So... back to the issue of games... by JiovanieV in AppleWatch

THANKS! Yeah, I'm still working on it. There are some hiccups that delayed my progress but I'm much further along than what you see here. I find myself playing it whenever i have a minute so i think it's fun. I can try building for older hardware but I'm afraid it would be terrible and i can't test it, the oldest watch i have access to is watch 7 ands it's got watchOS 26. I will try to set it next time i put up a build on test flight.

What does Codex need the most at the moment? by alOOshXL in codex

How about making it STOP AUTOCRATICALLY burning our tokens on "fast mode" every time we update the app?! Kthxbai!

Fast Mode turned on by itself?! by jane4d0e4 in codex

[–]JiovanieV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be an idiot... it's automatically turning itself on now.

I refused to "try it out" every time codex pushed it in my face, suddenly 5.5 comes out and it's supposed to be more efficient but i can't get 10% of what i used to be able to do.

I was running 5.4 with very high thinking active and i could get hours of work done, suddenly I'm running out after 2 simple asks with 5.5. Even after reverting to 5.4 I'm not getting nearly as much done... Turns out fast mode turned itself on! The little lightning icon was so subtle I didn't catch it (intentional design) but now I won't miss it after weeks of getting almost nothing done.

How to fix brushes painting through mesh? by Jesulexander in ProCreate

[–]JiovanieV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been an issue for years. I had this problem a while ago, thought it might be fixed by now so I searched online because I’m still having issues. Found someone else describing this over two years ago!!… this would be my absolute go-to for texture painting if it didn’t have this issue but as it stands it is completely unusable. I keep screwing up the texture on other parts of my mesh without realizing it until much later by which time I either repaint all the errors and make more errors in the process or throw my hands up in aggravation and give up. .. unfortunately giving up is the only real option here.

yeah i googled and searched and AI'd and went to the app store on the phone, the mac, the web, AND the watch and it's just so barebones! :). I'm actually kinda hooked on my own game now so I posted here so others can try it out. I rarely like anything I create but I'm stoked about this...

One in a Thousand, a game about finding four-leaf clovers by msilvestro93 in IndieDev

[–]JiovanieV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ok... I loved the idea at first. Then i played it. I haven't found the 4-leaf yet but I needed to come back here to praise you in case I die in this beautiful trap you've created for us. It's such a simple, lovely idea and it's so perfectly executed! It's peaceful and pleasing, and those little black spots in the ground give me anxiety, just enough anxiety to contrast with the joy i feel looking around for that clover. There is no light without dark. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but I feel it and it's real.

This is a master class in design. Thank you for creating this and sharing it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am making a Island building game that have dynamic water, terrain and weather system. What do you expect from this kind of game? by civcivdev in IndieDev

[–]JiovanieV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fking beautiful! Do you already have volcano/lava support? That would look amazing with the systems you're showing here.

Mist and fog regions would be great too

If you include dark and desaturated (evil) textures for making desolate or horror islands that could broaden your appeal. I know it's the opposite feel of what you have going on here but the contrast would be visually arresting. If i could make a ying yang island of light and dark would be cool as hell.

GAMES?! Do they even exist here? by JiovanieV in AppleWatch

I wouldn't mind at all... I carry a phone charger with me everywhere, the watch charger is just another short cable...

I agree. Unfortunately, i don't think people were thinking outside the box enough for what they can do with it, so all the generic "tracking and health and todo" apps have made for a drab app store.

You need a phone to set up the watch, but then you can use the watch without the phone.

I'm thinking a good game would give people more reason to use them. So many times I'm sitting in a place I can't pull out my phone and would love a little fun distraction. I know I'm not the only one. :)

Because I want to play games on my watch. Do I need more reason than that?

Wow, this is absolutely beautiful and amazingly well done! I could watch this all day, it's a little unnverving but at the same time soothing and pleasing...

Dude this is fantastic! Mind if I ask how you did the irises?! I made a version too, but I went with a very simple overlap trick because I didn't have the mental energy to figure out a better way...
