# Command Palettes
|
||||
|
||||
Command palettes are a design pattern where apps expose functionality through a search bar
|
||||
|
||||
Typing what you want is almost certainly easier and faster than finding the action in some submenu or remembering an arcane hotkey
|
||||
- Especially with fuzzy search that also looks through descriptions of actions
|
||||
- Command palettes scale very well with large amounts of actions
|
||||
|
||||
[Artificial Intelligence](/garden/artificial-intelligence/index.md) will make command palettes increasingly powerful
|
||||
- Eventually these may become conversational interfaces
|
||||
|
||||
Maggie Appleton discusses this pattern in her article on [Command K Bars](https://maggieappleton.com/command-bar)
|
||||
- The name comes from the fact many apps use the ctrl/cmd k shortcut to open the command palette
|
||||
|
||||
Many softwares I use have some form of command palette

This is a comprehensive guide to Incremental Games, a genre of video games. It will explore defining the genre, why it's appealing, and how to design and build your own incremental game. Along the way will be ~~interactive examples~~, snippets from other creators, and relevant material to contextualize everything.
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: This is an incomplete document. I want to keep adding opinions and opposing views from other incremental games developers, and add interactive examples to illustrate various points regarding game design and balancing. Consider this a living document - and see the changelog at the end.

# Life is Strange
|
||||
|
||||
A series of narrative driven video games with a focus on player choices
|
||||
|
||||
I really enjoyed the first game and engaged with the community a lot. I would get very emotional playing through the later chapters, and it became one of my favorite games.
|
||||
- A good "starter" collection of things the community made is available at [Life is Strange Post-Game Depression Starter Kit](https://www.reddit.com/r/lifeisstrange/comments/41hjk6/life_is_strange_postgame_depression_starter_kit/)

## The ending
|
||||
|
||||
I was not a huge fan of the ending of Life is Strange. Of the two endings, one very clearly got a lot more resources spent on it, but I think Max's story has a better conclusion under the other.
|
||||
|
||||
In my mind, Max's arc (and major themes of the last chapter) was about learning not to rely on her powers, and to learn to live with the consequences of her actions. To that end, having the game end with her taking responsibility and living with the consequences of such a major event is a fitting thematic conclusion to the game and her character arc. In contrast, the other ending shows Max relying on her powers once again and, in my opinion, portrays Max as having not grown nor learned any lessons throughout the entire series. I think its a disservice this ending got so much more attention, with unique outfits and a song dedicated to it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Life is Strange: Before the Storm
|
||||
|
||||
I really enjoyed this story. I didn't get _quite_ as invested, perhaps due to it being a condensed 3 chapters rather than 5, but the characters will still just as amazing, which is what makes LiS so good. The ending didn't have as much of a punch as LiS1 - in fact, the entire back half of episode 3 didn't quite meet the bar in my eyes. At the time, I enjoyed these threads discussing criticisms levied at that part of the game:

||||
Deadbones played through the game [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLweH2EmozgiOuLDIbtyoOnkQ9mWC72HmV)
|
||||
|
||||
## The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit
|
||||
|
||||
I enjoyed the demo, and it certainly got me hyped for LiS2 (although I would've been regardless). Switching to UE seemed like a really good move, and the comic theme fits the aesthetic of the series well.
|
||||
|
||||
## Life is Strange 2
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, I've only played the first chapter of this game. I wanted to play through it with Haley, but we haven't found time to do so.
|
||||
|
||||
LATER Skip the rest of LiS1 and play LiS2 with Haley
|
||||
|
||||
## Life is Strange: True Colors
|
||||
|
||||
This game seems interesting, although the power does seem a little funnily close to "has empathy". I haven't had time to play it, but would like to.
|
||||
|
||||
## Life is Strange: Double Exposure
|
||||
|
||||
I'm very excited for this game! Returning to Max's story sounds awesome. Although I will say, from the trailer alone it's _incredibly_ obvious what one of the story beats will be: Revealing that the two timelines follow the two disparate endings from LiS1.
|
||||
|
||||
This game was announced to come with premium editions that get access to the game earlier
|
||||
- I think this is a horrible anti-consumer practice
|
||||
- Since this game is narratively driven, it is prone to spoilers
|
||||
- They're getting more money from their biggest fans without providing any tangible value to them, other than making the experience worse for everyone who plays but doesn't cough up that money
|
||||
- I hope other narratively driven games find other ways to do [Video Game Monetization](/garden/video-game-monetization/index.md)

