    277800 Usernameu Concept don't they meet the [Interactive Environments] criteria? 03/11/24 02:33AM 4 done
    277798 Usernameu Concept though its environments are less interactive than Red Dead Redemption 2's, but still shall be able to qualify ''Interactive Environments'' ''The game’s natural environment is highly interactive, with players able to hunt animals, fish in rivers and lakes, and interact with various plant species. The day-night cycle and weather system also significantly impact the gameplay, as visibility, mobility, and the behavior of non-playable characters (NPCs) change based on the time of day and weather conditions. Human settlements in Red Dead Redemption are equally interactive, with players able to enter buildings, interact with objects, and engage in conversations with NPCs. Players can also use stagecoaches and trains to travel between settlements, adding another layer of interactivity to the game’s environment. Activities and Mini-Games Red Dead Redemption features a variety of activities and mini-games that further enhance the game’s interactivity. These include gambling games like poker and blackjack, hunting challenges, horse races, and duels. The game also features a robust honor system, which changes based on the player’s actions and decisions, adding another layer of depth to the game’s interactive environment. Dynamic Events The game’s environment also features dynamic events, such as random encounters with NPCs or animals. These events can lead to various outcomes based on the player’s choices and actions. For example, helping a stranger might result in a reward, while choosing to ignore them could lead to negative consequences.'' 03/11/24 02:00AM 2 done

    276944 Usernameu Concept ''pick up and examine objects, and use various skills and abilities to manipulate the environment. For example, players can use their thieving skills to pick locks, their magical abilities to light torches, or their strength to move heavy objects. Baldur’s Gate 3 features a physics-based environment, allowing players to use their surroundings to their advantage. Players can use objects to create barriers or distractions, or even use them as weapons. The game also includes a destructible environment, allowing players to blow up walls or knock down doors to gain access to new areas.'' 02/26/24 04:47PM 2 done

    276923 Usernameu Concept ''Players can interact with various elements in the environment, such as barrels, crates, and other objects, to solve puzzles, create traps, or gain advantages in combat scenarios. The game encourages experimentation and creative thinking by allowing players to manipulate the environment to their advantage. One of the key aspects of the interactive environments in Divinity: Original Sin 1 is the elemental interactions. Players can use elemental spells and abilities to interact with different surfaces in the environment, creating effects like fire, ice, poison, and more. These interactions not only add depth to combat but also provide opportunities for strategic planning and environmental manipulation. Furthermore, the game’s environmental interactivity extends beyond combat situations. Players can use objects in the environment to uncover secrets, unlock hidden passages, or solve environmental puzzles.'' 02/26/24 01:31PM 2 done

    264925 Usernameu Concept https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDvSK3wbLkc https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Destruction#Battlefield_Hardline ''Levolution returns in Battlefield Hardline, with operable doors introduced. With a greatly expanded range of melee weapons, tools such as breaching hammers can be used to destroy walls or knock down doors.'' 07/21/23 05:55PM 2 done
    264924 Usernameu Concept https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Destruction#Battlefield:_Bad_Company Destruction 1.0 debuted with Battlefield: Bad Company utilizing Frostbite 1.0. With it, segments of buildings could be obliterated, parts of vehicle body-work could be chipped away, trees could be felled, and the ground could be reshaped by explosions. The Destruction 1.0 mechanic introduced selective destruction, where only certain weapons or objects could cause damage - for instance, a Cobra 4WD couldn't run over a tree, whereas a Black Eagle battle tank could. This limited the amount of destruction that could be caused by certain players in certain scenarios. By creating the Destruction 1.0 mechanic fully with the Frostbite Engine in mind, the DICE developers were able to combine Destruction 1.0, the dynamic lighting and sound mechanics to create a "sandbox world", where the destruction caused by the players would cause the lighting and sound to change with the removal of walls, fences and trees. https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Destruction#Battlefield_3 https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Destruction#Battlefield_3 07/21/23 05:49PM 4 done

    179065 Schizotypy Game Note: Even though Total Rendition and Rendition: Guantanomo are both made in Scotland and have "Rendition" in the title, the similarities are mostly in the negative media coverage and the ensuing controversy, as well as the politically sensitive subject matter. The projects themselves aren't related nor is currently any former staff of Rendition: Guantanomo involved. 10/01/21 12:59PM 48 done

    138550 franzlska Game Added sidebar details to best of my ability. While many themes and styles are present in Worlds, I stuck with "sci-fi" as the theme, as the overall presentation of the game is that each area a user visits is a unique planet, or "world". Locations, concepts, and objects were determined to the best of my ability judging by what is featured prominently in the officially hosted worlds. Also removed previous edit by user "uptocoupons2", as their only addition to the page was a seemingly unrelated and dubiously safe link to a random website, with no other details or context given. Hopefully I'll have the time to add a proper description to the page some time this week. 11/08/20 09:14PM 99 done
