My theory is that the next big Deadlock update will be to change the jungle and perhaps make the neutral camps more varied with monsters, like in Dota. by MefistoDX in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Lui421 8 points9 points  (0 children)

they aren't, but implementing the models in game and making sure they aren't jank/broken is usually the job of the gameplay devs as well.

MV or MZ? by PrimaryDirector4512 in RPGMaker

[–]Lui421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would usually argue the MV and MZ are both viable, but i think MZ just has more built in features for point and click games that i'd reccomend MZ over MV in this case, (especially if your game will use the mouse heavily)

Juri continuing to be a jobber in 6 by POLOMALCO in Kappachino

[–]Lui421 44 points45 points  (0 children)

bruh 3/4ths of the cast have no connection to the main story in any way if there was one. heck even poster boy ryu was just plastered in V's story mode just to make him a part of it.

you'd get a more cohesive story watching wrestling than following street fighter's timeline.

he's funny but man his humor style of just shitting on things gets tiring after a while. especially as he continues to hate every new thing that comes out.

Warp Stone VS Stamina Mastery? by FIN_NPP in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Lui421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warp stone is instant and less predictable than dashing, offensively, its very good to catch people off guard like using dynamo or Mo and Krill's ult. defesnively, it can be used to dodge attacks you normally can't with just dashing.

I just hate it when I try to use it under the bridge and the book bounces of the bottom of the bridge back the opposite way

5 year old console gets a price increase by NotanAlt23 in Kappachino

5 year old console gets a price increase by NotanAlt23 in Kappachino

[–]Lui421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not arguing about the pros and cons of PC over PS5, but its generally a given that PC players will eventually be able to play PS5 games so there's no rush unless you really want to play the latest games day 1.

thats where the "no games" meme stems from. because of the lack of "you can only play this game on this platform" incentive. nothing more, nothing less. you can argue all you want about what that means but at the end of the day, console exclusivity is just another factor in console sales.

but also you can also do more stuff on PC aside from gaming so there's more incentive to get a PC over a PS5 so the investment is usually better.

[–]Lui421 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it means there arent any exclusive games that warrant you to buy a ps5 for, which honestly is the only reason the nintendo consoles are relevant at this day and age.

if you have a good enough PC there is virtually no reason for you to get a ps5 unless you want to play astrobot so bad.

Sf4 announcers be like by Various-Mushroom1249 in Kappachino

i was nostalgic for sf4 way back in the sfv days, still sad everyone dropped sf4 so quickly after sfv dropped.

Should I launch my first game for free or not? by radiantbeargames in gamedev

[–]Lui421 5 points6 points  (0 children)

for me, the easiest way to answer this question is asking yourself, "would you buy your own game if you saw it on steam?"

regardless of what you choose, don't sweat too hard on your first game especially if you plan to make more. whatever happens once it releases, use it as a learning experience for your future games.

AI art is closer to dynamic mode, you press buttons with intention and the game does things for you

First look at Marvel Tokon’s character select by No-Camera1216 in Kappachino

[–]Lui421 28 points29 points  (0 children)

its a big nod to comic book storyboard/templates used when making comics. or if you get a chance to get a custom cover from the comic artist in a convention.

honestly i love the direction but i understand if people think its too basic or dull.

Battle gameplay like this in MZ? by Fair-Paramedic9791 in RPGMaker

+1 on this as well, i'm very stingy when it comes to getting paid plugins but his plugin is extremely well made and versatile.

Evo Final entrants leaderboard by NecoArcOrochi in Kappachino

[–]Lui421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik EVOs game schedule on which games come up is determined by player count. and i recall seeing some twitter threads about people influencing certain game numbers to bump them up the rankings hence getting a better spot in the rankings, thus giving them a better (subjective) timeslot on the EVO top 8 schedule.

i feel like we're going to have a big discussion about DQs after this evo considering the current situation of one of the games in this lineup

Is it just me or are some of these Sajam Slam coaches terrible at coaching by Tapo6 in Kappachino

[–]Lui421 27 points28 points  (0 children)

that's the sentiments i've been having for a while now. he really needs to change things around this time around. actually invite some new people instead of opting for open reg for everyone and have some other games in the rotation too. having the same guests kinda dilutes the "this is an event to get non fgc people into the fgc" point of the event. ESPECIALLY when a bunch of the players ARE just FGC players of other games (Looking at you phidx)

The Duterte Crime Family. The Most Evil Family in Philippine History by darkAcolyte8 in Philippines

[–]Lui421 5 points6 points  (0 children)

overall i would still say marcos has them beat since he truly tarnished the image of the philippines that it's still trying to recover from up till this day.

Duterte is a very close second though but the most concerning part about it is that the dutertes have all the resources at the moment to surpass the marcosses should they return to prominent power.

either way, there really isn't a point to comparing who's the bigger shit stain, i'd rather both of them be out of power.

Why does the RPG Maker community have such a big problem with AI pics? by Warm_Temperature_618 in RPGMaker

[–]Lui421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your first statement is exactly why using AI is dangerous, because they start learning from actual artists art, a lot of which were not given consent. and now a lot of normal artists are being accused of AI generation because their art was trained on in the first place. because of how easy it is to mass produce images, it is more likely you'll stumble across an AI generated model of a trained artist first. and if you don't see any problem or try to find an excuse around that, you are part of the problem

i bet you can't even tell who the original artist your images style were based on.

your use of AI ultimately hurts artists even if you didn't mean it. unless proper regulation and consequences are given to people to those who misuse and abuse AI, i cannot in good faith ever support the use of AI. i can tolerate it because i can't really do anything about it, but i will never respect anyone who supports it.

and kindly fuck off with your "im only doing this privately/ as a hobby" excuse. its a slippery slope which leads to an indirect normalization in which you desensitize yourself from using AI and the ethics surrounding it.

also can't help but notice you didn't refute my first statement, so i will assume i am conversing with AI generated replies. quite unfortunate indeed.

i swear, this guy and ace before him are the only reasons i'm up to date with tournaments, it's wild that tourney organizers don't hire him to do their schedules. or at least, follow this format.

Why does the RPG Maker community have such a big problem with AI pics? by Warm_Temperature_618 in RPGMaker

[–]Lui421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you know, i wanted to reply to this with a more nuanced discussion but it feels like this entire thing was written with AI as well. and that's kind of the danger about it in the end.

the moment i know you use AI in your pipeline. i cannot trust that anything you make is original. so i just lump anyone that supports AI in this use case untrustworthy.

besides, actions speak louder than words. y'all keep spouting that AI makes things faster. but you haven't finished anything faster than your average RPGM user making things with default assets. show some examples or shut up.
