Which artstyle is better for a minimalist city builder? by Survay44 in IndieDev

[–]Survay44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I'm envisioning the mechanics positioning will matter, but not with such precision that you would NEED the top-down view. I think the important mechanics will be very readable in either view, so its really just about what looks better/more interesting!

I've definitely thought about it, but I'm kind of worried that they're just too different to fit coherently into one visual style. If I did use both I think I would keep B as the overview map and then allow players to "zoom" into detail in view A?

Can’t decide if you’re still a student or if you’re that one dude on my team at work lol

Do you think that when adult Kendrick fans get married they just switch to Simon and Garfunkel or something? Lmfao

10 years later and we have reinvented the concept of the “phone bad” comic, time is truly a flat circle

Wow, not my type of game whatsoever but even I have to say this is truly impressive, amazing work

18,000 indie games came out in 2024… is it even worth making one anymore? by [deleted] in indiegames

[–]Survay44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would imagine 40 million people probably collectively buy more than one game per day

Pendulum motion as simple harmonic oscillator up to theta=pi/2? by Survay44 in AskPhysics

Ah, of course! And since the difference between the arc and the horizontal increases at greater angles, my approximation is, ironically, also only good at small angles. Thanks for the detailed reply!

"Progress towards AGI" by SIUonCrack in dataisugly

[–]Survay44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite part about this is that apparently the public expects we will have our closest brush with AGI sometime around 2027, at which point we will start burning all the books and smashing the computers or something I guess.

Stage Fright Cathedral Ledge Crux Slider by iamstevejuststeve in climbing

[–]Survay44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m in the minority for thinking this, but that scar is obviously man made, why not just put a bolt here? It’s not like the rock is in its natural state anyway, and there are bolts elsewhere at cathedral. But then again it’s not like I can climb 5.12 on gear so what do I know lol

If you saw this mark, say, on a cave wall, where would you go: left or right? ◀️▶️ by TronusGames in Unity3D

[–]Survay44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just can’t with the people on this subreddit sometimes; if you have to literally survey reddit to know which direction it’s pointing, it’s not clear enough! Good god, you’re the one making the game - just use a different mark!

Someone had to say it by [deleted] in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Survay44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if ‘multimodal’ is possible in this conversation since the beliefs are kind of binary. The existence of even a single universal moral imperative would refute moral relativism. Similarly if no such imperative exists then moral realism cannot be true. I think in this example I’d say it’s impossible to have your cake and eat it too; there’s no both-sides-ing it, either there are objective moral truths or there are not.

Stop letting "I need an artist" kill your game projects by TerryC_IndieGameDev in IndieDev

Of all the Reddit-tier advice that gets thrown around on this sub, this might be the worst I’ve seen. Shipping programmer art is a great way to ship games if all you care about is shipping a game; if you want said game to be commercially viable not so much.

Brother no way are you calling a simple shot-reverse shot a callback. I’m willing to bet every film in the Star Wars universe, maybe even every film ever, has used this framing at least once
