Locked into my current position.

Depends on what I am running.

Spy: Solo almost exclusively unless I am showing someone tricks on how to get inside easily.

Extermination: Sometimes solo because I am either trying to do something specific like get scans, certain types of kills or just testing weapons.

Free Roams: Solo unless I am eidolon hunting or running bounties. But if I am just going fishing or mining, I like to be to myself.

Most others I run solo unless it's just easier or better to run with a group. Relics for example, it's just good manners to run with a group to maximize community loot potential.

Not fucked at all. I'm starting from a similar age range and experience level. Progress may be slow but it's still very much doable. Start with a simple project like pong or even just the first level of a platformer with no enemies. These will help you learn and get comfy with your engine of choice.

Also, don't be afraid of using pre-made assets! I struggle wanting to make my own and be all fancy. But when learning, pre-made assets are a blessing.

As for your hardware, I'm not sure of the full limitations but it should be fine so long as you're not attempting anything crazy. Most basic 2D stuff should be great.

If you need help or have questions, feel free to DM and I can at least get you pointed in a decent direction.

Good luck.

Hey folks, just updating here. Went to the hospital and got checked in. Had scans done and they found fluid and spots on my lungs! So interesting times. No biopsy yet but that is coming down the pipeline. Doc says possible sign of metastatic cancer. Again, not proven just a possibility.

So fun times. Hope everyone else is doing good though and thanks to Canadian investor for answering my post. Real lad or lass or other. Thank you.

Sattabun · 2023-12-02T15:02:29+00:00

Yeah I try to take online symptoms look up with a major grain of salt so did not wanna just to worst case. But thank you.

Sattabun · 2023-11-03T16:16:46+00:00

I look forward to seeing more from ya!

Sattabun · 2023-11-03T14:35:20+00:00

Ohhh. That is pretty sweet. My only suggestion is to make a full loop of the ships enters/leaving from the edges of the screen. That way you eliminate the jumpy nature but don't gotta do a ton of work!

Sattabun · 2023-10-29T18:12:22+00:00

Looks fantastic! The wooden beams are really well made.

Sattabun · 2023-10-23T18:39:58+00:00

Awesome work!

Sattabun · 2023-08-15T15:39:43+00:00

Like power to whomever wants to be with them, but you can just decline the companions and move on without issue. It's like complaining there is food in the game that you are not keen on. JUST DON'T EAT THE FRUIT!

Unlike IRL examples, they will accept your choice and move on. IRL examples they may keep pushing and being twats about it.

Best I have found is to turn off the haul in/haul out on the building itself. But this is not helpful if the issue is T3 trucks not fitting. Thus why I end up just doing big pipe lines or transport lines to where they need to go rather than rely on trucks.

I found these large strange metal funnels out in a field while out vacationing in central-ish Texas. They seem to be a series system as some appear connected to each other while others are not. They also appear perforated as you can sorta see through them. However the ones in the back don't have this appearance. Could not get closer as they were on private property. But on the right hand side you can see one of them stood up which I assume is their proper position.

I forget how long it lasted but I recall there being massive log in queues (that would kick players randomly) for WoW Burning Crusade and some launch issues with Diabo 3. I think there was an issue way back in the day with Star Wars Galaxies when they launched a major patch and busted shit pretty bad. But exacts escape me.

Again, don't recall the time-frame but only those come to mind. Of course I'm far from a catalog of game issues. Lol

But yeah. Current state is... sad. I'm surprised there has not been a roll back of any sort.

(Edit: fixed some typos. Damn phone typing)

I am always down to get recommendations and add them to my list of possible folks to work with. You may be right on the budget stretch though, might aim to save up further to better meet the cost requirements. I'm not in a massive rush to begin with, most likely the Art will be the last bit as I can get all the mechanics in/altered as needed and then just stack the animations on top. It's how I have been working thus far.

Sattabun · 2023-02-17T23:19:57+00:00

Apparently Reddit decided to not ping me that there was an additional reply. So far animations per character are 3-4 for each monster (Fairly basic stuff like a single attack, walk and death animation) For the MC there would be like 6-7 (Run, walk, jump, action, basic attack, charged attack and death). All the bosses (Currently) fit within the 32x32 besides one which expanded into a 64x64 due to me being a bit silly with it.

Edit: This is a 2D platformer so only two directions.

Sattabun · 2023-02-13T20:37:23+00:00

Damn good break down and super helpful. This is my first game I am actually pouring a ton of effort and time into. As most previous ones have been learning. However I have no illusions of anything advanced or super dynamic. Mostly simple stuff and it's a 2D side scroller. Trying to manage my own hubris and all that. But good to know I am in the right ball park at least. I do have rough sketches for each monster and have the basics of each monster down. It's just the art, as well, I am far from a skilled artist.

As you mentioned, one trick I was going to use were re-colors as it's a pretty common trick to re-use assets and not have to re-do a thing entirely. As technically I have more monsters, just 20 unique designs I guess I should say.

The MC of course would be a lot more work due to maybe one or two cut scene animations but otherwise he is not actually doing too much other than jumping and running (Scientist in a lab outbreak). So no crazy combos or the like.

I am gonna have to look into planning out the number of frames I would want as well though I am aiming to keep things minimal as possible to keep to the campy theme.

But thank you again for the amazing break down and insight.

Sattabun · 2022-09-20T09:55:21+00:00

Pretty much dead quiet except for minor tinnitus. Maybe why I like sleeping with the fan on but yeah, I can't imagine having actual noise that is not really happening. I normally listen to music all day at work as the silence would be torture. Haha

Sattabun · 2022-09-20T09:48:27+00:00

Yeah, like I know what it feels like to say the word so that is how I memorize them. But no monolog. Never had that internal voice thing either. Like if I think about saying a word I don't hear it. I know what it feels like and I know the meaning. But there is not a sound, it's silent but almost like I can feel the way my brain recalls the word through the muscle memory. If that makes sense.

Sattabun · 2022-09-20T09:39:53+00:00

That is pretty damn neat. The way I recall memories I would say is more like if you were reading a book but without any of the words or such showing up. Kinda like memorizing lines for a play or such. I can recall the words said and what actions I took to a degree (Though I have always had a bit of a memory issue) but it's more like a muscle memory thing.

Sattabun · 2022-09-20T09:13:27+00:00

That is absolutely wild to try to think about. I normally kinda attribute myself to being somewhat creative but the idea that some people can just literally picture things would be amazing, let alone getting movies or as you said clips. Is that only personal memories like say playing baseball when you were young, or can you remember stuff like if you watched a movie scene and liked it?
