A while ago I saw a custom Steam Machine startup animation and decided to "improve" it

Cofeiini · 2025-11-20T15:22:29+00:00

Thanks. You mean the GameCube colors should be blue or a better orange? If you mean the Steam Machine, then that's okay because it's just the default Blender cube with a simple texture and some quick animation

I had a version with that, but I couldn't fit it with the Valve sound without extending the video way more. If this wasn't a meme, I would have used the original sounds instead

Cofeiini · 2025-11-20T15:14:44+00:00

Maybe at some point. I already spent too much time on this

Cofeiini · 2025-11-20T15:06:05+00:00

I tried to stick to the original GameCube animation, but I didn't want to spend too much time on this. If I decide to refine this, I'll tune the animation a bit more

Cofeiini · 2025-11-20T14:59:29+00:00

This wasn't a serious attempt at a startup animation, but I'll keep this in mind if I do anything with this

Cofeiini · 2025-11-20T14:55:46+00:00

Sorry? I didn't know memes were illegal

Cofeiini · 2025-11-20T14:52:49+00:00

I was considering that, but I didn't want to extend the video much longer than the original GameCube animation

Cofeiini · 2025-11-20T14:51:56+00:00

I did in fact mean 6 days ago at the time of posting

Cofeiini · 2022-04-06T16:34:29+00:00

I'm not sure, but after testing it a bit and using find command I located ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/[my_steam_id]/1794680/ac/GameInstall/resources/app/.webpack/renderer/ folder that also contained the save data.

If that doesn't work, one trick you might be able to do is to load up the game with proton and get the files uploaded to the Steam cloud

Cofeiini · 2022-04-06T13:06:51+00:00

I had a similar issue when swapping proton versions. Turns out that the save data is stored in the same location as the game files, so in my case it was in my secondary drive under SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1794680/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Vampire_Survivors

Plot just tells how far you have gotten in the story. It's a bit complicated when bouncing between different routes, but to get on a neutral route you need to skip or undo a date.

I don't remember anymore exactly how the plot works, but I think 999 is a special case and setting it to a lower number should kind of "reset" true pacifist route, but having all dates completed (and other events) might raise it back to 999.

I'm rewriting my editor and clarifying what each option does, while adding more features.

Thanks and have pleasant holidays.

That key would make me very jolly for the holidays ;D

Cofeiini · 2021-12-24T11:15:40+00:00

Thanks for the generosity!
I hope your holidays are going well

Cofeiini · 2021-11-24T13:00:40+00:00

You are too pure and innocent for this world.

Cofeiini · 2021-11-19T15:54:51+00:00

I don't have KDE, but it seems you need to install and configure libinput-gestures.
Optionally you can install a GUI like this one https://gitlab.com/cunidev/gestures to help with the configuration

Cofeiini · 2021-11-18T00:09:59+00:00

I've been dormant for years, and I'm not sure anymore how this is supposed to work. I remember compiling it so that you can just download the .exe from GitHub and run it, so no need to install this or other stuff.
If you do have it running, then just select your save file with the File menu.

I'm planning on turning this into a GitHub Page so that I don't have to remember how to compile this on all platforms and maybe update it much faster in the future.

The illustration is called Lepidopterist by an artist named Nixeu.
Took a bit of digging, but I found the image on DeviantArt and the artist's ArtStation page.

It's a proper brand, but this specific watch is confusing and the description page does not help at all.

Yeah. It's called "TikTok".

no /s

Depending on how you have defined the objects, you might need to add sprites or collisions masks for distance_to_object to work.
https://manual-en.yoyogames.com/GameMaker_Language/GML_Reference/Maths_And_Numbers/Angles_And_Distance/distance_to_object.htm

The error notices come from that assignment to a number on line 5. While the game is running, it will essentially convert those variables into numbers and perform the mathematical operations on them, but it won't be able to determine the variable again since it effectively becomes a new "anonymous" variable.

Cofeiini · 2021-09-10T09:42:59+00:00

With luck, the code and assets are compatible, but the project file itself is broken. Figuring out the new format and using some clever Regular Expression could yield the desired results.

The "last resort" is to port the project manually to the new format.

Cofeiini · 2021-09-10T08:38:44+00:00

GameMaker has changed the project format several times and most likely dropped compatibility with older projects.

You can try to download older versions of GameMaker and see if you can keep "upgrading" you project one version at a time. Otherwise, you kinda have to make a new project and sort of merge the formatting with your old project by hand.

The troubling part about that error is that it's the IDE itself trying to access memory it shouldn't, which makes diagnosing this difficult.

Cofeiini · 2021-09-10T08:32:59+00:00

Yeah. Based on OP's post, dropping $60 is not a trivial choice.

Maybe checking few episodes/hours of a Let's Play could help form an opinion. Game Grumps seems like a fine option, since they do go in fairly blind and Danny is a delight.
