what if the whole party shares their gold and the fewer resources you spend at
the market the more your vote is weighted
so, the opposite of:
In the eternal quest for increased revenue, YouTube is introducing a feature
where rich people can like videos more than poor people, and I am about to
throw up.
It is called the hype button, and it is similar to the like button. But where
likes are democratic, hypes are for pay, allowing rich kids to add as many
hypes to videos as they can afford.

you can make a functional prototype for almost any game in Warcraft 3's map
editor
that's why no real-time strategy game ever made an editor as good again
FPS editors peaked at Unreal Tournament 2004 imho
RPGmaker eliminated a whole class of game design jobs
platformers you can make in godot
menu based games too, though Twine also works well for that
etc etc until you have a prdouct that you can justify sinking money into an
engine for
(the engine isn't THAT expensive geez and it's the most fun part to write)
yeah I think you got this backwards, we should pay for the CONTENT not the
structure it lives in. Why not just use godot? why not use a Warcraft 3 map?
there are some things you can't do in Warcraft 3. You couldn't make Supreme
Commander, probably, at least it wouldn't be as good.
etc etc that's how it goes...
game design, amiright? I miss thinking about that. Anyway gtg gotta log off for
