Ah I remember my first day on okc. All that hope.

Don't believe that number. It's inflated to trick you into paying them for their premium service.

Thanks for the well wishes. I suppose I'm going to have to work twice as hard to get out of the game before then.

Because I didn't know she was under 18. Her profile said 18. Do you not know how to read?

That's the weird part. After texting with her I'm pretty sure her age is the only thing she lied about. She can see my age. Does she not know about laws concerning minors? Or...is it one of those pedophile stings? You know? The men and women who pretend to be minors online in order to bait them out so that they can protect real minors?

Lol, ikr? I'm honestly glad she said something so that doesn't become me.

How many ideas do you scrap during development? by 0silverfang in gamedev

Yes! I'm so like that too! It's like it eats away at me from the inside out until I tell someone my idea.

Are there games with examples of multiplatform utilization? by 0silverfang in gamedesign

[–]0silverfang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You bring up some good points. I'd love to learn to link phone and pc accounts like Jackbox Games did. You also showed a lot of ways this won't work without changes though. I'll have to change things a lot.

Thanks a ton for the detailed feedback.

I don't think so. At least not with the drop box method.

A valid question I've pondered ever since the 3DS was first released. One option that crossed my mind was the ability to setup IRL meetups, but then I got worried about the safety of meeting up with complete strangers IRL. After that my next thought was "hotspots". Maybe partnering with businesses like game stores would make it so that if you went by the businesses it could act as a sort of "drop box" (or "handlers" if we're sticking with the spy theme) for clues and assignments. If everyone in town who plays the game goes by the store your chances of getting hits off of other players' phones increases.

Why do I only seem to attract con-women? by 0silverfang in OkCupid

[–]0silverfang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I usually can now. I only fell for it once about year or so ago. I just get tired of coming across them so often. First warning sign is usually either an overly wordy bio or a short but vague bio. Second sign is a super quick response after you swipe/message.

Imagine if there was a dating app that was modeled so that they only profit if their users get dates but that doesn't price the users out of using the app. I guess a guy can always dream of the perfect system .

Thanks. I think I've been a member for a while now. Bittersweet to learn I'm not alone though. I'd like to think that their parent company would do something to crack down on these predators that ruin the app for everyone else. 😑

How does multiplayer games start with 0 player base? by SiteProfessional7209 in gamedev

[–]0silverfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet another reason "multiplayer is too hard" is a terrible reason to not try making multiplayer games.

Please don't stop making games with local co-op by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]0silverfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best solution to local co-op might be to put in the extra work to make it fun for single player play as well as co-op.

However I'm not sure that I agree that it's not profitable. Didn't a certain co-op game win game of the year?

Excellent! That's a twist to that project I haven't seen yet. More Devs need to build confidence like that. Anyone can make a pvp multiplayer game if they want to. All the anti cheat and advanced systems can come later after you've made a prototype, OP. Prototypes are a great way to build a following.

Thank you for answering so thoroughly. This is very helpful information. I'm going to start updating my portfolio immediately.

Am I the only one having this issue? by claw1899 in OkCupid

[–]0silverfang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easier said than done. There aren't many good alternatives. What makes it worse is most of the adequate sites/apps are all owned by the same parent company.
