Making the Game Bethesda Won't

[@dosbueno2gud]

Ah shit I just noticed the popping in the first 15 seconds. This took too long, I am not fixing it :P

[@Lex_Araden]

Ha jokes on you, my headset is so bad I can't hear any popping.

[@kieranmilner4208]

Yo I’m interested in doing some art for your game but the discord link on the Parton doesn’t work can you send me one please

[@dosbueno2gud]

Should be fixed now. I broke the Patreon integration a bit ago and didn't notice, presumably because I am, on occasion, phenomenally dumb.

[@Bklyn93]

@@dosbueno2gudhey, are we getting any more Dagoth Ur videos? Also have you ever considered creating a Dagoth Ur based mod around the videos? For example all the takes Dagoth gives Nerevar. I know many (myself included) would play it

[@dosbueno2gud]

@@Bklyn93 I've thought about modding it in yeah. I don't really like making the videos much anymore because I burned out on it so hard, but making a morrowind mod is 100% in the cards if I can get in touch with someone who is actually good at morrowind modding.

[@readyforlol]

Oh hey ! A fellow self-taught dev pushed into undertaking a massively ambitious project (because the AAA industry couldn't be arsed to make a single good game in their niche for over a decade) who tried getting started on Unity a couple of times, bounced off and eventually found Godot before finally settling in that creative groove. My niche is sci-fi combat flight sims, and my Nemesis is Star Citizen, but the feeling remains the same. I wholeheartedly support you.

[@dosbueno2gud]

X4 is pretty good in that genre, Star Citizen has been a decade long debacle at this point.

[@HumanityAsCode]

Star Citizen is a dumpster fire. Good luck with your space game!

Breathing creative spirit into a largely uncaring world really Kwaas my Flanenzerg. Keep going, buddy. Keep going. Keep going. I’ll watch these videos as long as you make em, and look forward to testing whatever comes out of this!

I'd love to have a demo out by the end of the year.

[@HumanityAsCode]

I have two Bethesda-RPG like games to recommend: Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon Dread Delusion Both are in Early Access but they have a promising start. I think for the price they have enough content, right now, to get your money's worth too.

[@YourWaywardDestiny]

In the first minute and a half, the hyper-specific description of the yes-no-what-were-we-talking-about-again Starfield explanation was delivered so seriously, and yet, was so funny that if I wasn't already inclined to watch your update, I would have stuck around just to see if more of that came up. Just thought you should know you did a good job on the hook, that can be a hard thing to land for many people.

[@dosbueno2gud]

Thanks, I am trying to leverage the comedy writing I was doing for the memes I used to do. Still pretty new at all of this tbh.

[@Lex_Araden]

People making their own games because they are frustrated with the modern gaming landscape really Kwaa's my Flanenzerg. BTW might stop by the discord to talk game design. If you are looking for a programmer to bounce solutions off of, my name is the same on the Discord. Working on my own adventure game that is most similar to Sid Meier's Pirates or Mount and Blade, so I can't offer dedicated assistance.

[@dosbueno2gud]

no worries, talk is always good.

[@endlesnights3817]

Looks cool, best of luck in the project. One element of the longevity of the RPGs of the past that really helped with their staying power was them being packaged with devolvement kits allowing for easy modability by the wider community. Are you taking into consideration design choices that would allow for easy implementation of 3rd party content? Be it via serialization of data that can be modified by hand or via, or if you were to include parts of the project that could be rebuilt.

[@dosbueno2gud]

I would like to support mods in some fashion, I plan on having a lot of things loaded out of .JSON files that the player could modify to load in new items, quests, ect ect, so we will see how that goes.

[@endlesnights3817]

Awsome, it's best to consider these elements at the start rather than having to rebuild everything down the road.@@dosbueno2gud

[@Glenps1247]

This is the first time I've been on your channel but I'm so glad you were recommended to me. There's obviously a huge untapped market for deep, compelling 3D RPGs and the indie scene is absolutely dominating the AAA garbage that's been spewed out recently, Dagoth Ur really Kwaa's my Flanenzerg but if you can pull off Blood & Rust I think there's a massive potential for a genre revitalization in the future. Good luck, I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!

