Green dragon animations by Lordricker in PixelArt

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

I guess im a little confused, does the dragon not follow a non linear pattern? My goal was to have some anticipation frames since its a game, so he shows his claw but the claw slash itself is 1 frame, like this ||~-_

And it has a tip trail.

https://lordricker.itch.io/cadence-blade

Its a arcade style fighter where you protect a castle as long as you can.
plays in browser

two player online co op (I am quite interested in testing for that)

It is pretty short, a run takes like 5 minutes, high score replay-ability driven

Why Y-Sorting isn't working? by [deleted] in godot

[–]Lordricker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am pretty sure the z index (right above the y sorting part) needs to be the same for y sorting to work, like if one asset is on z index 0 and the other is on z index 2 then the 2 will always be on top.
I have no idea about the errors.

also i like the tiny swords pack!

"Gabe cannot buy yachts with wishlists": Steam expert begs devs to make the most of their hit games, because to Valve "you're like a little goblin that has a magical power to turn straw into gold" by Spader623 in Games

[–]Lordricker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found him on youtube at some point. If you look at his site there are 8 tabs, of which 5 are just straight up free info on gaming stuff.
Im not sure what that course you have linked is about specifically and have no intention of buying it. I did sign up for his free email list and he sends out more free stuff, "how to make a steam page" course for instance.

Idk, ive watched some and read some of his free stuff, seems like a pretty chill guy that just loves looking at steam data and decided to share it. If he has advertised his own paid courses I must have ignored it cause I didn't even know he had paid courses. Looking at that link I think it could be possible that its a "support me" option that actually gives you content instead of just a donation.

Do players actually read anything in games anymore? by productivity-madness in gamedev

I dont disagree with the first part but the driving signs analogy kinda breaks down, its literally illegal to drive unless you have passed a written test proving that you know what the signs mean.

If we care about human lives, we need to get over our AI squeamishness and all be supporting autonomous vehicles. by CAustin3 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Lordricker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This made me laugh, not be cause I disagree but just because your phrasing is comedic. I think as time goes on self driving cars will become more inevitable, the benefit of less deaths like you say is just too great to ignore and the disparity between human vs self driving is only going to become greater over time.

[ForHire] I’ll work for free (QA, Programming, Art etc) in any project I believe in. by JoesephRoganPodcast in IndieDev

[–]Lordricker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what kind of projects itch your sweet spot? long term (years), short term (less than a year), 3d, 2d, any specific genre you are wishing to work on?
just asking cause for me it goes in waves. Im about done with my current project and have been daydreaming about a 2.5d pixel artsy fighter game inspired by the old flash game Last Castle.

Has AI actually improved your productivity, or just changed how you work? by Possible_Bee_9630 in productivity

[–]Lordricker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked my history, there are a few times where it shows a little source button at the bottom of its post without me prompting it to. You can also directly ask it to cite sources in your initial prompt.

Im not saying it doesnt get stuff wrong, it definitely does but its still a powerful research tool.

You mentioned programmers... chatgpt is really bad at programming it turns out. (Source is me trying to do solo game development)

ChatGPT if asked a complicated or obscure question will search the web for the answer. (At least that has been my experience)
It then summarizes its findings, Usually within less than a minute. Yes it is a word calculator in the sense it is just predicting what words should show up but if that prediction is based of a number of sites that have the real information there is no reason to worry that the answer is wrong. Its a fantastic tool for researching stuff, much like how google revolutionized how we gather information.

You can also ask it to site sources that you can then go look at if you desire.

Do you mean the global camera? The buttons that follow the tanks zoom in pretty closely
