welcome to game logic dude
Things was magic until you turned it into science
Not Magic, game mechanics.
The practical difference being….?
Mana costs, or if counterspells do anything.
So… in this world you don’t perform experiments to find out how physics works, but to encourage the gods to make them work the way you expect?
Yeah… I bet that’s how some people think science works in our world as well.
I hate the fact that you are probably right.
So… the goddess of creation is learning physics from Callum and implementing it into the world? 0_0 That … that is ….
Groovy.
Moving on.
Actually a weird powerset. Can pull hundreds of people from our world into their worlds, but can’t grab a textbook or twelve on the way. (Or bring along a game with a more realistic physics engine.)
The games were originally MMORPGs, and let me tell you, trying to keep a realistic physics simulation accurately synced up across multiple clients, all with differently fluctuating latencies, would require beyond god-tier netcode if you wanted anything even close to resembling a smooth and playable result.
Also remember that everyone pulled into the game worlds were using full VR neural interfaces nad as far as we know, their bodies are still in the real world somewhere and they weren’t physically pulled in. They only had access to the games/worlds running on the servers, presumably all of which are running the same base game engine.
I don’t think she’s learning them, just implementing them on a system that previously ran on game mechanics with just enough physics to fool the players.
woah. no pressure ?
Yes pressure. Steam pressure!
(…I’ll see myself out.)
Explain sorcery…
“You know those ‘Laws of Physics’ ?”
Yes…
*shrugs* “Fuckem…that’s sorcery”
