    Long ago, I had had an idea of an rpg where you play as an introvert with sever anxiety. Each dialogue is a fight.

    New style learned : young talk.

    Effects in dialogue : cause cringe status effect to surrounding characters if they are young adults or younger, otherwise cause confusion.

      Disco Elysium is sorrrrta like that, if you squint a bit.

      Not focused around being an introvert or different dialogue styles exactly, but you’re a mess of a human being and conversations can literally hurt you, as it tracks your mental health as well as physical.

      You should try it if you haven’t already.

        It also does damage to you as the person sitting in front of the screen whenever you disappoint Kim!

        Heard of the name but never really checked it. Reading the wiki, my idea wouldn’t achieve a 1/100 of the depth this game has to offers. Very impressive game .

              Ah, I didn’t pay attention to the instance you were posting from. I already frequent several of the comms on dbzero and like half of the games in my library are pirated but thanks for the kind offer.

          If you’re interested then you should definitely give it a shot. There’s no combat - all your “battles” are just conversations 😅

        I have quite a lot of ideas and whil I am an amateur programmer,such games need stellar writing to be worth it and I doubt I can pull it off. Also, while the art doesn’t need to be very fancy, I can’t draw for beans.

            I actually rely on a very human effect to scribble as a de-stress mechanism. I paint and remove random lines until pareidolia kicks in and I see a form in the nonsense. I then just add eyes and a mouth and some additional touches . Sometimes, I end up with some nice character concepts I wish I could use.
