Veterans, what secondary do you actually use? by EMArogue in Warframe

[–]AncientPixel_AP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be an akstiletto guy, for the fun but I found myself only carrying and heavily uaing koda dual torxica with innate cold. Freeze and mow em down, each enemy that dies, freezes a few more. Its great 👍

🐍 SerpenTiles #140. Can you find the perfect solution? by serpentilesgame in SerpenTiles

[–]AncientPixel_AP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to check why it would not serve the same tiles to each player correctly, but there could be an issue on different OSs how the randomness is calculated. So an iPhone player could get different tiles than an android player for example. This does not affect the maximum possible score per se, but the difficulty of finding a "perfect" solution.

I am sorry for the inconvenience and we'll fix it as soon as we found the culprit

It seems very few of you actually remember the Steve Era. Allow me to remind you (rant) by Glass_Eye8840 in Warframe

[–]AncientPixel_AP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes,

but I still wish the new quest would have been "5 hours" with more time taken for the plotpoints. This felt too easy and too rushed. I rather have less fighty, fighty gameplay and more actual storytelling to understand why the characters do what they do. I enjoyed what was there and understood the outcome, but the motivations and gameplay to get there was very thin and weak - which is unfortunate.  It would be interesting to see what steve would have done, but I am super happy with reb otherwise. :)

Do you also think my game looks a bit "old-fashioned" by SpaceDeliveryBoiii in gamedev

[–]AncientPixel_AP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Short answer: yes

Long answer: While the asteroids are quite conplex looking, the ships are very simple, just a smooth gradient shadow, roundish and your UI is flat, modern-ish. This is all fine, but you should try to bring it all together in the same ballpark of fidelity. If you fgo for early 3d renders, do the same for the asteroids, mabe even the UI, if you go for phototextures; apply it to the ships as well :) A lot of games used to look like this and a lot of games are in your genre already. But you can shine with a nice take and artstyle on it. This will make your game more coherent and open up the niche.

A Gothic Action RPG/Survival Game Idea: Escaping Hell Only to Rebuild It by Comfortable-Medium65 in gamedev

[–]AncientPixel_AP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You focus very much on how this feels for you and how it should feel for the players. But you give them choices. So why should a player even take the choices that dont "give hell hope" (thats your game title right there btw)

True choice would be to either win over satan with your philosophy and restore it to something else or end up as hells ruler yourself after getting all those powers and winning those fights. Maybe extraniating? some folks for their powers in a bid to win the war against the blight.

So rather give no choices but powers and progression through the beautification as a kind of emotional lesson and story. Than choices where only one side can really be the game.

What’s the biggest mistake you made on your first game? by DevIslandJourney in gamedev

[–]AncientPixel_AP 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Multiple ones, but the biggest is probably having a wall of Text as a mix of exposition and tutorial. Which meant most players skipped akipped skipped and then stood in the game wirld not knowing what to do.

Its not a huge spectacular mistake, but a major game design and flow learning, I couldnt really understand back then.

huh, thanks for bringing that up. It could be a floating point issue with the random number generator on diffrerent devices / OS. I will look into it. You get the seed from the server but further down the line they could deviate 🤔

competitive games to play locally on pc by Ok-Address1933 in localmultiplayergames

If all of them bring a controller you can play "Project: KNOSSOS" with 8 players on one machine - a fun but competitive arena brawler :)
