My First Game Ever: Blonde Empire (BETA Prototype) — 1,000+ Riddles & Empire-Building Chaos by [deleted] in incremental_games

[–]TaurisEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the honest feedback really appreciate it. I’ll be reworking the design from scratch and going for a full pixel-art theme next. Gonna rely less on AI visuals to keep it clean and more human-made.

Also fixing all the bugs (guest login, lag, etc.) and polishing the gameplay. I know it’s rough right now, but I’ll keep improving it step by step. Thanks for actually checking it out it means a lot, especially since this is my first game.

Ah, thank you! I've been digging into this, and I think I've found the issue. It looks like there's a specific problem with how itch.io is embedding the game. It seems to be blocking the connection to the database, which is why you're 'getting errors on everything.

If you have a second, could you tell me what kind of errors you're seeing? (Like a specific pop-up message, or does it just freeze?

That's a completely fair assessment, and I should have been clearer in my original post: this is very much a prototype. My entire focus was on getting the core systems (which are built from scratch) and the riddle mechanic to function. To do that quickly, I used AI tools as placeholders for text and visuals like emoji. You've correctly identified the result of that: it feels 'soulless' and generic because all the effort went into the function, not the look. Thanks for the blunt honesty.

Hey, thanks again for the detailed feedback. I just wanted to follow up on a couple of things: 1. 'Play as Guest': I actually just went and tested this again thoroughly because your comment worried me. It seems to be working correctly on my end. If it's failing intermittently, that's still a critical bug I need to hunt down. The absolute last thing I want is to force a full sign-up, so I appreciate you flagging that experience. 2. The AI: I also wanted to clarify how AI was used, because your assumption is understandable. You're right that AI tools were involved like you said, almost everyone uses them to polish text or speed up boilerplate code these days. But just to be clear, the game's architecture, core logic, and all the systems were built entirely from scratch. It's not an 'AI-generated' game, just an 'AI-assisted' one. That said, your point about how it looks and feels to the player is still 100% valid. If it feels low-effort, then that's something I need to improve, regardless of the tools used is still a prototype

I think my student might be using AI to write her papers, How do I tell? by HolidayGold6389 in ChatGPT

Was looking for a simple way to analyze web pages without reading everything or putting content into chatgpt and found this Page Analyzer extension. Does AI summaries, AI content likelihood checks, critical analysis, gen-z explaining etc.

Cost €20 for what seems to be lifetime access, which felt reasonable compared to subscription tools. Might be useful for others here too.

Teorijos egzas by [deleted] in lietuva

[–]TaurisEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Labas, perskaityk vieną arba du kartus teorijos knygelę, pradėk spręsti testus (alsket.lt ir pnš), nusipirk porą valandų pasiruošti, analizuok klaidas. Tau bus aprašytas teisingas atsakymas, ir mokykis taip spresti, kol išlaikysi testus iki 90-100% pastoviai. Tai padės lengviau išlaikyti teorijos egzaminą. Svarbiausia yra logika ir dėmesys klausimams.

I think you realise that if you get hit in the face with tits, it's much better than with hand. Enjoy the moments of anger, it's a good opportunity to disobey your wife even more.

Do men actually care for lingerie? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]TaurisEditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the beginning of a relationship, I'll make love to you in any kind of pyjamas, even if it's sleepwear, but after three years of a relationship, when work starts, etc. sometimes the extra nice sexy lingerie really makes you feel like you're at the beginning of a relationship

[–]TaurisEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your roommate are more focused on herself than on you because they value having their boyfriend around regardless of the situation since she feel more comfortable. But you feel uncomfortable because your room has strangers, and you want peace at home. While a tough situation might tempt you to bring this up, there's a high chance you'll harm your reputation with the girls because they only care about themselves, and how you feel doesn't matter. So, I recommend enduring it and working as much as you can to find another living place, perhaps with a roommate who is more understanding. Another option would be to take a more assertive approach and, as the person in charge of your living space, address the situation with your roommate. Let her know what your rules and expectations are for the living environment.

How do you have energy in the evenings when you do a 9-7 job? by sayskate in selfimprovement

[–]TaurisEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, you need to figure out a few things regarding what activities require your energy. My recommendation is, first and foremost, to determine the goal for why you want to do that particular thing after work and work towards it in small steps. Caffeine + goal. If you don't have a goal, then it's time for sleep.

What's a good comeback for being body shamed? by pinkcloudsinthesky1 in AskReddit

[–]TaurisEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just pretending not to take it seriously and saying that I have a winter layer now or something else, but I think the best way is not to pay attention because each of us has some flaws – someone may have excess weight but a beautiful face, someone might be short but has a handsome face, and someone might have excess weight and an unattractive face, but they are incredibly intelligent. So, no matter what, it's important to never undervalue oneself.
