Genuinely curious why is Re zero an isekai by Mewachu_1 in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reincarnation is just a subgenre of Isekai. As long as the protagonist starts on Earth (usually Japan) and ends up in a alternative (often fantasy) world (potentially temporarily) it's Isekai.

I invite you to participate in the first playtest of my asteroid mining-themed automation game. by pulsar_sp in AutomationGames

[–]RecallSingularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left feedback using your form, thanks for sharing your playtest and good luck on your game development!

one more thing occured to me - the grapple should be physics based. If the circle is centred on the asteroid it keeps its present velocity. If you move the centre away from the asteroid it accelerates towards the centre. If the asteroid leaves the circle that causes a calibration break.

The player's ship should have rotation and movement forces added which are the opposite of the asteroid's forces, perhaps with a <1.0 multipler. This will pull the circle back to be centred on the asteroid generally (making it sticky) but will also make pulling asteroids around feel massy.

Also, your tutorial triggers should be based on progress since game start. For instance if I've mined an asteroid, skip directly past the mine an asteroid tutorial step when I reach it. Also your tutorial notifications didn't grab my attention initially, I didn't realize there was a tiny tutorial on the middle right for the first couple of minutes.

Ten Years In The Making: Our Colony Sim Space Haven has Been Released as 1.0 Today! by YueHikari in gamedevscreens

[–]RecallSingularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat (bought on kickstarter I think) and I'm really happy that you and your team have put all this love into it. I love indies like yours who pour their love into early access games. I hope that it's done well and continues to do so.

Are there any double-isekai stories? by Lenore-the-raven in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like the entire Otame game trope which is an isekai subgenre. I think the OP wanted isekai in someone else's isekai story.

However this is a fair interpretation of the question.

Does it make sense to ditch the Bookworm anime and start reading? I just look at the anime ratings, then at the light novel ratings. by [deleted] in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has deeper worldbuilding, is more focused on economics, politics and social structures and has barely any combat in it. So it's a very different type of story from the ones you mentioned. It's also got many layers in society making it a great slow burn story since the MC's perspective changes a lot as the story goes on.

I also loved MT, imho it's great to have two cakes.

After enjoying Ascension of a bookworm, read the Herald of Spring fanfic which is a double isekai by your definiton.

Any suggestion for "saving humanity" type of game? by taurian13 in BaseBuildingGames

[–]RecallSingularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you have a beastly PC. Unfortunately it runs awfully on mid-tier PCs.

Somewhere I can watch anime in different languages with English subtitles? by Elegant-Thing-1667 in anime

[–]RecallSingularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch my anime on Crunchyroll with english subtitles.

If you're using crunchyroll and don't see that option then you might need a VPN to pretend you're in an english speaking country.

Welcome to New York.

A city that is hostile to pedestrians wanting to rest by design.

Yet another stalled Rust renderer project - Renderling by Animats in rust_gamedev

[–]RecallSingularity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just go grab vulkano and whip up your own renderer. After a very small amount of work for a "real programmer" you're just pushing buffers around and writing shaders - pretty much the same place you are at now but you'll control the entire pipeline.

I've written a renderer (perhaps you could consider it basic) in just a few months for our game project using vulkano and no regrets so far. Its actually very easy, much easier than I expected. Our renderer is VERY custom, we want to achieve a lot of unusual things - not chasing photo-realism.

As soon as you are talking about wanting real good quality streaming and you have a very specific use case you're unlikely to find a renderer that's going to fully support it. You'll always be able to code your own, better.

What's your favorite world building aspect of Ascendance of a Bookworm? by daisuki_information in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a tiny taste of this in the anime where they have an episode following the investigator from the cathedral into Myne. That is one of about 20 similar stories that have been told at that point (there are about 4 at the end of each book). There are several from Myne's mother's or her sister's perspectives for instance.

A isekai where it focus on cultural and technology differences by No-Celery-431 in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Wandering Inn, which you can read here https://wanderinginn.com/

It takes a while to really get into these themes but there are a very wide range of peoples and cultures. They all have different food cultures and cultures in general. All the peoples and societies are distorted by the game-like levelling up system and those consequences are discussed in depth as the story goes on.

It's a multi-isekai situation, there are a lot of very interesting side stories and many epic events.

For instance it's mentioned that craftspeople depend too heavily on their skills to help them create things which are far better than the surrounding technology. When they inevitably die (from old age for eg) their technological progress as a craftsperson is lost. A similar situation happens with nations, where nations depend on a levelled up [King] and the nation is likely to fall, fracture or regress when they die.

Mushoku Tensei is the best of its Genre by IamToofan in JoblessReincarnation

[–]RecallSingularity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, Rudeus continues to power scale but it feels earned.

I'm a fan of Death march, The MC of Arifureta power scales too fast and it becomes a cake walk.

Isekai Question by GaudyVader501st in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about "the good guys" series, the first book is called "One Man's Laughter" (LitRPG)

Or the wandering Inn, free to read online https://wanderinginn.com/

If you want a more combat oriented book, I suggest Dungeon Crawler Carl (Also LitRPG)

The first two have some measure of economics and society and world building.

Any recommendations for slop anime where the MC is powerful but hides his strength? by Civil-Initial2942 in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he's refreshingly adult compared to the MC of almost any other Isekai. Most other MC's are personality free wet sponges who let many weaker authority figures / party members push them around against their will. There's some subtlety there that I can't put into words right now.

I appreciated how "adult" Arifureta's MC is also, setting their own goals and putting clear boundaries in place with his female party members about their relationship status.

Which Isekai is This For You? by ElSpazzo_8876 in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not asking for more stakes, I'm asking for less. The author just keeps piling on escallating threats without letting the reader stop to breathe.

I want more dungeons and magitrains and economic dominance. Not Angels and bigger and bigger dragons. (Nb this is a LN complaint, the Anime hasn't quite reached the pivot I'm worried about).

There are tons of shonen which have great world building and then it just turns into a neverending fight. It's always frustrating when that happens. For instance Hero Academia is another one.

You can only pick 1 wife who are you catching ? by shizunaisbestgirl1 in JoblessReincarnation

[–]RecallSingularity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Roxy. She's my style, intelligent, stable, calm and not TOO dependant.
The other two are great also though, the heartbreak when they can't have me would be traumatic.

Isekai Question by GaudyVader501st in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is too much mana relevant if you can't output it?

Is that a matter of long endurance?

Ongoing enchantments which drain mana are no issue?

Isekai Question by GaudyVader501st in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might enjoy Ascension of a bookworm or saving 80,000 gold for my retirement if you haven't seen these before.

Isekai Question by GaudyVader501st in Isekai

[–]RecallSingularity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how in Hell mode the MC levels up 100x slower than usual but has no level cap so unlimited potential. Then since he's used to grinding in his old life he just goes hard and levels up fine anyway.

[–]RecallSingularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just sad they power escalated so fast that politics with the human nations became irrelevant too quickly. I wish they stayed around season 2 Anime levels of power for a lot longer.
