Ask a Wombat! 077

Bemused asks about Fi da Booty Samurai. . .

Sadly, I have been avoiding steam forums, after having been banned there once. (I was later unbanned and even got congratulations from steam moderators for some of the posts which I had been banned for… but I am not eager to repeat the experience. (And there are too many personalities involved for me to know how to make sense of such issues.))

But I have reviewed your instructions, and I can confirm that when I select Save from the File dropdown of the resource.assets window of uabae, I have never been prompted for a file location. So I have never seen anything which corresponds to this image: https://wombattrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/explorer_GEnuswIAPAC.jpg Possibly this would have been a consequence of myself not having done the work you have done in modding the game?

Meanwhile, the game has advanced to version 0.86. I have not yet attempted to install your mod against that version. (I am tempted to try updating uabea to be robust against version changes of this sort.

Commonly Asked Questions​

How are games scored?

I rate software using up to five guidelines; “gameplay”, “sexual content”, “story”, “sound” and “visuals”. Each of these guidelines are divided into smaller sub-guidelines, which differ between genre and availability.

For example, I typically have more to say about “story” when I’m analyzing a visual novel than I do when writing about puzzle game.

I rate each category on a scale of “one” to “five”; a “one” is really bad, a “two” is “meh”, a “three” is average, a “four” is good, and a “five” is exceptional. The final score (or “verdict”) is an average of all guidelines.

Why is this game rated "X" but not this one?

Scores mean different things for different genres.

I don’t consider a “5/5” puzzle game to be a better game than say, a first-person shooter. In my opinion, it’s unfair to rate all software equally. What makes a puzzle game fun won’t apply to any other genre. 

In an effort to maintain an objective stance when I publish ratings, I only compare like-games when I deliberate scores.

I wouldn’t rate an RPG poorly because a visual novel I played doesn’t feature “grinding”.

Will you review "X"?

If you’re a developer on Steam, send your game to the Wombat Trap Curator.

Otherwise, use the following contact form to get in touch or send suggestions. I’ll get to them when I get to them.
