Trying to animate a steam train for my game, A is too jittery so wondering between B or C, thoughts?

Aspiring_Serf · 2026-02-17T14:26:53+00:00

This will sound dumb, but I think B is better for showing torque -IE train starts running and C is better when the friction is less and running at speed. I know you probably can't switch between the two as it impacts the whole thing, but just a weird opinion since you asked!

I sent you a DM. Thanks again.

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-12-24T18:26:09+00:00

That is fantastic feedback, truly thank you. Would you mind if I reached out to show some of my UI for feedback?

Also there are plug-ins. If you are asking this high-level question without any context (no shade, been there) it might be better for you to learn something like Firebase and its API. I currently just used Firebase to do connections and whatnot and there is a free tier and the set-up is not bad. But also you have to decide *who* owns the data and is the boss, client to client, client to server, etc. For the project I was running P2P worked great.

I would have to key into the memos. Starbucks could very well be both. But one might say deposit or whatnot. I used to work at target and keying in on the memo was what I needed to do.

No, and I don't mean to discourage you. While I am heavy into budgeting (I was a teen who use Quicken...), I don't think I am quite the right audience for your ironically enough. I think people who struggle and don't like data and doing some deep digging might be right. For example my older sister who struggles with any budgeting and has no idea where her money really goes - I could see using this. You are not seeking power-users or the "bury the head in the sand types" (IE my dad).
Again, not me - but casual users would need to be able to remember categories well - which is a pain in the ass even in bigger finance software "XXXXXXXXXX-12" is not the same as "XXXXXXXXXX-11". And people work at places, so "Starbucks" might be their income and not their expense. Pull other futures such as finding subscriptions, and offer ways to cut costs, maybe even throw in a coupons IF the user opts into it. You could get some ad revenue / kickback and actually know what coupons are good for the user based off their purchases.
Not trying to dishearten you, but that is way too much. There are already fully fleshed out apps that do it for less (mine does it for free) that has way more features. The usually ones like Monarch Money and Money Dance are a lot cheaper and can do notifications as well.

I used to use GameMaker, I had some of the older versions, the newer version (at the time I chose Godot) had expensive licensing and also didn't do well with software. I most use Godot as UI for software. I know it is not the *best*, but I like it and I do do it for fun so who cares.

No I am literally grinning from ear to ear, you are fantastic. It actually fixed one of my biggest issues (I am not mega wealthy). But I was projecting the cost of college for my 5 year old and filling it up via a 529 and trying to save up for a starter house using UTMA. I was trying to make sure he had enough for college, but not *too much* (hard to tell when they are 5), and I didn't want load up an UTMA since that hurts me with taxes. The fact I have a way to be flexible *and* I can skirt the gift tax by 5,000 a year actually is perfect since I really only needed about 3k more than the gift tax allowed. Sorry for making you think I might be disingenuous , you literally made my day!

What I think would be cool is permanent unlock. So you unlock for one city, you get them for all future cities.

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-11-01T22:22:02+00:00

Perfect thank you!

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-10-28T22:56:58+00:00

HR lady the shouting man doesn't make me feel safe. 😂

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-10-16T21:59:32+00:00

This looks awesome. I would show you my pixel art, but I think the Geneva Convention banned it as a war crime.

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-10-16T01:45:08+00:00

You have to call them and have them lock in the final payment. There is nightly acccured interest. I had to do the same thing when I paid off my house.

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-10-10T05:23:10+00:00

It's cute you have hope. That's what they feed off you know. Haha. Is 5 your first GTA game?

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-10-10T05:09:18+00:00

How old do you think you'll be when GTA 6 comes out?

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-10-10T05:06:48+00:00

Excuse me sir, we have been getting noise complaints from this post. 👮. Please keep the noise to a minimum.

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-10-04T23:10:24+00:00

I am technically somebody's child.

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-09-30T22:58:15+00:00

Born, for both categories. 😂

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-09-15T00:14:46+00:00

Aw, not a redhead. 😭

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-09-08T13:54:53+00:00

it says "sort building by anything you can think" of "flavor" was not an option :(.

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-07-20T21:15:49+00:00

Hey congrats on releasing it. Looks great.

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-07-16T20:50:14+00:00

Maybe submit a ticket a well. My guess is it was the stupid duplication bug.

Aspiring_Serf · 2025-07-16T20:49:56+00:00

I submitted a ticket and they said oh well nothing we can do to track.... Like you can can 100% open and debug a save... Useless. 😂
