I thought it was, "Let them eat peanut butter".

Fuck'em and feed them fish heads...

I just assuming that now Ryker must go to a music festival or this could be considered of....
Would have nothing against it, bring Ryker and (part of) his female cohort to a festival and let the party begin. Just unsure where the should camp, even a 6+ tent may be to small and I doubt a camper would either be his style nor Dima's...

As as I like that Idea I hope you mean it for Volume 2 otherwise keep your idea's to yourself or we will never get the end of Volume 1

I can see it now - Ryker goes to the Superdeath show, and rocks out with David Mustang.

As I've written multiple times already, I don't really care if we reach the end of volume 1, as long as Dima keeps the quality on the same levels as he has done until now.
But, as always, it is up to the Dima (or another dev) if he use (some of) my ideas or not.

I've been to several smaller festivals which were using local MCs as security... there are also MCs hosting own concerts, however it's maybe invite only or you should at least be somewhat known...

you wish.

I think they're bouncing around the idea of a party planning minigame. Maybe even a minigame to improve the titty bar. So many minigames.

I'm all for spitballing ideas. , minigames, meh...

 

[Jack Nippleson]

The only mini-games needed are the ones between the sheets and everywhere else in between with Nikki and Jesse.

In fucking hell no.
If you want them play another game. Minigames shall add substantial something to the game and not artificial.

So, that said and no only for the "discussion'" sake, I only see "one" place where a minigame could be used: Ryker's escape run to city.
But, the premise I have for this is that it would have some impact on the game other than continuous and game over. So, the things that are set in stone on this part:

• Meeting Tori
• Meeting Kira
• Johnny death or "out of the game"
• Ryker alive and can recover quick enough

Which means the following could depend on the outcome of the minigame:

• Ryker wounded or not and it's seriousness with limits
• Meeting doc, nurse, lawyer and reporter

Yet, their is what would make no sense at all. If you would lose this minigame most realistic outcome would be death - bad gameplay idea. If you win perfectly, then either he escape Johnny and thus neither would be Johnny death nor would Ryker meet Tory, Kira and the other ones or you get the outcome you already have.

So, the whole thing would only define if Ryker is in the hospital for one day or three.

And therefore my end verdict is: No fucking way!

TL;DR: It was meant as a joke, I thought the sarcasm was obvious, minigames can suck a butt. Respectfully, with respect.

I was just goofing around, hinting at a much bemoaned feature of another popular game. It seems to have not been entirely recognized for the obvious sarcasm I thought it was, but, I'm not entirely opposed to choices having minor changes in outcomes. Obviously you're doing that in a large way, where a choice may have a dramatic effect on outcomes, but I do think some aspects of "party planning" or whatever the case may be can be interesting; in that it adds to the level of investment. Of course the issue then arises with increasing a developer's workload, which I think most people can agree is all around a loss, since it slows progression.

Minor things like drink choices or something (purely an example) might change a line or two of dialogue and a handful of renders. Something like, say, outfits, is way more time investment for developing. Going further, scenes being locked away behind choice is even more extreme, potentially adds to replayability but decreases linear content. Like a choose your own adventure book, but the timesink grows exponentially from a development standpoint.

No, it was not obvious. The game you mean, I think I know it...
Next time a smiley would help.

No worries m8. I didn't take you to be serious about mini games.

I tolerate them in games that have them. I just see them as filler or a shiny object to divert your attention in lieu of actual content.
