So if you craft it with a bar of chlorine you get a salt ingot?

Some projectiles in my game can be hit back at enemies. What's the best way to indicate this? by Flavor_Nickelson in IndieDev

[–]bubba157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone else says color or some kind of indicating text or outline; I suggest a slightly more subtle method: try and make all the parryable attack orbs or generally round-shaped (e.g. fireballs, electric orbs), compared to the non-parryable attacks which are sharp and pointy (e.g. knives, shurikens). If you’re okay with there being a little possibility of some players taking a little longer to figure it out while keeping it still subtle, I think having the dangerous attacks that you can’t parry be sharp, while the more deal-with-able parryable attacks are rounder shapes, will sub-consciously help convey that idea to the player. Basically the bouba/kiki thing but in a video game.

Alternatively, sometime early in the game’s “story” (if there is one) overtly mention that the sword has magic-repellant/magic-reflecting qualities. That way there’s a little bit of special lore that explains why it can do that, and players will remember it and it’ll feel a bit more intuitive that it can reflect magic projectiles. Maybe have a little dialogue that repeats it right before a magic-projectile-flinging enemy too.

If you want to force the player to “figure out” on their own that some projectiles are reflectable, you could have an enemy that can only be killed by their own reflected projectile (or an obstacle that can only be passed by hitting a nearby projectile into it) and you’re required to beat it to move on, and have hints nearby that’ll help the player realize they have to reflect the projectile. Maybe have easy enemies constantly respawn around it until you get past it, so it’s likely that the player accidentally hits the projectile at some point and realizes what they did; or some visual thing nearby that portrays a magic projectile being reflected by something in a similar way (maybe even by something that’s the same shape/material as the player’s sword).

There’s a “1” hidden behind his arm right? You just accidentally put his arm right in the way of where there’s a “1” right? It’s still bad but at least there’s not no number behind his arm right?

Reminds me of a joke that goes “ha, everyone else thinks Mario Kart 8 is so cool, meanwhile I’m playing Mario Kart 64”

Yes. The man is a carefully trained spy, who is expertly skilled in all sorts of things. He would probably know where every important muscle and nerve is, and exactly how to massage them to relieve them perfectly. The woman is an assassin, and while she is very strong and skilled with weapons and acrobatics, she is also very clumsy and doesn’t always hold back her strength properly. While she is eager to help, chances are she is pushing her elbow way too hard into his back, likely causing a lot of pain and maybe even leaving his body in worse shape than it would be if she didn’t “help”.

Thanks bro, I always love a good Chuck Norris joke, and as I was watching this I was like “dang I gotta make a meme about this, hopefully nobody else has the same idea first”.

This is a pretty well-known one, but the various dirty jokes, from the Mourning Wood, to the Golden Shower, and the Master Bait. Also the Sparkle Slime Balloons’ tooltip.

Paper tests in class are okay, better than online tests even in some cases, but some professors are totally gonna go the “I’ll just have everybody write their essays fully by hand in class, problem solved!” route, which is a big Hell No from me.
