A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

     Original OP text 
I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

On the subject of game design, y'all should watch Extra Credits, if you aren't. I think they talked about writing in games in one episode.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Yeah, I watch Extra Credits on and off. All of their stuff is incredibly good, and a good chunk of it is applicable outside of the game industry too.

This one is actually a really good example of what I think about the writing in games. I think the "High Concept" part is especially important. The writing is a lot of things in a game, but one thing that it is not is the idea behind the game. A project lead who doesn't understand that is going to be afraid to bring on a writer because they're afraid the writer will take over the project. A writer who doesn't understand that is going to de-rail a project and run it into the ground.

I've had the Daytona USA theme stuck in my head all day.

Also, I'll be workin' tomorrow, so I won't see the episode live. Someone watch it for me. tongue

I've wanted to make a magic system that's tied in to a kind of multi-axis peronality meter. Like, along the traditional-unorthodox axis, the first gives you spells that act the same way every time, the second has an element of randomness that are potentially more powerful, but also has a chance to fail or backfire.

Or, a direct personality gets flashy fireball or summon magic, while a subtle personality gets buffs/debuffs and utility spells. A bold person has access to more powerful offensive magic, while a cautious one gets better defensive options.

@ Storyyeller: I think I should apologize for taking that pot-shot at your writing and explain better why I was offended in the first place. It sounded like you were accusing me of trying to piggy-back off the talent and experience of people who are better than I am in order to fulfill a selfish end. I got mad at that and lashed out. I'm proud that I didn't lash out harder, but still ashamed that I lashed out at all. Sorry.

Anything in particular that's got you down, or is it the general crappiness that comes with depression?

It always bums me to see someone ailing.

@cdRW. Eeyup, general misery. As usual meds aren't doing anything, so chugging coffee at the moment to stave off a downward spiral.

#61445: Mar 28th 2014 at 7:25:01 PM

Aw jeeze, that sucks. I was hoping the new meds would help out for you. How long have you been taking them?

@CDRW. Five weeks now. Three and a half for the first dose, then doubled after that. Still nothing.

CDRW Since: May, 2016
#61448: Mar 28th 2014 at 7:35:31 PM

Oh, so it was a higher dose then, not new meds. Well, hang in there. It may take a bit of fumbling around to find the right med/dose combination, but it'll happen sooner or later.

Yeah, keeping that in mind to stay hopeful. One day at a time.

My point is that most of them are projects that are too big for one person.

I've made several games by myself. They're not necessarily the best games, but at least they exist. One common piece of writing advice is to just get down to it and start writing, and I think that applies here too.

And even if I were still making games, I'd have more ideas than I can ever do.
