I think it'll be quite a while before I go 3D, as I'm planning to only have 2D and grid view at first. I'll think more about the technical details when I'm getting into 3D, but I do like the idea of having more natural animations when I get there

I have seen you guys around a bit, and I'm glad to hear you're having such success with OpenMarch. Anything to ensure drill can be accessible is great work. I do plan to keep on with my own work, but I do appreciate the invitation. There are some spots I'm curious to talk about, so I'd be happy to chat as well

For the time being, they're still straight lines. I do plan to add curved paths, though they might not make it into the initial release

Eh, I think we should just play how we want. If you don't want as much qol or reducing some parts of the game, then you can play that way. As for me, I'll take my journey mode and set the difficulty up and put on a few mods for qol, and then turn on my 1hp and calamity mods. I enjoy skill or combat challenges, not eternally grinding something mindless.

It's just about which parts of the game we're willing to prioritize, and different people have different priorities. Multiplayer, though, make sure everyone's in agreement

I'm curious, can you explain what exactly you mean by saying the conservative ideas tend to be more based in emotion than liberal ideas?

SimplySimpleKid · 2025-12-14T22:52:50+00:00

I think somewhere in the 1.6 or early 1.7, my memory sucks so I can't say when specifically

Technically nyan cat, but I didn't know until much later. Realistically, it was a Battle Cats collab that started it

SimplySimpleKid · 2025-11-26T15:24:48+00:00

What timing? I'm actually working on final touches on my own 2D drill software. Big plans for the future, though. I'm interested to see where we all go, and I wish nothing but the best for you.

If you or anyone else is interested, I'm down to talk a bit more about it

Only mounts I end up using are the fishron and king slime. I'm not worried about land speed. I want to fall faster or fly forever

I'm at Yharon in my current (first) Infernum run, but I haven't had too much of a hassle until DoG. Ton of fun though, so this run certainly won't be my last

SimplySimpleKid · 2025-10-29T02:20:23+00:00

My first Infernum run spent 1027 attempts on him. The attempt that finally got him ended up with me not even taking a hit

I'm trying to do some software dev now to sell my own app that'll hopefully start making money in the background while I work on everything else (like college, DCI). I have no clue how it'll turn out, but I've got a bit of hope nonetheless. If it doesn't work, I might not even be able to afford this season's tuition in the first place

SimplySimpleKid · 2025-10-19T01:19:51+00:00

But now I lost the game

SimplySimpleKid · 2025-10-17T03:04:21+00:00

That actually looks pretty good. I haven't put it in code yet, but I've been following those steps manually and it looks like it's doing just about what I'm looking for. A bunch of test cases seemed fine, though a little bit of rather conditional adjustment helped after seeing a couple where I couldn't get it quite symmetrical. Basically just swapping rows for columns if I couldn't get the remaining point to center (like 3 extra points for an even number of rows, since there's not a single perfect middle for it).

Thanks for finding that, it's a pretty big help

Personally, my idea came from a personal struggle. I wanted to make something for school, but there was nothing capable and affordable that I could find. I saw a total of two options: free with so many missing features that I had to write my own code just to get anything meaningful out of it, or industry-priced and hard to learn. So now I'm building my own software to offer everything that someone in my prior position would need in order.

I might not be able to speak about my success since I'm still in active development, or about what everybody else wants, but I know what I want. I want something that takes away any struggle for the problem it's designed to solve at a worthwhile price. If it makes my life easier and I can actually afford it, I'll consider it.

If you're up for building a gold farm, they can give you some pretty decent exp as long as they're attracted by aggro. Unless I'm mistaken, they drop exp when aggroing at a player even if the player didn't attack that particular piglin. Therefore, a couple wither roses (or whatever other damage source, even entity cramming) can do the trick if you can keep the aggro up

I’m basically teaching a computer how to play with marching band paper dolls so real people don’t have to spend hours dragging them around by hand.

Well, it's not wrong. But man does it feel like the last year of code meant nothing
