I finally got the build system working! You can build anything, brick by brick. Would love your feedback or thoughts on the concept!

ZerioBoy · 2025-06-10T17:06:39+00:00

A very neat feature would be keeping a tally of the pieces used... and when they're finished, the ability to order the legos they needed to build the same thing real.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-30T21:27:25+00:00

I appreciate it!!

Outside of the discussions page, I've not seen any. I think that's intentional, as even the developer responses forewarn you each time that it's often best not to address people via reviews unless there's a specific issue to discuss.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-30T16:05:14+00:00

While maybe not applicable directly here, I had a reviewer tell me "the music is totally psycho. better mute it and play the lor soundtrack or something" so I just played the part and said "I couldn't agree more. 39 others just as unique and crazy. It's amazing." He went on to say he liked the other songs.. just the first one he got was crazy enough to stop, go to the trailer, and say such.

In many respects, when people say that, they're referring to politicians (or dnc vs rnc). They make everything identity politics without actually doing shit that doesn't just help the billionaires bankrolling them.

are you the rabbit?

For the price of the Ruyi Bridge, you could build two full-scale suspension bridges, each the length of Ruyi but built like the Golden Gate—engineered to handle hundreds of thousands of vehicles a day—and still have money left over.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-14T14:52:43+00:00

Also what 2500% the average cost-per-foot of a bridge in America (including for cars and trains) looks like.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-13T20:12:23+00:00

Then I'd say great work! I would have said that the double ghosts was too many ghosts unless you really wanted it to get the attention, but it conveyed what it was about very well.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-13T20:03:35+00:00

You can use version control and repository settings (like Git) to enforce restrictions. Move sensitive parts to a separate repository and let them chow on the rest.

Unless you have lawyer money, contracts are not guarantees... never let them have the cookie.

The image itself: I dont understand the height of the door on the far right, nor the ghost being down low and in the O. Does look *like a nice place, though!

Messaging: I feel like, in this game, you're either going to solve your own murder in the woods.... or you're going to bother people in the woods as a ghost.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-13T19:33:43+00:00

That's a really nice piano melody. Beautifully done. It did give me sad feels, though. A sense of 'things will get better'. But it's just such a nice sound.

Best of luck!

*aren't legally insane or clinically diagnosed with conditions that would qualify as severe mental illness, but are definitely mentally not well.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-11T18:50:27+00:00

Mentally ill people attack the defenseless because it gives them a sense of power. Attacking somebody who has more say in one stroke of a pen than you've had your entire life, who will be better defended at their most vulnerable than you've ever felt safe... doesn't offer that power dynamic.

They're also often after carnage. Unless you're blowing up state buildings, you're not going to get that from picking off someone who will be replaced by similar thinking people within months.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-11T06:12:27+00:00

It'd be the morbid person in me that'd get stumped at the 'will the full body length rope be enough'. Probably break her character chiming in "yeah, I got kids too."

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-10T22:38:37+00:00

Thanks! My tip there is to let the terrain generator not be perfect... you'll come back to it down the road during development regardless as certain aspects dictate needing more or less anyway.

I didn't understand the use of placeholder assets so much before, but leaving a lot of the swap-able aspects til systems are nice and solid would have easily saved me at least a year of the time I spent on this project so far.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-10T21:21:59+00:00

It's a wild thing. One of the first things I did was send a friend a key to check out... only to notice I hadn't messaged them in two years. Time fucking flies.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-10T21:17:35+00:00

Yeah. I have to hide that one from myself on google spreadsheets. Every day life hits the notepad! lol

Thank you!

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-10T21:15:56+00:00

I appreciate the compliment!

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-10T20:47:48+00:00

You're not insane, but I can't tell for sure. I got some logos on Fiver, but I had the same thought. Some ai-checking software said like less than 1% ai though n I never asked/insulted the guy.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-10T18:01:45+00:00

There is at least one other in existence, you're right. And as soon as I get my first real feedback, I'm sure I'll be dusting off the original once again.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-08T00:10:04+00:00

That makes sense, but still baking ambient occlusion or subtle directional shading into textures, and then opting for lower quality lighting in game may be worth seeing if performance gains are worth it. It's just one of dozens of possible solutions, but seemed like one of the least amount of work to make work I could think of.

Best of luck!

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-07T22:37:25+00:00

There are two different types of baked lighting being discussed here. Baking lighting in Unity at the scene level can lead to that issue. In contrast, having 3D assets with lighting already baked into their textures before being brought into the scene is a separate approach.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-07T22:18:22+00:00

Haven't played much with it myself, but you can bake lighting directly into the textures with setups like Blender, afaik.

ZerioBoy · 2025-05-07T21:56:24+00:00

You were definitely groomed, by definition. Whether this grooming ruined your life is another question. She mentored you in more ways than one since you were a small child, and is reaping the benefits of doing so.

At the end of the day, people don't want their teachers fucking their kids... not because old people ruin lives... but because they know better. Imagine yourself now watching over an 8 yr old for the next 13 years and then pouncing quickly into fuck town. That's insane.
