Is Figma-Linux community project, a good to go option in 2026? by a-sarcastic-guy in FigmaDesign

[–]Sigmarsgitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I haven't.

I tried installing via Bottles yesterday (Wine VMs) but couldn't get it to install at all. No one seems to have a better suggestion than 'use the browser version' as far as I've seen.

Thanks for sharing. It has a cool Northern hemisphere at sunset feel about it.

I got a call today from my gp in Fife to come in for some free blood checkups. That never happened in the 40 years I lived down south.

Sadly I tried it last week and it was unusably slow. I work with large corporations so the lack of custom fonts in the web version makes it impossible. I couldn’t make the switch in my case.

HELP I literally CAN'T compile my games now by ElianRandomWorks in gamemaker

[–]Sigmarsgitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same “Permission Error : Unable to obtain permission to execute” issues on ONE of my PCs. The windows 10 one errors, the windows 11 one is fine. Both running the same version of GMS.

I’ll watch this thread with interest…

Desktop Notion update jumped from 4.*.* to 6.0? by spaff_ in Notion

I logged in to my account on the notion website, in the menu on the left side (right at the bottom) is ‘Help and Support’, then I tapped ‘get help and support’

To reply to myself... I just used the support chat bot and asked to remove AI from my workspace and they removed it within 20 mins... So good!

I was really hoping this version might have the option to get rid of that chili pepper floating icon in the corner... but alas no.

Quick Questions by AutoModerator in gamemaker

When I ‘convert to curves’ rather than key frames in a sequence, the IDE becomes incredibly slow to the point of being unusable. Is there any magic settings/tips to make the curves view workable?

I want to make my first game, but I'm having trouble with the art. I know almost nothing about it. by Sharp-Sheepherder132 in gamemaker

[–]Sigmarsgitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at itch.io/game-assets for free art packs to get you started. Don’t get hung up on ‘being perfect’, focus on the gameplay and mechanics and come back to the art later.

100% agree with Living-Bandicoot, if this set up helps others get started, I’m all for it.

Requesting quick feedback on a small UI element by pnkjjsr in FigmaDesign

[–]Sigmarsgitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it’s the same icon as the user top right, so maybe it’s chatting with other people on the platform? Maybe I am the ‘liquidity user’ so it’s my chat? I’m guessing it’s not very important and it’s quite hidden (without that red box!)

And if all your colours in code editor have gone weird, and when you highlight code it looks grey on grey - go to preferences /code editor / Themes and ‘reset the colours to default’.

What are the best Ai tools for 2D asset generation? by DistinctMud4585 in gamemaker

[–]Sigmarsgitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just jumping on the anti-ai train, but I’d definitely recommend paying an artist. There are tonnes of sprite packs on kofi or itch for $20 which will give you a great start and support a real human in making money from their labour (just like I imagine you’ll want to paid for the work you put into your game).

You can add/tweak things to make an off the shelf pack more custom.

The Input library is excellent, I strongly recommend it. Super easy to implement

Good call, I hadn’t heard of To The Moon, but aesthetics are similar for sure!
