rawb

Yeah I think he had alot of Secondary and Tertiary ideas for the gameplay and not a primary idea to bring it all in line or decide what to cut

100%

Which sounds like to be honest all of his projects in one way or another

Had Tom stayed (or if he got help from the community) early on, not that I think he'd have been successful, but he might have made more headway on actually building some foundational system that was good

and then we could point to Krysta leaving as the reason it fell apart, rather than UQ kind of being doomed from the start

Rob was really positive about it though, which is why I think people were willing to give him a chance with it, community felt like if nothing else it was going to be fun to see him develop this for a couple years

but then that faded fast after he kind of shut the community out from the development process (and did a shitty forum revamp)

he'd talk about ideas, or music, or play with netcode on stream or w/e

and not that I think people were asking for him to do coding streams realistically

but it would have been cool to see progress, or have him demo some gameplay modules (even just basic running around)

I'm blanking on the name, what was the animation software thing Rob was using for URealms/Uquest

that got discontinued

Adobe Animate?

The one for puppetpals?

no, old urealms

no, I think it was something else by then

not live

O lol

it wasn't done in Flash

well it was

and I don't think it was shockwave

but he had a very interesting workflow, and was essentially building the game in an animation engine

I remember being hypes for uquest to launch in like 2015-2016

Adobe Director

that was the one we had to find him a crack for in 2015/2016

because they revoked licenses after they shut it down

timestamp

amazing

That reminds me of how George Martin writes books on like a word software from the late 80s lol

Is the video where he announced UQ was cancelled on rawb.art?

Nvm I found it

I do not see Rob again

whats the point in going through Toronto if not to drive past Rob

Fair question. I know there are probably a few decent restaurants somewhere but idk

Toronto is basically the new york of Canada

so there is "stuff" to do, like the symphony

but I cannot understand wanting to live here

I know the line between what is/isn't a city is blurring (and where city limits actually are)

but I'll give Toronto credit for being a city with a lot of real housing at least

that's the part I don't think I could do, I could live in a smaller house, have less land, and have less garage/parking space

but when you tell me I need to live on floor 15 in some building, and use all these wonderful shared amenities and public transit

something in my soul just rejects it outright

that means you're not a bugman

I think the area I live in rn is close to peak, aside from the cost of everything sucking

Toronto just ate everything around it

so its housing used to just be other small communities

I've been led to believe that West coast Canada is worse

Vancouver/Surry

Edmonton is not the coast, but yeah

yeah fixed

I get that one mixed up

Edmonton is bad too though

Calgary as well

vancouver and victoria have thespace problem of being coastal/ on an island

limited/no way to expand

Coastal BC is complete ass

its like moving to san fransisco

mainland BC is awesome minus the fires

Pika, what's the smart people term they always use to justify why cities are good

my mind goes to density effect, but I think there's an actual term

"if we shove all these people in close proximity, the smart ones will gather together and do great things"

lets call it coagulation

Idk, its the notion of "walkable cities". They like to cope that you need everything within a 5 min walk of your box you live in

I would not want to live in a small town where you need a car to survive, I like the middle ground of "everything is within reason" so a 1 hour walk to walmart is fine, you don't need to do daily trips to the store

a 1 hour walk to walmart is "within reason"?

yes

Just imagine carrying your groceries back

That would suck

so a 2-hour round trip hand half of it is spent carrying a bunch of heavy bags

Get a wagon if you are getting a lot

Also I do not associate food shopping with walmart

You get food at a dedicated food store (zehrs/loblaws, fresh co, food basics here)

Pika, no shade

If you are thinking food groceries, yeah that should be closer

do you post on r/fuckcars

I need to know

I like cars

just not owning or driving them!

yes
