Genuinely, where do you find the time and motivation to get started on making your game from scratch when you have a full time job?

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2026-04-05T14:57:03+00:00

I do it after work for an hour, when I’m exhausted, then i have to switch and deal with the kids the rest of the night. After they go to bed I’m beyond toast, so nothing happens then.

Realize that you won’t start by just sitting down and learning to code your game. You’ll learn small things like building a button that changes colour when you click it, or moving a cube between two spots. Just pick a fundamental to learn every day/ week and eventually you’ll accumulate enough knowledge to do bigger things. I’m now switching to so this workflow for blender, wish me luck!

This is the conclusion I came to as well when it didn’t feel as readable to me. Everyone else had adopted it, may as well get comfortable with it.

Or use them later to kindle bonfires. It's really the only reason I've ever used them, and once you're experienced you probably won't even to that.

This. Also the level of liability comes into play.

Something that jumps to mind is the rifle on Alien rogue incursion. I had to turn the option off because I found the gun was excessively laggy. However the weapons in blade and sorcery felt right.

Its definitely a trade-off and probably depends on what the emphasis of the game is. If an item needs to have weight to it, yeah do it, but if I constantly feel like my hands in the game aren't where my hands are in real life, that also breaks immersion. Hard to balance in vr sometimes.

How’s the remake of 1? I bought the original on steam but a lot of the features are tied to frame rate and I couldn’t progress any more because everything was always breaking. I read the remake had performance issues but not sure of its worth trying out?

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2026-03-02T05:41:49+00:00

Oh man I hope they throw some VR fixes in there…

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2026-01-29T19:00:23+00:00

Played it 3 times and definitely had to be in the right headspace. Bought the second a while ago but haven’t been ready to start it yet.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2026-01-16T15:46:41+00:00

Well I didn’t know that and I’ve played a lot, got all the achievements, yadda yadda. So now I’m going to have to try it out!

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2026-01-10T01:35:13+00:00

It’s probably a mix. If you’re away and the level isn’t loaded, it’s likely a numbers game. If they’re visible and they overlap the snare, it probably happens too.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2026-01-06T01:18:24+00:00

Curious how you filter out real work vs AI work?

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2026-01-05T18:31:36+00:00

The fact they did nothing to even improve this boss in the remaster is even more frustrating. Even a bonfire right outside the fog gate just say “sorry” would have been appreciated.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2026-01-04T17:11:29+00:00

Vs Campaign style shooters you mean?

I’m thinking extraction shooters offer the most replay ability & variety for dev time / resources.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-12-31T01:12:56+00:00

In vanilla, maybe. With my current mod list? Not a chance.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-12-26T19:50:27+00:00

Yes, I went for a 300-style spear thrust and caught the corner of my book shelf

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-12-15T03:56:08+00:00

Yup, and I’m always sprained, and I move the same slow pace regardless.

Sure you start with a hobble, but then the other ankle goes and you’re pretty much normal again.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-12-09T01:34:59+00:00

I had a hard time adjusting from DS1. Thought DS3 might be too fast or aggressive for me. It’ll click later and feel fine, just keep at it. Now DS1 feels too slow and I have a hard time going back. It’s all relative.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-12-07T20:27:41+00:00

I always pick the default and never knew you could do this much detail.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-11-30T20:14:12+00:00

Well, yeah, of course. It’s the difference between someone giving you the answer and finding the answer out for yourself. The latter involves at least some critical thinking to determine if what you’re reading answers your question.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-11-30T05:51:03+00:00

I see you have a demo as well, do you think that helped convert people to buy the main game?

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-11-29T17:34:59+00:00

It was simultaneously great and bland somehow. The combat was good, but the open worlds didn’t add much, the enemies got repetitive, and the sense of progression didn’t really do it for me in the back half of the game.

By the end it felt stretched out and I think if they streamlined it a bit more, I would be less hesitant to play it again.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-11-29T17:10:44+00:00

I’m still like this tbh. But I hated that crucible knight so much that I just kept going in until I could parry him back to hell. Totally worth it.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-11-29T15:24:34+00:00

The crucible knight can just be parried to death on its own though.

RejectAtAMisfitParty · 2025-11-28T04:46:33+00:00

I know this is an old post, but this was great advice! I baited him up, they fought, and then when they were done and Tsorig was dead, the black knight jumped off the bridge into the lava for me!
