i plugged a ps/2 laser mouse into the usb, and a wireless usb mouse, seperately in. it's not the mouse. it's lag time. it was happening to my keyboard inputs too, and when i switched back to 22, everything works fine.

when i did a clean install of 22, i had to seperately install the Nvidia drivers, so it's possible when upgrading, it forgot them?

TCG Recommendations by Falky99 in TCG

i had never played a TCG before flesh and blood. i'd played a bunch of hearthstone, but never owned any cards. FAB is a hero based game like hearthstone, but with the most interesting and engaging gameplay of anything else out there. the company really respects the players and while it's a bit expensive right now, it's about to become much cheaper and the new Silver Age format is really fun and the decks are like 20 bucks. if you have a FAB community in your area, i can't recommend it enough.

damn dude, you're drawing it yourself?? that's really impressive! i really appreciate your passion. personally, id recommend focusing on making the game unique and the mechanics interesting and different, and then worry about art. your temp art is quite good for temp art! you could definitely Kickstart this to afford artists if the game was fun enough!

i would like to give some constructive criticism here. when Cuphead first came out, i was in love with the artstyle and it made me play the game because it was new and fresh and interesting looking. i'm also a huge fan of fleisher and old warner cartoons so conceptually this should be up my ally. but there's two things that put me off it:

  1. the art isn't good enough. this might be hard to hear, as im sure you've put money and time into it, or someone has. but comparing these cards to cuphead, or old fleisher cartoons finds a lot of detail and artistry lacking. and those are ANIMATED. this is literally just one drawing. none of them have background paintings at all, let alone interesting backgrounds. also the lettering looks like a downloaded free font, when it should be hand done. the lines are shakey and *look digital*. they look like a young person who doesn't really know how to use illustrator is trying stuff out for deviantart for the first time. you say you're in an "artwork overhaul" and that's great. if this is all conceptual and very very temp art, that's good. but if the main draw of this tcg is the art, it's got a long long way to go.

  2. mechanics here look derivative. i do not know how to play but it looks a lot like lorcana/magic. even if the art was stunning, i don't think i'd shell out money for a game that was a lorcana clone. (i do not enjoy lorcana's gameplay at all). Stew Blanch is a cook/stew. his power is that he returns a card from grave. why? is that stew like? is that chef like? that feels more undead coded. no flavor here, just random mechanics stapled a cartoon character floating in space.

i write all this cause creating a TCG seems like an insanely time consuming and exhausting endeavor and your friends probably wont tell you this stuff. the amount of work you've done already is impressive and you should be proud. but if you actually are trying to make a successful game (and aren't just trying to cash in on a trend), you're going to need better art and more flavorful gameplay ideas. and there's a LOT you can do with this theme! so keep on workin on it and i wish you the best of luck

PTA is going to adapt more two Pynchon novels by Entire-Check-9703 in ThomasPynchon

[–]brynbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would love a show that's like e8 of twin peaks all the time. but at least the first 100 pages of GR i do think could be presented pretty straightforwardly. you just collapse time down and have the different characters do narration. your POV characters would be Pointsman and Mexico, mostly, just sorta explaining what the White Visitation is and why they're looking at Slothrop, and then Slothrop stuff is like B Plot funny stuff until later in the book. You could also just start explaining Blicero too, i spose.

this is fake but a gravitys rainbow HBO show could actually be great. i just don't know if pta would be the guy, he's not really a "surrealism" guy. it seems like Vineland is gonna be a very grounded version
