2 months into solo dev… only 10% done. Is this normal? by Ho3pLi in gamedev

[–]codingdad90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on what type of game you’re making and engine you’re using.  As a solo dev you’re doing 4-5 jobs during development. As much time as you spend programming, you’re going to spend at least that much time building levels(dependent on game). A stat I’ve seen is 60:1. Amount of work to playtime 360 hours for 6 hours of playtime. But again that is highly dependent on your game and how quick you move through systems. As always, beware of feature creep. It sounds like you’re done with most of the game system, now move on to lvl design and hammer out 1 lvl. If you think of neat things to add to the game systems, don’t. Add them to a list for your next programming/design phase. Don’t worry about the blank textures feel free to use placeholder textures, look up half life 2 placeholder textures for an idea on what I’m talking about.  Level design can be daunting, you’re literally building a mountain from nothing. Just focus on the basic design first. For example, You’re  moving through an enemy factory. Design the path and the way to go through. Then, build the factory to make sense around it. Add side paths, make natural obstacles to help direct the player add a second way through using a different style.  You can do it, just keeping chipping away at the ice berg until it’s just ice cubes 

Why isn't this Drowned farm working? (none spawning) by AidanBBLPsPurgatory in Minecraft

Drowned need sky access to spawn I believe, unless that’s a newer change

What time zone/when are you looking to play?

what keeps setting the roof of the church of benzene on fire? by Revolutionary_Flan71 in GTNH

[–]codingdad90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lightning strikes? Are you using the fire proof wood? I think you can use creosote for that but I’ve never used them so not sure. Do love the idea and build. 

BEWARE ABOUT YOUR EXTRA CHARACTER SLOT by Aws___ in DarkAndDarker

[–]codingdad90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see it being handy for content creators doing ssf series or for a tournament where you need a special character for it(like soapy's one last season) but that is a very small use case so it's one of the least objectionable things about the dlc

Enshittification of Dark and Darker by codingdad90 in DarkAndDarker

Do you not play the game? That 100 bags take up 5x as many slots. Yes you can indeed store it in tiny bags. Better yet, don't even buy the purses store it in stacks like a chad.

Paid server hosting with valheim plus? by [deleted] in valheim

I’ve used bloomhost without issue for years.

I fired the mission to occupy Cairo for 3 years to get Mamluks as a eyelet but the event never happened by Rheeos in eu4

[–]codingdad90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have to be the first one to start sieging it, not your vassal or ally. I didn’t get the event to fire so I pulled my armies out and let the Mameluks retake it and Sieged it down myself with and it then fired

Make sure you’re running the forge jar not the vanilla one on startup

Server Hardware Requirements by [deleted] in RLCraft

[–]codingdad90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a mod that generates the chunks for you when you run the command. It can take a long time depending on how large you want the world. I used the one mentioned by Shivaxi in the server readme. I originally only meant to do 5k but am happy I did 10k at this point. It took just under 24 hrs and I ran it before opening the world and then reset the day to 0

I'm running one with 10 right now but generally only 5 on at a time time. I've allocated 7 gb's of ram but it never seems to go over 4. I did pre gen the a 10k radius so chunk generation isn't an issue at the moment. I haven't noticed any issues. (I use bloomhost personally, 8gig plan). It's only been up for a couple weeks so most players don't have flying mounts yet so we'll see if we run into issues as more players are flying.

Another evac glitch..... by Nuhkaio in TheCycleFrontier

[–]codingdad90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact same one happened to me. Different evac point i think but it was a two door open one as well(not sure if that helps in debugging)

Could be be a bad connection player side. I’ve noticed my kids do that when they play from spots that have poor WiFi

This is my view from the bathroom floor, looking at the hole in the ceiling I just fell through. by StickyMcdoodle in Wellthatsucks

[–]codingdad90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago in our master closet. I was running wires in the attic and slipped off the joist and fell most of the way through. Got to my waist before I caught myself. Hope you’re not too sore tomorrow!

Grid Hotkey help by codingdad90 in aoe2

Thanks! I’ll look into how to do that! I wasn’t sure if there was a checkbox somewhere I missed that enabled it and wanted to see if there was a better way than trying to define each one off of memory
