@StarshipAmelia Y'know, a lot of people generally talk about earning your victories in story structure and videogames, but this really is a beautiful case of a story where you earn your defeats.

@starkatt Yeah, totally. The first time I "beat" that mission I went back and cheated to destroy the carthage. The devs thought of that and *disable the cheats* and then move you infront of the jumping-in sathanas Mr Huggles. It's pretty great imo ^^

@starkatt Also, the mission after Delenda Est, Sunglare, is a great piece of storytelling imo.

@StarshipAmelia Agree. Cool use of stretching that particular medium (the FS2 engine) beyond what it's really intended for.

@starkatt Definitely! Iirc the blue planet devs made several additions (and for a while had their own branch) of the FSOpen engine! (Including the "Dating Simms" mission's "chose your own adventure" system shortly after Laporte transfers to the Indus)

@StarshipAmelia ahaha, I didn't catch that pun.
