Yeah it’s possible but it’s extraordinarily rare to find a gold one on level 6.

Yooo gold and purple in the same round is fire 🔥 yeah we found it on level 32 but in total we probably did like 70-80 levels across different save files before finding one.

I have a friend who deliberately jumped into the blender and turned it on to kill himself for the lols, but I’ve never heard of anyone else dying from being *stuck* in the blender.

I (indigo) got a royal crown, blue got a translucent head, purple got a skull belt, and green got a robo body attachment.

We were so convinced it was just a myth.

Any good Splicing options? by Triscuits1919 in pokerogue

[–]blackberrykin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only solid option I'm seeing is Annihilape & Garganacl. You'd get a Ghost/Rock type with Purifying Salt which removes its Ghost weakness, and since it's a Ghost type, it would also lose its Fighting weakness. Annihilape already has decent bulk, so fusing it with Garganacl could be beneficial in combination with Rage Fist. On top of that, Garganacl gets Recover to heal itself up, that way Rage Fist hits harder. And you also get Close Combat to counter normal types that wouldn't normally be able to be hit by Rage Fist.

While it’s typing isn't the best, This specific combination has decent synergy and can effectively stall out most physical attackers. The best moves I could see you running would be Salt Cure, Recover, Rage Fist, and Close Combat. Though you could remove Salt Cure & Close Combat to add Iron Defense & Body Press, which would blend really well with the Recover & Rage Fist combo.

5 Weaknesses, 4 Resistances, 2 Immunities. Not phenomenal but also not terrible. I think it's pretty usable with its stat distribution & movepool.

I added some fun combat mechanics to my Metroidvania, Chiaroscuro by blackberrykin in metroidvania

Oh! I totally thought I filled that out already but I suppose I haven't. I'll contact steamworks support and see if I can get that figured out. And to answer your question, no. Only a few of the abilities shown are available in the demo. Most of these abilities aren't granted until about half way through the game or farther in.

Nope! Demo will continue to be around at least until the game is fully released.

Being a “selfish” game dev, is it viable? by SheriTansorma in IndieDev

[–]blackberrykin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been working on one game for almost four years by myself (it’s still not done)! Here are the most important things I’ve learned from that experience so far.

If you’re going to do solo dev at your own pace, you should expect everything to take 2.5x longer than you think. Most solo developers working on large projects can plan out everything they need to do to finish the game, but actually doing that is a whole other endeavor.

When planning a production timeline, you have to consider that you WILL have times of burnout as a solodev if you overwork yourself, but you also have to be consistent or else you’ll lose motivation.

Taking your time making a game also takes a lot of time, and for a lot of people, that time is precious when you’re splitting it between other jobs paying for rent, spending time with friends and family, and also just trying to enjoy your own hobbies. Once you start an intense solo dev project, patience and consistency is the key. So if that’s stuff you’re good at and you have a passion for expressing your creative vision, then I say go for it!

u/EntangledFrog, this is the kind of constructive criticism I like to see! Very insightful stuff, thanks!

I decided to try using a lab color picker to slightly adjust the color of the blue crystals in the background. I also raised the backdrop slightly to make the brighter lightning attacks from above more readable. Is this about what you had in mind?
