Yes, plenty others are charging for DLC's and upgrades (erjemHOI4jrem). Here it's not exactly the same but.. more or less (read down).

Still, something doesn't quite fit. Bear with me.

Back in 2013 they raised 200k$ on Kickstarter with something that worked already:
> The game already exists, and the testers are already having good experiences with it. We've got a small crew of testers on the Ludeon forums sharing their experiences with the game. Take it from them, not from me.

Indeed, the game was already looking solid.. Even if graphically speaking we're looking at a Prison Architect copy&paste, which I don't think anyone mind, not even the guys from Prison Architect which is pretty cool, but still worth mentioning that no much innovation went there. What I mean by that is that most of the hard work (genre, game mechanics, plot and so on) was long done.

So that cash, an already big and thriving community, a kickstarter success and Steam Greenlit... All of that before ending 2013. So in that situation you already know what you are facing, what you'll need to change and so on. And since then, it's been selling at 30$.

According to steamdb.info (I don't know the reliability but doesn't seem crazy numbers) they have sold about 700k copies.

They do have developed 3 DLC's. For 170$, 15$ and 370$ aprox. The most expensive one says:

> This DLC gives you the right to enter a name and character backstory into the game, with skills, appearance, and special work requirements. In addition, your character will appear as the leader of another faction!
>
> Write yourself as an interplanetary detective, an entrepreneur, an ex-artist, or anything else you can think of. Players will recruit, command, and fight you for all time!
>
> [...]

The actual game dev has been very scarce in these years, for everything that I mentioned this game has going for it.

Anyhow, I do like this game. I like it a lot. I'm making it clear because after giving facts some people may get the wrong idea. It's not about thrashing it, quite the contrary.

I think the guy nailed it in terms of the game itself (BTW he actually has a pretty good book on game design) but with all that money and all that time, maybe (and of course here I can only talk out of my ass because can't know) he hasn't managed the growth well and/or he hasn't allied with someone to do it.

So now, instead of medium to big upgrades every month or two (Prison Architect style, another game from kickstar success; or even Minecraft) we have medium to big upgrades twice a year.

I hope this can be seen as the constructive criticism from someone that wants this game to crush it big time. And sooner rather than later.

I started very young - like, 4 or 5 - mostly by tinkering with computers and by looking through instruction manuals. I didn't really understand what I was reading, but I kept reading it. This was back in the days of BASIC - we had this book and I remember spending hours typing in programs by hand, again, without any real understanding of what it meant.

From there it was mostly practice. I took a class or two, but frankly I was already past them. Once the Internet showed up I used it to help, and helped people on it (which is incredibly valuable), and I just kinda . . . kept going.

After you've done something for 30 years, you get pretty good at it.

If you want to learn how to code, good news; it's so much easier now than it was when I did it. Start at /r/learnprogramming, then never stop. It will be difficult and you will be confused at times, but keep plowing through it.

I picked up your book recently. I think this discussion just pushed it to the top of my reading list. More insight on how hidden mechanics lead to in game results vs. human perceptions/internal thought process will be good.

Keep on coding man, great game.

Tynan I am a huge fan of Rimworld as well as your book which everyone should check out

Designing Games: A Guide to Engineering Experiences https://www.amazon.com/dp/1449337937/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wh1XBbJFPD7ZB


If you don't mind, any hint on what is next for you? Any glimpse at what your next endeavor might be?

One GB of text takes 677.963 pages on average^1. This is probably a conservative estimate, given that RimWorld logs contain quite a lot of whitespace.

You'll need 73.897.967 sheets of paper, assuming double sided printing. That's 147.796 reams of paper, or 29.560 boxes of 5 reams. At $24,99 per box^2 (currently on discount!), you'll pay about $738.704 and 40 cents. The good news is that you'll have 4 reams of paper leftover, which should last you a good while if you stop printing output logs.

Each box weighs about 25,2 pounds^2 (or 11,43 kg in units that make sense). That comes down to 337,9 metric tonnes of paper, or 10 semi-trucks loaded to the US maximum weight limit^3. You'd have to contact Amazon to see whether this qualifies for free Prime delivery.

Sadly, I don't have the time to calculate what you'll spend on ink (or toner, and the replacement printers you'll need), but you can probably add another cool half a million.

You might be interested in Scott McCloud's 'Understanding Comics' (and later 'Reinventing Comics'). Possibly a little dated now, but there's a lot of useful information there.

Yeah. When they went... they went fast. I got started on naval stuff and kinda stayed there for a while when I was young.

Jutland was the last big naval shootout really. WWII had the Bismark chase and some skirmishes, but no real fleet to fleet (just planes to fleet).

https://www.amazon.com/Fleet-Encounters-Tsushima-Jutland-Philippine/dp/1854090127

That was the book :D

Few good WWII ones you may/may not have read all of are Pursuit & Menace you probably know from WWII about Bismark & Tirpitz by Ludovic Kennedy. And Baron Burkard von Mullenheim-Rechberg's Battleship Bismark which is a really interesting account from the highest ranked survivor.

Well, using the closest real-world equivalents I can find for today's dollars, a real leather jockstrap runs for $69.99 making 92 of them come out to be $6,439.08 which can get you a pretty solid gaming rig, an iPhone XR, and just about 10 grams of coke in the US.

So I think 92 leather jockstraps are pretty damn valuable.


Edits: Fixed formatting (I'm on mobile, sorry) and I had some bad math. Also specified to use the USA's coke prices for clarity.

Read your Patreon description, and it sounds like game design could be your thing. Be prepared to work hard though, as it's a very competitive field. A lot of art schools offer courses in game design.

If you want to get better at digital drawing, get a Wacom Bamboo, they're about 40 bucks so not that expensive and they're fine to start out with. And concerning the programs, there are... other ways to obtain software, if you catch my drift.

Last but not least: practice, practice, practice.

>Thealternativehypothesis is written by Ryan Faulk, who is an alt right white nationalist

Ok, so that automatically means his research is wrong? He is not a racist, or a white supremacist, because he writes on controversial subjects. It's a scientific truth that human populations differ in social ways for genetic reasons and that racial diversity does a great harm on society. I guess science is racist?

​

About that book - reviewers at it's Amazon page did a good job of explaining some things.

Gag gift box

But im tempted to get one and fill it with matches, kindling and a small gas can.

u/Rampant_AI · 6 pointsr/RimWorld

Yeah, I've got an m.2 SSD, gets speeds WAY higher than a SATA SSD

Erm what? It's a taxidermy 3d deer that I use to keep my sunglasses and keys so I don't lose them. I glued it to a wooden taxidermy base plate and added a stick on hook for the keys. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017YGAVU6

Yup! It’s probably cheaper because the new one just came out: GPD P2 Max

u/SusanTheBattleDoge · 1 pointr/RimWorld

I have this model. I know there's a new gen coming Soon^^^tm so be aware of that.

u/annihilatron · 4 pointsr/RimWorld

one of the things in his book is that a game should be a story that the player has some hand in (paraphrasing, a lot)

the tornado doesn't do squat for that. It's a cool concept but it doesn't tell a story, it doesn't interact with the player, and there's no sense of reward or difficulty in preventing it / countering it / recovering for it.

It's very much just a "YOU'RE SCREWED" stamp on the colony and you have to find a way to fix it.
