Imagine a Disco Elysium-style pony game. The second Lunar rebellion failed, and 50 years later ponies in Baltimare, the former hotbed of Lunarist forces are still picking up the pieces of their broken nation. And in the heart of this angry, desperate, melancholic city - you. A man can dream.

It's amazing what one can do with a game with next to no physical conflict (with exception for less than half a dozen punches and kicks) with some virtual novel tier gameplay can do when you push for quality overload on art style and story.It gives me a hope that a kino pony game can be made and be playable, just around the corner.

>>41244245Of course Kim understands. He hopes Harry won't turn MLP into his entire personality, at least not until the case over, but he understands his needs for mares.
>>41244727Kim can tolerate a lot of antics as long as they aren't going into harmful territory (both to others and self), at the very least Kim would probably appreciate it on the level of keeping Harry distracted from narcotics.

Everything I see about Disco Elysium intrigues and confuses me in equal measure. Will I enjoy it if I hate politics? The affinity some internet communists seem to have with it makes me wary.
>>41251508YesYou can literally treat all the politics as a joke in the game if you don't care about it
>>41251508legitimately, play the game with no care for politics its possiblethe game itself isnt to everyone's taste though
>>41251508>I hate politicsthat's ok anon you can just play as a moralist and you should feel right at home

>>41251508I think it's an extremely well-written story (presented in the format of a game) and I'm not at all interested in the politics or history or amything like that. It's one of those works of art that change the way you think for a while after you experience it, I really love it.
>>41251508I think it's fun and I don't give a shit about politics.
>>41251508>Will I enjoy it if I hate politics?You will enjoy it much more if you love shitposting about politics. The main character is the ultimate shitposter who says "fuck women and foreigners" to one person, then turns to another and says "we must hang all capitalists".

Alright, you fuckers. I'm finished torrenting the game off fitgirl. You won. What should I specialize in if I'm obsessed with fucking over communists while still adhering to chaotic-good-ish ideals? I'm going into this almost 100% blind.
>>41255758Don’t worry about it now, just play the way you want to.
>>41255766Mm, fair enough. I'm just so totally lost on what the game's fully about and how character traits are determined, kek. Lots of weird ass stats and voices to choose from and I'm not even close to understanding it.Guess my first playthrough will go slightly less badly than the tie-grabbing anon's~ But the unpacking is taking a little bit...I can't believe that I'm playing this game on two hours of sleep, twelve hours before dental surgery with work afterward. I wonder if it's actually possible to be as much of a fuckup as the MC.
>>41255758>>41255788So far I'm going whole hog on INT (6, with 2 in the other stats) with a focus on Visual Calculus. Deduced where my other shoe went, spoke to the lady-of-the-night upstairs, got shat on by the manager of the diner, and got some of the rundown from Kitsuragi. Huh, this is coming together nicely.
>>41254410>>41254834Update on third playthrough: I am the sorry cop. I do not know what my face looks like, and I cherish and protect this innocence.

>>41228762I remember seeing some dude do a playtrough of Disco Elysium a while ago, sounds fun, wish there was a pony mod for it
>>41262794It would be incredibly Disco Elysium of you, and also easier to, just give yourself schizophrenia and imagine the horses in the game, very in-character for MEHSTER DU BOISand since Disco Elysium went out in the most Disco Elysium way possible, don't *buy* the game, the creators of the game no longer get money from it
>>41262794>>41262805It only took 138 posts for someone to tell me what the fuck this thread was about.What the fuck is fagisco gayslum?
I keep thinking on how could one make a "port" of the skills system to a Equestria like game, 24 seems like a little bit ambitious number (specially even in the game not all of them get the same degree of usage until the mid/end game) but what if they were limited to just pony related stuff, like 6 for canon harmony (Magic, laughter, generosity etc) than filler out the rest of personality stuff (being awesome, bookworm, shy etc) in the thought cabinet?
>>41263185Schizophrenic cop loses his memory and now has to solve a case. Political hijinks ensues
>>41263185Well, since you called it gay I'm not telling you, you meanie
>>41263193Love this idea, so I took a crack at it for fun. Folded phsyique/motorics into Body, mixed some intellect/psyche together into Mind, and then added a Harmony Category. 18 total skills, 6 per stat.>Mind: Reason, Study, Awesomeness, Socializing, Creativity, Regality>Harmony: Laughter, Generosity, Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness, Magic>Body: Fastness, Strength, Stamina, Awareness, Hoof Dexterity, Earth Connection
>>41263916These are great, I can already imagine stuff with these. I was gonna say the harmony traits seem a bit difficult to play against the character (as any stat can do in DE), but I realized the show is full of examples of how they might be made to be contextually negative.
>>41263916Yeah, I'm liking this idea! It's not quite the level of esotericism of DE's thought cabinet stats, but a good chunk of it follows from the Elements of Harmony well.
>>41264612>>41264627Honestly seems like it'd be perfect for a cyoa as well. Kinda tempts me a bit.Added some brief descriptions styled after the game ones.>Reason: Logic out your problems. Understand the complexities of reality. Turn chaos into order within your mindscape.>Study: Contain an encyclopedia of knowledge within yourself. Call upon facts at will. Harness the power of research.>Awesomeness: Impress and dazzle. Defy limitations. Be cool.>Socializing: Meet new ponies, and make them your friends. Deftly navigate conversation. Keep spaghetti within its appropriate receptacles.>Creativity: Use the power of imagination. Get in touch with your artistic side. See the writing behind the walls of reality, and know you are the author.>Regality: Inspire awe with grace and presence. Maintain composure through force of will. Breathe into the paper bag.>Laughter: Entertain with theatrics and humor. Use spontaneity and satire as your sword and shield. Keep hope alive in the darkest times.>Generosity: Bequeath what you have unto others. Be selfless. Let the magic of sharing fuel mutual gain.>Honesty: let your genuine self show, and be true to it. See the truth (or lack thereof) in other's words. Be a rock of principle.>Loyalty: Cherish and aid your friends. Be dedicated to your choices, and inspire dedication in return. Stand up for what you believe in.>Kindness: Empathize with others, and step into their hoofprints. Do the right thing, even when it's hard. Vanquish all evil with the power of forgiveness.>Magic: Tap into the wellspring that is yourself. Feel the energy of concepts. Manifest the metaphysical as physical.>Fastness: Be quick of hoof or wing. React with speed and instinct. Understand "fast" as a way of life.>Strength: Become an unstoppable force. Perform herculean feats as a pinnacle of physicality. Buck life in the flank.>Stamina: Become an immovable object. Endure hardship and adversity. Push through and get things done.>Awareness: Notice all of the things. Have the eyes of a hawk and the focus of a second hawk. Read the room.>Hoof Dexterity: Defy reality by manipulating objects with your hoofsies. Step carefully and deftly. Turn your limbs into instruments.>Earth Connection: Feel the world beneath your hooves, and hear its whispers. Taste the dirt, and nurture nature's bounties. Tap into the animal-geist.
