Comment For the most part, I agree (Score 1) 150

1) Don't spend too much time on development.
I'll agree AND disagree. Mostly because I'd like to not have to play some recycled piece of shit every 2 years. If there's enough re-playability in the game, then yeah, shoot for 5+ years, nothing wrong with that. BUT, because this is business we're talking about, we all know that shit ain't gonna happen...for the most part.

2) Change your engine every so often, and if you can, use one that you've developed yourself.
Agreed.

3) Try to keep the [dev] team the same, especially if the original was good.
Also agreed.

4) Don't get rid of the parts of the original that people loved.
This should go without saying, but it needs to be said, sadly.

5) Don't try to evolve too much and forget what made the original great.
Addendum to #4

6) Improve everything, because one bad aspect can bring the whole game crashing down.
I can only conclude that "improve" means "don't change it, only make it better." Unfortunately, this gets lost in translation at times.

Comment Re:Heinlein too? (Score 3, Informative) 641

Actually, the GP is correct. It was something I was going to make a comment on.

In "Time Enough for Love", Heinlein's main character, Lazarus Long, diligently details the implications of twins' bedroom antics, and the potential for corrupted progeny. The suspect twins are being sold as sexual slaves and promoted as "pure" so that they are to bear children with no defects, thereby making them prime retail cattle. He buys them so as to free them from this life for which they were essentially created.

Not only that, but LL replicated himself in the form of two young girls (identical twins), and, at a point, consummates his fatherly/masturbatory/brotherly relationship with the both of them...frequently. None of this is in explicit detail, of course, but it is definitely mentioned so that there is no question of the act occurring.
