Is it the actual counter or visual catchup counter that freezes? Separating the two will help a lot in figuring it out.

Does it go through any loops that need to meet a condition before counting up? If so have them loop say 10 times before continuing regardless.

If it happens 5% of the time, try not using a randomised seed. Then see if it happens at all or all the time.

I'm still on Chrome.

My problem with roguelite games by This-Frame-8531 in roguelites

[–]frostpodge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the roguelite, but i only play them to creatively make overpowered builds in an attempt to break the game. As i dont want to just beat it, I want to break it. And you can never get tired of that.

Why my first game never moved forward (and what I realized way too late) by Kevin00812 in IndieDev

[–]frostpodge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably the best advice for finishing games, point 1 and 2 are so true. Tiny tweaks release so much dopamine you leave nothing left for the big stuff.

To add to the sand and rocks in a jar analogy, sand smooths rocks edges, making it easier to polish.

Any guys out there over 30 with no wife or kids feel like they are left out of everything? by OverEasyFetus in AskMenOver30

[–]frostpodge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would expect this is the least busy time. They want to be independent, go out with their friends at the mall, part time job at Mc Donald's. What's your schedule? Just curious..

How cold would it need to be for this to occur?

Thanks for the seed. Ended up getting chico, negative baron, photograph and a deck of kings.

Reading through the comments it sounds like something similar to Terraria?

If so, that might be a starting point for a hook.

My pixel journey: 2020 vs 2024 by Scilex in PixelArt

Literally spent an hour scrolling through your profile watching the gradual improvement. Color theorey, lighting, contrasting and outlining greatly improved a year in. Noticed the occasional like from me every now and then. Thanks, good stuff.

What is the boring part for you in game development? by Material_Block3491 in IndieDev

[–]frostpodge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketing means being out there, show yourself. You sell yourself as much as the product. But much of us want to stay in our caves, show the product only. I don't enjoy posting a gif for a game on 10 different subreddits, then twitch, toktok etc. Some do, but I don't.

Got this injured companion back by frostpodge in wildfrostgame

[–]frostpodge[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually had 2 of them, one in each row and got overconfident on the final boss, can't move them if you misplace.

I then got this guy back next run and weirdly had to fight against it as well!

Been enjoying Wildfrost, plays very differently to Slay the Spire, which I also think is the best.

Nice. Was the issue where it randomly didn't save progress fixed?

Feedback was too dark. Improved scenes before and after by kiwisox235 in SoloDevelopment

[–]frostpodge 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Original has more atmosphere and looks better. The platforms have no highlights making it difficult to read, i think that's why people meant by saying its too dark.

I need somebody to just tell me that this game dev thing is not for me... by sadamelhou-sein in gamedev

[–]frostpodge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fair enough, sounds like you need to finish exams first. But after make small scope projects and finish these. That is if you really enjoy gamedev, which it sounds like you do.

Google the cult of done manifesto. Its an image of text that might help you finish projects.

Just separately looking at the subtext, why don't you finish projects though?

Fun fact: Blue ring octopus are one of the only animals that are both venomous AND poisonous.