[@randomthings1293]

Good luck!! Can't wait to play it

[@WordEaters-gr9hv]

kudos to you, it will not be an easy development for sure. very ambitious.

[@Mordrevious]

Okay but is it gonna have racism? It’s not a Morrowind-like without the locals hurling fantasy slurs at you for bumping into them.

[@dosbueno2gud]

I have thought about it a lot actually, and I have decided that I really don't want to make a game about the specific type of thing that Morrowind is. The answer is "Yes, to a lesser extent and subject to change as the project wears on."

[@Mordrevious]

@@dosbueno2gudThat's a very fair answer. I'm excited to see where this project goes.

[@jeremymain7303]

Bethesda has always been garbage. They peaked with Morrowind, which at the time was overshadowed by Bioware's early insanely customizable and player responsive expansive masterpieces. Bethesda came out with Oblivion at just the right time to catch kids who's only experience with RPGs was WoW. To all of us older gamers it was a massive step backwards. Then they made Skyrim, which was Oblivion but with basic standards and that was it for most of you. Now that you've gotten older and seen what the genera can be, you're finally getting how bad Bathesda has always been. Take a look back at Oblivion. It's a shallow mess which seems to be made out of bugs. There is zero reason why this company ever should have been a success.

[@dosbueno2gud]

I have finally had the Rose Tinted Glasses beaten off of me. I will go up to bat for a lot of Bethesda's stuff but honestly I don't have it in me to even lightly defend them anymore.

[@zacharyweaver276]

[@stayhydratedwalter]

I really respect your dedication, dude. I wish you luck on development. Definitely wanna support it when I have the means to do so

[@Bozebo]

Brilliant. I make my own rpg mechanics with test coverage and different attempts at balance every year or so but never make a game out of it, probably because I'm also re-starting city builder base mechanics every year or so too and I still have that mmo code in the backlog from 20 years back xD

[@emolovetree]

Morrowind for sure benefits from being older tech, the flexibility of not having voice acting made the cost of adding a quest to morrowind must be penny on the dollars compared to starfield even when adjusting for inflation

[@littlebeefbeefpro1920]

So I would recommend adding is a tooltip when hovering over key words (a thing from strategy games like victoria 3 and crusader kings 3) (for example in a character customizer if a player hovers over luck with their mouse then it will tell them what that skill is useful for) (although that is definitely against the school of thought that is show not tell)

[@dosbueno2gud]

dude I love the hell out of that mechanic, Wrath of the Righteous does something similar whenever it uses a proper noun from it's setting, basically, anything your character should know will be communicated to the player through tooltips over names, but if you already know the setting you don't have to use them. Really good mechanic, I would love to use it.

[@cyanthrope]

bethesda, specifically, has burned me so many times in a row now. If their failure leads to the creation of heartful handcrafted games in the same genre, then it'll have been worth it. Please keep working on your game, even when the going gets hard, even if it doesn't come out just like your vision of it. The world needs these games back.

Hell yea man. I had a similar epiphany a while ago and just decided to start learning unity to make my own game(s). Best of luck, I'll be excited to see how you do. Side note, if you aren't using chat GPT to help learn coding as a solo dev, highly recommend it.

[@dosbueno2gud]

I took coding courses in college, so that is uniquely not really an issue for me. Most people have a lot of trouble with code, its a huge barrier for entry when it comes to video games. My main bugbear is honestly UV mapping and texturing, cannot wrap my brain around it.

New Vegas was the peak of 3D RPGs; the graphics were just good enough to not hurt your eyes and the controls weren't janky, you could still make meaningful decisions that would affect the Mojave, there were options, there was exploration off the beaten path, and there were still actual RPG mechanics. That's what I miss about RPGs- them actually being RPGs.
