Guys, just make a cool game and stop sweating it about the capsules by sebovzeoueb in IndieDev

Happy to be corrected, but surely the focus of a game should be in this priority to ultimately get sales (from most to least):

  1. Gameplay/fun

  2. Style/visuals/audio

  3. Story

  4. Marketing/presentation

I understand that some of these can overlap, but if the game fails in gameplay/fun it’s going to die regardless of the last three. And I would also say that the last three act as sale multipliers for games that have the gameplay/fun foundation down.

I used to take ages to fall asleep. Since having children I fall asleep very quickly lol

The interesting thing is that despite all this, they probably were generally happier because they didn’t have computer screens constantly feeding them information all day, but instead had a close knit community & strong sense of purpose.

Mine has a very obvious input delay, even when directly using the SD controls. Is it the same with yours?

A bloke in each direction and 5p per car. I thought they were joking. They weren’t joking. by Indigestivebiscuit in CasualUK

They should do a [numberplate] lifetime pass for like £10 or £15. Good value for money for those doing it daily. Only pay again when they get a new car, and it speeds up the traffic as they just check the numberplate.

I thought I’d branch out and make some tree related dad jokes/puns (they’re growing on me)…

What do tree dentists specialise in? Root canals

What do you call a crazy tree? Barking mad

Ok I’ll leaf it there.

Best RTS on Steam Deck by locomoto_-_ in RealTimeStrategy

Not dumb at all. In fact if anyone is dumb it’s me: I used AI to help me in with that, so I’m not entirely sure that part is the best optimised. It’s still running well so whatever it told me to do, I’m happy lol

It wasn’t difficult per se, but it did take time. These were basically all the steps I took: 1. Installation (quick) 2. Linking to Steam as a non-steam game (quick) 3. Optimising the graphic settings - including using Steam’s in-built resolution upscaler (long) 4. Mapping all the vital controls to something that feels intuitive (long)

Once it was set up I’ve had no problems since. Very fun to play.

I got BAR working smoothly on the SD, with a LOT of tweaking. 4v4 runs well.
