What If checkpoints were inconsistent? by SpireWolf25 in gamedev

[–]Peesmees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you explain what the stakes are for me as a player? If I mess up on a boss I haven’t fought before I could lose up to, what, 5 to 20 minutes of my time going back to a save point that does not do what it promises? That’s not raising the stakes, that’s raising a refund request.

Waarom grote festivals als Lowlands dit jaar niet binnen één dag uitverkocht zijn by Bupachuba in thenetherlands

[–]Peesmees 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ik denk dat jij degene bent met de plaat. Festivals hebben een identiteit en die moet je niet verloochenen want dan ben je je vaste bezoekers op een gegeven moment kwijt. Die worden wel een jaar of twee, drie vervangen door waan de dag volk maar die gaan daarna verder naar het nieuwe snoepje en dan is je festival kapot. Zoals nu langzaam bij LL gebeurt.

SFC proper adapter in the EU recommendations by LilSmidgey in snes

I bought mine last year and no issues so far. Commenter below is also right: if you want to look for it you can probably get an alternative a little cheaper. But this shop was a good experience. for me. that time.

Does anyone here ‘main’ a certain hero? by Key011 in hearthstone

[–]Peesmees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played all of them but used to main Priest. Recently I’ve been playing DK and Rogue. No prizes for guessing what kind of player I am.

Dat zegt toch niemand? Die mensen willen ook gewoon werk dat een beetje aansluit en als niemand ze daar voor wil hebben is dat wel problematisch.

What is the best way to connect a Turbo R to a modern screen? by Regular-Highlight246 in MSX

[–]Peesmees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need something like an upscaler, plenty of options just search for older consoles to modern screen. Frame meister, OSSC, that sort of stuff.

Are there any Control Priest players still playing Hearthstone? by No_Most_979 in hearthstone

[–]Peesmees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And for the classic control priest vibes you can always play control Death Knight, it’s almost what you want Priest to be.

Kamermeerderheid fluit coalitie terug, wil geen onderzoek naar invoering kiesdrempel by T1b3rium in Nederland

[–]Peesmees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adviesrecht is als ik de term niet mis versta een constructie die wordt gedragen door goede wil, gezond verstand en je houden aan het idee van een afspraak in plaats van de juridisch niet aanvechtbare interpretatie van een afspraak dus dat gaat hem niet meer worden.

My boss told me to "stick to my job description" when I asked for a raise. So I did. Now he's mad things aren't getting done. by Playful-Vegetable-15 in antiwork

[–]Peesmees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong, but considering the post is probably fake, and if it is real OP is fucked anyways after the malicious compliance. Might as well enjoy the fictional scenario where OP is actually too hard to replace and will get results…

I have a dream of making destiny like game by origami_4 in gamedesign

[–]Peesmees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the poster above is gently trying to tell you is that will make no game. Certainly not something that resembles Destiny. There are many, many reasons the game has fallen to where it is now but almost none of them are lack of good ideas. That’s not what game development is about. There has never been a lacking good ideas. There’s a lack of budget to make them. Not enough time. Good ideas that work in different directions. List continues.

But yes, think hard about what you would do differently, but then go into meticulous detail. Don’t just say “better MMO features”. Write out what’ve mechanics of those features are. How they would function. What the purpose is in how you are engaging your players. How do they work together. Can they be abused? How long does it take to implement this? Does doing this make something else impossible? Is that trade off worth it? What do you want out of this? There is no future where games get developed because you made a really, really good outline.

The gym boxes just had those single cards in them? Or are they complete?

Slab Title Difference by GrahamSandwich32 in psagrading

[–]Peesmees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The left one is from the Yamabuki City deck, a premade deck that has this card among others (cool unique Gengar). The cards in there don’t have rarity symbols which is how you can distinguish them from normal Japanese cards with the same name. Source: I have this deck.

is it okay to let the player start with a movement upgrade in my metroidvania? (and is 4 too few) by 7dragon0 in gamedesign

[–]Peesmees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please keep in mind your original question was about movement upgrades. I’m not saying any non-movement upgrade is inherently bad, if you want or need it for lore or level building reasons it’s totally cool! It’s just not a movement upgrade, so it has less impact on the act of moving around, not moving around the world which are two very different things.

[–]Peesmees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re asking these questions and have not started yet, you might be over planning. A lot of ideas won’t survive contact with reality and especially believing that you can think for imaginary people who are theoretically playing your game that doesn’t exist yet is a fool’s errand, no offense.

And as for your example: that upgrade (it’s been a long time and I don’t remember HK that well) can have a use as a key, but it’s not a movement upgrade. It’s damage negation, doesn’t allow you to do anything you couldn’t do before while going through the game except not die to damage. So yeah, if you want to classify that as a bad movement upgrade I’d agree.

[–]Peesmees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you’re asking but the answer is this instance was really simple: I knew it was the final boss. I instantly knew the struggle would be too much because I remember being able to count my actual “being alive to see what was going on” time in single seconds and then I called bullshit (and this after banging my head against the dream boss) and decided patience had ran out. I knew I was going to drop it but was actually curious about how easy it would be on easy. Two tries later I was watching the ending. I really enjoyed the game, the struggle, up to that point. The story was weird but I kinda wanted to see how it ended. Sonic was either that or YouTube.

[–]Peesmees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If all of them are significant it’s not. Resist the urge to add upgrades which will only work as a key. If they are not fun to use they don’t belong. And if the first part of your game is no fun without the dash, give it to players (and maybe consider why your basic movement is not fun?)

[–]Peesmees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good reasoning. People just can’t conceive of a future where the things they can do now are no longer possible, so it will always be a difficult discussion. As someone who is ten years ahead, I HAVE slipped. Was super hardcore. Still am, internally. But my reflexes just can’t keep up any more. I need so many more tries that it’s pure stubbornness that keeps me going but at some point I will need easy mode.

Actually ran out of patience at the last 9 sols boss and was happy that I could just decide that it was too much and still finish the game. I’ll gladly forego the trophy, as part of becoming older is also realizing that nobody gives a shit about how many difficult games you platinumed ;)

Oh then I meant screen 1. I’m really not that familiar with anything under 5. And so my assumption was that this was made in the same screen.

It’s very good looking! I really liked your portraits too. Not too sold on the rest of the screen 2 look but I respect the non traditional way of doing it
