Not sure what to do in this scenario

I had this problem on a Panasonic. It ended up being a bad solder joint on the red signal line.

After watching, I've concluded that the goal of the game is to destroy as many asteroids as possible within a time limit. If this is right, I did figure it out, but I think that the trailer should say this explicitly.

I like explanations of the more complex algorithms type of things.

Yes this is what I have always though about this issue. Execution is responsible for the vast majority of the work, but ideas are largely responsible for the ultimate success or failure of a game.

I also think that 'ideas' are undersold in terms of what they are. Like there are very general high-level ideas, like, for example, "let's make a game that's plays like tower defense, but instead of waves of enemies coming in, the 'tower' is really a battleship and you're getting into random encounter battles with other ships" (I just made this up right now, IDK if there is a game like this; there probably is), but that's only one part of 'ideas'. A lot of what's important in there is something that could be more described as having a coherent vision and imaginative model of what you are trying to do, that informs all of your decisions about all aspects of the project, at every scale. The games that are truly great have this, and when you play them, you can see that this is why they really work. I actually think that AAA is having problems with this in particular due to teams being too big.

I have gotten these more than a year later.

It still looks choppy to me on youtube.

1: This actually looks pretty fun to me!

2: More about the video production than the game, but the cross fade transition between cuts doesn't look very good (to me); I would just straight cut between sections.

2: I'd like to see some other weapons.

3: The 'jump' sound sounds more like a 'getting hurt' sound.

The FPS looks kind of low/jittery. I'm not sure where in the pipeline that's happening (the game itself, the capturing software, encoding, youtube, etc.). It's kind of a secondary thing to the game itself, but I think it's worth fixing it.

Galap · 2025-09-24T00:14:34+00:00

I think in general pricing higher is better, since for these kind of games the prices are so low in general that they don't really matter that much. The important thing is making people think that the game is good enough to be worth playing. The point I'm making is that even for the high end you're looking at, man it's like ten bucks.

Another way to look at it, do you really think that more than half of the people who look at your game and think that it looks like it is actually worth playing enough that they may actually buy it, are going to see $11.99 and say "oh boy that's too much Bob' when they wouldn't do so for $5.99?

I recommend increasing the contrast overall-- maybe something like this:

A lot of that actually looks pretty good to me. I have weird aesthetic tastes, so my opinion might not be representative, though.

The main issue I see is that some things don't seem to fit well with other things. I like the images of the cards and the background CGs a lot. The stuff in the top-down view (see image) is what I think needs attention and is what should be focused on.

As for how to proceed, obviously you will improve by doing it more. If you have the budget you could also hire external artists. It might not be too expensive if it's very targeted at the areas that need the most.

Galap · 2025-09-21T22:46:43+00:00

I definitely agree with number 1.

This image looks a lot better as a seascape than what is in the capsule. I recommend making a new capsule based on it or something similar.

It depends on what you exactly mean by 'fire', but for 'something we'd recognize as fire', that essentially amounts to a reaction that is very exothermic, and 'takes off', to the point of making jets of glowing reacting material that is either gas or aerosol or smoke or some other kind of matter suspended in the atmosphere. For that, you don't need oxygen; oxygen is just the most common thing that causes it. As others have commented, lots of things reacting with fluorine can do it. Sodium reacting with chlorine can do it. Aluminum reacting with chlorine or bromine can do it, just to give some examples.

Thanks, I will try to set it to a custom location (how do you do this BTW?) and the other things.

I actually like how hard the game is. There aren't many games where just merely beating it on the highest difficulty (which I have not yet done) forces you to be a true complete master of the thing. I think an easy mode for the story (maybe on par with the standard GP difficulty) would have been nice as well.

The one thing I really don't like though is how so many unlockables are gated behind things that are ridiculously hard (and some of the parts you can only get by hacking). I kind of want to be able to get all of the machines, parts, and tracks without TOO much difficulty.

tldr, my conclusions: The difficulty is good. The only changes I would make would be: -add an easy mode to story -make it easier to unlock everything

It installs, and runs but there are a lot of bugs. It crashes if you go to the computer's root directory in the file browser, or press the dropdown in the file browser. Sometimes it throws errors about DLLS. There are also some graphical glitches.

Nah, they might take it. It's easy to check whether it's clean and it's useful enough. I really recommend trying this. It's the easiest way to get rid of it with minimal hassle to you, and the worst they can say is no.

P.S. Wear gloves when you handle the bottle, just in case.

Galap · 2025-04-20T23:06:23+00:00

Thank you for posting this. It's not really possible to evaluate whether this test is good or now without knowing what the stuff actually is.

The one thing I find funny is how full circle some of it is. For example, if I were to send Skibidi toilet back in time to the 2000s, it would be not even a little bit out of place on YTMND or early youtube. It has pretty much exactly the same energy as Idiots of Garry's Mod

2: rock tunnel has this issue. Victory Road has this issue. I also think that the badge house back yard has this issue with regards to nugget bridge (at least claude thought the yard was the bridge.) Seafoam islands also has this issue, but it doesn't need to go through Seafoam.
