“That depends on your definitions, some may call philosophy a science, others may not, what do you think? Can you lick the philosophy?”

have made a few really really good programming / puzzle games.
made crypt of the necrodancer and phantom brigade , both of which are really good ideas and if you haven’t checked them out, you should.
- Comment on What games do you recommend to play with a girlfriend 8 months ago:
Factorio works, but it would probably help to give a guided to tour the store and genres, to figure out what she would like.
If she has really no exposure at all, playing just factorio is limiting yourself to eating one flavor of ice cream.

Yes, but you have to remember that the developer community is absolutely tiny compared to the number of gamers.
It’s a neat gimmick, but 98% of the people who could be your audience will get nothing out of the game being open source.
I would really like it if certain specific games were more open source and more moddable, for example stellaris has an annoying formula hard coded that makes combat balancing and weapon modding very difficult. On the other hand, games like openRA exist and I’m not playing that and I’m not doing anything with the source either. That one even has fully functioning multiplayer, but it’s so built in that it’s hard to reuse for anything else. So you might end up being torn between making the game really good and making the tools and code really good.
I think the biggest appeal of open source games is as a learning resource. Maybe. idk.
Also, may I suggest panda3d, which I’m shilling for at every opportunity that I get, because it’s neat, 3d, open source and runs with C or python?

So, this is kind of funny, because when you think “cyberpunk” “high tech, low life”, there always was/is the question of how this tech abundance but also poverty can coexist. Surely it takes a lot of money to build all this?
It’s waste. That’s the answer. It’s the repurposed, discarded corporate trash that didn’t meet the quarterly goal. It’s all starting to make sense you guys!! In new and terrifying ways!
