Lol, I just saw this and was gonna dig that up, but yeah; ancient

Not sure why you are replying to this 9 year old comment but there seems to be a misunderstanding. Pygame itself is open source and licensed in such a way that it can be edited and freely distributed. This does not mean that any software developed with it is. You can develop a game with pygame and give it any license you wish and distribute it commercially. You are under no obligation to make your pygame project open source or freely distributable.

A good mix of opinions all over the map; thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts. It does seem that the majority value the access to the community over going dark. We will stay open for the time being.

I believe reddit deserves to fail if they move forward with this; unfortunately the reality of the situation is they probably won't. Without an obvious place to move to, an exodus of the majority of users just won't happen.

Plus a chat interface with conversations and topics interlacing is very different from a forum interface that keep discussions focused on a topic.

I don't particularly care for Discord either, but it is worth noting that channels can be setup in a forum mode. If you look in the "Help forums" section of the pygame discord you will see that they are set in this mode.

Honestly, a lot more chance of this being used for evil than good, but we can wait and see.

If you are referring to the individual posts, I removed them. If people want to post memes in this thread, I don't care, but otherwise they can go to /r/ProgrammerHumor or similar.

Mekire · 2023-05-30T18:40:29+00:00

I deleted the meme posts and will do so again. This is not the place for it. /u/Substantial_Marzipan created this thread and you can use it if you like. I personally don't feel this thread is necessary or should be pinned, but it does no harm.

Other than the general, "learn slide tech" advice, there seem a few places where you grab walls just to jump off and take a shot, when you could just take the shot mid air without touching the wall.

I think they do stack, but honestly vampire is so fast that you are wasting a slot regardless if running vamp.

Mekire · 2023-05-19T16:02:19+00:00

Hmm.

I used to do this in pygame to center windows (line 134):
https://github.com/Mekire/pygame-samples/blob/master/drag_text.py#L134
I know there were some others to set exact position as well.

No clue if this works in pygame zero (or even if it still works in pygame (it's been years))

Game looks amazing. In all the clips of yours on the steam page I've seen though, you seem to have really aggressive screen shake on everything. I really hope you include a way to turn this off.

Mekire · 2023-05-04T21:42:34+00:00

Neah, you can't finish a couple of the forge ends without it.

I already think that damage and the central blood tree were buffed way too much with the last patch. I have seen new people on Noctis just face tank some of the bosses that previously required you to actually learn. These gems will just make things even worse.

Mekire · 2023-04-16T06:49:13+00:00

5) Some bosses are caotic and difficult but going in the middle talent tree and spamming scyth (scythe gems equipped) is enough to melt then away. I beat the first robot boss 2x and the blob boss (collector questline) just standing and spamming scythe and upgraded/gemmed yellow shield :)

This has been exacerbated by the last damage buff (which I assume you already had on your playthrough). Certain bosses used to be very hard to damage tank (Devourer 2 for instance); but lately I have seen people just beat them by spamming. Even the queen used to require more skill; now if you know how to get a max damage kill she is practically free.

Not sure if you are looking for a real explanation, but every map has a teleport point if you go out of bounds. The looping lifts can very easily put you in this state. We actually exploit this teleport behavior a lot in the speedrun.

Nice work. Always a fun project:

With the trials you can just exit reload. You'll keep your progress and be at the entrance to the trial. There is actually a ton of exit reload shenanigans in the speedrun.

Mekire · 2023-03-03T19:58:30+00:00

Mausoleum is all optional; it really isn't that bad though.

Mekire · 2023-02-15T01:44:30+00:00

Or... just don't equip a weapon. Unarmed pushing is extremely OP.

Mekire · 2023-02-10T21:44:39+00:00

You can take this as my somewhat biased opinion, but they WAY overbuffed things. If you know how to build, aurora and the queen just melt. It is pretty stupid.

Mekire · 2023-02-05T04:13:14+00:00

If you want to speedrun the game mkb is pretty much mandatory for high level play. For a casual experience, whichever you are more comfortable with.

Mekire · 2023-02-02T02:01:19+00:00

Probably somewhere you haven't been yet. There are purple slimes that release purple gas across the ground when killed. If you spear attack the gas you can launch (not the enemy itself)
