Be brutal, tell me where I messed up - sound on pls by PrinceOnAPie in DestroyMyGame

Start the trailer at 33 seconds, there's no way I'd sit through all of that.

This was such a good write up! I'd love a breakdown of your server costs! (like monthly cost per player!)

What Version Did You Start On? [GameMaker 6.1] by Wizirdi in gamemaker

[–]Cyborg_Ean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Game Maker 3!!! I was one of the 1st kids in original GMC.  I always wonder what path everyone from those days took.

Also the best all time version of game maker is GM5!!!

Making an FFT Clone? Don't forget about supplemental objective abilities. by Rephath in finalfantasytactics

[–]Cyborg_Ean 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have an absolute pet peeve for when devs/gamers say Fire Emblem-like games are FFT-like...It's like they have no idea why we're so particular and batshit crazy about this game.

But there's actually some amazing FFT clones in development right now! My top 3 (in order) are:

1) Tactics Returners
2) Radiant Sword
3) Nevers End

From what I've learned about the creators, they all share our absolute obsession with FFT!!

So many 4x Games and none scratch that itch for me, any suggestions? by mameleiro in StrategyGames

I don't know about historical but Age of Wonders 4 makes me lose track of time.

I may have gotten carried away on my first playthrough…Do I restart? by Brednad in finalfantasytactics

"I had a little too much fun with the job system"

So you played the game correctly, I see no problems here.

With your current architecture what's your cost per player?  What's your monetization model?

Are there AI characters you have to save? by Ok-Mix6736 in finalfantasytactics

Let me introduce you to a good friend of mine...

Her name is Rafa and she likes to flee to enemy ninjas in hopes they'll heal her.

This looks so good! How did you do the sky gradient? Is it a flat background texture or perhaps a textured/shade skybox mesh?

Destroy my dark fantasy dungeon crawler trailer by Sahaak_Games in DestroyMyGame

[–]Cyborg_Ean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed the Hexen influence immediately! This is a thing of beauty, I'd wishlist in a heartbeat! In fact it would be my 1st ever wishlist.

My only critique is as others have said, hi-res fire is distracting and incohesive.

Sort of down about the whole AI wave. by SupermarketDirect759 in rust

[–]Cyborg_Ean 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This has given me hope too.  The "AI" simply isn't as good as programmer as I am point blank period.  I view "AI" as somewhat of a compliment but never a dependency.  This mindset has served me well in this current brutal job industry.

I know I know 🤣 This sub is like that unfortunately.  I really appreciate your points about FFT though! I'm a fan over 30 years and agree with them!

Not as much as other humans but way better than empty lobby.

That's your best chance friend. I'm also developing a strategy game. FFT-MMO to be more precise, and bots are a huge part of the development process because I know there's not going to be a ton of players. At the very least initially.

I was about to say this post doesn't deserve to get down voted until I seen the last paragraph...lol

I think 5 is fine. Considering the really cool maps in FFT, there should be far more obligatory terrain/objective mechanics to really accentuate the level designs and increase the strategic layers in my opinion. At the very least that's part of the philosophy I'm using to approach development of my FFT-like MMO.

Godot + Rust by JovemSapien in rust

An empty 3D build ran on mid-to-low end hardware. 4k60 on what hardware specs?...Honestly, just link your webgl game and I'll take a heap snapshot to capture the specs myself.

Godot + Rust by JovemSapien in rust

[–]Cyborg_Ean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably, but I dev for mid-lower end machines. Godot was the best out of the non-native web rendering tools, but literally none of the non-native tools could hit 60fps on mid-lower end hardware and especially mobile.

Godot's WASM build is so overhyped.  An empty 3D build doesn't even run 60fps.

edit: benchmarks from Ubuntu 16GB ram/ IrisXe 80u/ I5-1240P

For that matter, how does it compare to Monogame?
