honestly “this game is a number of acts, each with a number of quests, and the end state of the quests in the previous act influences the quests in the current act” is a really effective way of structuring a game to produce meaningful choices and also seems completely alien to contemporary open‐world game design
@coriander i mean there are walking simulators and adventure games with good writing but please don’t put player choice in those games i don’t want to have to walk through the same area five times to get all of the content

@Satsuma oh it looks like you already kudosed that one so i'll re-up the “scuds of semen-white flowers” fic in case you never actually read it https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10322446/

@Satsuma i don't remember if i've shared this one to you or not but it's good and involves people from [new york] visiting [england] https://archiveofourown.org/works/24266482
@wallhackio friendly voice: tech.lgbt and indiepocalypse.social are both pretty good i think; they probably have mastodon.social silenced but not blocked (the current situation here)
