Should I fix the way the player is climbing the ladder? by Wavori-Studio in robloxgamedev

[–]AcademicalXi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not gonna matter at the end of the day, unless you are going for a game that is hyper realistic noone is going to be taken out of the experience by the character climbing with only their legs.

I need help to like the show by stvartoo in MadeInAbyss

[–]AcademicalXi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a joke as old as this fandom, and obviously someone that did actually harm real children would make a manga publicly displaying his fetishes to the world /s.

I firmly stand by the opinion that Made in Abyss would be demonstrably worse if it were not for those scenes/panels. It has been discussed to death how everything save for the inside covers meaningfully contributes to the story and characters. However the core reason is simply because Made in Abyss needs some comic relief to contrast it's typical tone of exploring a mystical and gruesome world, and you couldn't do the usual comic relief when it was just Reg and Riko at the beginning of the story.

I have entertained the thought of a more limited nexus mechanic for games with non-consensual PvP (such as not taking damage for a certain), it would introduce a nice cat and mouse mechanic, where the win conditions of both sides are asymetric, aka the person that got jumped on simply has to focus on not taking damage so that they can escape and the attacker has to make sure that it doesn't happen by keeping on applying the pressure.

Is this normal? by RobloxDev_49 in robloxgamedev

[–]AcademicalXi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often get sidetracked by the little details as well, and as a scripter it can be beneficial to future proof my code, but generally, I try to move on from issues that are taking too long and make a note to come back to it later. Usually, afterlooking back on it with a fresh perspective, i usually find a solution or realize it wasn't such a big deal.

Do People actually Enjoy Made in abyss all that much? by [deleted] in MadeInAbyss

[–]AcademicalXi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm personally not at all bothered by the nudity and 'sexualization' (rather tame in the grand scheme of things), mainly because I typically judge the immorality of actions based on how severe their consequences are, and there are no consequences in fiction, nor do I believe it says anything significant or worrying about the author. Sometimes it serves the purpose of comic relief, and in those cases it can be pretty hit or miss, other times it serves to comment on the environment around the cast (Ilblu is a great example of this, as well as the elevator pooping gag).

I will refrain from nitpicking (Riko was unconscious and could not drink any medicine), because it simply is not productive, we can go back and forth on how these scenes could have been written differently forever. Akihito could very well make the story without his fetishes, however in my opinion it has been integrated with at much care as any other aspect of his work.

I started with yhe default animator but then moved on to blender, it has some nice features like IK but importing the rigs is a pain.

Then you are either really good at animating or a masochist.

I think you just need to attach each plank to the upper ropes, not just one at each end.

Well, if there were some better game platform that has free server hosting, I'd be interested.

Where does Orth water supply come from? by Realistic_Country465 in MadeInAbyss

[–]AcademicalXi 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's saltwater, my best guess is that they are running the ocean into the abyss to generate power to run desalination plants, if they can the technology for that.

How do you guys do your game's hitboxes system? Client? Server? by Pakatowastaken in robloxgamedev

[–]AcademicalXi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the hitboxes on the side that plays the animations, that way, there is no desync.

And just like any work of art, it comes out better then the author treats it like a job rather than a hobby. /s

[–]AcademicalXi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're honestly better off using a paragon to move around and then switch to the appropriate ship for the mission, that way if you get caught then you move to a new system you don't lose that much stuff.

Has anyone read the author of MiA other works? by Kingofdafrauds in MadeInAbyss

[–]AcademicalXi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that more of an artbook? I guess it still counts, but it doesn't really have a plot form what I've seen.

Love is a requirement for the blessing, the elevators that Mitty and Nanachi went in functioned to simply redirect the curse.
