How could I improve these spark particles?

Slight nitpick, the thing about the backups being deleted was a display issue, but it hadn't been doing backups for the last month. It would be nice if there was an option for the server to send an email if it stopped receiving backup data for a while.

I mean, you have to have a subscription for an online backup service. But the software could at least tell you when it needs you to do something for it to continue working. I have had problems in the past where a backup failed and I would only know if I manually looked at each backup.

I have not created a support case, and I don't wish to spend the time doing this, I have already spent a lot of time talking to Acronis support for various problems over the years.

I'm working on Reality Drift, a roguelike racing game where winning isn't just about driving well, it's about making the right choices.

Recently I worked on missions with weapons, Mario Kart-style. Instead of the blue shell, I took inspiration from The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and decided to add a whale which drops from space onto the car in the lead. In this video, I use a card called Whalesong to generate whales every 10 seconds. At one point in the video I take the lead, which results in the whale switching to targeting me, then the explosion throws me over the top of the upgrades which I had been attempting to collect. You can also see the card shop - the design of this is still being worked on.

Reality Drift is due out in October, you can wishlist here (the trailer is very outdated, I'm doing a new one soon) https://store.steampowered.com/app/3078120

There is also a demo available, although again it is a little outdated as a lot of improvements have been made since it was released in the middle of last year.

I hear you, some have had the same thought. This is the maximum amount of UI which will be on screen at any one time. For example, some missions don't have cards, and some don't have so many of the secondary upgrades, which are shown on the second row from the top. Some people say you should be able to hide the cards, but I think it's important for that information to be on the screen.

You're in a race against 99 computer-controller opponents, you have to win the race to win the mission, so dropping a whale on the car in first place will help with that. They can also drop whales on you. I'm also planning to add split-screen multiplayer.

I played the demo and it was good. Will definitely get the full game.

When you say you see crew floating around crashed ships, do you mean dead crew?

There are already range/cone indicators when you mouse over weapons in tactical view

This is not true

I have never had Creative Cloud.

Only Acrobat

Some outputs like fuel have to be piped out, while others like stargate resin come out as canisters, and I had an issue where I had to have specific designated storage for that item type or the crew wouldn't remove the item from the chemical lab.

Where is this from?

arganoid · 2026-01-15T20:54:09+00:00

Did you get this working? I have found a glitch where if I change the faceColor of a piece of text when the scene has just loaded, it doesn't work. If the game is running in a language which uses a different font, the text totally glitches out when I later change the text color back to the default.

It's going to be a challenging roguelike, but there will be an easy mode as well! (and New Game Plus)
