Cannibalism and human sacrifice has been found in many cultures all over the world. Hell they were still eating people up until 50 or 60 years ago in Papua New Guinea. They used to think it was a source of magic. If you ate someone who was strong, you would get their strength. If you ate someone...

You got that wrong. All the government did was make student unionism voluntary. When it came to paying their voluntary union fees this year 90-95% of students refused to do so. Why? Because they are at Uni to study and get a degree. They are not there to; hang out in student bars, play sport...

How about a quest to wipe out a cannibal cult that is hiding out in the hills? First you have to find them by listening to rumors in a bar and tracking down some old trapper who used to work in the area. Also you could have members of the cult hanging around the towns collecting info on...

I saw an interview with his Father today and he said Steve wouldn't want a State Funeral, because he saw himself as an ordinary bloke.

Steve was the kind of person many people laugh at or dismiss when they're alive, but miss when they are dead. I was listening to a late night radio show last night, where the host spent the first hour apologizing for criticizing Steve and his documentaries on the day of his death. The reason...

Geneforge doesn't campare to Fallout, but Spiderweb is the only Indie RPG developer I know of that makes a living from his games, so there must be something to it. Also check out his website, his latest game has done very well so you might like that more. The other RPG dev that is doing...

Hmmm... Maybe I'll have to think up my own one then. I'd really like to vary reactions depending on Charisma and Reputation so you are treated differently each time you play. Yes I just got the mapper and had a look at the reaction mod. I thought it was overly complicated to say the least.

Thanks for that I'll take look at it. :)

When your character meets someone for the first time in Fallout, the engine rolls against your Charisma to determine whether the NPC likes you or not. I also know that Karma is included in these calculations, but I don't know how it works exactly. Can someone explain it to me? Is there a formula...

No Man Friday By Rex Gordon It was published in 1956, so you'll probably only find it in a second hand bookshop.

I wouldn't sacrifice anything in Fallout. It is the only game I've ever seen where there is nothing in it that (I can see) could have been done any better. Hell if you tried to improve it you'd break it. :)

Hi Everyone, I’ve just added some speech skills (diplomat, intimidation, deception) to my engine and I’m itching to create some multi-path quests, using the new speech skills and the existing combat and thief skills. As I’ve read some great discussions here, I thought I’d ask if any of...

I have high hopes for that site and hope they make it. Its the first portal that isn't chock full of casual games. Edit: This is exactly the mindset that Manifesto will combat. Hopefully they'll be able to create an Indie brand for games that is similar to the grunge Indie brand that...

After this discussion I'm starting to think the premium price thing won't work. The high price would make it too much of a temptation for people to pirate the game instead of buy it. If games could be made so they couldn't be copied, it would have a chance of success, but I can't see that...

. When I floated this idea at a dev forum one of the experienced developers suggested something like this, because ordinary people wouldn't feel like they were getting their moneys worth otherwise. Another developer said if you wanted to charge higher prices, you'd have to beat your...

Wow! The texture work on that looks great.

I'm a dev and from what I've seen over the years the vast majority of games are made to be as simple and cheap as possible. Why? Because the vast majority of players don't like games that make them think and the only way to make a profit from low priced games is to target the majority. So I...

What about asking about the inspiration for the characters? Also how did they animate them for the game? The heads would talk, nod and change their expression at the same time, while their lips followed the sound tracks. This would have been a lot of work...

On the other hand they could be a highly advanced race with too much time on thier hands and a sick sense of humor.

I just Googled him. I found his resume on the first page and emailed him. I was trying to find out how they did the guts flying everywhere in the death animations. I had convinced myself it was done in clay, because I thought it would be too hard to do in a 3D modeller. Anyway he set me...
