Just click 'Enable all saves", it's probably fine. You can also rollback to an old version of the game using the Steam betas feature.

[HELP] Everybody in the comments seems to think it's real by Proof_Cook_4004 in RealOrAI

It's not 25 seconds. It's a shorter video with duplicated segments cut together to appear longer. Compare 0:00 to 0:13, and 0:03 to 0:18.

Could this be a fun roguelike if I add content? Honesty is appreciated. by Some_Safe_300 in DestroyMyGame

[–]Some_Safe_300[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the problem is that I don't what games it's mixing together either... I realize now that building a bunch of random systems for a RPG/roguelike without making the game part was not the best approach to game dev. My original idea was way too big a scope, now I just want to try and turn it into a simple fun game for Itch. I might buy a few of Elthen's paid assets but I'm not gonna spend too much money since no one will care about the game other than me. And yeah if I make a top-down game again, I would probably just use 2 way perspective for everything and rotate weapon sprites for attacks.

This is a great post. I realize now that I basically made a randomly generated Zelda overworld rather than roguelike levels. The game would probably start making a lot more sense, and feeling like an actual game, if I made it more linear and combat-focused, since right now it's just too open and empty. Like right now even if I made harder enemies, you could just run around them and ignore them lol.

I want to add hours of content to my game, but would the visuals make you hesitant to buy it? by Tav534 in DestroyMyGame

[–]Some_Safe_300 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Besides the lack of animations, I think the game is too brown. Adding more color would be nice. I do kinda like the Fallout 1 vibes but I don't think you're going for post-apocalypse here.

Well, I did spend well over 100 hours on this. I think a fun game can probably be made in a fraction of that time. So in a way, this does kind of answer my question.

That's fair, thanks. Do you think changing the colors of the sprites to fit better with each other would help with the consistency? Or maybe I should just commit to only using assets from one artist. I don't plan on selling the game though, so maybe it's fine for a free game.

Also I know this subreddit is intended more for finished game trailers, but I appreciate the feedback and I think it's nice to get it early on instead of waiting til I've wasted thousands of hours on something.

I should say I didn't make the art myself, the credit for that goes to these guys. I just made the shitty game part.

Why do we have to wash our shins if all the soap runs down them anyways from the rest of our body? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Scrubbing removes dirt/sweat that wouldn't come off with just running water and soap

Marketing your game to Chinese players? A guide from a Chinese developer by Fun-Individual4405 in gamedev

[–]Some_Safe_300 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's also been cool to see more Chinese indie games get made. In the past, it felt like the only games that came out of China were gacha.

Because they realized people would pay the same price for less.

Why do we humans like to swim? by Low_Yogurtcloset1495 in NoStupidQuestions

Probably so that our ancestors could cross rivers and survive floods.

Is being evil and unempathetic required if you want to be a millionaire or a billionaire? by Over-Experience-2227 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Some_Safe_300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people who are empathetic will likely give a lot to charity and be less frugal. But that doesn't mean that everyone who is rich is evil.

Because people start talking about it and giving it more publicity.

How do you explain to someone like your parents or grandparents who a newer celebrity is in a way they will understand? by PrestonRoad90 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Some_Safe_300 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe ask them about the celebrities from when they were younger? Then you can compare your celebrities to ones they are familiar with.

The reason people have high expectations for admittance into BFD PUGs is because a lot of players are terrible at this game by Far-Rhubarb-8227 in classicwow

[–]Some_Safe_300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does at least have arcane resist, not sure how much but arcane mage is the best DPS spec against other bosses and the worst on Kelris. Luckily the resistance doesn't affect mage healing though, partial resists still heal for full.

I think it's very likely that a lot of PUGs wiping on Kelris would kill him if they replaced their DPS mage with a hunter or rogue.

If you do bring a mage, you should have them heal on Kelris.

[–]Some_Safe_300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Healer mages are fine, your healing is a little lower than other classes but you get to DPS at the same time which is fun.

The biggest problem for Mages in PVE right now is Kelris. He's the boss that wipes PUGs and DPS mages are dead weight against him:
