By For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term “diezel” (pronounced “dee-zel”) or “ortiz” (pronounced “ort-iz”) you will be amazed at the amount of knowledge I have about this particular brand of self-awareness.
This is a game made by a developer who is more than a little eccentric. In our experience, self-awareness is a rare skill that few people have mastered. To get an example of how self-awareness can be applied in a game, you could say that most players of Minecraft are able to build a fortress (or, as I like to say, a “fortress”). If I’m not mistaken, the first thing I ever made when I was playing Minecraft was a fortress.
In Deathloop, players can build their own fortress. I don’t know if it’s just because Im so far away from my own personal fortress, or if that’s what the game’s developers want to create. I do know though, that when I was playing Minecraft, I was the only person in the world that could build a fortress. Since then, other people have built more and more to try and become the only one who can build a fortress.
I guess that makes sense, because the game really is a sandbox where you can build anything you want and be as creative as you want. The developers make it clear that anyone can build anything they want because the game is designed to be fun and challenging.
Well, the way I look at it, it’s probably a little different, but I think the idea is that you should be able to design the thing you want to build with the thing you want to make. The whole thing is built on a map so you can move around and explore. The game is designed so that you never have to fight or do anything to actually build anything, it’s just a matter of putting it all together.
That’s the goal, and it doesn’t really matter if you play the game and say, “I’m not a programmer.” You can still build anything you want to. You just have to be able to visualize the possibilities.
And that, my friend, is what the “designer” in that sentence means. It’s a game about designing.
The whole game is built on a map, so you can still move around and explore. But it means that you can build any kind of whatever you want to.
That’s what I think, anyway. I think I can definitely build anything. I just have to be able to visualize the possibilities.
Its not about the game, its about that ability. The fact that you can build anything is a good thing. The fact that you can build anything is a good thing. The fact that you can build anything is a good thing. The fact that you can build anything is a good thing.
