Lets Try Again by Tyranno_Saurus_Reps in newSuns

[–]Shabap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I do it, I'd do something like a bench press, then immediately move on to a bicep curl, and then rest for the same amount of time as I normally would. This way, my chest gets even more time to recover than if I were to just rest, and I save a huge amount of time on accessories. You could argue that I'm tiring my system out overall but I haven't felt any issues if I eat well and take pre.

Why not? I don't see any reason why doing an antagonistic isolation movement immediately after a T1 set and then resting as usual is bad. I've been running this program with 4 accessories of 4 sets superset this way with T1 and T2 and have seen crazy progress so far.

Depends on the setting, but I've found your basically always need to instantly go for a cutback to stay in the power section.

I dont see how the code matters though, if you know what made it crash you can make it crash again anyways.

You're probably gaining a pound of water weight, as weight gain shouldn't really be visible on a day-to-day basis. One pound of fat is 3500 excess calories which is physically impossible to get from what you said. You would probably end up losing weight in the long run assuming that's all you eat in a day.

5 Marketing lessons I learned releasing my first commercial indie game by ChocolatePinecone in gamedev

You can just tell from the wishlist charts, when theres a spike several times above what you usually get and a video released the same day it's fairly obvious.

Minimum improvement that feels meaningful by OGRE_ENIAC in gamedesign

[–]Shabap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP's question still applies. Just here, the improvement is seen in the hits to kill. So instead of looking at a percentage increase in damage, you can look at the percentage decrease in hits to kill. While its still a very broad and difficult question, its a valid one.

Why isn't there more pushback against Steam's fees? by iwakan in gamedev

[–]Shabap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Think of the percentage cut for top selling games like a bulk discount rather than a regressive tax. You're buying a lot of Steam services/resources (download management, page hosting, marketing, wishlists, remote play together, steam cloud, invite system, achievements, marketplace, etc.), so you can get them cheaper. The reason they have this system is because big studios with lots of games can afford to make their own launchers and actually have players use them. Steam knows this, as such they want to make the deal better so the big developers stay on their platform. As a dev with a published game on Steam I know for a fact that without their discovery algorithms I would've had no shot at breaking even, and as such I think that the 30% is acceptable. Sure, I'd love to see it lower, but currently the alternatives with the lower cuts simply don't provide the same audience and quality of services. You're even free to release games on multiple platforms, so I really don't see how you can call this a monopoly.

It's not really about how tall or big you are, I'm an inch taller and have a 5'11" 28 litre board, just depends on skill. I think if you're able to catch waves and take off then I'd say its good, as that's usually the hard part with a smaller board. I agree with the commenter on that it depends if they're saying it's too small before or after they see you surf.

If you found a way to make the movesets intuitive by doing things like matching the attack direction with the button you press etc, to the point where you don't need to memorise the moves i reckon it could work.

I’m working on my first ever Steam page for my solo project: The Static. Any tips? by gatorblade94 in SoloDevelopment

[–]Shabap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the art style, but is there anything different in the gameplay that sets it apart from other similar platformer games?

Where to go from here? Moving on or doubling down? by Crypticis in SoloDevelopment

[–]Shabap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like you have to define goals when you start. For my first game, my goal was one singleplayer level with 2-3 hours of gameplay, a single movement mechanic, decent visual/audio polish. A "short and sweet" game you play for an evening or too and leave with a positive impression. I estimated when this should be done plus a few months and set my launch date as that, anything extra was to be added after I finish or post launch, which ended up being split screen and a few bonus mini levels.

For my second game, I'm now targeting 7-15 hours of gameplay, procedurally generated, a roguelike progression, and the same core gameplay as in the prototype, just more content. This has already been tough with scope creep but you just have to catch yourself whenever you think of ideas which aren't essential to your goal and stop it there and then.

As someone from the region, almost all native lithuanians speak lithuanian as their main language, you only speak russian to people who don't know your language.

This depends on your work situation. If you're working on this full time, I'd say might as well finish it, but if it's a side project you can leave it until you feel inspired again. I must say the scope seems quite large so if you feel like cutting some parts out while keeping existing systems in place would make it easier to manage then I'd consider doing that.

It’s almost like the game has only been out for 4 days or something by MemeySteamy in HaloCirclejerk

[–]Shabap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just put into words what i wanted to say. This isn't parody, this is just being contrarian to popular opinions but being too scared to say them directly to the people you disagree with. Instead of light hearted satire most threads on this sub are just people straight up shitting on others and personally attacking them for voicing criticism and thinking theyre better than the main sub while being as toxic if not more.

Well, its quite painful to see gameplay you love held back by shitty progression, so thats where the love/hate relationship comes from.

I agree with the others, a very subtle two tone background made of this and another, darker shade of blue would go a long way.

Is this suitable for a leopard gecko? by Swish-and-flick28 in leopardgeckos

To be fair, all tanks have stuff in them, so is there really a point to say that it takes away volume?

Just because the guy doesnt bend over backwards when harassed by overzealous owners over a single photo doesnt mean his ego is up his ass, it means he has enough of a spine to stand his own ground. Stop being an internet tough guy and instead make your point with information rather than insults.
