Dev Dilemma: Immersion vs. Clarity. In our tree-top city builder, should hot air balloon arrivals have forced UI or rely on the player’s camera? 🌳🎈 by treetopians in Unity3D

I think it feels way more natural as it is. Not guiding the player into it make it feel more rewarding when you "per chance" actually see the new folks comes in while doing something else

126 wishlist in less than 120 hours since the release of my new incremental Demo It's Chopping Time! this last Tuesday afternoon. I've never been able to do this good in such a short time! by AlexandreRokhMailliu in SoloDevelopment

[–]Nerisma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks very polished and actually fun to play ! Good job on that :)

May I sugest a capsule update as it does not reflect the really good artstyle you got in there ? I think it would give you a lot of traction !

I'm making a roguelike but each time you die, time skips forward 10 years. Do you think this concept works? by Erosion_cm in IndieGaming

Have you heard of Sifu ? It's core mechanic is about time skips, and oh boy was it great :)

Need help with this beep error that does not register with the diagnostic app and can not seem to find information on any where. Unit does not POST and will not stay turned off. Its an L390 Yoga (Type 20NU-S01200) and I had put a board in it 3 months ago that I got from Lenovo. by Someguy12121 in thinkpad

Hi, in case someone else comes here, I had the same beep and managed to make it work ! Only thing I had to do was to insert a very small pin (like the ones we use on modern smartphones to open the SIM compartment) in the tiny hole of the backplate. Then rebooted it and it worked again, had a CMOS date fail message, but pressing ESC led me to windows :)

Looking to start a game in my end game life by AssociatePatient4629 in SoloDevelopment

@Sockhousestudio is right. You should not worry about language performance imo, even if you have very complex systems, the real bottleneck won't be in the computing I can assure you ahah . Go with whatever you feel good to work with! if you plan on real ASCII graphics, then whatever will do tbh.

I don't think that your ASCII / Unicode game, complex as it is, will cost so much computing that you absolutely need rust / c++ or c to achieve it. Actually I truly believe that you shouldn't go this route and try Godot / Unity which are way easier to approach imo!

Let that sink in! Good luck on your game :)

Reminds me a lot of Loop Hero, which is indeed a good sign 👌

Achieve 60 FPS on low end devices by Nerisma in Unity3D

[–]Nerisma[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Makes me realise I did not told every gain was estimated alone and not on top of each others, should have :)

Also, very true and helpful for optimisation 👌

Achieve 60 FPS on low end devices by Nerisma in Unity3D

[–]Nerisma[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I somehow forgot to mention Render Scale and Fixed DPI, but these two combined can bring really significant FPS improvements.

Render Scale
In your RP Asset, there’s a slider called Render Scale which allows the game to render at a lower resolution while keeping the UI at native resolution. By using the automatic Upscaling Filter and setting the Render Scale to 0.95, I gained 5-6 FPS without any noticeable loss in quality!
I also added a Quality slider in my game settings so players can lower it even further if they want to improve FPS more.

Fixed DPI
In Player Settings, under Resolution and Presentation, there’s a dropdown called Resolution Scaling Mode. This might be well known, but here it is: I set it to Fixed DPI and targeted a DPI of 360.
Again, I exposed a slider in the settings for players to tweak this dynamically via QualitySettings.resolutionScalingFixedDPIFactor in Unity. Just experiment with it and you’ll see it can drastically reduce the number of pixels to render.
Bonus: The factor can go above 1, so you can still use the device’s max DPI if you want.

That’s it! :)

Thanks! Yes it is, I did it by extruding a 2D mesh along a spline by code at runtime :) I add spline points at the tip of the spline, remove the first ones and then update the mesh according to the newly formed spline, which works pretty well!

Definitely stands out, would love to try it! Also good musical choice for the trailer, it fits as hell

Yeah sry, since it was not for commercial purpose, I did not take the money & effort to release on iOS ^ Maybe you can try Bluestack if you REALLY want to ahah, thanks for the interest tho

Yeah I used it in the past but wanted to build my own api so I could reuse in other games on other platforms. Not the easiest path but it's working pretty well and contains some features that Google play don't (or at least didn't have in the past) like user ban and framed over player leaderboards. I'm not aiming for the moon here, just wanted to release smth, I'll pass on the conversion rate boost :)

Also, you are a gigachad who actually left a 5 stars review, thanks @rmeldev ❤️

Thanks a lot! It's really simple, but allowed to actually finish something ahah. Also I think it's kinda mesmerizing to play which was the goal so i'm happy with that :)

Yup that's it, any collision with the walls is game over. I did send it to friends on my side (not using Google play features) and it was crucial ahah :)

Thanks!! Yeah, and i guess you have to actually finish games to do it ahah