# Pre-Order Bonuses
|
||||
|
||||
> Referenced by: [Video Game Monetization](/garden/video-game-monetization/index.md)
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-order bonuses are benefits given to players who buy a game before it comes out
|
||||
|
||||
They primarily serve to benefit the company
|
||||
- People commit to buying before the embargo date passes
|
||||
- Heuristic of how well it'll sell after launch
|
||||
- Slight lead on return on investment
|
||||
- More significantly impacts indie studios, who will likely have less cash on hand
|
||||
- Companies make deals with storefronts to have exclusive bonuses, to drive customers to said storefronts
|
||||
|
||||
Common bonuses:
|
||||
- Digital goods:
|
||||
- Soundtrack
|
||||
- Cosmetics
|
||||
- [Premium Currency](/garden/premium-currency/index.md)
|
||||
- Physical goods:
|
||||
- Typically pins, keychains, etc.
|
||||
- Typically only included in physical editions of the game

# Premium Currency
|

|

> Referenced by: [Pre-Order Bonuses](/garden/pre-order-bonuses/index.md)
|
||||
|
||||
A popular form of [MTX](/garden/mtx/index.md) where instead of receiving a useful item or effect directly, you receive a currency that is then spent on an in game store
|
||||
|
||||
Reasons companies use them
|
||||
- Abstracts the real world price of items
|
||||
- No strict conversion ratio
|
||||
- Discounts for bulk purchasing
|
||||
- Small amounts given for free based on story progression or watching ads
|
||||
- Consolidates smaller purchases into a larger one (decreasing friction of individual purchases)

These sites may be useful to occasionally check up on rather than get notifications from on every post/change

## Why people want the small web

There are tools these days that make making websites incredibly easy

- There are plenty of free options out there for hosting static websites

- Ideally you'd use some sort of system that is easily transferrable to other servers, and possibly even supports nomadic identities

# Video Game Monetization
|
||||
|
||||
> Referenced by: [Life is Strange](/garden/life-is-strange/index.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## AAA games
|
||||
|
||||
Cost a lot of money to make, mostly due to the graphics arms race
|
||||
|
||||
The price required to make games that expensive earn the cost back would be much higher than the current price of AAA games
|
||||
|
||||
Graphics would not justify those higher prices, and AAA studios know this
|
||||
|
||||
Techniques AAA games use to make more money without raising the base price:
|
||||
- Premium Editions
|
||||
- [MTX](/garden/mtx/index.md)
|
||||
- [Pre-Order Bonuses](/garden/pre-order-bonuses/index.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Free-to-play games
|
||||
|
||||
Typically utilize [MTX](/garden/mtx/index.md) and ads in order to profit
|
||||
|
||||
## Indie developers
|
||||
|
||||
Trying to make a sustainable living is hard
|
||||
|
||||
The industry is packed with lots of competition
|
||||
|
||||
I don't blame them for their monetization
|
||||
|
||||
## Ethical game monetization
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
- Free demo
|
||||
- Paid base game
|
||||
- No MTX
|
||||
- Paid content expansions

Long term, Weird wants to build a new better fediverse
|
||||
- It's being built on [Iroh](https://iroh.computer), which allows for decentralized identities that are not reliant on any specific servers continuing to exist
|
||||
- Their current plans are laid out in [Next Gen Federation on Iroh: Graph Data & Linked Documents Layers](https://github.com/commune-os/weird/discussions/32)
|
||||
- Erlend discusses some of the implications for identity specifically in [Weird Netizens](https://blog.erlend.sh/weird-netizens)
|
||||
- I have my own high level take on how this new fediverse would look like in [Fedi v2](/garden/fedi-v2/index.md)
