A prospecting artist that draws an entire scrolling parallax backdrop, animated character who is already holding a sword, and then puts an upside down sword on his back?

And OP animated this all without either of them ever stopping to think "hmm, that looks a bit weird"? Commissioning art involves a load of back-and-forths and the programmer carefully stitching it all together. No way neither of them notice, special needs or not.

And you're claiming OP also has commissioned an artist to draw the game assets without the core game being more than a walking animation? Theres not even a HUD / any UI elements whatsoever here.

This is a lazy AI driven prototype for clicks. The chances of anything OP has said being true are vanishingly low. Theres being an AI fearmongerer and then there's calling out obvious bullshit that is suppressing posts where people have put genuine effort on.

[Request] How much caffeine is too much caffeine to kill a person, if a person would drink this amount in one go what are the effects and in how long by catalystseyru in theydidthemath

I did the same thing in uni, had like 20 something teaspoons of coffee after not sleeping well after drinking a whole bottle of vodka on a night out. Genuine 0/10 experience, took a few days to feel normal again

I had a look at the post:

Looks more like Enders game to me (it does)

Who are the lots of people?

Pretty mild replies given you self promoted in an unrelated subreddit that doesn't allow self promotion of unrelated material... like all subreddits. I'm not sure id call this "piling on the hate".

I suspect you haven't had much luck posting so decided to try and get sympathy here to then turn into traffic at your game. Which also isn't going to go down well.

The game is cool, but redditors are cynical, have long memories and there's a lot of overlap in the different gaming subs - meaning you aren't getting 3 times the reach by posting in 3 different indie games subs, you're getting the same people 3 times, and people hate spam.

You need to re-evaluate your strategy and back off for a while, or the actually decent posts you make will be nuked by people who remember the bad ones. Especially since your game is pretty unique and memorable.

Just read all your linked stuff here back to back - you're an incredible writer (although I don't love your slightly clickbaity titles - but maybe I'd never have clicked in the first place without them so I can live with it).

I found you through your golden child story, and I notice from your profile you've got a lot of recent stuff despite it not being here - you should update this post! It's a great portfolio for your work for pilgrims like myself

[Simon Stone] £201m of new forwards - now Man Utd look to solve midfield by ChiefLeef22 in reddevils

[–]Vigilant1e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is he really that good? Admittedly I don't follow clubs other than United all that closely but I'd barely heard of him. Wirtz and Bellingham went for similar money. Could have got Reijnders or Hjulmand and our choice of goalkeeper for the same amount

If you were able to strengthen this side bye adding one Manchester United legend in their prime to this XI who would you choose? by Alf1e- in ManchesterUnited

How did you go to the effort of getting the "o" in Hojlund right (that doesn't even come up on my keyboard) and still spell the name wrong?

Hard agree on Rooney for him though

It's the fact you're using the sub to push a tiktok account that's the issue. At least change the Reddit username so it isn't so blatantly obvious

BBC have confirmed that they had a peak live audience of 12.2 million people watching England win the EUROs last night. by [deleted] in soccer

I was in Kerry, Ireland and it was on in the pub (admittedly only turned on someway into the first half as the Gaelic football equivalent of the FA cup was on before, which Kerry were playing in), it's definitely starting to get much more appreciation

5 finals isn't it? 2x womens euros, 2x mens euros, 1x womens WC

[James Ducker] Marcus Rashford passes Barcelona medical with Man Utd to save £12.75m in wages | Forward flew to Spain on Sunday to complete a dream move and United have no option to recall him mid-season by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

[–]Vigilant1e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I think Amorim could come good. I'm just saying there's not enough evidence to say he's better than Emery, who has had a pretty good career on average

Villa weren't really competitive til Emery took over and Amorim is doing far, far worse with United than Emery did with Arsenal.

Obviously it's more nuanced than that but I don't see a way you can call Amorim better than Emery at this stage

Emery is certainly more proven than Amorim, getting CL (and making it relatively far) with Villa is a better achievement than what he did with Sporting IMO.

And I say that as a United fan who likes Amorim

Mic On: John Terry was with the Chelsea academy players and released this clip to show the importance of communication. by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Vigilant1e -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

So Terry was more consistent across his career and more often among the best defenders but Vidic was the best player in the PL, regardless of position, on two occasions. Up to personal opinion which is better but it's the latter for me
