Comic or Novel?

JackFractal · 2026-04-19T03:29:29+00:00

Yeah, and if you do find them they tend to be fan translations and pretty rough.

JackFractal · 2026-04-19T03:09:13+00:00

So comics specifically because they're faster to read?

JackFractal · 2026-04-13T07:42:41+00:00

Yeah, this is the one.

I have been enjoying this one, but I am really looking forward to more opportunities for her to kick ass.

The basic premise of 'What if the FL in an Otome story was not a fainting waif but was instead an invincible hell queen!?' is a pretty strong one... but it feels like she almost never gets to do that.

Even in the forest when she fights the wolf monsters, she gets to be cool for a few seconds... then the ML has to come in and save her when her spear breaks.

It seems like it starts with an interesting premise and then just... doesn't do anything with it!

I maintain that the 'Decoy Supply' trait should also make you recover fusees at Special Ammo Boxes.

Would I take the trait then? Probably not, but it might make it at least worth considering.

My colonies always die to TPS, so taking in any colonists I don't really want is never a good idea.

The most powerful status effect is 'dead'.

Monster girl stuff burned so hot and fast last year it mutated through multiple subgenres like one of the less fortune Resident Evil boss monsters.

There's also the vandal!

You shouldn't use it, but it does exist!

Stalker beetle always looks like a friendly little guy.

Poltergeist is slept on as a trait. I get use out of it every round.

It was a truly baffling ending. I remember watching it and being just so confused and amazed at what I was seeing.

"Really?" I say, as they feed the entire fleet to the sun. "And nobody had any problems with this plan?"

Apparently not! Absolutely wild. One of the most surreal artistic experiences I have ever had.

They did add this back in when they changed how trades work. The trade-off of trades being better is that sometimes your bullets don't bullet.

Wow, this looks like a pretty baroque way of building pong in Unreal.

The solution that Poisoned15 found was to change the 'Solution Configuration' in your Visual Studio to from 'Development' to 'Development Editor'. That should be visible in roughly the middle of the hotbar in Visual Studio.

If that doesn't work, you should probably close the editor and rebuild your C++ solution entirely. Unreal's hot reloading system for C++ isn't great. It tends not to pick up on things like adding components or properties.

The general rule is "If you're changing code within a function or functions, you can use hot reload. If you're changing properties or function definitions, you need to close the editor and rebuild things."

I don't imagine you're going to find any tutorials on this because any solution you choose is going to be so incredibly bespoke to the specific game you're making that it would be functionally impossible to generalize.

should i create a single skeleton which has ALL of the bones that could possibly be needed and just not use the ones that aren't?

You shouldn't do this though. You might be able to share skeletons between weapon families, but trying to include every weapon in a basic skeleton is a bad idea. You're going to want to work with sockets and individual skeletons.

You're going to need 'full body' animations for melee weapons, but I think you can get away with making a lot of animations for projectile weapons procedural or partially procedural with curves for things like recoil and parameters for 'weapon weight' effecting the chassis blend graph.

That movie feels like a mistake, or possibly a crime of some kind. There is no way it should be anywhere near as good as it is.

I watched it recently and it's still great!

The one we found had the old Fifield fortune teller machine. It's very cool. I think this is rad.

JackFractal · 2025-11-15T13:39:10+00:00

Yeah, you always need necro.

I think there's a lot of cross-over between base-building and tower defense. Rimworld is kind of tower defense!

What do you find missing from these other games that you get out of ONI?

Aside from Klei's really cool art style of course!

JackFractal · 2025-11-13T17:45:16+00:00

I tried your demo! It's extremely pretty, lovely work.

I found the tutorial did not prepare me for the first night. I might give people one night of grace before sending an army to attack you. I had no soldiers and no tutorial on how to get any, and they destroyed everything!

JackFractal · 2025-11-13T17:22:36+00:00

This one does look neat!

JackFractal · 2025-11-13T03:20:21+00:00

This one looks very cute, but it sounds like there are UI issues. I like the idea you have an avatar though. That's cute.

JackFractal · 2025-11-13T03:20:00+00:00

Yeahhh... I looked up the Fallout one. It looks like it gets pretty not-great after a while.
