  • The only "open world" game that's been a linear story survival sandbox that I've seen do it well is Raft. And that only works because of the medium of it being an open sea where the players can wander, then move through the story at their leisure.

  • I think there is a little more nuance to it than that. I don't think anybody legitimately believes he did it and simultaneously didn't do it.

    There's basically a slider of dialogue ranging from "he ought to have a fair trial" to "he didn't do it" to "if he did it, I'm glad he did" to "we need more Luigis"

    People are generally pushing that slider as far as they socially acceptably can for the given circumstance they're in. You're not gonna say the latter things in public or with your name attached out of fear of reproductions.

    So what you get is a mixed bag of feelings, which are almost all pro-Luigi even if they're different forms of it.

  • you need a highly accurate model of what broke. Do you just take a bunch of measurements, then do your best to guess and check? Is there a process to this, or what does this look like?

    There's a couple different strategies. Taking measurements is often the most straightforward. And it's generally not too bad because often times the thing you measure will be in round units, so you can confidently guess the true measurement intended.

    For example, if I measure the diameter of a shaft that broke off, and it's 10.1mm, then I can pretty confidently say I should make the CAD model 10mm.

    An alternative method is to take a picture of the object from multiple directions, zoomed in and far away to make the view as orthographic as possible. Include a known distance like a ruler, and then you can past the image in the background of your CAD software and model off of that. Generally I find this more helpful for organic shapes that wouldn't make much sense to measure.
