It's spectacular. What you've described in terms of people with positions you can assassinate or control sounds exactly like shadow of mordor's nemesis system from 2014. I'm surprised no one else mentioned it. It meets your criteria, so I'll be interested too see what you think when I catch up on the blog. That will be when you have to emulate windows on your neural interface.Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060578240910339156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-54280695927304808822020-11-02T15:54:13.302-05:002020-11-02T15:54:13.302-05:00Sorry about that.

The enemy alien AI will continually develop and adapt to the players tactics to create more units to counter what the players are doing on the battlefield. Also, AI will control the other human factions who have competing goals about what should be accomplished in the word which will affect how you interact with them (affect ability to recruit for soldiers and trade for supplies).BoardGameNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573162816708652568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-59401443470609757552019-09-10T10:48:49.424-04:002019-09-10T10:48:49.424-04:00That would be an amazing game, but one I wouldn...That would be an amazing game, but one I wouldn't play. I'm not one for playing assassins even if the empire is evil. I can't roleplay the "ends justify the means" angle very well. However, having lasting and real effects on the game world in the way that you describe and have the world respond to your actions would be epic. <br /><br />This reminds me of efforts that have been done to add this kind of interaction to board games with the "Legacy" style of games. So far, the best has been Pandemic: Legacy season 1 and season 2. They're not RPG's, but they have been heavily influenced in each iteration. What sets them apart and what adds such delicious tension is that each game session can permanently affect the next game session based on the choices you make during that game. Sometimes you may have to kill off a character permanently by ripping up their card or destroy a powerful card because of a ramification of on your actions. Your decisions have actual meaning on the gameplay that other boardgames don't quite capture the full effect.BoardGameNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573162816708652568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-30768578254187978552016-12-01T11:29:54.747-05:002016-12-01T11:29:54.747-05:00To be honest, this fictitious game of yours sounds...To be honest, this fictitious game of yours sounds a bit like Assassin's Creed: The RPG.Libluinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524606710871977666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-11610881749546962612016-09-13T11:55:43.798-04:002016-09-13T11:55:43.798-04:00I was suspicious due to the title- no way would so...I was suspicious due to the title- no way would someone as careful as Chet make that call before 2017 even starts.<br /><br />As to why this would be super hard: either you need a lot of work on AI and formulas (hard, expensive) or you need a huge decision tree with thousands of entries. Plus testing is a nightmare- you need to test every entry to make sure it works. What if one is miscoded in a way that isn't apparent unless you hit these three other options, 20 more hours in?<br /><br />That said, I love the design. It sounds a lot like your love of V, and nicely removes the problem with'do this note before the empire takes over!" Not the game is have designed, but I'd probably play it. Until the stealth mechanics made me hunt you down and pants you. (I'm pretty sure at this point you are Bill Clinton, so getting past the secret serviceb might be tricky...)Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-49816889025183821902016-09-08T12:39:02.153-04:002016-09-08T12:39:02.153-04:00My thoughts went something like this:
Henry Lanca...My thoughts went something like this:<br /><br />Henry Lancaster? Is this an RPG developer with a pen name?<br /><br />Blah blah man I hate fantasy nouns.<br /><br />How in the goddamn have they managed to combine versatile stealth gameplay (with a bevy of scripted responses) + open world gameplay. There's a reason stealth games are so linear - is the game tracking a whole city full of AIs engaging in some sort of rudimentary relationships with one another?<br /><br />Released next year? They've obviously spent tens of millions already if the current build has so much content, yet I haven't heard anything about this come out from any of the big cons, and they'd surely have been engaging the hype train by now. What the hell's going on?<br /><br />Man, I thought Underworld Ascendant was reaching for for stars but according to Chet these guys have already nailed something way, way harder. Technology huh?<br /><br />Oh. Ok. It's not real. I should have gathered that. That was a weird thing to do. Oh well.<br /><br />Right now a game fulfilling this description sounds like pure fantasy - but then we have things now that would have sounded fantastical a decade ago. So maybe we can call Downfall the best RPG of 2027 ;)<br /><br />Tristan Gallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769219573533545742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-21963243150492792552016-08-02T14:09:17.398-04:002016-08-02T14:09:17.398-04:00I truly doubt it's over haha.

I'm a bit bummed that it was Magic Candle 2 that killed it since I'd been looking forward to you covering that game for quite some time (I never finished it as a kid but always wanted to know what happened), but I know how unbelievably exhausting it can be dealing with commenters and endless expectations. If you don't want that in your life anymore then that's totally understandable.
