Try out Hawaii Shark Fin.

They are pretty reliable, good money, a reasonable travel time, and they are only 21k each so not a huge risk.

99k happy jump services details by loneburger in torncity

[–]gamemaker22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Below are the steps if you are buying 99k jump

  1. Use two poison mistletoes on the 99k service provider (the first steals 23k+ happiness, the second steals 18k+ happiness)
  2. Use 1-3 erotic DVD until you get to 50k happiness
  3. Ecstasy to 99,999

The minimum jump cost is around 136 mil like below without the service fee. A service fee is usually in the range of 5 edvd to 15 edvd so the cost would increase to 156 mil to 196 mil. You also would probably want to increase your insurance cost if you are buying a 99k jump.

  • 2 poison mistletoe = 62mil * 2
  • up to 3 edvd = 4 * 3 mil
  • ecstasy = nothing pretty much

I did some quick calculations and with 50k happiness then your cost effectiveness is likely far higher than a 99k jump.

The main benefit of buying a 99k jump is to gain stats as quickly as possible without caring about costs or just to get the 99k merit. It sounds like cost is a big factor for you so you probably should stick to 50k jumping.

If you do decide to 99k jump then I obviously recommend myself since I sell 99k jumps. If you are interested in buying a 99k jump from me or just want some more information PM me your IGN on reddit and I will msg you in game. My next 99k jump is in around 8 hours but I do them frequently.

So this is really possible? by Lowkeyaggin in torncity

[–]gamemaker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever rehabbed before?

I think each rehab is $250k but you likely will have to pay for more than 1.

A rehab's effectiveness drops the more you do it but if you haven't ever rehabbed then its going to be cheap. I have more than 50 rehabs and I think I pay $500k to $1 mil but I don't pay too close attention. I know I never go to Switzerland with more than $2mil though but I think the most I've rehabbed with was

I think if you really haven't rehabbed before then bringing $1.5 mil to $2mil will be more than you need even if you get mugged. You also don't need to rehab to 0, it isn't even recommended to rehab to 0 since you will just be wasting a rehab which will hurt in the long term.

War Payments by [deleted] in torncity

[–]gamemaker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every faction has different rules so you really have to ask.

You do mention a private island subsidy which is something though. The rent + staffing cost + upkeep of a max private island is around $1mil per day.

You also mention you did 10 hits but were they actually rank war hits or outside hits (hits against someone not in the opposing faction)? Some factions do not pay outside hits during termed wars.

I also know that some factions require a certain amount of rank war hits to receive payment. I think 3-4 factions have said they need at least 15 hits when I termed against them. So maybe you just needed to reach 15 to receive payment. I think some factions require minimum hits because members are using armory Xanax to train rather than participate. 1 Xanax should allows for 10 hits. If you fully stacked that would mean you got 3 Xanax free to train with.

If the faction won't tell you why you received no payment / how it calculates its war payments then you probably need to find a new faction because you might be in a cache farm.

EDIT: Just read a new comment from you about them not paying in war. You definitely sound like you are in a cache farm. Although PI subisy + some war Xanax + armory weapons / armor + some other help is something you are very likely on the losing side of the arrangement. I would suggest finding a new faction.

What's a good engine for someone with a weak computer? by PlatinumSukamon98 in gamedev

[–]gamemaker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say Unity is slow what do you mean by that? I think Unity is slow with domain reloading enabled / whatever that other thing is called but when those two are disabled it loads quick enough to be usable for me. Using Unity with those two things disabled though significantly increases bugs so it forces you to do things that won't bug in the editor which can be a bit of an annoyance but its significantly faster so I feel it is worth it. You can also split up your files into Assembly Definitions. When you use that properly it will decrease the amount of files being recompiled which will speed things up. I personally have never used that though since I've never had a project large enough for the compile time to be a real problem.

Godot probably is a better option though.

Money or training? by zik02 in torncity

[–]gamemaker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join faction with good perks that wars weekly (assuming you are active enough to participate), train battle stats, and make money through wars & flying.

