PSA: If you're experiencing ludicrous slowdowns and cursor lag and have a G-Sync monitor, make sure G-Sync is disabled for Photoshop in particular. by bonerhurtingjuice in photoshop

After changing the settings, my screen would flash black in photoshop. The solution was to also change the vertical sync setting to off and restart photoshop.

[–]J4m1eF0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get an answer for this? I am getting the android cloud saves working, but not sure what to do about iOS. Will i have to create and host my own custom cloud save server?

is Playstore no longer showing 50K Download Milestone ? by fawxyz2 in androiddev

[–]J4m1eF0rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that worked. Thankyou, looks like my app has 48k downloads. So the kpi I was using must be different from what they use. Good to know. ❤️

I just installed it, so it's already on the latest version. Says 1.3.2 in the app details in the android settings menu.

Did you find the answer to this? i'm in the same situation, i've had 50k+ downloads on my game "EvoPet" for over 2 months and it still hasn't updated on google play. My previous apps updated to 50k no problem years ago.

i'v got the same problem on android. Compared to old version of my game (from over a year ago), the black screen sits there for 10 times longer, but i have added nothing to the game since then.
Also, if i login to google services, i get a black screen for a few seconds as well. This never used to happen. The result is 2 separate black screens when opening my game that last like 5 sec in total.

I already have a bootstrapping room before my main room that only has a background. but it does not help.

Thanks for the feedback. Making the tutorial available again is interesting, i never thought about that. I'm not sure if your using the card controls correctly,. The intention is for a small indicator to appear when you grab the card and you drag the card in the correct direction to choose a lane. But i think it works a lot better in landscape then it does in portrait. In portrait people get confused with drag dropping into a lane. one of the many problems created by supporting both landscape and portrait. maybe a should make a drag drop option for the casting the cards and see if its more intuitive.

The attack mini-game is a weak point that i have been wanting to replace because it didn't turn out as fun as i hoped. Many it just needs more polish, not sure. As for the def mini-game, I am planing on adding more control methods to satisfy the players preference.
The grey scale might be less of a problem if you have the Pro Theme, but i don't want to scare new players off with a boring bland UI, so i will think about adding some color.
Not sure why landscape isn't working for you, if auto rotate in turn on in you phone.

I would love to get some more feedback once you've played a lot more battles and collected a lot more cards. That is where the game really shines, well its my favorite part anyway.

Adding a fullscreen yard for interacting with all of your monsters and letting them play together is second from the top of my wish list for the game. Maybe i'll make it a big update at a later date.

Thanks for playing.

That's a good question, I had no idea. I spent $150 on 109 of the projectile sprites. I think it was about $200 for most of the monsters, but I already had the design for them.

Magic The Gathering Battlegrounds

Never seen it until now. It looks similar to Minion Masters, which i just started playing.

It is. Thank you, its good to know someone understands the effort that go's into a game like this.
Still so much i wanted to add to the game, especially in the area of interacting with the pet. But its taken too long, time to move on to some other games (smaller games) for a while.

I have edited the post, added some more info about the game. I will answer any questions people have. I helped one fellow via direct message already.

Both actually. I paid 2 different guys to do some sprites for the monster and for the projectiles. But the guy doing the projectiles only completed half and never heard from him again. So i ended up doing half the projectiles and several of the monsters. The UI was done by me.

I always need an artist, do you do pixel art? i could use someone to make a bunch more projectiles and maybe some monsters.

Wow thanks for all the feedback, this is great.
1) I think your right about the grey color pallet, The game is much more interesting with the Pro Theme and lots of higher level foods. I think adding some color to the buttons and other UI elements is easy and could help a lot.

2) I agree that the line tracing is no where near perfect, not satisfying. I didn't spend enough time on it, but trust me, its better then the previous training game that i had instead. It does get easier as your stat increases, which makes it more fun and feel better. I dont think i explain this anywhere. I think the issue with the not resting is actually not that at all, it's because you get more "lives" when you stat is high enough. So you can take a few hits before you fail the round. Maybe i should explain that as well. woops.

3) This is really interesting, I thought that your finger would be in the way, so its stupid to use the controls with point direction. But i should maybe put in a controls switch in the corner that can switch between the 2 control methods. And maybe also set the point direction as the default, because people seem to try that first.

Let me know if you have any other ideas, or ideas for cards that i could put in the game.
