the weirdest thing about Big Walk is the random boat fenders everywhere that.... light up???

A boat sits alongside a wooden dock, with eight or nine bulbous red fenders hung over the side between the hull and the edge of the dock.

glad to see you have definitively answered this important question from the steam forums:

tag your favourite bird toe arrangement

Anisodactyl: three forward toes and one backward. Zygodactyl and Heterodactyle: two forward toes and two backward (different ordering). Syndactyl: two very close forward toes and a third farther apart, and one backward toe. Pamprodactyl: four forward toes (the outer two can turn backwards as needed)

was this the part where you turned back? (photo from wikipedia) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ca...

a person walks carefully along a rusty steel beam, leaning on the rock face as they go. the concrete walkway is crumbling away in this area. there is like a 50 metre drop below.

but at least this exists:

a person in an inflatable t-rex costume, riding a horse that is kicking around a giant yellow and black inflatable soccer ball.

Tau Ceti (1986, screenshots from the Amstrad CPC port)

A first-person view of a planet's surface, with strange tower structures scattered across a plain. Command panels, status monitors, and a radar occupy the rest of the screen.

A top-down map of the area is shown, replacing the first person view in the previous screenshot. "Auriga", "Entrola", "Rubixa", "Reema", "Centralis" and more settlement names appear on the map.

The first-person view shows the interior of a building.

The cooling rod manipulator is shown, with three half-rods with projections and indentations along one side.

inspired by seeing this rpg "family tree" diagram from a 1986 (i think) japanese rpg magazine (from youtu.be/9KpC-VJBS3A?... )

A diagram of the lineage of early Japanese RPGs. at the far left are Ultima (1981) and Wizardy (1981), hoary ancestors of the genre.

Calvin's dad: "Playing a CRPG? I'll show you something interesting. The two types of CRPG are Wizardry or Ultima. All CRPGs fall into these two categories. Baldur's Gate? Ultima. Skyrim? Wizardry."

Calvin: "Yeah..."

Dad: "Fallout? Ultima. Gothic? Wizardry. Despite having 'Ultima'
in the name, Ultima Underworld is a Wizardry."

(Calvin lies wide awake at night, tormented to sleeplessness by the thought)

wut (not objecting, just that... that repo is called 'crap' for a reason, its very hacky and unfinished)

It is expected that you use vfig's "thiefblendercrap" importer script to get the resulting mission files into Blender, where they can then be prepared for use in Daggerfall Unity. That can be found here.

indiana jones great circle tackles this trope: long-sealed ancient tunnels have lit torches on the walls—but they are oil-burning, all connected to these pipes that still feed oil to them from the city above. then you find lit candelabras: and your npc companion says "candles! someone's been here!"

LII. There are fine things which are more brilliant when unfinished than when finished too much.

64. Truth does not do as much good in the world, as its counterfeits do evil.

135. We sometimes differ more widely from ourselves than we do from others.

that one book that *everyone* in the Town-on-Gorkhon has read:

A bookshelf, with a thought floating over it: "A volume of La Rochefoucauld!"

vfig@vfig· Mar 20

its kinda ridiculous to set up. step 1: define the earth's radius… but with careful colour choices and good cloud/distant art textures, it can produce some really nice results—second picture is a wip mission of mine without distant art yet.

im not fully on board yet with a lot of things Pathologic 3 is doing, but i absolutely love that they went full Synecdoche, New York with this bit:

A house and a lamppost and a few trees — all somehow contained within an enormous theatre.

i did the same thing though. (and then quit while i was ahead)

vfig@vfig· Mar 15

here are the colour labels in action. with Stair Skip turned on, you cant walk onto the spiral staircase, but your cursor changes to an arrow and you click to use it; then the screen fades to black, you hear a few footsteps, and it fades back in with you standing at the other end of the staircase.

Books in the Secret Passage, labelled with the colors "Orange", "Green", "Violet", "Red", and "Gold".

At the bottom of the Library's spiral staircase, the cursor is now an arrow pointing up the stairs.

vfig@vfig· Mar 15

for motion sickness, there are new options for field of view, options to customise the cursor and the center of the screen, and skipping some stairways entirely:

"For [field of view], we recommend you experiment to find the right FOV settings for you. For many people suffering from motion discomfort, increasing the field of view has helped. But for a smaller minority, relief was found at lower levels."

Settings for the "inactive cursor" (on screen all the time) and the "Active cursor" (for interacting with objects). There is a slider for cursor scale, and options to change the design of the cursor so it is more or less visible.

vfig@vfig· Mar 15

keys and controller inputs can be remapped, and you have an option to move at the faster "stroll" speed or the default, slower "walk speed"
