    Question about Goats and Religion.

    Inscryption, Binding of Isaac, Cult of the Lamb, etc... It's a whole aesthetic amongst indie games at this point.

    What truly = 'hive mind' ?

    I haven't really done a lot with it yet, but the dominant society in the Elemental Plane of Wood be a hive mind society. Go with sort of a Dryad type design for it's "civilians" though officially they mix together elements of plants, fungus and animal freely. With them I want to play around...

    Question about Goats and Religion.

    Well not everything is going to appeal to everybody. Nothing wrong with that. Personally I don't really see anything wrong with the game. *shrug* EDIT: Honestly it's not any different then devil stuff in rock music as I see it.

    Translation Goals

    In my experience there have been some people who have had rather... ahem, heated reactions to what they perceive as any changes made to a story over the course of translation, though it's something I've generally only seen within the general vicinity of anime/manga, video games and other such...

    Translation Goals

    Lately in certain corners of the internet the topic of translating fictional works has become, shall we say, controversial. I'll spare you the details, but I'm wondering... As writers what would desire or seek to prioritize if you were to have your work translated into another language? Say...

    Question about Goats and Religion.

    *shrug* People are people. It's a different genre, but I imagine it's fueled by the same sort of emotions that saw all the sort of devil imagery used in rock & metal music.

    Question about Goats and Religion.

    I'd probably put myself closest to being Buddhist, though barely even that so none of this bugs me.

    Question about Goats and Religion.

    Oh! Was that Demondice doing the theme song? I love her work. Looking at the video I think she's supposed to be Bacchus. At least that name flashes across the screen for a brief moment and it'd fit the whole drinking thing. Still, eh, goat horns, goat ears, the color scheme, evidently having...

    Question about Goats and Religion.

    No...? You just never said what the name of the game was in your post and I can't really give input if I don't know the context. Is this the game?

    What's the game?

    Your Most Hated Tropes

    Humans as a species naturally look for patterns in things. Know the sort of patterns the audience is familiar with because of what they've read in the past and you can make use of that knowledge. Maybe that's as simple as calling a race in your story "Orcs" so that you don't have to spend the...

    Your Most Hated Tropes

    Tolkien was supposedly quite fond of monarchy, or rather, he didn't trust anyone that went about seeking power for themselves and kings were good because they didn't have a choice in the matter. Of course that's overlooking the sort of problems that can come about by someone that comes to expect...

    Your Most Hated Tropes

    Let's not start digging too deep into that and just content ourselves with the fact that pmmg isn't making it out of the Mythic Scribes Hunger Games.

    Elf and Asia culture

    Wasn't there another thread about this? I could've sworn I replied to something much like this. Well, loosely speaking, I reckon a lot of stereotypical views of Asian countries here in the West match up with a lot of the classic traits associated with Elves in fiction; grace, dignity, etc. Plus...

    If you could become a pokemon (like protagonist in Pokemon Mystery dungeon)...

    Hrm. Actually I think I want to change my answer to Haunter. (Not Gengar.)
