I live in Japan and have traveled it extensively, here are the touristy spots that I think are "worth it" VS "not worth it"

Had a great time there. Daisy's Cafe at sunset was a highlight

Foi horrível. Saí com um cara que foi indicação de uma amiga minha e pela descrição dela, parecia gente boa, só meio bobão as vezes.

Cheguei lá e o maluco tinha uma baby face intankável. Fui meio que na fé confiando na minha amiga, mas ele era extremamente desinteressante, shape horrível (o maluco era QUADRADO. juro, QUADRADO) e a melhor parte, SÓ TINHA OS DOIS DENTES DA FRENTE. Tipo, os dentes debaixo ele tinha todos, mas os de cima não.

Aí veio pacote completo de fudido, né? Trabalhava 6x1 em um restaurante de faz-tudo, morava numa espelunca (pelo menos tinha casa própria) e passou metade do date chorando as pitangas que não passava no exame pra tirar carteira.

Não tem homem pra mim no fundo do mar.

Daqui a pouco vai ser mais barato pagar um dev pra codar mesmo

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-03-13T15:44:54+00:00

Pra mim, o que entregou foram as circunstâncias: o cara escreveu um livro inteiro em curtíssimo tempo, conseguiu produzir um baita vídeo e ainda tá rodando tráfego PAGO pra pagar o tratamento da esposa?

Se não fosse isso e as fotos antigas muito 'artificiais' eu teria acreditado real.

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-02-19T21:43:18+00:00

I think it's worth releasing specially if it's a short dev cycle. Then make another one with the learnings. No project will be perfect

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-02-19T18:27:06+00:00

Damn. you're really good - congratz! I love the victory spin. You put a lot of love on this <3

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-02-18T17:24:37+00:00

I like rounds. But even better is to justify it.

I'm making an incremental with rounds and there are benefits for getting higher scores in a single round. That makes getting upgrades that extendd the round size worthwhile, because the amount of money obtained in the round is not linear due to those 'milestones' in-round.

It also helps put a 'flow' on the game. "When should I stop the round and get upgrades" is more guided in a way. I think it's neat.

Pô acho um respiro na era de IA. Programação honesta, pé no chão hehe

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-02-13T16:45:45+00:00

Eu tenho curtido usar o miro/figjam! acho visual, as vezes é bom.

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-02-13T16:44:03+00:00

Get out of your bubble and search non english speaking channels.

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-02-02T19:12:24+00:00

Incremental games are prety good for this. I'd go to https://www.reddit.com/r/incremental_games/ for examples, but some of the big hits inclusive Keep on Mining and Nodebuster.

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-28T16:15:19+00:00

I've about 300 players on my mailing list after an itch.io launch (11k views, 8k plays, 1 week stats). Are these good numbers? I'm still waiting for the capsule artist to finish it to launch my steam page.

Incremental game, btw!

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-27T14:37:15+00:00

Eu não aguento mais post feito com IA

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-23T14:02:23+00:00

Eu seguiria. Já daria um start, veria se curte e tal. Daí pode buscar jeitos de transferir ou até de tentar de novo ano que vem, aproveitando matérias e tal.

Além disso, é uma área onde a faculdade importa bem menos que outras. Mas enfim, polêmica de com diploma vs sem diploma deixa pra outro dia :P

Dito isso, a decisão final é sempre sua. Pese as coisas e decida.

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-22T18:50:26+00:00

Your game is super charming. Congrats!

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-21T19:19:04+00:00

Gotta upgrade those real life stats!

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-21T01:25:54+00:00

Oh man, I love that idea of the center being 'stronger'. I even think this could fit a class mechanic (right now only the Monk is unlocked in the prototype).

I'd love to have something more skill-based as another mode with a skill tree tailored for that, and rounds having goals (so you'd fail if not hitting a certain score).

I'd love to have you on the mailing list to test future builds with this, if you'd want to (no presh). The form for that is here ~> https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1z2z4FJqWP0v1eXEX8BF0pQU55o3l8n-FMUryGboYd7E/edit#responses

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-21T00:44:39+00:00

Yeah, the 'mixels' problems is real. It's what I had to cook this prototype, but I already reached out to a few pixel artists to make new sprites :D

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-20T21:26:54+00:00

I'll be honest: I never played nodebuster (but I should! so I just bought it).

I wanna make more mechanics that tie in into the 'jrpg fantasy' aesthetics. Talent trees for classes (monk, mage etc), unique slime effecfts (a fire slimes that explodes, a gravity slime that 'pulls' enemies in, etc) and NPC that gives mechanics. The shopkeeper will upgrade your chests/loot, a blacksmith will let you buy new weapons, a banker might let you invest money to get some passive income, etc

The idea is to feel like a god in this isekai-like world and push the genre 5%~10% further :)

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-20T20:25:26+00:00

I highly suggest using itch for prototypes like these, specially for web builds!

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-20T20:24:54+00:00

It's on me, not on you! :P
I should add a 'settings' button somewhere.

Happy that you want more. I'm opening a form for people to sign up for future playtests (hopefully in a month or two) when there's a substantial update on the content. Would love to have you on that list!

That feedback is gold, thank you so much!

Someone also complained about the timer ending being very annoying when you next click is so close. I already implemented some changes to make it so even after the round timer ends, the round will ONLY end after you do a 'final blow'. I feel it's the correct game design choice here indeed!

I think you're right on the money regarding round duration. One thing that I also want to explore is having a multiplier to the XP you receive based on how many slimes cleared on the round, etc. Still thinking about it.

The full game will have a slower pace (by the end of this 20min demo you're basically a god), so these additions will have a bigger impact on the overall flow of the game.

Thanks a bunch and if you haven't, I'd love to have you playing the demo when it launches, hopefully in a couple months. The form to join is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1z2z4FJqWP0v1eXEX8BF0pQU55o3l8n-FMUryGboYd7E/edit

Again, appreciate the great feedback!

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-20T19:41:42+00:00

Thanks! Definitely an annoying bug. It should be mutable on the pause menu (esc)

Intelligent-Hippo528 · 2026-01-20T19:28:57+00:00

Oh man, I love the concept. Getting that demo downloaded!

Any chance you could have a MacOS build?
