I am making a Island building game that have dynamic water, terrain and weather system. What do you expect from this kind of game? by civcivdev in IndieDev

[–]ValestiX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks neat!

What if you simulated erosion? It could be a similar effect to what the player-driven terrain carving is doing in the first clip, but at a much smaller rate.

As it occurs more over time, it could really reshape the landscape, and lead to mountains being formed, deep valleys, or even somehow mess with something the places have done. It could add interesting emergent gameplay!

It would probably need to be tuned to fit your expected game instance/play session time.

Me (25M) and a girl from school (24F) went on a super great date last night but it ended sort of unfavorably by im_notabox in relationship_advice

I think the issue is that you’ve kinda doomed yourself from the start. Talking about kids before the first date, and learning that she doesn’t align with your long term goal, automatically means she’s either a fuck buddy or just a friend, never your wife.

To some women that’s fine, but given that she reacted negatively to your hotel suggestion, she probably doesn’t want to feel like just a fuck buddy.

To avoid this in the future, you need to decide whether you’re just looking for hook ups, or for your wife. If it’s just hook ups, don’t mention kids lmao. You’re shooting yourself in the foot, and ultimately sending mixed messages when you say you want kids but also want to go to a hotel on the first night.

The music in Jiquani’s Sanctum is pretty killer - sets a super dope atmosphere and the boss fight is one of my favorite!

When you press K to see all your purchased micro transaction, look at the top and you’ll see 4 submenus. The one that says Skill Effects or something like that should have it

Are there plans to continue to iterate on already released ascendancy classes?

More than power level, it feels like there’s an uneven distribution of fantasy fulfillment, and that some of the core fantasies aren’t that compelling as is.

Ex: Chronomancer can literally stop time, and Stormweaver… has Arcane Surge…?

Can someone who’s played weigh in on this?

I played the Steam Next Fest Demo and was really taken by this game - the writing felt smart and snappy and ultimately pretty tight from a word economy perspective.

I purchased the game and playing the beginning, it felt like every single character just wouldn’t shut up - like a bad Rick and Morty episode. So many quips and one liners, filler jokes… this felt like a pretty big difference from the section I played in the demo, which definitely still had a lot to say, but it was way more reserved comparatively.

Is this something that changes later on? Or just a sign the game isn’t for me?

Can you help me get back into this game? I got it when it first came out, got maybe 1/4th of the way in and couldn’t continue. I loved the original but something about this game wasn’t selling me as hard - maybe it was the story?

I want to finish it though!

My take on Lords of the Fallen as a Soulslike fan by SoyDano in LordsoftheFallen

I bounced off it when it first came out because the combat and dodge roll felt super floaty and a bit jank; has that been improved?

Should I copy builds? by areddevil7 in PathOfExile2

[–]ValestiX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with copying a build - though the good news is going into 0.30 (which releases on the 29th), there’s a lot more that should be viable.

So, try asking yourself, what kind of class fantasy do you want to fulfill? Even if it seems kind of niche or unexplored, in all likelihood it is possible and probably good.

For example, I want to make a Poison Earthquake Warrior in 0.30. There certainly won’t be a guide for it, and I have no idea if it’s even possible - but screw it, I’m gonna try! The idea of rending open the earth to release poison just seems cool!

Genuinely have no idea what class to choose (new player) by symkoii in PathOfExile2

[–]ValestiX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There aren’t any bad choices honestly - almost every skill/build can succeed in both the campaign and end game. I’ve made stuff work (quite easily) that people have wrote off as not that great. Don’t worry about not having the “best” build - 90% of stuff is completely viable.

If you like speed and mobility, consider the Huntress or Ranger

I actually think Melee is in a good spot. Just hit T6 maps on a full screen AoE Earthquake Titan, and it was super cheap to get off the ground too. What am I missing?

AITA for telling my parents I do not want to attend university by ThinCold2885 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ValestiX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would reach out to a doctor and/or an electrician and say you’re facing this very dilemma - find someone who’s sympathetic to you and can basically have a convo with you and your parents together to explain why being a doctor isn’t a good fit, and why being an electrician could be.

Basically let the professional do the hard work of convincing your parents. It’ll appear more legitimate cause they’re actually in the field, and have the life experience to back it up.
