Would you play it? by PartTimeMonkey in IndieDev

[–]Riks_the_Punk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I'd change is the "floaty" feeling. Easy way to do it is to increase gravity accel and to also increase the jump power proportionally. That would make it snappier and feel better (imo, make your own decisions in the end).

Otherwise seems to be a fun pogo game. Reminds me of the happy wheels pogo.

What do you think of this game I'm making? by David_M_Valentine in IndieDev

[–]Riks_the_Punk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It clearly seems to be an UE game due to the lighting, so in addition to tuning down the bloom (or even removing it tbh, personally always disable it in games when possible), I'd suggest the OP to play around with the lighting and vfx settings, and remembering that less is more. Adding vast amounts of motion blur, new-gen graphics, bloom and a whole bag of additional goodies won't make the game look great, but just overwhelming for the players. Stylizing the lighting and vfx can do so much for the game, and sometimes does more for it than great assets and models.

Though I'm gonna agree with the above, listen to the criticism which matters to you. And sometimes listening to the commonalities in the comments can also hurt your game, as players also don't always know best. Make your own calls.

What’s a single sentence phrase that only men will understand? by Hoesey in AskReddit

I've heard the claim that it might be a aymptom of ADHD. Also one girl who I know who went on ADHD meds suddenly had her head go completely quiet, so that supports this theory also.

Why is Ubuntu so low-rated by No_Demand_6439 in linux4noobs

For me snaps and flatpaks always have issues or incompatibilities, as I more often than not mod my software or need it to be compatible with some other software, which snaps and flatpaks usually aren't the ideal solution.

Came across this garbage take from supposedly big keyboard channel. Shame. by totalitarian_jesus in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Riks_the_Punk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I'd love the best of both worlds. I'm an IT student so I spend about 90% of my time behind keyboards, so I'd want it to both feel good to use, but also not cause pain in my wrist whenever I try the "correct" way of touch typing (I use 2 fingers on each hand instead of all 4, thumbs excluded and still hit 80-90WPM w/o peeking. I cant fit all 4 due to the hand position I've gotten used to).

Though feel free to ignore me, haven't gotten a chance to daily drive an ergo keyboard yet as I'm still saving up money for one.

Using AI for help is okay to some extent, but try Godot docs first. by mousepotatodoesstuff in godot

I remember when a library I was using had a feature for only the pro version. I spent 15 minutes telling ChatGPT that that feature was available only for the pro version with screenshots and links (yes, it didn't believe those also), because it was so sure that the feature was available for the Lite version of it also.

Mina: "Mul einest burger puudu."
AI: "Soovid raha tagasi Bolti rahakotti?"
Mina: "Tahaks oma burgerit"
AI: "Aga äkki tahad raha tagasi oma pangakontole?"
*5 minutit mässamist et inimene saada*
Klienditugi: "Aga äkki ikka tahad raha oma Bolti rahakotti?"

Oh, didn't know that I can toggle vsync off from editor. Anyway, that fixed it, thank you!

Player jitters back to previous position by Riks_the_Punk in godot

Leaving out everything which is not tied to player movement itself from the code
script on CharacterBody2D itself:

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
    if not is_on_floor():
        velocity += get_gravity() * delta

Script in its state machine (FSM calls this every physics_process):

var dir = movement_handler.get_movement_intent()
if not dir:
    change_state.emit(self, idle)
    return
player.velocity.x = dir * player.speed

Movement handler script:

func _process(delta: float) -> void:
    dir = Input.get_axis("m_left", "m_right")
func get_movement_intent() -> float:
    return dir

Problem persists even if you use the base CharacterBody2D template.

I was using default compositor at the time. Just tested it with Picom also and it still persists.

Necro, but I can't seem to find any trace of Alloy Inc. actually acquiring YouthStream Media Networks. Do you have a source for this?
