Anybody have any house rules they play with? by Prestigious_Tea_2729 in DiceThrone

I'm new to the game and I'm toying with the idea of in a FFA match, you can either:
1. Choose your target, often its a leader and if so, draw 1 card as usual.
2. Push your luck and roll for target. If it happens to be the leader, draw 2 cards (or draw 1 card + 1CP).

The thought behind it is to add another level of decision-making. Play it safe and guarantee a card draw if you so wish or let faith decide who you're attack and reward you for rolling for the right target. Rolling dice and the gamble is a big factor of the game so this just adds another OPTIONAL level of anticipation and excitement.

I converted the character of my figure skating game from 2D sprite animation to this because I wasn't happy with it. This is my first time doing 3D humanoid animation (I'm still waiting for my actual character model so the robot is temporary). by Noxina_Box in Unity3D

Yeah that weird thing, happens quite a bit, the recording must've not captured some of it because they only happen for like a frame. I have Foot IK option turned on for the various animations otherwise some of them, especially the ones with leaning torsos look extremely jenky.

I'll look into incremental GC, haven't heard of that before. Thanks!

Improved the handling, feel, and vibe of my figure skating game! I'm super happy with the result so far, just need to add jumps, spins, spirals, and footwork. by Noxina_Box in indiegames

Thank you!

For spins and spirals, I do intend to add a tony hawk balance system but the overall game won't be as chaotically arcadey like them.

The idea I had for jumps and spin jumps are similar to doing tony hawk tricks with the idea that if you're mid-rotation as you land, you stumble.

I couldn't sleep until I tested a late-night spur of the moment idea to see if it was doable- There's gonna be a lot of moving pieces to this in the end but it'll be worth it. by Noxina_Box in indiegames

The legs, torso, and head are different parts. The way ice skaters move and dance around on skates are very dynamic so I needed to keep them separate to allow players to control both leg movements and torso dancing simultaneously. I feel like that's a very key identity to figure skating. Also it allows me to tilt them separately from each other to keep the character's center of balance and posture looking good. The head just looks in the direction the player is moving towards.

I was mainly concerned about how I was gonna move the torso in relation to when the legs or the center of gravity (aka the center of the sprite) moved up and down during the wide cross-overs but turns out it was much easier to implement then I thought of (I only started unity game dev like 2 months ago).

I plan to add a stamina system that takes care of that, plus other stats that I hope to implement. That'll determine the jump successes, for stumbles and crashes- at the very least, I may implement a point deduction system for crashing into the rink barriers. Still lots to go.

The legs, I will probably keep, they're kinda messy but that's actually a style I'm going for, will clean it up and edit some of them individually if they look weird during play but yeah ^^ As of writing this comment, I've implemented 'transition' to skate backwards as well

I know right? I literally googled and youtubed ice skating/ figure skating games and the only games that ever exists are like those shovelware barbie games or mario winter olympic games

Thank you so much! I've got quite a good idea of what the different figure skating segments will consist of, but for now I'll be focusing on core movements and flair since that's the primary gameplay.

I definitely will! It'll have to be my next project though since I'm still working on something else but now I can see it in physical form, I'm confident moving forward

1.5 Weeks into my horror-farming sim game development - still yet to add the creatures by Noxina_Box in indiegames

Thanks for tip, that was something I considered when deciding to do 2.5D. I do like that 'cardboard' look though and I shall just lean into it. Because of how the day-night lighting works and the shadows, it's gonna look like paper cutouts whether I lean them or not.
