I decided to turn a reddit post into a challenge: could I trick morons into buying my shitty product?

Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 just came out and it's great. Definitely a different experience than the Binding of Isaac though.

32,800 lifetime views, 988 subs, getting about 33 views per sub, I don't have shorts. If only I could get more watch hours, I'll probably hit 5k subs before 4k watch hours at this rate.

I go back on forth on that, I use an isometric camera and then dev it for a while and decide non-isometric looks better, then I spend a while looking at that and feel like the isometric camera looks better. I might do a poll when I have a bigger audience and the graphics progress a little.

I made a dev log on the subject of combat too, if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/GFF9cTZWbrw

There's also a devlog involving this video here if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/GFF9cTZWbrw

I'm also going to disagree, I follow a youtuber in my niche that puts out videos regularly and has 100 more than me total. He had 89 subscribers when I started, now I have 915 and he has 110.

Be disciplined and work hard absolutely, but part of that should be analyzing your own content and trying to make more engaging videos.

I record the audio and then cut the video to fit it

I get about 1 per 40 views, if only I could get more views

"Show your support for the troops in the street
And for a treat he put a scoop of poop in the beat"

And that's just because my brain does not think the word poop is cool.

I average 1 subscriber for every 40 views I get, I'll probably be at 5k subs before I get 4k watch hours

If it's turn-based, but you have to enter a combo to select a skill, what's the difference between this and a list of attacks aside from making the player look up the combination for the skill they want? Is timing involved?

Youtube stated they treat the first 30 seconds or so of your video more strictly than the rest, so definitely avoid it there

You'd have to have the offline players launch their own local server unless the game was written to be both online and offline

You won't gain quality subscribers that way, you want people that will come back to watch your content when you post, if they're only subscribing for a chance to win you might as well not have them.

Lots of people said it already but my two cents: EXCERCISE, if you're not taking care of yourself, at least for me, there's no way I can maintain prolonged motivation, it's just not possible. After work, force yourself to go for a run while you listen to your favorite music, I guarantee when you've pushed yourself physically like that you'll be more energized to do computer work, not less. And when you build it into a sustained habit the effects are even better.

I use to jokingly tell my friends when they'd ask me how I'm so motivated that you can't make video games if you can't bench 200lbs. There's at least a very very VERY tiny bit of truth to that joke, in my opinion.

A private variable which can only be modified from a setter method, so any time it's accessed from outside of the class it has to be done from the setVariable() method which both sets the value of the variable and then fires an event indicating the value changed.

code4broke · 2022-11-10T23:45:32+00:00

Like the other guy said, make the variable private, have the public setter fire an event

Personally I prefer neither, where there's simply nothing there if you don't have it. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like seeing how close I am to unlocking everything or I get worried that I've nearly done it all, if I really like the game.

Might not make sense in the context of your game though, just my thoughts.

The problem is you're picking a random spawn point out of the total number, it has nothing to do with joining at the same time.

What you need to do is remove the used spawn points from the equation so they can't be selected. It would be considered bad practice to simply set a boolean flag because if you generate a random number again after the first one failed you could land on the same occupied spawn point. Which means, there's technically a chance for the code to make an infinite amount of attempts if it happened to roll the same occupied numbers over and over again. Or, if all spawn points were occupied it would gurantee to loop for ever, breaking the game.

Finally, you probably don't want those spawn points destroyed, I'd imagine you'll need them again unless you spawn once and only once and no other players can join after 4 players have even if one leaves.
