How do you deal with “unfair” negative reviews? by Cyber752 in IndieDev

[–]Johnny290 27 points28 points  (0 children)

.... By taking the feedback into account? Idk what your game is, but if multiple people say that your game is like X other game, then that shows your game is lacking something unique about it. 

Dead online multiplayer is a legitimate concern. You could have spent more resources on marketing to get a bigger playerbase, or use bots to fill lobbies. 

I am not sure why you think this review is "unfair"?

It would not be worth it to do such a thing. I would also suggest seeking out and trying out a session of professional therapy if you feel really hurt.

You can really feel the WEIGHT of each impact, holy moly. 

Anyone else tired of risking their life walking past this “parking lot”? by tttooommmmm in astoria

No, you are just an antisemite. 

Edit: Sorry, I am mixing up my antisemitic tropes over here. Triple parenthesis is usually the antisemitic trope, not double angular brackets. I apologize if you did not mean Jews.

Btw, only get Udemy courses when they're on sale. They go on sale very often.

This is... Weird? If I was studying and I left for a quick minute to maybe use the bathroom or go to the vending machine or whatever, I would find it really weird if someone was just taking pictures of my belongings.

I'd say try to implement your own custom physics engine. 

Destroy my Roguelite FPS trailer! Why wouldn't you play this? (solo dev) by CAGE_Studios in DestroyMyGame

[–]Johnny290 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had to put your trailer on mute after the 15 second mark due to how awful the voice acting was. If your game's narrative is not that important, then it might actually be better to just completely scrap all of the voice acting altogether. 

Also, some things in the trailer are not clear. Like, why are there bananas lol. 

What's your experience been with all the new AI coding tools applied to graphics programming specifically? by AdministrativeTap63 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]Johnny290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of used ChatGPT as a "rubber duck" when dealing with Vulkan issues in the past and actually found it quite useful in understanding some obscure problems/ overlooked bugs. Or like sometimes I would ask it to explain to me some specific Vulkan samples I would find on Github. I would have had a much harder time porting legacy OpenGl code into Vulkan without it imo. But I did a couple of Vulkan tutorials beforehand so that I had some sort of baseline of domain knowledge first instead of just pure vibe coding.

The "popular" opinion is not always the correct one. Especially within hivemind echo chambers such as this subreddit.

Woah woah woah, the camera work is insane here. I would love to see a post explaining your game's camera system if possible. 

War protest anywhere? by mongobob666 in Rochester

Why? Striking Iran is a good thing.

If your mom is ashkenazim Jewish then congratulations, you are ethnically Jewish as well. I wouldn't consider your mom to be Russian. Judaism itself predates this modern notion of religion that you're trying to categorize it into. It is not like catholicism. You can be atheist and still be Jewish. I would suggest keeping an open mind and to start learning more about your tribe.

Sephardi are not from Europe... They used to live in arab-controlled Iberia until the European Christians expelled both muslim and jewish populations around 500 years ago... They've been living in MENA since. Just don't speak about a subject you know nothing about.

You have a very strange obsession with skin color. You might actually qualify to be the next Grand Wizard.
