the story of the save station menu got to me.

Bisse posted:

The Save Station Menu

Lazrool had Dark Drakers to sour his B2 dev life, I had the Save Station Menu.

The Save Station Menu is just a menu. It allows you to save but also is where you check equipment, refresh stats, level up, fuse gun's, etc. Nothing really extraordinary about it. What is extraordinary is that it was trash binned and recreated from scratch five times.

The first version was an incomplete prototype. Then it was time to add remaining functionality. When we looked at it there was fierce team discussions about its design. Some including me saw potential to make it more user friendly, others wanted to just stick to the original design since it worked and was there. To be honest if you asked me today I would definitely just have kept what was there.

Anyway we came up with new ideas and someone made a second version. This one was a bit buggy and also never quite made it past the prototype stage. But it felt like an improvement. We tackled other more important things and left it to be continued later.

Then one day we open the project and suddenly there is a new Save Station Menu in there, looking similar to the original design but obviously a third new version. Some quite reasonable questions were asked: Who made this and why? Why in the original design? Who took the decision to remove the previous one? Why wasn't the team told? The answer was someone in ToG inner circle had asked someone, I think GZ but am not sure, to remake it according to the original design without informing anyone. The whole thing was just strange.

Aaanyway years passed and the game changed and the menu needed a do-over again, we had the same user interface discussions again, and landed on something which I hunkered down in my code cave and built. There are two screenshots of Version 4 in this update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/talesofgames/barkley-2-an-rpg-sequel-to-barkley-shut-up-and-jam/posts/1335376
To be honest I quite loved this. Also I made this during a time I was out of country with just a macbook and GM:S needs windows, so I bought a new Windows laptop specifically for building this during a time I could otherwise have enjoyed seeing the country.

Then came a personal hiatus due to stress, few months later I shaped up and decided to get back in gear, I open the project, check out the menu and. Lo and behold. There is a new menu again, a version 5. In the original design. Of course no one had bothered to inform me.

And that moment soured me on B2.

Just the utter lack of communication combined with watching your hard work get thrown out gets to me. The big dev stories posts started beginning of June '19, and there's a lot of interesting ones. Beware the dark drakers.

Yeah, but they're all pretty normal looking and well made. He still posts in DIY occasionally.

It's incredibly frustrating to try and go back and read any of those stories because a lot of them are blanked. I know a few are still floating around the forums but I can't for the life of me tell you what they were about. Maybe ghost stories? I remember whichever one I did read, the protagonist was the most bad rear end of bad asses and it was extremely obvious how fictional the whole thing was.

Scuttlebutt I heard was they got blanked as part of a publishing deal for his stories. I think there's a book or two of them on amazon, but I don't have links.

Hodgepodge posted:

i mean, in the abstract i would call keeping an animal indoors-only outright cruel. like if you think your house is an ideal environment for any animal, you're making GBS threads yourself.

but all those predators do exist, and worse- humans. i've had a cat get out on halloween and not come back, and i doubt that was an accident.

and in some circumstances, yeah, there may also be a conservation concern. just don't trick yourself into thinking you're righteous for keeping your cat indoors in the majority of the ecosystems goons live in. the only attempt to estimate the number of racoons in north america was about 5-10 million (they coexist very well with humans) and they'll be glad to pick up any slack you make from keeping from your housecat indoors.

e: i'm also a tad skeptical of our ability to manage the phenomenon of invasive species except in isolated areas and specific cases where the mechanism behind the spread of the species is relatively easy to monitor. like there are two global colonial species on Earth- humans, and the ants which have formed a global supercolony. what can we do about this? probably nothing, the supercolony is likely more resilient than our own species.

this is the dumbest thing i've read on this website holy poo poo lmao

please keep your cat indoors. they can and do impact the local wildlife. if you're so concerned about your home environment not being a "good ecosystem" for a domestic animal holy poo poo don't get a pet.

i've read your posts. i don't think you have that capacity.

still lmaoing at the idea that raccoons will "be glad to pick up any slack you make from keeping from your housecat indoors". on top of all the other dumb stuff you've posted.

but seriously, don't let your domesticated animals interact with wildlife. they're not native species anymore, or in the case of domesticated cats in the americas, they never were.

Hodgepodge posted:

cool. i posted an analysis which indicates that removal of cat predation can actually have an negative impact on wildlife in some cases, in new zealand, an ecosystem in which cats are far more alien than they are to north america.

you have: incredulous laughter at the idea anyone might even slightly disagree with you

here, let me help you by quoting a relevant sentence again:

yeah, because they ate the invasive rats. unfortunately they do not limit themselves to just those invasive species, as your quoted paper goes on to state.

quote:

It is easier to identify the damage done by cats on islands and most of the conservation problems and extinctions blamed on cats have happened on islands where cats are an invader species. The fauna of these environments have often evolved without pressure from cats and are vulnerable to them. In New Zealand a few bird species have become extinct due to cat predation (Stephens Island wren, Little Barrier snipe) but many local island populations have been severely reduced by cats. On Herekopare Island cats eliminated yellow-crowned parakeets, robins, fernbirds, brown creeper, New Zealand snipe, banded rails and broad billed prions. However even on the main islands of New Zealand cats have had significant impact on black stilts, and black fronted terns and in some places skinks are an important part of their diet.

please keep your domesticated cats indoors.
