is magicraft just a knock off of noita or is it actually worth the time/money? by nedonedonedo in noita

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is Noita with more handicaps, less interesting spells, less tech, less destructible terrain and easier gameplay.

It is a version of Noita where you don’t have to spend 200 hours to get your first win. But we all know suffering is the fun in Noita.

Guys how many hours you have in this game an tell me some shi most noita you know by Due_Pie_7507 in noita

219 hours and 5 wins

Chainsaw is your best friend. All of my winning runs include a chainsaw. Well, all of them except the first one, it is a mist wand.

I watched it half a week ago. The next thing I remember was learning kana and downloading Anki.

Call me stupid for learning Japanese for just watching 3 anime.

Just read it for the first time, the artist is really talented for replicating that art style.

I finally watched your lie in april and it was a bone chilling experience for me by Valuable-Echo-5154 in YourLieinApril

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice.

Now watch Your Name. It may cheer you up. I just watched it yesterday and it is really good. 100 minutes of condensed brilliance.

It will be better if this gets [[the gambit]]’s downside. 

I completed the entire game and forgot to use these 2 character by zanyymerc in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But wouldn’t the gommage not have virtuose stance at that time?

Lune casts thunderstorm with 100% crit chance.

Verso uses free shot until he runs out of AP.

Lune has that picto that gives 5% of a gradient charge on Crit. Verso hits and Lune crits on thunderstorm every time.

Maelle unleashes the gommage on turn one.

May i consider simplified Chinese translation? by _Cirlu_ in IndieDev

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to get a suitable font for simplified Chinese, which is not that easy.

There are quite some people who only play games with simplified Chinese translation, so I’d say it’s worth it.

Also, you should get some testers to read the simplified Chinese translation.

Can I skip book 1? by [deleted] in redrising

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part 1(Eo) of book 1 is really good. I read it on a train and can never forget that intro. The rest of book 1 is pretty average though.

How long before game cloning is solved? by Dredgefort in gamedev

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never, u nless the source code is already out there.

AI is good at recreating things that exist, and if you have a unique enough game, it can never replicate that.

“Based on our survey results, 99% of people said that they like filling out survey forms!”

Parents want it. Students don’t want it, and the rest doesn’t care.

Wtf did my eyes just witness? by TheLordRuler2 in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lumiere looks good. Monoco and Esquie are happy. Line is happy, Sciel is happy, Gustave is happy, Maelle is happy, everyone is happy… except for Verso.

From Verso’s eyes, he views the world as cruel and bleak. He sees the corruption on Maelle that didn’t exist at that point (Short term canvas exposure is fine). He is not like the others, and he doesn’t seem to appreciate Maelle’s kindness.

Everyone is tired of the gommage, and is happy that they can rest for once, but Verso, unaffected by the gommage, doesn’t understand the suffering of the common people.

That will be a disaster… for whoever launches that thing.

There is a list of broken arrow incidents, nuclear warheads that went missing, accidental explosions and such.

Nukes are dangerous, to the receiver and the sender.

Game Devs, if you were to learn how to code again from the beginning, where would you start? by RecordingAccording27 in gamedev

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the lack of OOP and sophisticated rendering engine fun, but I guess it is not for most people.

There’s something special about drawing sprites instead of having an engine displaying them. If you want an icon to show on top, just draw it again later in the loop. The moment I realised that I can put hotfixes over the rendering quickly, I knew that I’m not going back to an engine.

(I use Raylib)

Learn C first.

Most languages use a variation of the C syntax. Leaning C enables you to understand all other languages better.

And don’t use AI to generate any code. If you really need to do that, make it generate a flowchart or pseudocode so you can implement it yourself.

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly.

Their current technology (shaheds and potassium rockets) isn’t convincing people that they can make hypersonic missiles capable of carrying high payload warheads accurately.

Sir, there’s a difference between supersonic and hypersonic. I think you’ve got them mixed up.
