I'm toying with it, it's an interesting tool, also because of the questions that lead to its current state.
I'm sorry if that was discussed before, I haven't read all posts
1) Form
I was checking it in the case of Encased. I couldn't save though because the name was not recognized. Later I came back to the first page with the name and only then the window with candidate names appeared, when I selected 'Encased' it erased the whole form (but it seemed possible to save it at the end this time, if I filled it in completely).
I noticed that some pages wouldn't pass even though all choices were made. Simply clicking again on the choices solved the problem, some of them seem to appear as chosen but are not. Not sure where it's coming from (I'm using Chrome, Win10).
2) Content
Regarding the Design, I checked 3 terms in
https://ultimatepopculture.fandom.com/wiki and
https://www.merriam-webster.com/, FWIW
- Arcanepunk (fantasy world where both magic and science exist)
- Steampunk (science fiction dealing with 19th-century societies dominated by historical or imagined steam-powered technology)
- Cyberpunk (science fiction dealing with future urban societies dominated by computer technology)
I have some trouble selecting a
Design, opted for Sci-fi even though it's alternate past history, but what should have looked modern back then (70's). I also find it difficult to separate the Design from the Setting since both go hand in hand.
I put
Isometric view, even though very few games are really isometric nowadays, it's an "angled top-down 3D view" by lack of a better term. Isometric is close enough I suppose
Some items got me confused:
- In Elements / Story / Immersion: "Your main character is defined." (NSM10) What do you mean, is it predefined like The Witcher 3 vs selected background? Or defined vs there is no story for the PC?
- In Fun Features / Exploration: "Is Auto-Mapping available?" (FE1) What do you mean? For example, a map which is revealed along its exploration, is that auto-mapping?
- In Fun Features / Story: "Are there pre-selected options?" (FS4) Pre-selected options where?
Is it worth it, if I do it correctly and save the result? Is it possible to edit it later?
