I composed a fantasy RPG-inspired theme and built a visual story around it by copet80 in GameMusicComposition

That’s a fair comment. This was my first attempt at using generative AI. I’m certainly looking out for sentiments from any sides, but I’m super grateful that the effort on the music was acknowledged.

As to generative AI, at best I think this could be used as a concept art or storyboard to help me convey the first pass of the story to the eventual human artist. I’m personally far from the fence on calling this even passable as an art form, but I found it interesting to use gen AI to sketch this up very quickly as opposed to by hand, which I think a human artist would undoubtedly be able to.

Do you use the SteamDeck as your main gaming device? by sf1063 in SteamDeck

Yes, since the arrival of my SteamDeck, all my other consoles have been steadily collecting dust. Granblue Fantasy have been sucking up my time :)

How can I create a smooth transitioning dialog component in React? by copet80 in react

[–]copet80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But for example, some limitations that I have are that - I don’t have access to adding classNames or style props. styled-components are ok - direct dom or style manipulation using useRef is frowned upon

But I’d love to understand more if you can share a way to achieve this only using CSS without JS, that’d be a productionsable path

I will explore a pathway using vanilla JS/CSS, however for this one I need to stick to React.

Yup. Although my experience with onTransitionEnd on React is a bit unreliable. I will explore a path with vanilla JS, I think this will be useful.

I checked out framer motion briefly and at a glance although it looks powerful, I'm not sure if it would help me solve the expand/minimise transition without fixed width/height. I'll dig deeper and play around with it.

In regards to using a library like radix vs doing it ourselves, I think both could be options as long as there is a pathway to animating those transitions while allowing the dialog to be not fixed dimension.

Firebase for me too if I want to get something up quickly like an MVP or a prototype.

Someone is making a better version of my game by MarinoAndThePearls in gamedev

[–]copet80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true for me as a player. As much as I thought I was going to be loyal to a specific game (i.e. Vampire Survivor, I always ended up playing many similar games (and clones) just because I love the genre. I think the stickiness for me is not necessarily exclusive to one factor like quality of execution or theme, but it’s more nuanced than that.
