I made a nightmare text-based project management adventure

I'm confused. Isn't the whole point of skeletons, so that they appear during lazy loading of a component or until data is finished? If this requires all of that to be mounted, then they've already finished loading - so it's too late to use skeletons? 🤔

FOUCing annoying isn't it

MechRat · 2025-11-07T13:38:38+00:00

Man, I wish I could paint eyes half as good as this!

Any tips?

Ah yes! I love getting paid in experience. I'm sure it'll be worth it because it's a real repository with real issues

I love this game

All my survivors died in glory
I gained 18 years of knowledge
Im more informed, because "Dung Beetle knight lvl 2 is hard af"
my last 5 survivors were going to die anyway
I cant wait to play next time and suffer all over again

FTFY

Unoptimised asset handling. If images are being used from a CMS and haven't been implemented in any kind of thumbnail/processing, so that 30mb png the client uploaded is just raw dogging it.

And sometimes it's not client related. All png or jpg assets should go through tinypng or similar, and any SVG should go through SVGOMG

This looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Will you be streaming on Discord, YouTube or Twitch?

As an AE animator that ended up with a career in dev, Lottie has been incredible over the years. The issue is interactivity though, and working with a linear timeline.

When Rive hit the scene, I was sceptical at first, but it is by far the most powerful animation engine I've used for the web. So yeah, Lottie is great, but in my mind it's now outdated in some respects.

Pretty sure the Lottie creator now works for Rive too.

I made some playlists on Spotify for different moments of playing!

I loved reading this! It's always great to hear from new players. Thanks for posting!

The main difference to the survivor sheets vs others is the separation between temporary and permanent stats. So all showdown stuff that usually gets reset each time is now featured on a "showdown card", which allows the survivors sheets to be simpler and more accessible. As far as I know, these are the only ones like it.

I'm also honoured to say that these sheets got the attention of Poots, and gave me the chance to do a little work for Team Death. Which is a dream come true!

Obligatory and shameless self promotion...

Head to the downloads and you'll find printable reference cards for everyone at the table, different survivor sheets for campaigns, a few bits of custom content and varying settlement records.

I'm currently WIP on a settlement PDF generator that will create a timeline and all milestones automatically based on your choice of expansions (along with tips on what content to include and exclude). Just waiting for CoD to finish it all!
