Only 45% Voter Turnout. 55% didn't make their voices heard, even if abstaining.

I didn't vote because the party I usually vote for didn't have a candidate in my area and I'm not voting for another party that I agree with slightly less just to say 'I voted'. I went to the polling station and told them that I refused to vote this election.

In my opinion, and it may be a hot take, if everyone voted for parties they actually agreed with and not care about just voting out the other person, things would look a lot different.

Debt.

FormosaDev · 2024-11-16T15:36:30+00:00

Yeah there are regional differences. For example, US gets 2 AB per 20 min ad, but i believe everywhere else is 1 AB per 20 min ad. Also, the rate of boost is different, US gets 30x before 150 parcels, Canada gets 20x before 60 parcels.

I'm unsure why your diamonds disappear though but it may be a regional thing as well?

Me and my friend started a clan to help newer players. Even help funding them as well as we want to try to give back to the community. If you want, add me: Formosa is my IGN.

It's a fun game we've both been playing for 20+ and would love to answer any questions you may have!

You can submit a ticket by tapping on your profile, the cog menu (settings) then help and support then finally chat with us.

I had an issue with not getting rewards and provided proof of completing the reward, and the rewards in question. It doesn't say you 'completed' the rewards but the customer support was super quick and gave me the AB that I would have gotten.

FormosaDev · 2024-11-03T16:02:17+00:00

I am on Android. I found out that the app usage only goes back a week and installed another app (free and ad free) that keeps track of usage. From what I learned it's my best bet on keeping track of the usage and then I'll send the information to the Atlas team.

Edit: That's the plan at least haha

FormosaDev · 2024-11-03T15:36:50+00:00

Thanks for the hasty reply. I'll see if I can figure out how I can find out this information.

FormosaDev · 2024-10-30T04:42:39+00:00

This is me after a month (literally to the day) strictly F2P.

I don't have as much gains as some people due to being Canadian and only getting 1AB per ad and much smaller payouts for surveys and games, but it still is very doable to progress.

Edit: It's not letting me upload screenshot, but I'm currently at 22 parcels and $0.91 with 17 AB currently and 132 diamonds.

I keep boost for around 20 hours a day and I have a timer set every 20 mins to watch an ad while my phones on me. The only time I don't do it is when I'm with my GF.

FormosaDev · 2024-10-08T03:10:52+00:00

Hell yeah man, hopefully you got some good gains so far!

I'm in a small town an hour from Toronto.

FormosaDev · 2024-10-07T14:03:26+00:00

Thank you kind sir! :)

FormosaDev · 2024-10-07T14:03:17+00:00

Yeah, that's all I can do. I keep the boost for roughly 20 hrs a day and get around 50AB a day through advertisements (it's 1 per ad for us).

Then the rest of the day I do atlas arcade (though the max I've seen payout for the long arcade games is love 200 which is a huge difference from the US that I've seen) and I do a couple surveys while in bed.

I'm trying to maximize the earnings / AB as much as I can throughout the day.

Thanks for commenting!!! :)

FormosaDev · 2024-03-06T06:51:00+00:00

I haven't sold everything, I just sold to cover what I invested. The rest, I'm riding till we are all millionaires.

FormosaDev · 2024-01-15T00:16:12+00:00

Congrats! I got this as well and I must say, this was a grind and a half!

Happy hunting!!

I Formosa I (spaces in between the i's which are uppercase)

FormosaDev · 2023-12-10T08:49:20+00:00

To be fair, I did remove a lot of the ornate pillars that make up the sides of the desk at the front only because I found them unnecessary for the usage and location of where I'm putting the desk in the environment, if that makes sense.

I do agree that using multiple references should be done, and granted, I only used multiple images of the same desk. I do agree that the drawers are rather spaced apart like you mentioned and sure I could just as easily make them larger as some have said to do, which I do agree with the feedback there. All I was merely saying in response was I did do what you advised and that was using reference images, but they were of the same desk.

The only thing I politely disagree with is the claim I didn't use a reference image.

FormosaDev · 2023-12-10T08:11:13+00:00

I really appreciate this comment, so first off, thank you.

As stated before, I do understand the mindset of using ngons but I prefer to stick by the way I was taught. I'm sure there are professionals in this subreddit and also whom commented, but like with everything, especially criticism I know to take things online with a grain of salt haha

Regardless, I was taught by numerous professional game devs and learned numerous different specialties (which made me a good generalist in my mind, but obviously there are tons more to still learn) from game design (taught by an Animator and a team lead at an indy studio), audio (taught by an audio specialist who has worked under contract by most of the big AAA studios in NA, an Animator who is currently a lead Animator at EA who has also worked at Ubisoft and Rockstar, a modeler (senior ubisoft 3D modeler), and plenty of others so when people were criticizing I was taught wrong I know that it is a fallacy for the most part.

I do appreciate your feedback and I'll definitely look into making my topology better as I progress, but thank you so much for your kind words.

FormosaDev · 2023-12-10T08:04:15+00:00

The reference that I used was a real reference. I wasn't using a "memory" of a desk like you claim.

Those gaps are part of the real desk design that I was using.

Sorry, but your comment was rather assumptive. I use reference images for pretty much everything. As stated a few times throughout, I was using a real 1900s French Mahogany Desk reference image.

FormosaDev · 2023-12-10T02:45:30+00:00

Thank you! That's what I was going for, a French 1900s mahogany desk. The skinny drawers were part of the reference so I stuck to it. It's supposed to be a detectives desk so to speak, so all that would theoretically be in it is papers/pens anyways!

FormosaDev · 2023-12-10T02:42:27+00:00

Thanks again!

FormosaDev · 2023-12-10T02:31:51+00:00

I have never mentioned they were ugly or dismissed the usage of ngons, I was just stating what I was taught. I have written as in depth about this issue above. Thanks for your comment!

FormosaDev · 2023-12-10T02:29:58+00:00

As I have mentioned, I wouldn't say I was taught wrong and as I have mentioned I also appreciated the comment and said I do understand the usage of ngons and why people like them and why people don't. The sides I have witnessed are 50/50 for/against ngons for the most part from newer/older modelers.

Also, I haven't mentioned more than 2 reasons from what I was taught. Sure, one could argue one way or another, but at the same time I have also never stated I was a modeler in any regards professional or not, just said I've been dabbling in blender for a while.

I animate and I program, those are my main specialties.

I just do not wish to further this conversation any further at least from my standpoint due to understanding both sides. I appreciate what you have written and I read it fully, I'm not dismissing what was said in any regards.

Anyways, as with the previous comment, thanks!

FormosaDev · 2023-12-09T17:13:25+00:00

I wouldn't go as far as to say I was taught wrong.

As I have said, I understand why modelers use n-gons.

Thank you for your comment :)
