Hey Cultists! I've been wanting for a while to make a Discord to talk and discuss the lore of Cultist Simulator and Book of Hours, but the fact that I'm quite forgetful and not that smart enough to figure things out has always held me back from talking about it too much, knowing that there's people who know way more about it than me.

Those days are over, and with my new access to the Book of Hours Beta, I'd love to build a small community of CS lovers! If any of you are interested in small streams of the beta, discussion of the lore and gameplay of Cultist Simulator, let me know!

It's funny hearing someone say that they liked Cultist Simulators writing when

Bro it's bad. Like, even before learning Alexis Kennedy is an abusive piece if shit, the game wasn't good or well written. And full disclosure, i liked some of his fallen london writing, notably SMEN. I went into CS hoping to like it and finding the gameplay boring at best and the writing just...bland. A tired knockoff of prior works it wants to follow in footsteps of. I sincerely can't believe anyone would find enjoyment in the game.

And then learning about the dev himself? Anyway please don't give a cent to the fucker idc if he has a new game, spend your 10-20 bucks elsewhere. Donate to a good cause. Fuck, even spending it on lunch would be a better use

An ad-hoc game design curriculum

Mostly for my own reference, here are the 5 things I’m working through right now to satisfy my learning-thirst for game development:

GD50 by Harvard / CS50 on edX This is Harvard’s Game Development basics course to follow up their intro to computer science (CS50). I love CS50 when I tried it years ago, and after working through the Pong lecture I’m hooked on this course. Expect to develop a wide selection of games across a variety of tools at breakneck speed.

Writing for Games: Theory and Practice by Hannah Nicklin (Paperback) This was a gift from my partner and I’m so grateful for it! Practical, holistic advice for writing for games by someone doing it (and doing it well). It is designed as a text for serious aspirants and fills a learning gap for my inner storyteller wannabe.

Godot 3D Tutorial by Tutemic on YouTube This is a 7 hour video walk-through of 3D game development in Godot. Unlike other tutorials, the author takes plenty of time to deeply discuss their thinking as they build a 3D scene, design a dialog manager, and implement core mechanics for a simple game. This feels like apprenticing with a professional, and is absolutely worth the time.

Low Poly Landscapes - Blender Bite Sized Course on GameDev.tv I feel like Blender is a must-have skill at this point, and I picked up this and multiple other courses on Humble Bundle (always worth keeping an eye on those). Grant Abbitt’s teaching is timeless, focusing on fundamentals and efficiencies that an aspiring professional will want to master.

Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games on YouTube This YouTube channel is a passion project by the creator of Kirby & Smash Bros. designed to teach some of his best tips on game design. It is a playful, inspiring little channel, with bite-size videos on a variety of topics that can be watched in any order. I just love watching these, they ooze both fun and game dev experience!

I have some other resources I’m enjoying such as Alexis Kennedy’s Against Worldbuilding and Other Provocations and The Snare of the Tree, and Other Perilous Seductions. I love Kennedy’s writing and these two paperbacks have a lovely grip matte finish with matched (or aesthetically mismatched?) covers, making an attractive pair on the shelf.

what's up with alexis kennedy (wrt the 'he is many things, many of them bad')?

he dated two of his employees while he was the CEO of failbetter games which is by all accounts pretty fucked up

#ask #apollo-cackling #he has a long write up where he defends himself and says that these relationships were fully consensual yada yada yada #and also presents a not-unconvincing case that the current management of failbetter took advantage of this information surfacing #to screw him out of ownership / money they owed him #however ultimately even IF all that is true #even accepting the Ofifical Alexis Kennedy Exonerative Account Of Events #i still think that dating your employees is simply unconscionable
