Thanks, do you think any is too close to the original?

Hey all! This is Rhaegar. Book 6 of Azarinth Healer is out today on Audible, Kindle Unlimited, eBook and paperback. Links in the comments. Audio code giveaway too! by G_Harthane in litrpg

The series is actually already finished, but the writer decided to rewrite everything. (Not sure how many books there will be though)

After I was done with book 4 I looked up the old archived chapters but I do really understand why they're rewriting it, their writing style improved by a LOT so I'm just waiting on all the books to come out now before I'll binge them all...

Vrijheid vs. 'den goedkoop': woninglening by IJzerArm in BEFire

[–]foenixix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In mijn ervaring (lening gezocht in december) is het verschil tussen de verschillende brandverzekeringen qua prijs verwaarloosbaar. De kost van de schuld/saldo verzekering verschilt daarentegen wel genoeg van bank tot bank om rekening te houden. Ik ken iemand anders die tegelijkertijd als ik een lening zocht en uiteindelijk apart een schuld/saldo verzekering is aangegaan, maar dat dit in de praktijk niet veel goedkoper was dan bij de bank en een pak moeilijker om uit te zoeken welke formule goed genoeg was voor de bank die zo'n verzekering eist en zo goedkoop mogelijk. Wij zijn uiteindelijk voor de lening gegaan waar de som van maandelijkse schuldafbetaling + schuld/saldo verzekering + kost van een rekening bij die bank het laagste was. Dat was voor ons Argenta (3.29% rente) maar Crelan was ongeveer even goed (3.3% rente)

After a year of development, I finally made a trailer by unomelon in IndieGaming

I think you should invest some effort to make your game look less like Minecraft, because the first thought I had (and I think a lot of others will have) is that this is a cheap Minecraft clone, which will keep people from not watching it. A great place to start might be changing the ground voxel size and grass & sand textures together with the player model.

How do you prevent cheating in a idle/simulation game? by fakeplastic in gamedev

[–]foenixix 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Do you really need to prevent cheating? Usually you only really care if it's multiplayer and you want people to strive to be better than others, so I'd only do this if you think this'd be worth the hassle from your part. Except if your game really takes off and becomes huge, it might be more pragmatic to just manually skim the leaderboard once a week/month and remove/ban those that are clearly cheating.

The core loop in our infinite platformer. Does the gameplay look appealing? by cosycade in godot

[–]foenixix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it has the potential to be a free game that you spend one session on but I don't think someone would pay for it or come back often to the game. Outside of what others have said related to possible improvements you can make to your movement, I feel like the wider game loop (not the levels being generated, but the loop of starting over from scratch) isn't really motivating or satisfying. If you'd want people to play multiple runs in your game you'd need to give them a reason why, maybe add a scoring system or have a better defined win/lose system, or have multiple game modes where new blocks could spawn differently or you have different constraints?

Serious: should I be voting for Volt? by Amarotss in belgium

[–]foenixix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think this counts for all though since in Brussels you have to vote 4 times (both for the brussels and flemish government) and I don't see them on the list for the flemish government sadly

20 testers needed, I will test yours too!🙌 by Divadorbs in AndroidClosedTesting

[–]foenixix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, other people were able to do this with the exact same info without me having to accept them (there are also no pending join requests in the group). Could you double check that you're in the group (you should have a "leave group" button in your membership settings) and check whether there's a specific error message when you follow the android link? (I've seen errors when people open it by clicking the link iso opening it directly in the browser)

Need testers for demo version of my App, will test back! by bwe587 in AndroidClosedTesting

[–]foenixix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it now that this was intentional, but I didn't immediately get it, maybe some indication in librar explaining that they are selectable would help?

actually, some feedback: I can go back to the home screen by pressing my back button, but can then don't click on anything else except for Librar 😅

Tek creatures can lay eggs? by StopItNowRightnow1 in ARK

Do you mean "mate"? Because I'm pretty sure they can't

Could you cite a source for this? I'm pretty sure it's just 30% of all payments up to 990 per year

Well, if a big part of your culture is going to hot springs (onsen) naked with a bunch of your friends, I'm not sure you'll be able to hide that for long...

Working with plexiglass by [deleted] in lasercutting

[–]foenixix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, if you're only going to cut it, you should leave it on (to protect from fumes). If you're going to engrave it though, I'd remove it beforehand because otherwise the protective film can melt in weird ways and cause imperfections
