    They forgot the abandoned mine. Small American indie game towns gotta have the abandoned mine that will factor into the story later.

    Hungarian developer 1: “RTS IN SPACE!!!”

    Hungarian developer 2: “Oh, so you’re telling us 3D real-time physics is impossible? Well, we just made a demo that has 3D real-time physics without knowing that.”

    Hungarian developer 3: “What if I invented a motorbike game, that will be very influential on a lot of flash game developers?”

    Hungarian developer 4: “I did gamer radicalization in the nineties, then I became a far-right blogger, because the only thing people were nostalgic about my games is the cifrakáromkodás, which I left out from Revenge on Army for the sake of a »better« dialogue system.”

    Canadian and UK indie developers: It’s a rogue-like zombie apocalypse RPG where you are guaranteed to die, filled with some of the craziest levels of detail seen in a video game. Also, it’s set in the US state of Kentucky, because reasons.

        I grew up in Kentucky.

        Yes. Though too easy of a place to escape Zombies. The woods are rough enough to reduce an undead corpse to paste.

        You will die of starvation wandering through endless wilderness though. That’s accurate.

      i’m not polish, but it kinda seems like nazi shit is on the rise fucking everywhere. capitalism is eating itself, and people are uneasy. it seems that, when they’ve been trained their whole life to let authorities do their thinking for them, in times of uncertainty, a lot of people will want to support a loud blustering “strongman” who will tell them exactly which outgroup is responsible for all their woes. even if they know deep down it’s all bullshit, at least they don’t need to face their actual problems, which are difficult and complex and nuanced, and would probably require personal sacrifice to actually solve.
