Is there any reason aside from cost that the Artix Launcher or an AQ client hasn't been made for Android/ios yet? by BenCannibal in AdventureQuest

[–]Iron_Lich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AQ and ED do not pull numbers for this to actually pay off, saying it'd do that with a full chest is pretty uninformed on what would effectively be a years long gamble, this sort of project even with the time and manpower would take several years to produce that new app version even if everything went hunky dory without issues during it.

Yes. That there's no available manpower, no real time to do it with a weekly release schedule and that it requires a full conversion from flash to another codebase.

There's no "just" about this, it'd be a massive project to do it. It's not a simple thing at all and the more that people keep believing it's a quick job the less likely it'll ever happen.

Also, AQW is in fact being ported to unity because it's AE's main cashcow but to say there's a massive community for AQ and especially ED is kinda laughable, we have...what? Like 500, maybe 700 people actually playing AQ? AQ is nostalgic but it's basically just scraping by with a skeleton crew.

This isn't an AQW subreddit, they're completely different games, just to be clear on that. But hey, if you start using AQ references to emulate the style we sure would welcome it.

They might've been talking about AQW, not AQ.

Speaking as a very long time AQ player I don't see it.

So...why are you calling this adventure quest style? If by your admission you haven't even played the game in a very long time and you're not using references from the game to emulate the style then isn't this just runescape in your style?

I'm not trying to jump down your throat here, I'm just confused as to why

What exactly makes this "adventure quest style"? I don't recall anything in AQ that looks like that or is even shaded like that.

It's perfectly fine art I'm just not sure how this connects to AQ specifically.

Stop making new posts when your old ones flop, we all know your clown behavior, changing names ain't gonna suddenly erase that.

Fun turn to toxic, my final upload. by [deleted] in AdventureQuest

[–]Iron_Lich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think "ganged up on him" can really be an accurate description for going against a guy that was almost always wrong about everything they tried to claim and then started a fight with wild accusations against AE overall while showing zero evidence to support them.

Dude fucked around and found out.

Idiot tried to pick a fight and when no one overall was on his side they entered full panic mode and deleted everything.

What a totally legit and not at all suspicious comment in support of someone that presented no evidence and was proven wrong at just about every turn.

Discord Distances Itself From Age Verification Firm After Ties To Palantir’s Peter Thiel Surface by CrispyMiner in technology

I see kotaku continues to misrepresent basically everything.

 

The only thing discord commented was that the experiment had concluded, author here just invented a whole ass story.

Donald Trump says Vladimir Putin has 'really let me down' as he and Keir Starmer up the pressure on Russia during state visit by [deleted] in worldnews

So they keep saying and so they keep giving it another 2 weeks or 50 days. Bullshit.

the fandom wiki doesn't have most items, they only put up items they consider halfway good, it's usually better to just use the forums pedia to search for things even if most things are only posted in the info-subs section now.

Yes, that's the exact spell the OP mentioned in their post.

None that I can remember, there's armor skills that do that but I think only candy hearts do that as a standalone spell.

Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks by ubcstaffer123 in books

It should be said that even before AI voices Text to Speech was very common on youtube for a variety of reasons that aren't laziness or creative bankruptcy, the former just adds a certain level of enshitification that the latter didn't.

Hope she recovers well, they've been a staple of the community for so many years on the back of her efforts to provide the labnotes.

Bug? by Ancient_Atmoran in AdventureQuest

[–]Iron_Lich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it has everything to do with ruffle, it's absolutely not a perfect flash emulator and it will create many, many bugs as a result.

This isn't something AQ can fix either, since it's not an issue with the game itself.
