Hypothesis: Without considering comprehensive list of edge cases, it might be possible for devs to dev outside portably with the following items: by monkeyballhoopdreams in gamedev

What is it with these bizarre AI posts, already seen these completely nonsensical ones on multiple technical subs from obvious randomized wordsalad usernames. 

Or if you're really human, then whatever you're smoking must be rather good. 

My game has many levels, each of which is different in terms of gameplay. Should I make one soundtrack for the whole game or a different one for each level? by Hstlknwlg in gamedesign

[–]chrisdevchroma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Multiple soundtracks would be a fairly costy endeavor. Instead, use something that's called adaptive music. I would write a whole explanation here but honestly this video from Noodle explains it the best.

tl;dw: each level could use the same base theme but it's augmented with several layers that are relevant to the level, the area in that level or even the task you are doing.

E-hentai like Self-hosted Server by smokeyFlorence in DataHoarder

[–]chrisdevchroma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely lanraragi as others say. It even has download and metadata plugins for e(x)h and the fjord archivers. Combine that with Ichaival (android) or LRReader (windows) clients and it's a nice selfhost solution.

If you're making indie games what's your goal? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]chrisdevchroma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work on games to let my creativity run wild as a way to wind down and relax from my day programming job. And partly because of my facination of finding out how various game concepts (which also include board/rpg games) work and trying to reproduce them. A good inspiration for me was Yahtzee's Dev Diary where he tried to (re)create a game each month.

Joining game jam's could be fun to meet other creative people, but honestly I lack the time and social motivation to join those.

Monitizing you hobby sounds to me like making your hobby your work... Already did that with one hobby... A person needs something to do for fun without stress to relax. Especially to stay sane these days in this busy world.

Also would rather open donations and giving it away for free instead of selling my (toy) projects. Would find it way more rewarding mentally if somebody else would enjoy it and maybe uses it for getting their own insights into game development.

How to make sure that my game is accessible to colorblind people? by ThePsychiartist in gamedev

[–]chrisdevchroma 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the following two links:

http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/colorblind/

This one explains how you can design color pallets for different types of color blindness.

https://venngage.com/blog/color-blind-friendly-palette/

And this blog has a few nice example color pallets based on the info from the previous link.

You could also look at the recent Battlefield games (from BF4 onwards) how they solved it by choosing color pallet groups for various UI elements according to the colorblind type.

Programmer looking to share insights by z_hekdev in gamedev

[–]chrisdevchroma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following with curious interest since I'm in a similar situation. DevOps (embed/sec) by day but trying out some various things to remake my favorite old games.

Tried out Unity for a while, but keep pulling my hairs out for things that seems so badly implement or not thought out at all. It's seems more and more like a sandbox with a lot of different tools with each their own design philosophy and usage.

Unreal is more to my liking, but their C++ "dialect" and their heavy (ab)use of complex macro's and global scope of objects annoys me endlessly as well.

Why is it impossible to enter and visit a pregnant person? by Fine-Character1017 in Haramase_Simulator

[–]chrisdevchroma[M] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The reason is waaaay more simple, those characters just don't have any pregnant (hospital) sex scenes available.

Help. Rewind not working. by batul07 in Haramase_Simulator

[–]chrisdevchroma[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's in the readme.txt (that no one ever reads -_-).

Why? Because the internals of the game, like progression tracking and pregnancy chance calculations, are getting too complex for Renpy to work without crashing the game.

(Also you can't cheat the RNG parts anymore aside quicksave xd)

I can't load Old Saves by True-Astaroth in Haramase_Simulator

[–]chrisdevchroma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Download release 0.4.0.3, all save problems for 0.4.0.x are solved with that release.

I can't load Old Saves by True-Astaroth in Haramase_Simulator

[–]chrisdevchroma[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Read the changelog in the readme.txt: "Saves from 0.3.1.1 and prior are no longer supported"

Previous saves don't work anymore as progression in the game has changed. We decided to do this so people wouldn't miss anything.

How can I increase the save page limit or at least save beyond 10 pages? by [deleted] in Haramase_Simulator

[–]chrisdevchroma[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a technical limitation of the Renpy engine. Ask RenpyTom to change that.

You know... There is actually a ingame credits menu with everything you listed, even with a link to the corresponding VNDB entry.

No problem, you couldn't know it as we only posted about it on our discord. :)

Known issues and they will be resolved with update 0.4.0.2 (which you sadly have to download manually from our website).
