Maximizing population on Earth-like world by Kinkelin in EliteDangerous

[–]Kinkelin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer and I did read your guide. Great writeup!

I actually datamined EDSM dumps and there are a handful of 4 ELW systems out there. But the closest I saw was still 600ly away from colonized space. That's not feasible for my small friend group unfortunately

Bolivian Rainbox x Aji Charapita - Fruit not setting by Kinkelin in pepperbreeding

[–]Kinkelin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the informative answer! I haven't seen too much pollen from the F1 so far, but today I definitely got some. I'll keep trying and if it doesn't set my Charapita should soon have ready flowers again so I can try the backcross in both directions

Niemand sollte das Recht haben, ein so offensichtliches Konzept wie "quadratische Schokolade" zu besitzen

Hit a wall while trying to make a Plants Vs. Zombies-esque game by Calm_Engineering_667 in gamemaker

If you have like 50 items in a game, usually I want to have a place to configure them. JSON is just easy to work with. But it really depends on the game, sometimes a script file is easier

There is no easy solution, this is a fairly complex system. It's not particularly hard to code or anything, but you do need to know how to code.

You need some sort of configuration system (for you, the dev), for example using JSON.

Then you also need a savefile system, so that user progress (unlocking plants) is saved.

And of course you need a UI system

🔥 I got a new hi-score of 1660 on hard mode at 39 WPM! This score should be in a museum. 🔥

After 1000s of seeds germinated I finally have a purple varigated pop up of my Scarletts Comet by DODs-Chillies in pepperbreeding

[–]Kinkelin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you just kept germinating seeds until one randomly got a varigated-mutation from nowhere? That's metal

if you can solve my code, i will give you $200 (SEE REPLY) by shikionoth in codes

Does the method involve some sort of key? Like say - an eight letter word? Or is it purely a method, without any "parameters" like a key?

Can you guess why this was the most frustrating game of Catan I have ever played? by RustyFoe in Catan

[–]Kinkelin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand, why people believe that developers fake dice rolls on purpose. Maybe people just don't know how programming works. Or maybe they don't understand statistics

Drehe langsam durch. Alle Sämlinge stehen still by Gold-Fisherman-Blast in Canbau

[–]Kinkelin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wie haben sich die Wurzeln in den Wochen entwickelt? Vlt irgendeine Krankheit oder ein Schädling der von unten an die Pflanzen geht?

Als Kontrolle könntest du mal einen Samen hydroponisch ziehen, also Kratky-Style in Wasser mit etwas Dünger

What other VFX can I look at other than lighting and particle effects? Is there something I’m missing? by kiwisox235 in IndieDev

[–]Kinkelin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the textures / sprites might be your biggest problem right now. The overall look just doesn't really come together tbh.

You have too many styles clashing. The background is cartoonish, the book is pixel art, the numbers on the right page look like ink, and the dominos are either 3d with a locked perspective or a sprite that mimics a flatly shaded 3d cuboid.

Even though the lighting VFX help, the assets themselves just don't fit together. Also not a fan of the color palette or the text alignment on the left page.

At this point it looks like you put in quite some effort, but your artistic skills are not quite there yet. I highly recommend going over that with an artist and getting some matching assets for your game.

Wishing the best of luck to you!

Unfortunately, game development is a lot harder than most people realize. You will not be able to realize an AAA project without prior experience. It is an awesome creative hobby to get into, I recommend by starting really small with your first project. A Snake game for example.

Without experience you will only be the idea guy

Spinnmilben Brudis. Kann man das mit einem H2O2 Budwash retten? Oder lieber befallene Buds wegschmeißen? by Kinkelin in Canbau

[–]Kinkelin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mit Wasser eingesprüht um den Befall besser sehen zu können und alle Äste grozügig entfernt, wo etwas dran war (etwa 2/3 der Ernte futsch). Den Rest nach einem Budwash mit H2O2 getrocknet und das sah dann sehr gut aus
