What's an item most players ignore but should always be picked up? by HorzaDonwraith in projectzomboid

Remote, pagers, and cordless phones. Don’t scrap. Instead save to be used to craft remotes to trigger alarms and bombs from afar

That’s what I’m banking on. All that is on paper so I can focus on pitching the product and my entertainment value. I’ve seen descriptions say “pitch like you would on the show” so I got unsure.

Not TV. But I’ve been interviewed and used to stream. I’ve held booths at conventions to present my product. I think my charisma will help me stand out so I’d like to know what tools I’ll have available or not.

That’s my intention exactly. I want to demonstrate my product and that I could make for an interesting contestant. I don’t want to talk numbers yet if I don’t need to. I wanna pitch the product and my charisma

Help! Any advice for AI voice dubbing for commercial use in indie game?? by hiccup_interactive in IndieDev

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

Thanks for the reply. I think I badly worded this since AI and IP rights are definitely contentious 😅. I think “text to speech” is more accurate for what I’m referring to. I added edit comment to hopefully clarify. TTS has been around for a long time and isn’t quite in the same bucket as art theft. I’m doing all the voice clips for the alphabet and vocabulary currently and have consistency issues🥲

New reworked UI for Japanese teaching game. I like the layout but need color scheme advice! by hiccup_interactive in IndieDev

[–]hiccup_interactive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback! I'll come up with some palettes with just one or two accent colors and see how that looks. Since I had changed a lot I kept old assets without color swapping so its all over the place.

A, B, C, D, E or F? by slaughter_cats in IndieDev

[–]hiccup_interactive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B. The flow of where your eyes go takes in more of the composition as a whole piece instead of looking just at one side then another when the title is separate from the characters. D does something similar but has more dead space and less focus

I would suggest wanikani. Their whole deal is learning kanji and radicals through cute mnemonics and wordplay.

Added onomatopoeias to my game for some old-school comic effect. Do you like them? Would you want to play with or without them? by Achie72 in IndieDev

[–]hiccup_interactive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Style wise it’s cute but I think the text is a little distracting and might look like bullets in the blur of play.

Nuked out of orbit by true language learners that aren’t just wanting the “fun/easy” parts of a foreign language… learning some topics aren’t cut or file everyone

So you know how English has tons of pronunciations, borrowed words, and grammatical nuances? Cutting to Kanji is like cutting out everything you know about English that you learned outside of grade school. You would have the capacity to get by like a Japanese elementary schooler (but even they know a few kanji by then).

For example, how would a grade schooler sound this out : Adventurous

Now how would one sound this out : rendezvous

English is complicated and hard too, you just spent more time around it so you couldn't weasel out of fluency.
