it's separated in four chapters timestamped in the description, so feel free to take breaks or w/e

there's also a script: https://jphanderson.wordpress.com/2017/04/03/breath-of-the-wild-script/

...this script is longer than my doctoral thesis

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

PROCEDURALLY GENERATED MAPS ARE THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO GAMING. WORSE THAT DLC. WORSE THAN PAID ONLINE. WORSE THAN GOD DAMN MARIO PARTY 9. ITS LITERALLY OUTSOURCING GAME DEVELOPMENT TO COMPUTERS. GAME DEVELOPERS ARE PUTTING THEMSELVES OUT OF A JOB SO PLAYERS CAN "HAVE A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE EVERYTIME" FUCK THEM AND FUCK THAT WHOLE MINDSET. FUCK ROGUELIKES. FUCK TH EWORLD

so is nobody going to question what i mean by

[C.Mongler]

i thought it was pretty clear you meants games where you are surrounded by eternal plain mediocrity with the occasional delightful moments of bliss and joy.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

not quite but that is a valid interpretation lol

next guess

[Thyme]

that whatever is generated always ends up being very samey, ie it's gonna be a bowl of cereal no matter what

i didn't question it because it seemed obvious to me as well lol

[Hiro]

i was just about to ask  what the hell a bowl of cereal means

[don't let's]

They procedurally generate the distribution of marshmallows in the cereal

[Kalahari Inkantation]

but you guys

it's simply impossible to predict the ratio of corn flakes:marshmallows:milk the next spoonful will contain

you could get a blue marshmallow and three corn flakes

a purple marshmallow, a green marshmallow and two corn flakes

you could even get three marshmallows, one of each color, if you're extremely lucky

And you are GUARANTEED a completely randomized set of marshmallows and corn flakes with every pour from the box.

it's an entirely new experience in every bowl

an entirely new experience in every bite

counterpoint: subnautica is good shit

Word? I heard it was janky, but then again the person I heard it from is known to be a Boyah-level grump, so

4 years later i can confirm it's janky

Too janky for me, at least. I can recognize why people would love it tho, the sense of exploration is great. But after the rocket platform spawned in diagonal because I built it right above my submarine, I had to call it quits.