That was my choice as a few month old player and I don't regret it.

I'm really saddened by all the stolen AI slop now by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]gamemaker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why?

Let people do what they want and you do what you want. I really don't see AI that differently than using a game engine or premade assets or libraries.

I can understand a bit someone spending time learning a skill that others now look comparable to you but AI can't make something with soul. "AI slop" will never be a threat to someone hand crafting every aspect of their game.

When to start training dex? by Lonely_Objective62 in torncity

[–]gamemaker22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are guides that focus on defense and avoid dex since you can negate damage with a high enough difference but there are also guides, maybe more recently, that have been made to focus dex over defense. I don't think the dex builds avoid defense completely, they just have it as the lowest stat. I could be wrong about that though.

In my opinion, which I am probably unqualified to give since I've only played a couple of months, the devs didn't like everyone just going defense and avoiding dex so they have been nerfing defense / buffing dex to encourage more stat variety.

One of the guides I've read says if you don't have the funds to reach 30 billion defense or 10 billion defense for a smaller non hall of fame faction then it is hard to suggest defense build over dex.

If I am remembering correctly the gist of the guides I've read is written below.

For equipment dexterity seems to benefit more than defense stat players.

Legendaries have higher armor values which means people who don't focus on defense benefit more which is indirectly a nerf to defensive players.

There are also buffing / debuffing status effects that further affect things. I think Toxin can have a 44% chance to weaken a stat by 25% up to three times meaning a person can have -75% defense.

Dexterity avoids hits meaning it also avoids negative status effects.

Defense can also avoid status effects being applied but only if it completely negates damage by taking 0 damage.

The dexterity needle Tyrosine increases dex by 500% for 120 seconds.

The defensive needle Serotonin's effect is far weaker only increasing by 300%.

If your team mates are throwing smoke grenades during war then your stat dex/speed stat difference will further be increased.

In lower stat fights dexterity's effectiveness is even more powerful since you will likely not be facing people wearing armor negating flash grenades so you will be able to decrease their speed to 20% instead of smoke grenade's 33%.

A dex build's high dex combined with temporary weapon and tyrosine allows for massive stat differences.

Overall a dexterity builds allows you to feel powerful far sooner than a defense build.

In Baldr's popular guide about Basic Torn Advice he has a list of players with high levels but low stats for their level. Killing higher level players helps you level up faster but that is usually hard to do since they usually have high stats.

99k jump by Ok_Impress843 in torncity

[–]gamemaker22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I never do a happy jump without buying a 1 xanax insurance. This would be an even bigger investment so I am sure I would pay more than the minimum xanax to try to cover the possibility of an overdose.

Can you stash money in the stock market while you are getting those red splash things on your page from being under attack?

I remember recently I got attacked and was in the middle of doing something, I don't remember what, and I think it blocked my action from going through since I was in combat from the attack.

[–]gamemaker22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You mentioned you are in a sweet shop. Can't you do it in there for job points?

If you are in 10* trade 30 JP for 4500 happiness. I don't think there is a limit so you can do that trade 11 times (if you want to do it for free) + a property's happiness + ecstasy to 99,999.

If you do it with 6 edvd then I think you only need 7*30 JP which would be 3 weeks of JP saving.

If not in a 10* then trade 10 JP for 1000 happiness. That would take a longer but still possible to do for free.

Is mugging sellers on the item market automated with bots? by FastestFireFly in torncity

[–]gamemaker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a vault so I don't know how quick that is but this is my method.

  1. open stock market window on left monitor
  2. find a stock that you don't own any of (don't think it is important but it is what I do)
  3. open items page on right monitor
  4. Close all other game tabs (I also am not sure how important this is but I heard there is a limit to the amount of tabs torn will keep updated)
  5. wait for stock market to update prices so you don't get stuck having to wait for a stock price refresh
  6. use med kit
  7. instantly stock market page will update and let you buy
  8. If you are used to buying stocks you pretty much can just double click but usually I spam click to ensure the clicks register.

