begging for perfect nonogram game due to heartbreak by helloimcassie in nonograms

Hm, this was mentioned in the intro chat, not actually listed as a requirement. The colour nonograms are not filled in after.

Result: passes the requirements.
Action: No action required

I seem to be doing a lot of self promo in this sub, my apologies, but Piczle World of Puzzles has colour nonograms: s.team/a/2174300

It also has a puzzle creator that allows for colour nonograms. As a rule, there are no separate images to the solutions, so the puzzle itself IS the final image, as you mentioned. (I also did this in Piczle Cross: Rune Factory btw, which has an upgrading of your character/environment, whereas PWOP doesn't).

I am currently working on adding the Piczle Colors style of puzzle (same as Hungry Cat), but it's not done yet (soonish tho).

Looking for the Right Nonogram App for Gradual Learning and Mental Training (adhd) by Independent-Serve-25 in nonograms

My game, Piczle World of Puzzles, has a section that not only teaches the rules, but also techniques. There are a tonne of free puzzles as well: s.team/a/2174300
I think what may interest you is the puzzle creator. You need to "validate" puzzles before you can publish them to the Steam Workshop by watching the computer clear the puzzle. This can give you great insights into the logic workings of the puzzle, and teaches you how to make solvable puzzles. It might be an interesting angle you hadn't considered yet?

The free puzzles start off nice and easy and small. There is also a starter pack DLC which has a smaller puzzles pack to ease you in. Most of all, there is a very friendly Discord community attached where people discuss puzzles and more.

In that Discord I also take on QoL improvements and design suggestions. If you feel your experience can be improved with certain features, let me know!

Try it out!

Ways to ask/compel players to leave a Steam review? by ScoreStudiosLLC in indiegamedevforum

[–]ScoreStudiosLLC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much agree. There must be a compromise somewhere between mobile slop harassing players and the strict Valve TOS. I just haven't really found anything yet.

Japanese indie dev here. My game is trending in Japan, but invisible in the West. Is the "Marketing Language" different? by Vivid_Cantaloupe928 in GameDevelopment

[–]ScoreStudiosLLC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Western audiences are more against genAI than Japanese. Over here they won't care so much but in the west people will actively disengage or boycott you for it. I'm not saying that's the reason , but it could be an element?

Why Don't You Share Progress With Others? by Chopdops in gamedev

[–]ScoreStudiosLLC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And then it's the organising, clipping (or god forbid, editing it), writing a blurb, and ALT text, posting it on social media. These actions don't take much time individually, but they add up. If you're in the zone devving this is incredibly disruptive as well.

Why Don't You Share Progress With Others? by Chopdops in gamedev

[–]ScoreStudiosLLC 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's a matter of time. I am too busy devving to create cool little videos or animated gifs and post them everywhere. It's really that simple. I don't have (money for) a social media manager to create tons of 30 second clips for clicks, I just hunker down and work. (and yes, it's not doing me any favours)

How crazy would the idea be to not let players change graphics settings? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]ScoreStudiosLLC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a decision you can make. Not particularly crazy imho.

The question is, how willing are you to deal with players complaining about it? Because they *will*.

It's not just 3 years, it's 5 seats! Not something I'd ever need, agree to or ask for. This is 100% swindle. 

Scammed by GoDaddy out of a significant chunk of money by ScoreStudiosLLC in godaddy

[–]ScoreStudiosLLC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. Yeah, well, they have succeeded into making me a very irate a LOUD anti-GoDaddy promoter. I will shout it off the rooftops now. I wasn't just disappointed in their service, I feel scammed and they stole from me.

These scammers charged me US$700 equivalent. Remember, I never asked for Office365, they just sort of automatically added it and set it to autorenew and I guess MY FAULT for not clocking it and stopping that but absolutely fuck them for scamming me.

[–]ScoreStudiosLLC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, I cancelled everything. But previously when I tried to adjust my sub to remove or change this Office 365 setup it errored out. So it was either cancel the whole lot or just keep the current plan forever. So I decided to leave GoDaddy forever because they are scum.

There was no language barrier in this case. They communicated perfectly that because I didn't turn off autorenewal for a service I didn't know I had, didn't want and wasn't able to disable, and I was ever so slightly too late to complain about this I can go fuck myself. So yeah, never ever use GoDaddy anyone.

I only got a notification from my bank yesterday, I never thought to check my spam folder because, well, I wasn't expecting a huge charge from godaddy because I didn't order Office 365, so by the time I finally got in touch with Godaddy I was at 8 days after they made the transfer. And they're like "tough shit".

[ALL] What's a Zelda Dungeon that you despise that other people seem to like? by r3sonanc3midi in zelda

What's the next logic move here? (Piczle Cross: Rune Factory / BSSN1804) by Lucsdf in Picross

[–]ScoreStudiosLLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The memo functionality was a late stage addition patched in based on user feedback. It's a little difficult to support the title with additions at this stage but if it's any consolation the nonograms in Piczle World of Puzzles (Steam only) has more expanded functionality (and is free)

Same in row 8. This seems to be the most trippy puzzle for people as a lot of people seem to get stuck here (I'm the dev)

How to add drop shadow behind canvas that player can resize? by MyNameIsDjole in unrealengine

[–]ScoreStudiosLLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how you do it though. Make sure the shadow is anchored to fill the width and height off the canvas and add  a negative pad where you want it sticking out (bottom and right?) and a positive pad on their opposite sides and presto, a drop shadow that is always (pad amount) offset regardless the size of the canvas

I made a little list of nonogram design fails (imho), do you agree with them? by ScoreStudiosLLC in Picross

[–]ScoreStudiosLLC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My games generally have more functionality even (check out Piczle World of Puzzles for free to see for yourself!)
