feel like the message is at odds w the mechanics but, what do i know
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Friday, 11 July 2014 23:32 (nine years ago) link
So I guess the message is you can't win - you try to make it go with more workers, you can't afford it, and if you try to modernize / improve your tech / use automatons revolution happens anyway

i got an 8192
― mookieproof, Monday, 14 July 2014 06:53 (nine years ago) link
i mean the message it teaches is that if you have capital you are right to think that everyone is against you, that your workers are shiftless idiots who will always demand more, that the public are idiots whose wants are tailor made for programmed redundancy , that you are within your rights to use yr influence with govt. to reduce the rights of the populace. this game is worse at politics than theme park

the dancing mice are cute tho I guess?
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Monday, 14 July 2014 10:50 (nine years ago) link
I read it in totally the opposite direction? Note that the 'boss' is a mouse until you drag it to the top and it becomes cattish? And if you lose the results are basically utopia, with production automated and all mice well-fed at last? I may have missed the government-influence mechanics though...
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 14 July 2014 15:32 (nine years ago) link
i meant putting mice in jail
my claim is that the ending sequence is at odds with the story the mechanics tell, and that since this is, allegedly, a game, the latter is more important
also lol that it is harder to make a reasonable profit and retire than bring about a technocratic socialist utopia, thanks for that guy
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Monday, 14 July 2014 18:17 (nine years ago) link
so how do you win that game?
― Nhex, Monday, 14 July 2014 18:19 (nine years ago) link
Ah okay, I see. Well, that's fair - the only thing I could offer is that it's a short game, probably meant to be played 1-2 times, so it can operate more like a joke-with-punchline: All along, you were identifying with the bad guys! Whereas if it were a longer thing and you were struggling for hours to better and better exploit the workers, then maybe that would be more uncomfortably dissonant? I mean, this is probably meant to operate as a stripped-down parody/critique of sim games where you really do spend hours/days building the company and reveling in satisfaction as your screen fills up with productive little workstations (that is, as you exploit people more and more thoroughly). The end of WarGames works because Tic Tac Toe doesn't take very long to play or understand. If it was actually as elaborate and consequential as Global Thermonuclear Warfare, it wouldn't be much use as a rhetorical device. Not saying it's great art or anything.
I couldn't figure out how to consistently put mice in jail (sometimes I had the option, sometimes not) or really do anything with the 'police cat.'
On another topic, I sunk a few hours into Westerado the other day - http://games.adultswim.com/westerado-action-online-game.html - before getting frustrated and walking away. There's some lovely art and the core of a cool game there...going around, gathering clues, visiting different places, filling in the map, picking up subquests from people. But it's just a little too brutal in its "get it right the first time" mechanics: there's permadeath and it's wayyy to easy to screw things up or do them out of order (once you've let all the buffalo loose for one quest, how are you supposed to talk to the ranchers for another one?). If it took less time to do everything you could just keep breezing through and trying to refine your game each time.

wait, you put mice in jail?

― tsrobodo, Thursday, 17 July 2014 14:10 (nine years ago) link
Well, I'm pretty sure you can't win. But the first time I failed in about two seconds b/c I was working out how to scroll without a scroll wheel. The second time... was a bit more harrowing.

for me, the frustration is that it is genuinely not even working! I had it up to 250k per sec and it is now idling in the low 130s. Too many screens freeze up.
