My favorite example of a well designed skinnerbox is the Hollow Knight tutorial. If you played the game, you probably don't even remember this, but towards the beginning of the game, the game designers place one of those little money rocks right in front of the very first false wall. When the player runs up the smack the rock like they've already been conditioned to do, they'll automatically be tricked into smacking the false wall and be rewarded with the goodies behind it. Congratulations, you've just been conditioned to spend the rest of the game swinging your sword (nail?) at every wall in the game.

Seriously Timmy? This is your idea of a free game? What kinda choices did you make this year? Why not Legends of Dragaea, Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum, Tower of Kalemonvo, Peripeteia, FlyKnight, or Into the Necrovale? I know I beg you for a $500k 1 year exclusivity contract, but what are these choices, pick one of these games instead, I'd actually play them instead of just claiming them. I'd have included Tricky Madness but it seems a little too early access to be considered acceptable.

The goal is to choose a team of waifus and then seem them behave on their own like watching an ant hill, but they're anime girls standed in an island with the sempai.

My first goal is to have something more complex than a procedural VN.

There's more than 400 million possible team combinations, I don't think I need to worry about making it more complex.

if their relations can't change then it makes no sense to play it, it's a problem that is already solved. Now if you can introduce random events that will change their attitudes ever so slightly you'll have a great harem simulator.

Going all in on a hobby in 2026. Should I write fiction or go game dev? I enjoy writing more, but it seems infinitely harder to make money that way.

Hack writer using games as an excuse to push my fiction is the route I'm taking. It means learning more stuff or getting a team, but it also means your vision is more likely to get in front of people which I think makes the juice worth the squeeze tbdesu. Also by virtue of you being here, I assume you play a lot of games and thus have some opinions about what makes a good one and design decision, which helps you just bake the narrative in.

Well, yeah, that's kinda the goal.
To have emergent storytelling.

Like my goal is to take ideas from SIMS and Dwarf fortress and Animal crossing, and have the interactions between the characters like VN dialogs.

I also want to sort of like have a master storyteller that generate the canon events that forces the story to more or less follow the major story events that affect all the 256 characters.

>>551033456
not sure you have a grasp on your intended version of it if you're worried about an immediate threat.
The point of the concept is instilling existential dread and hopelessness in humans, not necessarily just scaring them.
Being able to have players possibly be oblivious to the dynamic kinda misses the point, unless you're really sure of your subtlety.
So really you should think of what kind of establishing moment you'd want, that would set the dynamic and tone for the whole game that would also inform the gameplay.
Which could be thinking about what kind of morality the entity has, which dictates if it's more trickster, malevolent, or seemingly evil indifference that wants to astrally farm suffering.

I'm just considering this from a gameplay perspective and if it's going to make the game feel empty or leave you with a feeling of "literally nothing happened". Not having an immediate threat is probably the way to go.

It doesn't look like it did too poorly for what it is. It's probably just overpriced. They'll continue to sell more copies of it for years to come, especially when it goes on sale for less than $5, because that's really what it should be priced at. Also, a publisher with no translations? What the fuck are they even doing?

>>551041505
It doesn't matter if you know how to code or not. "Code" itself is less than half of what is necessary for a full video game, and I'm saying this to you as a senior software engineer with a decade of professional experience. There is a tremendous amount of domain knowledge that you're not yet even aware is going to be necessary. The best thing you can do is to try to make some small games from end-to-end. That includes some central gameplay activity, but also visual effects, sound effects, music, a title menu, a pause menu, settings, loading and saving, packing and exporting, creating and uploading to a store page, etc etc. That's not even including extended common features like multiplayer and i18n.

gonna finna boutta be real with you anon

It doesn't matter where you go, people are against AI. They see it as an extreme threat to their dream of earning money from their creative path. For the people that are already talented at their craft, AI is basically saying "look how many years you wasted for nothing. I can do what you do for free and 100000x faster". For the person that's just starting their journey, AI is saying "don't even bother. By the time you reach a semi decent skill level, I will be 100x better".

Ultimately it doesn't matter, because nobody can or will turn the clock back on this one. Crying will do absolutely nothing. AI is here to stay, and it will only get better. Adapt or get dabbed on. Refusing to use AI in the long haul is like choosing to continue using bows and arrows after the gun was invented.

None of the yesdevs who matter hate AI from a moral standpoint. They hate you because you're a low-IQ cultist, you don't make video games, and your life revolves around shitposting about the latest and greatest snake oil that you think will fix your life (it won't).

Religion is like a penis. It's okay to have one. It's even fine to be proud to have one. However, no one wants you to be bringing up your religion in every conversation, and definitely no one wants you to be shoving your religion down the children's throat.
