so this is the most succinct I’ve been on this site!)


    Pretty incredible how little people seem to understand these. For one thing, every method other than waterfall is a subtype of agile methodology. The major distinction is that waterfall has a series of phases from design through building, testing, and delivery that attempts to plan the whole project up front. Agile methods focus on smaller iteration cycles with frequent, partial deliverables.

    Something like kanban is designed for continuous delivery: we want to go to mars weekly.

    LEAN development is a scam though, that one is accurate.



  • I dunno, maybe trying to revive your multi-player shooter franchise into one of the most monopolized, overexposed genres in gaming history is kind of a high-risk move with little potential for returns. Kind of like trying to make a WoW clone while WoW was at its peak, which dozens of companies did and then all went out of business.

    Damn, it’s almost like making a game that requires a million active players at all times, when you have no name presence or existing player base to draw upon, is kind of a stupid terrible business decision.

    I’m no business or gaming genius, but I feel like I would have done something a little safer and more sustainable. Maybe use your Starseige IP to make a single-player focused mecha game? Haven’t had one of those in a while. The last one was… Armored Core 6? One of the best selling and most critically well received games of last year. Yeah, who’d want to tap into that market with a brand new mecha game to ride on the still hungering appetites of AC6 players?

    No no, Better stick to making another fortnight clone, that certainly hasn’t burned anyone (including themselves!!!) before.
