Oh Sir, like many indie titles before it, was born from a game jam, where developers come together, hang out, and code. When I played against Nick, I went for "Your mother" insults three times in a row, and it was that tactic that led to my victory. You can also build combos by using the same elements in succession. Each of the characters has its own weakness an old lady is particularly fragile when it comes to insults about age and death, while a sharp-looking gentleman is vulnerable to jokes about his sense of style. The game is styled with pixel art based on British gentry, and most of the insults you build are of a similar ilk. You continue along that path until one of you runs out of health, and the character concedes defeat. Once both are done, the game decides how good your insult is, and your opponent's life bar is reduced as a result. In the centre of the screen, you'll see a batch of words and short phrases, and each player takes turns to pick in order to build out an insult. The idea is simple: You and your opponent pick a character and a location, and then the game starts. It's a game that let us sling abuse at one another in a way that wouldn't involve a call to HR in the morning. It's been a stressful 100 hours or so, working together without a break, but we finally got to let off some steam today with Oh Sir. For us, though, it's day four of Nick Summers and I marching up and down a vast convention center, visiting developers to find out more about their games. Much of the blame for that crisis focused on the nepotism and corruption that became the hallmark of Suharto's later years in power and which saw family members and close associates amass fortunes and come to dominate Indonesia's economy.Officially, it's day two of Gamescom here in Cologne, Germany. Suharto, who ruled Indonesia with an iron fist for 32 years, was forced from office in 1998 as the world's fourth most populous nation descended into economic and social chaos. "The song was intended as my criticism of the ABRI of the past not the Indonesian National Military (TNI) of the present, let alone intended to insult the profession and institutional organisation of the TNI," Robet said in a televised statement on Thursday.Īmnesty said in a statement Robet's arrest was "not only a clear threat to the freedom of speech and expression in Indonesia, but also poses a threat for human rights activists in general". The plan "brought to mind the Indonesian Armed Forces (ABRI) dual function in New Order era", Amnesty said, referring to the military under Suharto rule.Ī video circulating online also showed Robet singing during his speech. Police arrested Robet based on a speech made during a rally last week in which he spoke against a plan by the government to allow senior military officers to hold civilian positions in government institutions, Amnesty said. Robertus Robet, a board member of Amnesty International Indonesia, was arrested late on Wednesday, the group said in a statement.Īsked about details of the arrest, police spokesman Dedi Prasetyo cited a law under which those who intentionally insult a public institution face jail of up to 18 months. JAKARTA: Indonesian police arrested an Amnesty activist for insulting the military, the group said on Thursday, after he compared a plan to allow senior officers to hold civilian positions to the days of autocratic leader Suharto.
