time to consult the graph

lobotomy corporation does not unload a single asset as far as i am aware

honestly like
given how much work clearly went into the game, Iā€™m not surprised at how fucked it is on the backend

this was the game that basically kickstarted project moon and they were so terrified of the horrors they created within the code that all they did when they returned to it was fix the english translation

anyway if i ever make a video game itā€™d probably be like. a more sand-boxy version of lobotomy corporation, with more emphasis on building contraptions to trap the monsters in the first place. however i would only be satisfied by Dwarf Fortress levels of complexity and like

No, Iā€™m not doing that, I donā€™t have time

lol

monsters?

dwarf fortress is so fucking funny. what if you just went ā€œokay im going to dedicate my entire life to building this singular video gameā€ and then actually did it

there is also a mod that fixed chesedā€™s bullet refinement research if you ever feel like you deserve that

another thing i like about dwarf fortress is that whenever a feature is still only half-implemented itā€™s still, like, part of the world and works and so as a consequence you get things like barrels full of Bumblebee Venom

because thereā€™s a system for syndromes being borne through poisons and extracts but not actually a system to get those extracts from most animals or to put them on your weapons, and yet they can procedurally be sold anyway, and you can get them on your weapons but only through construction of comically large nonsensical machines

i think bugs creating barrels of bumblebee venom are funny enough to write off as a feature

dwarf fortress has a complicated and well-developed research system that does almost nothing right now

hilariously, the only field of study that actually does anything in DF right now is history, because once your dwarves develop certain historiographical traditions and writing forms, like biographies, they will start writing in them

dwarf fortress is awesome i love it when the game is badly designed (slash positive)

like by conventional game design thereā€™s no reason to make e.g. mead because itā€™s much more complicated than other alchohol and worth about the same but dwarf fortress players make mead anyway because god damn it dwarves deserve it
