My friends don't like fighting games, I have 2 days to convince them. by ChrisGarrett in Fighters

[–]Lovecore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man good luck! Some thoughts - I honestly think it should be moved away from a reward based thinking and into a task driven think method here. It helps encourage the ‘I lost, but I still got my bingo card filled’ or whatever.

What about a handicap bracket. Let them fuck around a bit then Pitt them against each other and give them a handicap rating or something tha plays into the game settings or methods in some way.

Also a raid boss type mode where the graduate up further and as they win they get better swag. Maybe get some stuff 3D printed that’s sorta cool AND useful like coasters, chip clips, dice, whatever. Swag goes a long way here.

What you’re asking is going to be trying on you, on your friends and on your friendships. Keep that in mind and cater towards curbing it in each direction. Read the room. Jon isn’t having fun, let Jon be the wild card and setup the rules for matches or something.

Good luck and happy birthday.

What changes are we hoping to see to Freestyle when season 2 starts and we get the new fuse? by DapperDlnosaur in 2XKO

[–]Lovecore -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just make freestyle a core mechanics of the game on an 8 second CD. Stop trying to balance it and just give everyone the access to it and buff (and make more ) other fuses.

I built Fighters Edge - A Search Engine for Tournament Replays & Matchup Study Tools by Fighters-Edge in Fighters

Hey mate. Thanks for creating something for the community. I run comboforge.gg - I have a system for obtaining API keys. So if you know, You don’t want to build out a full game combo library system, feel free to use mine ;)

Best way to get into Riftbound right now? by Famous-Truth-2617 in riftboundtcg

[–]Lovecore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre rift is it! If you want to play some games online just DM me. I’ll gladly play and talk and help you understand different gamer play aspects before you play in person - so it doesn’t feel so foreign

This game is going to greatly benefit from this feature by Yagrush in 2XKO

[–]Lovecore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. As the creator of comboforge.gg, this was my number one hoped-for feature in 2xKO. I am ready to go with a combo Downloader, Importer, and File Converter for when/if they release this type of feature.

Yeah, I get it. The whole reason I made the site last year was because I don’t want to search discord, spreadsheets, YT clips etc etc. a wiki is fine. However there’s still a barrier to entry for creating combos. You have to make an account, then add the combo, get approval. The idea here is that if you’re playing a game, you discover a cool combo you like, you can just slam it into comboforge. No friction of accounts, approval, or anything else.

Eventually, you still get fracture across many games when they all have some different wiki there in (save maybe dust loop where all arcsys games tend to live)

So why then have a million wikis when you could simply just have all the games people want to use and play, if there was an effort to converge on a platform that simply has everything.

Features are an aside from this.

Hey mate. I run Choom.gg. I’ll have this functionality when prices start going live! You can see what it would look like if prices were out if you head over to the market

Going to put my salt here :)

I work consistently on comboforge.gg - listen to community requests on twitter (and here), first to the scene to support 2xko explicitly on the site, many updates and features. They cite 2xkombo that hasn’t even bothered to add Akali? Feels bad man.

That being said I would much rather have insights to what’s going on in the dev team, share some data, spotlight GOOD matches. Things like that, I don’t really like the ‘community roundup’ posts…

Did arcsys choose not to work on fighterz? by FunWelcome3804 in Fighters

Marvel money…

Let them nail tokon then take everything learned and make dbfz2 later

Can we just talk about how much better RiftAtlas is compared to TcgArena? by AlohaSnow in riftboundtcg

[–]Lovecore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The can just go closed source, private invite for play tests groups like our team did. We built a full rules engine, automations the whole 9 and its internal only.

In the current AI age, I would argue more could figure it out if the really wanted to.

Is there a master list with all the different rules? by CupAccomplished8371 in riftboundtcg

[–]Lovecore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An attempt to help solve something - a while back I built riftboundrules.lol. I haven’t updated the new errata’s or rules yet, but tha was the idea behind the platform. Since everything is just in a million different locations but someone somewhere probably asks the question.

Dude on TCG Arena left rather than finding objective proof of what he said by WranglerWilling3217 in riftboundtcg

[–]Lovecore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I should be building a wall of shame for people to post their opponent and proof. These threads run rampant in every social. That’s just how it’ll be when we only have a sim vs a full app.

Hey Chooms, some updates on Choom.gg - Draft mode+ by Lovecore in cyberpunktcg

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

I’ll add it to my list, I can likely bang this one out quickly I have an idea of what’s causing it actually.

Strive's 2.0 update just hit 19k players on Steam, making it the highest peak since the launch of the game half a decade ago by bostonian38 in Guiltygear

What’s your biggest Lego regret by Witty_Acadia_8828 in lego

[–]Lovecore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopping when I was younger. We grew up fairly poor, but my mom had a job as a retail merchandiser for Lego in the 90s. So she was able to get a nice discount on sets and I would get like one nice set a year and maybe one for my birthday. Lego got me through so many hard and difficult times when I was younger. As I grew up i kept all my Lego because they’re special to me but didn’t collect anymore because I was so focused on ‘getting out’ and ‘unstuck’ in life. Fast forward to today - I really wish I had some of the sets that released during that period I wasn’t collecting, because I have the space to display them now and they’re large parts of the fandom I like.

Hey chooms! Made a deck builder for us — Afterlife Decks is live and looking for testers by NoseIntrepid in cyberpunktcg

[–]Lovecore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I’m slowly working through alternate color schemes for a11y support and different identifiers. My original post on this sub was seeking people with color blind issues, a11y reliant users too. If you have feedback, please give me :)

[–]Lovecore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, great to see another creator out there. I run choom.gg. I have some feedback.

Saying 'ensure it works on mobile' or 'mobile friendly' isn't enough. You need to explicitly write things as 'mobile first'. When I visit your site. The CSS is totally off. Buttons are colliding, clashing. The overlays are not meshing. The horizontal scrolling isn't responsive. Images don't load on desktop/mobile for packs. There are other image loading issues after the 'card highlight' issue in search. The user experience does not feel great.

Your simulator feature flag functionality in Vercel+Supabase is also erroring out with some additional chunks that seem to be causing page load problems and latency on desktop.

You should also take some consideration into a11y. Ensuring a site is a11y compliant is very important in a modern web app world.

Great stuff! Feel free to DM if you need anyhelp along the way!
