I Live In Eastern Europe And I'm Making A Creepy Game About Authoritarianism (Demo Is Live)

Hello guys, I wanted to announced that I finally released my demo for The Milgram Experiment. One of the inspirations of the game is the book Obedience to Authority by the same scientist. Other big inspirations are Papers, Please; Pools; Sublimnal and the show Severance. ...

yep it works for me as well. The photo could have been taken from my hometown honestly. I wish there was some movement to rebuild them all.
Congrats on this achievement, from a fellow East Euro dev.

I'm installing Zorin OS for my 70+ mother and nobody will stop me.

I genuinely LOVE it! I've had Mint twice, but I always had minor issues that added up with time. No such issues persist on Zorin (knock on wood).

Emoji blobs or construction vehicles? Help me choose my game's visual identity | 😊 vs 🚜 |

I have some vague concepts of an idea, but they seem to change every once in a while.
I'd like a modern vaporwave rusty industrial pastel fabric 80s lighting look.

Yeah. I know.

purple_mimosa OP , 2 months ago

This is an awesome idea. And then the lightning symbol when it's charging. Thanks.

What and absolutely gorgeous website and assets! I may indeed take inspiration from these.

It didn't rise...

That's actually pretty solid for a first try! My first few all came out liquid.

Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job

It amazes me that people who can't distinguish between 'your' and 'you're' are allowed to manage people

She found for me, AND made them pay my legal fees. After two years of worry, it was one of the most satisfying days of my life.

This is great, but at the end of the day, they still harassed you with their bs lawsuit, and they still gave you 2 years of stress. Justice would be them getting counter-sued and you getting compensation for psychological trauma. (even though you will never get your health back 100% from a process like that.)

Reading this as an ETL speaker, it gives me second hand embarrassment.

This, a pen, and coffee

damn, i hope that one day i'd be able to play my modded Skyrim like that. It was amazing on weed edibles, even if i just got lost in the same village over and over again.

Damn. TIL. Well, I'd better be in a good headspace if i ever try that for sure.

I have never had any experience with a non-cannabis substance sadly (except once with half a pill of mdma), but i'd definitely love something that would let me chill and get in touch with the higher forces of the universe again. I got my ideas for my future games/book series by being so stoned on edibles, I saw the universe as a mathematical web of colorful highways.

Thanks for all the information you've provided.

Help me decide what I should name my game! Currently Country Architect, it turns out that "country" has a double meaning in English that I was not aware of ["Infrastruction" it is.]

EDIT6: Due to Steam needing an email from me so that I could get a new link, I decided it's not worth the hassle to change its name (Keeping the name polled high anyway). ...

Thank you so much!!!

You're right, I should have made some google poll or something, darn it. (EDIT: added non-twitter link, removed old one)

There are games such as Prison Architect (that are my inspiration in various ways), but I wouldn't bee as bold as to name mine just Architect. 😅

Another idea was Nation Builder, but that also seems too generic to me.

You're the first person to explicitly say to like my Steam page (even though I am fully aware the graphics are kind of atrocious), so thanks again. I'll keep developing this project, and see where it goes.

purple_mimosa OP , 3 months ago

not that kind of architect 😓

purple_mimosa OP , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago)

Infrastruction or Infrastructor?

oh my.

purple_mimosa OP , 3 months ago

Very good ideas and information, thank you.

purple_mimosa OP , 3 months ago

That would be architectcrazy.

purple_mimosa OP , 3 months ago

tysm!

purple_mimosa OP , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago)

So, I think I'm choosing Infrastruction.

purple_mimosa OP , 3 months ago

This kinda convinced me to stay with Country Architect (for now). It seems like no matter what I pick, there will be some downside, people telling me about (very valid) concerns about legibility, clarity, accuracy and whatnot.

Also, someone said there are terms such as "the architect of this or that idea, concept, big thing", that is basically synonymous with "creator". That's what I was going for anyway.

purple_mimosa OP , 3 months ago

It turns out, Nation Builder is already taken as a board game name.

purple_mimosa OP , 3 months ago

Thank you.
