Thread: Aigis Game Design Review

IMO that flexible dynamic is a huge advantage, since it allows each player to advance and enjoy the game at his/her own pace, which is particularly appreciated when you see the opposite side in games like PPS.

That reminds me of a browser game of sorts that I played a while back, called Dragon Tavern. While the style was drastically different, it was also totally PvE. It did have rankings, but that was the only real form of competition - what I call "indirect" competition. It was actually really nice, although I'm biased since I dislike PvP in general.

The only Nutaku game that doesn't reset a battle or map when you have crappy internet browser or service would be Kamihime

I don't think Aigis should be blame for it since it's an old game. Online Gacha games are pretty much iffy on the tech stuff. Have to use VPN, clear cache

Compared to console games, (well, the older ones that don't use internet) don't crash.

Edit:

So gonna miss dat. I can't tell which hole for some Hentai scenes is his dick going into. In Anna's case, I can't tell if her 2nd scene had penetration or she's just rubbing his dick with her clit. Since I can't read the Hentai dialogue in DMM,

Sometimes, they don't show blood for virgins. Oh well :P

i personally don;;t care about the scenes , but i having everything in japanese is a bit much for me. I don't have the patience to go and translate everything

I'm going to do my best to get as many English sex scenes (thanks to the scene collection project) as possible... because I'm not going to care about it on the DMM version. The pictures are almost never enough for me on their own, the real fun for me comes from the dialogue...

Does sound like the DMM version doesn't have one of the major issues that the Nutaku version had for me (no rewards on defeat), so that makes me more interested in switching.

Anyway, I'll have to devote some time to everything I did like about Aigis, as well as my own ideas for what I'd do if I were designing stuff for this or a similar game. Kinda fun to think up unit ideas for Aigis...

It's not a reward for defeat. More like compensation or some hardcore folks who don't like it, pity stamina refund

Details, details. My issue was that you spend that amount and get nothing for your efforts. With DMM, the cost is mitigated.

man, it's not a reward for defeat, getting a game over

it also works out if the game freezes on you or your browser crash

It's just a refund

Yeah you did

I stand by what I meant, but I don't care about trying to explain it anymore, and you are devoting way too much time to a confusion over word usage. It's derailing the topic, and I'd rather get back to what this thread is about.



On which note, I'll have to write a list of things I would hypothetically have suggested for Aigis itself, were the option available. faketurtle, do you have any ideas for what sort of game you'd like to design, or are you currently just gathering ideas and focusing on what made Aigis good?

I've been back playing on DMM and I agree that it's nice to not shell out the full amount if you loose a match. It also helps smooth out the aggravation if you loose connection or experience any other technical difficulties that force you to forfeit the match.

If you got more time allotment per day then loosing full cost would be a none issue. But Aigis was designed around a twice per day concept. Which I prefer because it's a pain the fucking ass having to log in every other hour to use up your time allotment in order to keep up.
