This is great and thanks for taking the time to enlighten us 😄

Putting or die “blah blah” after every line in your script seems much less elegant than op’s solution

Pleasantly surprised nexus mods weren’t being goons in this scenario

Words are hard. This is what I mean

You 1000% will not get lost in the noise if you put out a helldivers like quality game. There’s nerds everyday combing through steam store looking for the next great games. Helldivers with zero marketing would have made significantly less but still been a resounding commercial success

There’s no hidden gems in steam. Games sell as well as they should for their quality. There’s margin of error of course like a low quality game sells on the higher end due to good marketing or a high quality game sells low end due to poor marketing.

Most games are just not great

I’m convinced it’s unnecessary if your game is good. Word of mouth is so strong with gamers

What would a better option look like? Steam user experience is great. Games are cheap entertainment. What more could you ask for?

Bros just flexin his game library at this point

I wish talking to people wasn’t all the same canned question/responses. Trying to find witnesses is basically impossible. And security systems turning themself back on after set amount of time. Only two big issues I have with the game

Such as…?

I would 1000% become dumb as a rock with someone watching me not to mention in a high risk setting such as an interview

Valheim’s early access

For cross-platform support, direct level editing and changes to core game elements (like story, cinematics, dialogues, quests, and local gameplay adjustments) can’t be facilitated due to technical constraints and platform-specific guidelines.

Damn that doesn’t sound promising but they don’t specify if adding new areas will be supported.

Make mods sandboxed and add ability to create meta mods for tooling. Idk if that could be done securely but would extend the life of bg3 to forever basically

Ideally the solo dev and visionary would cease development and move into a product owner role. Bringing other devs up to speed on the code base while also maintaining quality, vision, and cultivating a team is no trivial task. Not to mention this particular dev may not want or be able to such things.

Paprika 3 is great! Highly recommend

Tl;dw?

Need to throw a rand() in there to make it less easy to unfuck
