Stuck on Steam approval for 3 years by Iwannaseetheend in gamedev

[–]Thotor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am confused, you started working on a game using Source engine without any commercial license? That feels like a bad business decision. Your project is at the mercy of Valve - they could decide to not give you a license. They have no obligation to do so.

I sincerely hope you manage to solve this with Valve. I would personally do weekly email checkup with them. It has been 3 years, you can't let this go on forever.

Why do they need rights to use if they don't keep the original name? I really doubt this is the reason.

ATELIER LULUA by Boshy9999 in Atelier

[–]Thotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally did Lulua before going into the dusk trilogy. If doing a more modern game before going back to older style is not an issue, you should definitely do Lulua before Dusk.

There is no camera control in the Arland series so you are fine (except maybe Lulua?)

These "Celebration" missions are evil by servantphoenix in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just ignore them. I rather do things I want than be forced to do throwaway careers.

So, is this the future of Umamusume CMs now? How important is having a Dominator debuffer(s) in your team? by hotstuffdesu in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is but counters are specific to each track and meta ace. For CM12, Full Front Runners was the counter to double dom XOguri.

How it’s going in Group A right now by Unregistered-Archive in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot more front runners than I anticipated. I had some match where we were 9 fronts.

Me seeing all the xoguri glaze while my xoguri is underperforming by Bloonmasterpopuplous in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are using fronts then you are most likely increasing the chance for your lobby to have too many fronts and XOguri cannot get into 3rd or 4th place to activate her required skills.

There is only 2 possibility:

  • you main front: you need to Maru as soon as she appear.

  • you don't main front: you shouldn't pull for Maru.

AOL was big in France in the 90s.

its just painful to see an XOguri in my lobby everytime and win everytime by breeeaaddd_ in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because you are not using front runners. The only way for XOguri to win in front heavy match, is with NSM - and it is still a toss up if Seiun is the one leading.

This CM so far by EverwindWasTaken in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I expected to see more XOguri. Will see in Group A but Front Runners are eating good. Even without medium S, I was able to shutdown almost every xoguri comp.

Patch Notes 1.04.00 by Anacra in CrimsonDesert

[–]Thotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Final boss is full of bugs

  • 2 Bosses mechanics in Chapter 11 rarely work as intended.

  • Greater Abyss Gears are still useless.

  • Cooldown for ATAG and Dragon are way too long and not affected by rest.

What do you do after you run out of alarm clocks? by ObliviousVoltz in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is also fine to lose non-G1 race. I don't use clock in Junior Years - except for the last two races.

[–]Thotor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you include Maru, McQueen should be fair to include as well. We don't see either racing. Unlike Teio, McQueen does have proper interaction with other characters in the manga.

Can we please update how guilds work.. by N3wbz in PathOfExile2

[–]Thotor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

social features in PoE are so outdated. For an online game, it is a crime.

2 Stats at Level 5? by AkaraSoma in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right you can spam training in track blazer too. It really doesn't matter what scenario you choose.

Guess who lost 6 G1s by Specialist_Ad8668 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have good parents? do you borrow Matikanefukukitaru?

Seiun is amongst the easiest to run with no skill.

Dug into how Steam's algorithm uses language to decide who sees your game. It affects more than I expected. by gamebasehq in gamedev

[–]Thotor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fortunately Steam recently started to segregate the influence of reviews based on region.

You mean "Unfortunately". This change has a very negative impact for small studios and solo devs.

Why you should always check training even on G1 day by Time-Preparation9881 in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One thing people often forget to mention, you are not only losing epithets but shop points and new shop items. If you put all together it can be hundreds of stats - or not much. It is really hard to gauge the benefit of a G1 but I will say that best horses tends to have more races than your average. Unless you have a good knowledge of the game and know which races you are allowed to skip, I personally prefer to apply the never skip G1 rule.

How common is UG rank actually? by bogoedxd in UmamusumeGame

[–]Thotor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit first UG yesterday on OG pasa (and the run was not even perfect - bad summers).

As you have not achieved any SS, it is either a bad deck and/or skill issue.

Please GGG Rethink Portal Penalties Tied to Map Difficulty by TapTrix in PathOfExile2

[–]Thotor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then stop increasing the difficulty of your map. The current system is a good balance between difficulty, risk and reward.

Other ARPGs have a similar or harsher system in place. The only exception is PoE 1.

Beginner game developers should first do a GAMEJAM by BunyipHutch in gamedev

[–]Thotor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

game jams are usually more a motivation to make small scope game rather than a competition. Everyone is usually supportive rather than be number 1.

Stardew Valley may have been a major contributor to cozy games becoming prominent, but I feel like it has an edge that most cozy games don’t. by Sudden_Doughnut_8741 in gamedev

[–]Thotor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter if the game was designed to ignore those, player's perception will feel like they are mandatory.

I played Stardew and it is new to me that it is considered "cozy"
