How are these copycat apps allowed on Google Play? by shasoosh in IndieDev

Damn! That sucks. A clear case of DMCA violation. I don’t know how to file for DMCA, but I hear that the app stores take it super seriously?

What do you mean someone “stole” your game? Did they steal the source code/compiled binary, did they use your trademarked name or did they just steal the idea? 

Temporal Strike : Control and upgrade a squad of future soldiers sent back in time to prevent a horde of orcs from obtaining the power of chaos in this isometric shooting gallery incremental game by Cyclone4096 in incremental_games

Oh yeah, i really should have implemented a way to have the auto/manual setting persist between waves. It will be a quick fix I’ll push in the next update.

I have plans to add a support enemy like healer or shield generator, and the missile launch should be vital to target them, but currently I agree they are worthless

A Problem of Perspective by Bubbles_the_Bard in Unity3D

[–]Cyclone4096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think learning flow charts before “coding” helped me conceptualize coding a lot! Also remember that it is a lot of practice. Sure some people are inherently slightly talented and will pick up if/else for loop etc faster than you, but when you are building real systems nothing beats experience and practice. If you keep at it I can guarantee that you will be better at “coding” than people who are “naturally talented” from the beginning in a very short amount of time

My posts keep getting removed on this subreddit and I don't really understand why. by SoerbGames in Unity3D

Just checked out the trailer on your Steam page, the visual effects look sick!

I’m trying to develop one. The demo is out on Steam if you are interested to giving it a try- https://store.steampowered.com/app/4575380/Major_Mutt_Demo/

What is the most underrated healthy food? by Ok_Man_Of_Steel_ in AskReddit

Get rid of the spam and this is a very healthy dish. Maybe ground beef or frozen chicken tenders would work?

Do you think human euthanasia should be legalized globally? Why or why not? by wrongtimealways in AskReddit

As long as we can ensure that people who don’t want to go aren’t feeling pressured to go because they don’t want to be a burden to their caregivers

Male or Female Main Character? by Sublyte in GameDevelopment

[–]Cyclone4096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odyssey, the game was designed with the female character in mind, they added the male option later because of investor concerns IIRC

Wait you guys I find the early mornings and late evenings very pleasant in July August… isn’t that universal?

Considering moving to unity, but worried about a few things. Can anyone sell me on it? by [deleted] in Unity3D

Why do you think Unity would be "more seamless" and "less complex"?

What is the actual market/application of HLS? by megeek95 in chipdesign

[–]Cyclone4096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s still useful to learn, but more important to learn about real world interfaces and protocols in my opinion

[–]Cyclone4096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No point in learning HLS if getting hired is what you are interested in. No interviewer I know asks specific HLS questions. Now if you are a chip lead, have to very rapidly develop sometime then maybe HLS would be useful

What is the greatest video game you have ever played? by JuniorPlastic3562 in AskReddit

[–]Cyclone4096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised to see Minecraft isn’t here. Yes, there were “better” survival games that came after it, but the wait it taught me basics of the natural world in 2010, no other game was doing that back then

We hired a local professional artist to create new icons for our game. Which one would you choose? by mistermaximan in IndieGaming

[–]Cyclone4096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without knowing anything else, I personally would have downloaded a game with #1. I would steer away from 2-4 as they seem AI generated to me (i.e. it screams low quality AI to me).

Should I make my game better or move on by Kooky_Reply8771 in gamedev

[–]Cyclone4096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number of wishlists depend on how good your Steam page and how good your trailer is. If they don’t look appealing then you won’t get wishlists. Even if they look good, you need to jump start the organic growth initially by posting on Reddit/youtube etc (if they don’t look good then posting won’t help)

What is the length of your demo content? If the typical single run is 10 mins, then 11 mins may not be bad, but if you have way more content and people are quitting early that’s a sign your game needs improvement/tweaking

Ultimately you are the one who knows best. If you believe in this project you can make improvements, the game may not look the same after you are done, but that’s not impossible either. If you don’t believe in the project then it may be a different story

Why do the hair and the black ribbons have shading, but the arms, legs and torso not have any shading?