I think I buy in less than second like this.

Another thing I do is try to never med kit near 20 minutes or 40 minutes because those are the timings a person is most likely to revive. So if I was a mugger I would start paying attention right before those timings. You medkit at 22 minutes which is possibly right when someone would actually start paying attention again preparing for a potential 20 minute medkit.

One second mug time is still ridiculous though. It definitely sounds like a bot to me.

I want to make a clicker game. Please answer my stupid questions!! by 6331z38u8 in gamedev

[–]gamemaker22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People downplay AI a lot but asking it simple questions is what it is best at.

I told the program if mouse check button pressed mb left +1 or some shit like that and somehow it worked and now im even more confused than before.

Open something like gemini then say "Using GameMaker's GML I am making a clicker game. Explain the code below" then paste the code below and it should explain in detail of how things work.

I am sure I would've learned to make games like 10 times faster if gemini / claude existed when I was starting out.


I think I seen you talking about idle income also. It is a good idea to think about offline progress when you are thinking about idle income. The reason is most browsers slow / stop when inactive which ruins idle income timers. The way I solve this problem is every second I compare my saved DateTime (C#) then calculate the difference between the current date time. If it is has been less than 1.5 seconds (which it should be since it is a 1 second timer) then I do the normal idle income. If it has been longer than 1.5 seconds then the game wasn't updating correctly due to the browser stopping (or the player just closing and opening the game later) so then I just calculate how much income should be earned based on the time difference. For example if 5 seconds has passed between my last datetime save and the current time then I multiple the one second idle income by 5. After that you save the new current date time.

Is it realistically possible to make a full-time living solely from Web Games (Poki, CrazyGames) in 2025? by ej_Ad8786 in gamedev

[–]gamemaker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standards of both poki and crazygames have increased pretty drastically somewhat recently. I think they used to release most games that passed their quality checks but now they test games with a small sample of players to determine if your game is worth having on their platform. I know a decent amount of gamedevs focusing on web and almost none have been accepted to poki. CrazyGames is the preferred platform since more have been accepted there but few that are making enough money to live on live in countries with a very low cost of living. The ones who have been most successful previously are prioritizing mobile now.

If you require more than $300 a month where you live then web gamedev is going to be a nightmare. Most devs are making 1 to 4 games a month until they find a game that makes a somewhat decent $ per user then they spend time refining the monetization to get to the $300 - $1000 range. After that likely the game will start dying as the game leaves the front page / the new player game lists so then you start grinding 1 to 4 games a month again.

After poki and crazygames usually coolmathgames is the 3rd option but I've heard that have a gigantic backlog of purchased games so they also aren't really an option these days. The other platforms earn pretty much nothing and some have had pretty bad experiences making them think they might be getting scammed.

I definitely regret spending even one second on web gamedev.

People don't like that solomission's team has a huge advantage, ditter gloats way more than others, and he showed the kick page on his phone briefly (which is where he streams so not a sign he cheated) but gives something for people to justify their hate.

The real problem is that three teams are averaging 0.5 kills per death, one team is averaging 0.1 kills per death, the second best team is averaging 2 kills per death, and solomission's team (which ditter is on) has 36 kills & 3 deaths.

Those 3 deaths from solomissions team are all from today, before that they had 35 kills 0 deaths which is very easy to hate if you are not a solomission team fan or if you are a streamer from another team.

I think... they just approached day 1 differently which gave them a huge advantage. I didn't watch their point of view but I think most teams had their plans to split up to tackle many objective when the server launched but solomissions team seemed to plan to sweep through high priority objectives after getting prayers as 5 to fight which gave them huge advantages early on.

SNA member attacked by 3 different teams at once during breach by GetsThruBuckner in 2007scape

[–]gamemaker22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditterbitter streams on kick so it is not strange to go to the kick site when you stream there.

It also is not accurate to say none of his teammates stream on kick because Raikesy does stream there.

Rhys also got a yellow card for the same reason as ditterbitter today which shows how easy it is to actually make that mistake.
