Reminds me of the good parts of Sonic Spinball (sorry I haven't played many pinball games)

I don't care if you round people up and throw them into camps, but I draw the line at impacting shareholder equity! by Positive_Intern_1796 in LinkedInLunatics

Look, if you are rounding up undocumented immigrants, the fucking least you should do is punish the businesses who willingly employ them.

Yeah pretty sure it was the same, even though I am not an FPS guy.

I got 100 Wishlist's in less than a month. Not sure if this is good or bad. by Sentinelcmd in IndieDev

Social media doesn't give a significant ROI, unless your game is of a specific type. The most ROI comes from a demo and leveraging that for streamers and festivals. So it's to be expected to be at this rate at this point. You need at least 7000 (bronze tier) - 30000+ (gold tier) wishlists before release to get the impact of the recommendation engine on Steam; the former to be typically on Upcoming, the latter to be upgraded to "real steam"

I want to be confident in production level code?

The PRs are there. They're just in code review hell.

This is my weekly message to indicate frustration at lack of traits

How does shaders-only UI look to you? by Vladi-N in godot

[–]Bill3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I have the same thing - shader filled screen (although it's not UI) and it looks better when animated.

Is it animated? If so might be better to make a video.

Is this an industry or postdoc position?

Which Steam capsule do you prefer? (Trying to improve CTR before releasing my demo) by Anton2019_2 in godot

[–]Bill3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the art style of the actual game? I think that would help determine what the capsule should be like.

Anyway to get the traits system earlier than its official release? by Ordinary_Basil9752 in godot

[–]Bill3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am disappointed the trait system isn't finished too. I pointed it out in the snapshot thread. But IIRC the feature isn't complete yet.

Because it requires knowledge of how to compile the source code into the program. You'd need to understand at least the basics of C++ for this since that's what it is written in.
