During the worst of the COVID stuff, everything was canceled entirely. But, now it’s gotten better and our county is basically just frozen and doesn’t increase anymore.
I know, it’s getting worse. But for some reason our county doesn’t go up much at all. I have no idea why. Maybe everyone got it already? There was a gigantic jump around June.
And that jump just kept going until it just slowed down almost to nothing.
@brug Let’s just hope things get better in the US.
Is it for comedy? Or to lampshade a gap in the fiction? Or to create a sense of discomfort at the expected fictional rules/magic circle being violated? Or to make the player think about real-world implications of the game? Or to make a point? Or...?
So, kind of like Undertale - taking away the player's safe anonymity behind their avatar, calling them out for the choices they are making as a person, refusing to let them just reset the game to try for a different outcome?
Now you have a concrete goal. Try reflecting on things that have made you feel guilty. What makes you feel pangs of guilt or regret? Can you incorporate some of those elements into your game design?
