Disco Elysium splinter studio's Red Rooster is going to be a 'an incendiary, physics-driven RPG' where you play an inmate, an opiate-fuelled mathematician, and a bus driver with nunchucks

Red Rooster, a splinter studio, is developing a physics-driven RPG called Disco Elysium: Splinter Studio. Players will assume the roles of an inmate, an opiate-dependent mathematician, Dr. Astrid Albers, and a nunchaku-wielding bus driver, Rico. The game is set in the city of Arta-Tantor, which represents the future rather than the end of history.

The developers have drawn inspiration from Larian's Divinity Engine games and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. The tone and theme of the game emphasize optimism, with a protagonist who has a dark set of alter-egos in a psychological "chicken coop" and a record-breaking hot summer. The game's artwork reflects the theme of psychedelic revolution, with a focus on 3D physics and a lively setting.

If you build production or MES/ERP software for food manufacturers, here is a failure mode worth designing out: the next product's production order can start on a line while the previous product is still, in practice, on it.

  • Model each production line with a state machine to prevent overlapping orders.
  • States include RUNNING, CLOSEDOUT, CLEANED, and CLEARED to ensure proper line clearance.
