We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia

No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness.
Would you play this? pic.twitter.com/NSyEOoECk4
for every comment like this, I will add one extra pronoun to the game

Wow what a surprise the chick who doesn't get the point of videogames is also a giga shitlib. @MarkRippetoe wonder if she's also going too frick a guy for a good review like a certain other game developer.
that makes no sense for dev resources. we'd rather focus our efforts on the features we actually WANT to add

This is surely how all successful Jewish lives matter games earn money right
Sounds cool, but why no combat? I don't need to be in the heart of the gameplay, but these times were dangerous. Especially if you travelled alone through wilderness

Because sweetie it's made by women who don't play videogames so it's Mongolian Barbie for horse girls not an actual videogame

Literally just make it but don't expect the market to suddenly want games without combat. Also don't get in fights on Twitter unless your marketing angle is "trolls want to bury my game!!1!"
There's a game called Lake which is just this in modern times that looks kinda interesting.

I am on record saying for decades that I want more games that aren't all about combat, this is the next frontier after Dan Bunten made games that weren't arcade shit in the early 1980s, and that foids are probably the right people to make them. And specifically I am interested in the 1400s. I mean ffs I spent like 20 hours in the last week writing about Darklands. And my other favorite thing in the world is a TV show about a girl who works in a kitchen in 1400s Korea.
The problem with this tho is that this r-slur chose the single thing you could do on the planet at the time that's most likely to get you into combat. Being a courier in Central Asia in the 1300s is not a great job if you don't like taking risks. I'm gonna venture a guess here that she has never actually had a conversation with a black guy about places where he doesn't go because he doesn't like getting robbed.

I mean, it's not interesting to me, but a lot of games aren't interesting to me. I think this isn't super fundamentally a bad idea
