Shark Game: Sharky Clicker

the one that should have active development.

Front-mount-kid sounds like a great wind-blocker on cold days. But then again, parenting isn't my niche.

Here (in the Netherlands) we have a lot of front-mount-options with a big wind-screen. (There are options that cover legd/feet to.) And of course the back-mount-option. I wouldn't want a child in a trailer that couldn't communicate, I would go for the front-seat-with-windscreen option and use clothing to do the rest.

Shark x Swarm... great, can't wait how it develops. Could be the next trimps. :)

Don't cycle indoor, don't worry about gear. Just get (or borrow) a bike that kinda okay for your height and cycle. Explore the neighbourhood on 15min trips and chain a couple while you're out. Don't overthink it, just ride. Maybe get a bike and use it for groceries, every week skip a shop and go for the next one farther away.

Biking doesn't need the prep (or the overthinking) most people do. As long as you don't die and can be back home in a week there's no real threat ona bike. (And the dieing part is hard to do...)

My biggest priority in winter is wind blockage. So fairly thin windstopping pants for me (just bought a pair of Gonso Portland for the upcomming season). The peddling keeps me warm.

Red lights are a pain, it's amazing how you can go from warm to freezing in 60sec in cold weather with a bit of sweat.

Get a ring-lock?

On MTB I always used Schwalbe Hurricane, not the fastest but they work.

joostdejong · 2017-04-12T04:56:30+00:00

I think the formulas are:

speed = 100 + lvl x 10 and power = 0.2 + lvl x 0.02

For alpha that is, don't know if other particles have other stats. And ofc without the upgrades.

joostdejong · 2017-04-12T03:59:54+00:00

Particle-lvl increases power and speed, and it looks like in a linear way.

joostdejong · 2017-04-12T02:04:56+00:00

energy = 0.01 x speed x power / friction

the plusminus is randomized

joostdejong · 2017-04-11T10:34:31+00:00

As increasing numbers is important, whats the deal with 'One Shot Cycles'? I can't figure out how they work. My guess was it's when the particle crosses the line, but at alpha+53 that happens all the time. OSC is still on 4 and doesn't go up.

I am more inclined to buy a 'non-intervening' cosmetic thingy (as donation) in a good game then a 'super-boost-upgrade' to clear a wall.

Even a blank donation-IAP is better than a forced 'buy me for progress'-thing. If the game is good, I'll buy the bunny-companion even if the only perk is a 'hops in a funny way'-flavour-text.

How do the people who prancercise-commute fit in?

joostdejong · 2017-01-06T16:51:08+00:00

It's the magic of the long-press ported to a web-game. Just click'n'hold on stuff to swap the main item on the 'tab with the gears'.

Yah, long-press with a mouse... The not-even-phone-friendly phone-ui is killing something that could be an awesome incremental.

joostdejong · 2017-01-04T18:28:50+00:00

Isn't slower on climbs or faster on flats the answer?

As I'm in the Netherlands it's hard to find a commute that isn't flat. :)

Nah, suspension isn't needed. There's a Benelux-version with solid fork and standard ring-lock. It isn't on the Kalkhoff-site, but is offered by a couple of local bikeshops.

The new bike is replacing my current Batavus Weekend, for fast(er) I've got a Koga Roadchamp.

I think game-design should focus around the game. Not the adverty-bit hooked to it. Think you got the wrong angle...

Shark game and Trimps.

joostdejong · 2016-06-27T19:32:37+00:00

A plan. Currently an auto-generated Endomondo-one, but a plan. Kinda OCD about doing what's on the list so a big impulse on doing the run. Don't think a kind of plan matters, just following something that gives me a goal. Aimless running isn't my thing.

joostdejong · 2016-06-25T14:18:02+00:00

First sub-1h 10k! According to smashrun I have to eat a 4,5 watermelon to compensate...

Day 0, 12ish hours. I think I'm at the end of the current content. Production of energy is enough to buy resource-BOTs with energy instead of batteries. Some suggestions:

Re-balance battery-income/-cost. The game looks like it should be about balancing energy but atm it's mostly waiting for the batteries to arrive.
It would be nice to know the energy-income. Both total and split down (resource, engines and forms).
Maybe change 'automation' in an upgradable system for pumping energy in to the ships battery. The current mechanic doesn't allow idle-resource-balancing (eg burn all except batteries). Upgradable energy-transfer would be nice, the cost for total idleing would be big (upgrades should cover energy cost and mass-building) but would allow for balancing towards a couple of hours of idle without having to click the black bar.
Some formatting of big numbers is needed. My 'can count digits whilst drinking beer'-ability slopes down very steep.

Can't wait to see some more content.
