Single Best Tweak

❦ First Published on

A place to list single best tweaks that’d make something much better, greatly improve it.

This will often be about a video games, a primary topic formed by HyperTextHero’s brain and fingers clacking at keys on the keyboard, but other things can and will appear, from music to visual design. Here we go:

Let me start in my ship by default in Star Citizen, by everything that’s decent in the universe.

GTA-style third person view controls for any game that supports 3rd person views, like Elite and Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Have more PvE content, and non-repeating sounds of airplane wheels rolling on the ground in War Thunder.

A redesign of the unsightly cover of Jesse Schell’s excellent book The Art of Game Design: A Deck of Lenses to make it more likely to be displayed prominently.

The same tweak type for two space games, Delta V: Rings of Saturn and No Man’s Sky: Better sounds when firing mass drivers and microwave beams in the former, and the scanner in the latter, with less treble and more bass. A sound heard often needs to be particularly pleasant so we don’t tire of it.
