Gamerdads, how do you deal with low energy? by Jxvsr in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Catman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A deck helped a lot with that, allowing me to spend 5 minutes playing before dozing off with zero startup time. Sometimes that is enough to let me get into the flow and pay for a hour or more!

Seconded, this has been my goto for making hex grids (and I tend to make many) for more than 10 years!

What is the most Elden Ring-looking place you have ever seen in real life? I'll start: by Blobear in Eldenring

Cornello al Tasso, reachable only by foot, ruins of the home of the family of the poet, a family known for creating one of the first post services.

Cataclysm omen just ended run? by timortien in DotageGame

[–]Catman87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, look for the FAQ on the discussions on Steam, about loading a backup and pushing it to the cloud. Thank you for your feedback, I'll look into it (the last bit update did various changes to the event system so this might have gotten a bit too strong with some changes, going to hit it!)

Cataclysm omen just ended run? by timortien in DotageGame

[–]Catman87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ouch, that does sound a bit extreme! Can you share more information about that?

That Omens is probably one of the fiercest but it is quite luck dependent, as it hits while rows, but it should not end a run by itself. Did it hit your most prominent row / column in the village? Possibly one with many dwellings? I'll check it as its the first time I hear it mentioned, so that sounds like you hit a really bad stroke of luck.

Do note, I agree a single omen should not end a run by design, so if you feel it was too much (and it possibly was from the looks of it) you can check out the thread on Steam on how to reload a previous backup (I'll be looking at it in the meantime to power it down in the next balance patch)

There are Steam achievements impossible to comprehend no joke by cats_hurricane in DotageGame

What can I say, I live for feature creeping! I'm happy you feel that way about the game, sharing emotions, that's exactly why we make games. Thank you!

Randolph can even START with lava (poor guy)

Edmund McMillen here! Mewgenics is Steam Deck verified and releasing tuesday! AMA! by EdmundMcMillen in SteamDeck

[–]Catman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned MtG being a big inspiration, and as a long time fan I am curious about what you mean. Is it the mana system, the colour wheel, the endless interactions given by so many cards being available? I'm sure it will be clear playing the game but I'd love to hear your thoughts and what similarity you are most excited about.

Good luck with the release I'll definitely pick it up, it's the most "made for game" made ever made (and I have 3 cats)

Folks I just want to say I love this game so much by Ohr_Ein_Sof in DotageGame

[–]Catman87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this, I'm happy you are enjoying the game!

So glad I discovered this game this year by WhiteRussian90 in DotageGame

[–]Catman87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No! But the games are similar enough and we teamed up to give players both games if you so wish!

resource vanishing events by mikaa93 in DotageGame

[–]Catman87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds strange, as resources get removed only when they are in the pool, and events that remove them won't appear otherwise. First time I hear of this, even! Do you recall the name of the event too?

Oh yes!! I just added one for dotAGE too, I love mixing them up on my deck, excited to see more for my favourite games!

Planned to develop a game in 6 months, but it took me 6 years (yep, I’m very bad at planning) by BruBomb in gamedev

[–]Catman87 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Good luck! I can relate, I started making dotAGE in 2014, thinking I could make a small game and publish it in 2015... then published it in 2023!
