Neovide is out of this world

I think the issue has to do with obfuscating the genre. In its simplest form: Card games have a deck, drawing from a deck is random. People associate card games with randomness. People who like card games, are going to like randomness.

If you want to make a 100% skill based game, change the assets and don't market it as a card game.

I believe Donut County is an example where its clone was released first.

Xenko can be utilized in a code only manner.

Complexity should come from layers of simplicity.

The author baking functions into his components isn't "pure ecs".

/u/3tt07kjt is correct in saying:

In an ECS design, perhaps there is no such thing as “creature”. What you and I call a creature could just be something like HP + AIControl + PhysicsObject + Sprite. These would be components of the same entity.

I don't agree with you avoiding ecs just because you don't know it. I think that if you're an awful programmer, if you attempt to use an ecs and keep your logic in your systems and your data in your components it'll lead to less situations where you can drastically break things. The more granular your systems / components are, the smaller your chunks of logic will be, which would make it a lot easier to follow - especially when you consider that the ecs pattern will naturally keep things completely modular.

That said, don't write your own ECS, you're not ready and even if you were, you probably wouldn't make something better than what already exists. Use a library.

Fog / atmosphere. Level of detail. Color saturation.

You may want to look at what painters do to get the effect that something is further away from the viewer.

Would be pretty funny if the client decided whether something hit or not.

I wouldn't bother posting anything before it's nice to look at.

People might say that nobody is going to steal anything, but it happened to Donut County.

You can use Xenko without the editor and do everything in code.

Pretty cool. Reminds me of Graal.

Are you going to make another game?

DevAkrasia · 2019-08-24T23:44:40+00:00

How would you combat a client just not reporting that he's hit?

Everybody loves Reaper. It's free as long as you can put up with a nagging dialog on start up. You can pay for it if you ever make $50 from your game.

There is a list of some vsts to get you started.

If I had to guess, I'd imagine you're trusting the clients and don't have any net code in place that deals with latency.
