#then try Pathologic 2 and Disco Elysium today

[kedamono-dreams]

ideas for video games i've had in the past:

- "booumer shooter" where you play as the pawn of a newly reawakened blood god trying to seek revenge on his brothers and sisters for sealing him away all those eons ago

- "immersive simmersive" set on a research station in space/underwater (depends on how i wanna spin it) where you play as either: 1) a security officer, 2) a psyonics researcher, or 3) a janitor. what i wanted to do with this game is have a really super complicated story where there's like 5 different factions vying over control of the station and even more people just trying to leave it. the technical stuff i wanted to do would have also been pretty insane where the environments would be constructed out of voxels and be deformable/destructible, and the janitor's main method of attack/defense would be through chemistry and basically gooping on people with a super advanced FLUDD (with fluids operating on the same "voxel" principle)

- "Are Pee Ghee" where you play as a girl trying to unwind this massive web of occultism and danger in an agricultural village on the outskirts of the american rust belt. think kafkaesque, lynchian, whatever other "weird type of guy" adjective you can think of. this one is a bit more nebulous but i wanted the art design to kind of be like a sendup of the 4th gen pokemon games (2d sprites in a tilemapped world with 3d buildings and structures,) pathologic's stifling "small village bordering on urban" style, and some mechanical aspects of disco elysium. another thing i wanted to do was to have it where you could move a reticle around the screen and look/interact with things you aren't immediately facing/next to, much like an adventure game.

- another "Our P Ge" based on the same sort of base of the ag. rustbelt game, except set in the polar north in a small alaskan town where people and vampires generally live well together, but you play as the sheriff and keep peace when someone decides they want to drink a guy's blood or hang garlic in public spaces. this was just inspired today when i started watching 30 Days Of Night and thought "what if this were good/more interesting of an idea"

i do want to make these someday, but as of right now i lack the proper skill.

Is the pathologic to disco elysium pipeline real

If it’s not it absolutely should be. Basically if you like one game, especially for the writing, there’s a 90% chance you’ll like the other

The way I see it is less of a, “One leads to another,” and more of a, “They’re two rooms in the same house, and they’re next to each other, and once you open one of the doors, you’re more likely to open the other.
