today i am recovering from vaccine side effects. i am also working on adding simultaneous events into the imsim. trying to figure out a good way to map out the different timelines event sequences could have so i can figure out a best way to declare them in scripts when creating content

Man, I was actually excited for Hard West 2 because the first one was surprisingly good. But I just learned they exchanged the ImSim real time action for XCom style turn based strategy, so I pass. What a damn shame man.

lots of people debate the true definition of imsim but its simple: an imsim is a game with a one off level where you're "disguised" and DON'T have to stealth but the rules for whether the guards "see through" your disguise are buggy and nonsensical and it feels like chewing fucking glass to play it

I Think You Should Leave imsim where you have to enter/exit horrible social situations by making everyone around you uncomfortable

Xbox would probably spend more money shutting down Arkane Lyon than it would trying to finish and release Marvel's Blade, according to a union representing workers from the beloved imsim studio. https://bit.ly/3X5QoKc

I've witnessed the same xeroxing problem with the rising glut of cruelty squad clones from the indie imsim community.

It's a line from a stage play with which I've become mildly obsessed, a dramatization of an episode in the life of artist Mark Rothko. Specifically, the time in which Rothko was commissioned to paint a set of murals...

I can't say for sure, as I haven't played it. Does it have the same kind of systemic/simulationist (or "Diet ImSim") underpinning? Or is it more along the lines of The Witcher (but in first person)?

My hottest take that will get me canceled permanently is that Thief is not an imsim. It is a stealth game and only a stealth game.

Zelda is an imsim because they added a jump button. That's immersive since, just like in real life, you can jump whenever you want.

Fire Emblem is an imsim because it immerses the player in a simulation of what it's like to be an asexual murder man with a gay best friend who is in love with you.

Don't get me wrong, I love when games reward you w/ different options/routes to success for having different tools/tech at your disposal
but fuck, not every game needs to try to do the imsim strat!! let shit wall you off for not having certain things sometimes! make me engage with your game's rules!

Not enough requests to really host an art stream tonight, so instead I'll play a game gifted to me after I tried the demo and really enjoyed its take on the King's Field gameplay. It's called Queen's Domain!

You're right though. It gets lumped in as an imsim because it was made by *the* OG imsim guys. But it lacks a lot the hallmarks of the classification.
I love Thief, it's one of my favorite games of all time. But it's not really an Imsim, and that's ok.
