# Talk:Façade (video game)

The article notes that the sentence 'I think you are a talented artist, Grace. However isn't your marriage more important?' will be interpreted successfully by the engine.  This may be true, however, Facade will not accept a sentence that long; it's restricted at some amount, 25 or so characters. -Trevor Bekolay 22:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Actually, depending on the conversational thread you're on, you'll probably have to deal with trip yelling "ARE YOU SAYING I DON'T LOVE GRACE?!"204.112.163.162 20:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:Facadecurtain.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This article clearly needs more pictures or atleast a picture of the title screen. Maybe some screenshots would be nice. I would do it but; I'm not registered, I'm not planning to register, and requesting an image is too much of a hassle. Thanks in advance.--67.171.66.108 (talk) 02:49, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

The ‘platforms’ section lists macOS, can anyone verify that Façade was released for macOS? I could only find information related to official PC releases, so it appears to me that any macOS versions are unofficial ports of the game. 76.146.178.245 (talk) 23:59, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, reviewing this article. I do reviews as a series of bullet points as I read through the article.

The lede is far too short. It does not summarize the gameplay or plot sections at all, and only barely glances on the development section. I would expect an article of this size to have a lede of 2 big or 3 short paragraphs. Y Lead is much better now and covers all the key aspects of the article.

The sentences at the end of gameplay paragraph 1 should mention that you talk to them, right now it just says you can move around and behave in any way they wish, but lacks the context that the primary mode of interaction with the game is conversing. Actually, it's not explicit that you can interact with object either, I didn't realize that until the plot section. And that section says there's "options to comfort, hug, or kiss the characters", but I thought it was all freeform text? It's just not clear to a non-player how one interacts with the game. Y The interim edits made this more confusing. I've made the Gameplay section much clearer, and noted what the other interactions are and how they occur.
" described as 'a behavior language' to" - in gameplay you had this capitalized, which seems to be the way it is in sources; it is awkward, but it should be consistent one way or another Y Made it consistent with the sources.
"listing six aspects he found impressive:" - you list either 4 or 5 depending on if "the natural language processing and generation" is 1 or 2, but either way it's not 6 Y My bad. It's definitely five and is said so in the body of the source.
Was it a finalist only for the IGF Seumas McNally Grand Prize or for others too? The IGF has a bunch of categories, so you should be clear Y Just the Grand Prize. The confusion comes from 2004 Prize being called the 'Open category' due to some quirks in the competition in the 00s. Bringing this to attention also raises that someone put the accolades in without sourcing them, so I am adding citations too. 
It's implied, but it might be worthwhile to explicitly state that the game did not get contemporary attention from the mainstream gaming press   I'm cautious about this as it's an editorial reflection. Independent or experimental games in the 2000s did not get significant recognition in games magazines in the same way we may take for granted today. As the Rock Paper Shotgun source says, the game was unusually well covered for an experimental, non-commercial independent title.
Refs are inconsistent on if you're wikilinking sources or not Y Removed the one Macworld wikilink - someone was clearly a bit enthusiastic.
Refs are inconsistent on if it's American Association for Artificial Intelligence or AAAI Y This isn't such a big issue when the references are inconsistently self-publishing with the acronym, but I've standardised it to the fully spelled form.
You give an ISSN for one cite to the Atlantic, but not any others or any other magazines Y Not sure who went to that effort, but removed as it's not necessary and would be a pain to find and standardise for every source.
There are several duplicated refs: 2 and 14, 4 and 22 (with different formatting), 7 and 9, 12 and 26, 17 and 19 Y I have no idea why a subsequent editor added duplicates in the way that they did, but they've been fixed.
Ref 15 should be GamesRadar, not gamesradar, and consider formatting the author's name as Tyler Nagata rather than the "GamesRadarTylerNagata" handle Y Someone was quite lazy, as that is in fact the 'author' tag on the article. Good find.
Didn't find any sourcing problems Y Great!
That's it; the lede is the biggest problem. --PresN 21:55, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Cheers, will have a crack at actioning feedback shortly. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 22:12, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for your throughts. I've actioned the above - I think there's a few edits that could be made to improve the article, but it's looking better already. Happy to follow up on any further feedback. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 04:37, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Alright, promoting to GA! --PresN 12:57, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
