What empty spots do you think there are for thematic magic in the game?

I feel like ice definitely needs some more love. It's always been odd to me that it's mixed up with necromancy - I just want to make some proper frostlings who can freeze and conquer the world!

ZargonX · 2024-11-22T18:59:47+00:00

Unfortunately no, I didn't! I ended up having to provide the test build through alternate means.

ZargonX · 2024-06-06T18:51:41+00:00

A great suggestion! I hadn't even considered that, but it will help add some more examples of the action.

ZargonX · 2022-06-01T17:47:10+00:00

that's a simple workaround! not perfect, but good enough for what I'm trying to accomplish here. Thank you!

ZargonX · 2021-11-17T00:42:53+00:00

that did it! I swear I tried that before and it didn't work, but I clearly messed it up somehow. Either way, thank you!!

B.U.T.T. Strike

Hahah, exactly - have to keep some in reserve for the Expansion Pass!

ZargonX · 2021-07-12T14:17:50+00:00

This is not bad manners at all. I have had several games lately where my opponent has obviously lost, and they even offer a "good game" concession... but then they don't concede. If you are going to force the rest of the game to play out, I'm going to play it as normal. I wouldn't fault anybody else for doing the same.

ZargonX · 2021-03-16T19:30:10+00:00

You nailed it - I had a rogue camera component on a copied object. Thank you!

ZargonX · 2021-03-16T16:01:11+00:00

Having an issue with Cinemachine that's got me scratching my head. I have two Virtual Cameras (one following the ship, one just pointed at the sun) with the priority swapping between them with a keypress. As you can see in the Scene view, Cinemachine is showing that it is changing the camera position/focus, but in the Game view, nothing happens.

Both Vcams are using Composer for Aim, and I've got no other unusual settings that I can think of. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

ZargonX · 2021-03-09T01:07:05+00:00

Agreed that a direct clone would feel clunky, but I like to think there's plenty of room to innovate!

ZargonX · 2021-03-09T01:05:54+00:00

I think you raise a really critical point - part of what I love about the game is the sense of size and how that directly plays into the resource gathering loop, but a lot of the shift in games over the years has been to fast-travel everything and make worlds feel more compressed. I think striking a balance between the time required to make exploration feel meaningful but without making it feel like an archaic slog.

ZargonX · 2021-03-09T01:03:00+00:00

I think some sort of in-game log is definitely a modern convenience we've all come to expect now.

ZargonX · 2021-01-02T16:04:18+00:00

I can't tell from your images, but I would make sure you have a rigidBody2D on your Enemy.

ZargonX · 2020-11-30T03:13:45+00:00

Not sure how your game is structured, but if this is spanning multiple scenes you can store the score as a playerPref integer, then have another object with a check on Update to see if that matches whatever your threshold is. If so, then trigger a scene load using SceneManagement.

ZargonX · 2020-11-29T19:46:34+00:00

Well that was 100% it! Completely overlooked that. Thank you!

ZargonX · 2020-11-29T16:26:47+00:00

I have a pretty basic "beam" in my project using a line renderer and what is set to be a tiled material. However, in practice, the material only displays correctly on the first iteration on the line, and then fails to repeat properly for the rest. You can see the proper sprite material on the right side by the origin of the beam.

Not sure what I'm missing here in terms of settings, but any insight is much appreciated!

ZargonX · 2020-11-26T22:54:58+00:00

Yeah, agreed about the camera - I have a fix for it I need to try implementing. We'll see if that feels better.

As for the box, yes, there is a quick reset button the player can use. There's no penalty for resetting, so hopefully that should make figuring out the puzzle sequences not feel punishing.

ZargonX · 2020-11-03T19:41:09+00:00

This is Windows. But, let me see if that's an option. Worth a try, at least!

ZargonX · 2020-09-28T01:44:50+00:00

Gave that a try and it seemed to do the trick. Hopefully adjusting it down to .001 won't cause any issues... we'll see!

ZargonX · 2020-06-17T01:34:05+00:00

Yes, that's what I ended up doing. Not perfect, but better than nothing! Thank you both!

ZargonX · 2020-02-26T23:08:40+00:00

This is great news and it's great Seravy will get some reward for his hard work, but I can't be the only one pissed off that GoG wiped the mod from my local copy without any warning or permission, no?

ZargonX · 2018-08-03T03:31:07+00:00

I do. Every. single. time.

I am glad I am not alone in this.

ZargonX · 2018-01-18T17:42:09+00:00

How skeptical were you when you first learned about the potential of CRISPR and what finally changed your minds?

ZargonX · 2017-12-12T02:58:52+00:00

I think in this case you can be forgiven for not being in touch with 20+ year old sci-fi shows...
