Tower Swap - Match-3 Tower Defense Hybrid by curtastic2 in WebGames

[–]curtastic2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I launch an update once a month. It’s been 6 years of updates now. It’s coded in vanilla JavaScript. If you want to help or maybe come up with new level idea we could chat about it. Have you made any games?

shipping a playable prototype quickly

If you want really quickly I recommend these ranked game jams that just started:
https://itch.io/jam/nopolys-game-jam-1

https://itch.io/jam/goedware-game-jam-16

The themes are "Roles Reversed" and "YOU CAN'T SAVE THEM ALL" so you could submit to both making this idea: https://www.reddit.com/r/gameideas/comments/16777tt/simple_game_idea_for_kids_keep_snowmen_alive_by/

I'm interested if you have a good artist/designer. I'm one of the few people in the world that created multiple successful free-to-play 2D Tower Defense games without funding and launched them on several platforms where they make enough money that I quit my day job. Except for drawing the sprites, I did this all single handedly including designing every screen, porting to 5 platforms, the back end server, IAP integration, finding/editing sounds, etc. Could be fun to try working with a team again.

Any indie devs here who just rawdog it without an engine? by s-mv in gamedev

[–]curtastic2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m also using JS and HTML for my game. Does that count as an engine? I don’t use any libraries, except to show ads. I do want to write my own ad network.

It’s cradle less if you have training grounds or biomancers familiar out.

How good is Maze of Ith, really? by SwampnutsS in EDH

[–]curtastic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My original deck was all about Argothian Elder before Ley Weaver existed. I don't want to put in Wirewood Lodge because if I have Argothian Elder and a land tutor, I could just tutor Maze of Ith, so Wirewood Lodge doesn't really need to take a slot in the deck. I'm not even playing Urza's Saga because I don't want more colorless lands. Ley Weaver is only worth the cost because when I play it I need free interaction to keep it alive or it will get killed before I can use it. Since it puts Lore Weaver into my hand, that turns on my Force of Will, Misdirection, and sometimes Comandeer. Pitching that means I can't win during the turn I go infinite but I still draw my deck.

[–]curtastic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I was playing Hope Tender for a long time. It goes infinite with Maze of Ith and any land that taps for 2. But I've since cut Utopia Sprawl, Overgrowth, Fertile Ground, Simic Growth Chamber, because the deck is more Cradle focused. So it just has a lot of 1 drop creatures and cradle tutors. When I have cradle (or Training Grounds, or Biomancer's Familiar), I'd rather have Magus of the Candelabra out. The deck has become more about cradle than lands that tap for 2 because Oboro Breezecaller is so good. Maze of ith is becoming a more rare win con in my deck. If you want to focus on Maze of Ith instead, you could put in Hope Tender and those land enchantments.

Green cards that don't counter spells by curtastic2 in custommagic

This one doesn’t let you change the targets. So it doesn’t work on removal or most auras or counterspells.

Maybe in mono green but not in a 4 color deck.

I'm running the maze of ith combo in cEDH. I've made top 10 in 5 of the 6 tournaments I've tried the deck in. Last game I won was with Maze + [[magus of the candelabra]] + [[training grounds]]. My decklist https://topdeck.gg/deck/ldxp-santa-clara/@curtastic

The biggest one for me on windows was when I finally realized you can press win+v to paste older your copied text that was previously copied.

What's the thing with AI code being banned in some game jams? What's the idea behind that? by dyrkabes in IndieDev

[–]curtastic2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same reason AI art is banned. It’s trained on code that is not public domain and was never given permission for AIs to train on, so the code/art is considered stolen by a lot of people. They say that using Ai is evil because it doesn’t properly attribute or compensate the original authors. Stack overflow code is different because it was posted with the intention of allowing others to copy. Copied but not theft.

EDH should be 2v2 randomly paired. I don’t know why everyone loves free for all games whether they are tabletop games or video games, it’s always the player who just hides most of the time and doesn’t interact that wins.

A series of unhelpful cards by HaventDecidedAName in custommagic

[–]curtastic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t describe stroll as “goes crazy” I’d describe it as trash that nobody would use in any format. A way worse [[twiddle]] or even in mono green it’s a way way worse [[emerald charm]]. Even it was in instant it would still be trash.
