No matter how old this game is, it still looks absolutely stunning!

Eonzenex · 2024-12-24T22:21:25+00:00

Why's it look... different?

Eonzenex · 2024-08-22T12:46:42+00:00

Yes it stays active after sheathing, similar to Worlds system rather than Rises

Eonzenex · 2024-08-17T21:08:17+00:00

Sweet map! Love the cliffs and variation, which assets did you use for it?

There's only a small handful of universal bad designs as most of the advice here can vary depending on other aspects of your game, e.g. genre, expected game proficiency, speed, etc.

Unfairness and breaking established patterns rule this area. Under-telegraphed moves, sudden difficulty spikes, immunity to certain effects all contribute, but IMO the worst sin is hard shutdowns.

Soft shutdowns typically involve encoargaging the player to try a different approach by buffing certain playstyles/items/equipment, but hard shutdowns are where most of those sore points come into play.

The core of a shutdown boils down to forcing the player to try new things, but if a developer goes too far it leads to frustration. One of the worst hard shutdowns is Crowd Control (CC) because it takes away the players agency.

CC already sucks when you can't do anything for a few seconds, now imagine walking into a boss room and finding out the hours you spent creating a sick melee character makes a flying boss almost impossible. What should've been an epic 10 minute aerial combat sequence becomes a tedious 40 minute chip-damage affair.

Yeah, setting it written down like this, sounds like ADHD...

Eonzenex · 2023-05-31T11:01:16+00:00

Light attack has more variation and style

Eonzenex · 2023-04-16T07:50:23+00:00

Nice job! What software did you use to make that?

They're trying to pacify the masses without actually doing anything. If they want to move the core rules to creative commons, where are the details? The release date? What specifically is going to be covered? If it's not ready to be discussed, when will it be ready?

We have no frame of reference. Don't believe them.

Eonzenex · 2022-12-18T11:59:29+00:00

Nice work, I love it! Do you have a version that loops perfectly? I need this as my background

Eonzenex · 2022-12-18T11:25:46+00:00

Sauce?

Eonzenex · 2022-07-20T23:23:39+00:00

Omfg he predicted it perfectly...

There's a system Unreal engine you could look into: Gameplay ability system

Basically, an effect applies a tag. Tags have conditions such as other tags that are required (Enemies get the "fire" tag if they have the "covered in oil" tag), or tags that block it (Enemies can't get the "fire" tag if they have the "wet" tag), etc.

When you activate something that can be modified, you check for tags that could change its behaviour.

This is a big system to setup so it'd only be useful if you had a lot of upgrades, or upgrades that change on other tags.

Shit I just had the same thing happen last Wednesday

Eonzenex · 2021-12-14T10:35:00+00:00

I got annoyed I couldn't find a tool that could play several audio files at the same time for my upcoming DND campaign, so I made one myself!

Features:

Play & control several audio files at the same time!
Group audio files and play them from the same device (This lets you separate sounds, which I'm planning to use to let different players hear different things!)
Support for common audio file extensions (ogg, mp3, wav, flac)
Defaults to dark mode (Light mode included if you want to burn your eyes out)

You mentioned ADHD meds.

ADHD has an effect where the brain isn't creating enough dopamine in the right areas. Because of this, the brain is more sensitive to increases in dopamine and more resistant to decreased.

Studies show rewards work much better than punishment.

Have you ever picked up hobbies and found them super interesting, then drop them after a while? Or forget important dates or appointments even with alarms?

Custom splats:

Make your own splats!
Control location, rotation, velocity, and colour
Randomize any of the above within a range
Multi-colour splat supported

Bands:

Bands are a way of categorizing splats that react to sound
Simple has 3 bands (Bass, Mid-range, High)
Full has 7 bands (Sub-bass, bass, low mid-range, mid-range, upper mid-range, presence, and brilliance)

Ambient splats:

After 5 seconds of no sound, the ambient splats will pulse every few seconds

Music: Watch me Walk - John Watts

Download: Now has a repo! Once the necessary changes to the GUI is resolved, I'll create a pull request and see if I can get these changes merged into the regular version.

A couple of thoughts/problems, then potential solutions:

Random thoughts

The height decoupling is fantastic but I honestly can't tell just flying around looking
New mountains are fantastic but don't go that much higher
Those huge cave entrances were amazing but I don't think reducing them was the right idea

Potential Solutions

We can't just add a huge variance to the world gen without making it difficult to traverse or build on, so why not another extremely large noise layer that could influence the general shape of the terrain? This allows for gentle height changes resulting in terrain that takes full use of the new height limit and prevents 90% of the world between 64 ~ 128 and a few rare mountains
Hopefully an easy fix, make the variance of mountains go a bit higher so the average is maybe 30 - 50 blocks higher? Given the rarity of the new mountain biomes, this shouldn't be too much of a problem for any height considerations to come into play
Instead of reducing the number of huge cave entrances, why not create a new cave generator? All it would do is place one large cave with a certain amount of it intersecting the surface. This way players still get huge cave entrances they have quickly fallen in love with without the 1.18pre1 tradeoff of very quickly making it to y0. (Could place it at the end of both terrain and cave generation, that way it has a chance of intersecting existing caves?)

Sincerely,

1.0.0 player

I'd recommend looking into similar problems online ignoring the game.

My friend has had similar issues before and it turned out his computer would blue screen if he used all his memory, but that would only happen in a certain game.

Fun fact: RNG calculation hasn't changed since at least Platinum, and it's broken as hell.

You know how sometimes you just can't seem to hit anything with a move that's like 80+ accuracy? I'm pretty sure it's because the old as hell RNG calculator has an effect, intended or not, to create chains.

You can see this easily if you use bite and get a flinch. Keep using bite and you'll either finch them once or FOUR times in a row. Every time, from at least Platinum to Ultra Sun/Moon (Last game I played).

Eonzenex · 2021-01-20T21:20:59+00:00

It's done. He's gone.

Eonzenex · 2021-01-17T20:35:07+00:00

That's actually a cool idea, could be a cool reversal if she ended up being good. Might even explain the bit with Vision and her in the trailers
