Holy shit I love debt I love owing money to banks

The placeholder title for this game will be "Silent Gallows", because it sounds cool

Is this about the LGBTQ+ line that's in AI that people are being cry babies about?

It's about one of the characters being non-binary

Pretty sure it's Paper Mario TTYD

This looks... complicated.

The goal is to make it as easy as possible to solve the entire game logically, and you're going to need some flexible tools to do that.

Wait until you find out about baseball!

Gotta be Chrono Cross

a more detailed look at what the workspace should look like

What the fuck lmao

Should the gameplay just be pure logic, or should interaction with the prison yard be a big factor as well? I'm thinking unassigned prisoners might get in fights and the like, and if you don't end up resolving conflict correctly, people end up dead.

August 16. The price of the game will be raised after Act 2 releases, so it's in your interest to buy the game now.

Extremely rough demonstration of what the interface could look like. I want it to be as accommodating as possible to logically solving everything.

Definitely going to give it a watch. If anything else comes to mind, please let me know.

That certainly was A Movie

The player character should be revealed to be an AI that is being tested for the first time. If it succeeds, obviously prisoners live, but the AI goes on to help millions of people.

If you fail, not only do prisoners die, but you become discontinued too.

So there are stakes on both ends.

Not a bad idea.

Cool idea yeah, reminds me a little bit of the movie The Platform in terms of the potential narrative themes

Definitely going to give it a watch. If anything else comes to mind, please let me know.

It would be trivial to make this entire ass game in HTML/JS, if you figure out the hints.

I'm aware, but I'd like to do something cool with it presentation- and narrative-wise.

You are in charge of a prison (maybe mental institute?) which has 300 cells arranged in a 6(labeled A-F)x50(labeled 1-50) grid, and 300 prisoners (labeled 1-300). Your job is to place every prisoner in their one and only correct cell (i.e. Prisoner 214 goes in Cell B7); if you place a prisoner in the wrong one, they will be killed, and it is impossible for you to go back and fix your mistakes. This is obviously not going to be possible by pure chance, so when you place certain prisoners correctly, you will be given hints on how to place the remaining prisoners. Based purely on these hints, it is possible to solve the entire puzzle with zero guesswork; however, you will be given help items to make your life easier. You also have an ingame interface to help keep track of everything. Each prisoner has their own personality or quirk and relations with other prisoners, and you can talk to them before you place them to get an insight into the world the game takes place in. The number of prisoners that are alive at the end of the game is your score, and your score determines the ending you get.

My current, VERY rough idea for the narrative of the game is that (spoilers i guess lmao) the justice system is extremely draconian and gives no benefit of the doubt to the accused because the people in charge of the system don't believe it's possible to use logic to clear their name, so all of the prisoners are innocent. The player character is the result of an experiment by a scientist who believes in the power of reason, and the ingame interface to keep track of everything are the results of that experiment. Depending on how many people you save, you're somewhere on the spectrum of the shining example of how logic can save lives used to overhaul the legal system or executed as a mass murderer.

I'm not a narrative guy, and I'm very open to suggestions, but I feel like there's potential for a very cool story to be told here.

Haven't played this game much but I do remember that, haha. Which version of the game are you playing, again?

The PSP version, on original hardware.

Play Ultrakill

I love the part of the game where I die because I went into an area the game explicitly told me to go into and got immediately wiped and now have to replay an hour of slowly walking through towns this is such a good feature I wish all games had this

Ugh

Xeelee in the Xeelee Sequence series -- They have demonstrated the ability to routinely construct Closed Timelike Curves and have engineered their own evolution and history as far back as 13 billion years ago (within two hundred million years of the Big Bang). Their abilities in the series far exceed that of a Type III Civilization on the Kardashev scale.
The Xeelee used primordial black holes as a habitat, construction tool, and computing devices because, at the time they emerged, as the primordial black holes evaporated over time the Xeelee eventually migrated to using the supermassive black holes around which Galaxies were forming. Although the galactic black holes were trillions of times more massive than their ancestral homes, the Xeelee proved to be quite adept at using the complex physics around the event horizon for their own purposes.

okay yeah it's this one topic over

How the fuck was this a SNES game

Sounds like the same level of advancement as Star Trek

It's a notch or two above Star Trek.

My immediate thoughts go to Xenosaga, which is so advanced that it has the technology to recreate sensory experiences (like going to a concert) 1:1 and the user is literally unable to tell the difference, on top of spaceships the size of planets being regular fare and entire cities and even countries existing entirely on spaceships.
