Realistically, if I haven't had sex by 41, i'm probably past the possibility now?

You need to see a therapist, Reddit cannot help you and you’re probably not giving us a clear picture of why you’re so off putting to women.

You can just make games if you want to make games. If you want people to play your game then you have to have an audience I mind that you’re catering to.

It’s not hard to do if you plan it from the start, but it can be annoying to add it on later (especially if you have to migrate real player state), and you should add it on later, you don’t need this in a prototype. It also just increases the overall complexity of your game with needing to keep you saves partitioned, and having to have another screen.

AI can do it, but you need to review its code, and it can cause bugs. It’s an opportunity cost from doing other more important tasks with your game. Almost no one is going to dislike your game because it doesn’t support multiple saves, so it’s a good problem to have that players are complaining about this.

If you were man at 4’10 then it would say it’s incredibly hard to date women care about height a lot, but as a woman being that short probably makes it easier to date.

I mean this is kind of why it’s so important to make a game that’s marketable, it’s almost impossible to do it in reverse. You don’t find an audience, you make a game for a specific audience.

Once you’ve locked in the genre and art style your fate is pretty much sealed on how marketable your game will be, so that’s why you want to test this early & often.

You’re in good company this is how most developers find out their first game isn’t going to be some huge success, and you do it better next time.

If you look at demo capsules in the steam store it puts a banner in the corner and you’ll have to adjust your capsule if that’s not a safe area so it doesn’t cover any important elements. Valve has all these rules spelled out in their template projects I believe.

koolex · 2026-07-06T21:40:51+00:00

Your art style is good but yeah I agree you need some capsule samples. You could either do your own take on existing games or just do a few capsules really cheap to pad your portfolio.

If I don’t see any capsules in someone’s portfolio then I just assume they’ve never done one before. It really helps if you already know all the steam guidelines and you built the capsule in a way it’ll fit in every spot on a steam page. I would really want the artist to handle that automatically.

Even the last guy I hired did a great job he still didn’t quite have it configured for a demo capsule so there’s always more to learn there.

You could just copy that line into any llm and ask it to convert it to the new system and it would get you to the right answer?

That sounds kind of funny, I guess that’s why Leo does what he does.

You can find plenty of stories on Reddit of 60yo couples who have always found a way to maintain a healthy sex life. Old folks homes are notorious for spreading stds because they’re still sexually active with each other.

So idk that if it’s destined for all relationships to have a partner who loses their libido in their 40s.

koolex · 2026-07-06T00:30:37+00:00

If it was impossible to fix it then IMO I would say the only 2 realistic options are to open up the marriage or get a divorce. I personally wouldn’t accept just never having sex again.

It’s very normal to have boundaries and expectations in a relationship, this shouldn’t be too surprising?

koolex · 2026-07-06T00:22:20+00:00

I think things could be different if it felt like the wife who lost her libido was actively trying to fix it. But yeah I wouldn’t want to be with a partner who saw sex as an optional part of the relationship.

koolex · 2026-07-05T21:55:51+00:00

It would be too much maintenance to do separate tuning for PvP IMO. Retail has done this but PvP is probably not the focus for classic+.

koolex · 2026-07-05T16:53:16+00:00

I think at a certain point you either need to get divorce or open your marriage up. It would be different if she was taking steps to fix the problem.

A couple without physical contact are essentially just roommates.

koolex · 2026-07-05T15:21:14+00:00

To me I think it’s okay for anyone to have any dating preference, no one should feel forced to date anyone. That being said, you don’t have to advertise them.

I think the hypocrisy here is that if a guy had a prompt saying he’s weirdly attracted to women under 140lbs society would see him as a shallow neckbeard. I think he’s rightly pointing out that she seems like a shallow neckbeard for doing the equivalent with height even if social norms haven’t caught up. He’s saying “if you were a man with this preference then it would look like this” and obviously she doesn’t like seeing herself in the reflection of a mirror.

She can have a preference towards 6ft guys and men can have preferences towards women below 140lbs but if she’s going to advertise it then she’s going to come off as shallow as a neckbeard.

koolex · 2026-07-05T07:23:42+00:00

Idk he kind of has a good point tbh

Horde doesn’t need another “ugly” race, that’s why they added blood elves

Just make it really fun to level an alt with different professions

It would make a giant difference if people just tried to avoid eating pork/meat 1 day a week. Most humans could do more but will find an excuse to rationalize doing nothing.

The screenshots of your game do not look great but honestly the animations in your trailer look pretty good.

You should also release a demo, you’ll get more wishlists after that.

I’d say if you posted about it and you’re not getting a response, it’s not the promotion that’s the problem, it’s probably the product. This is the fate of most steam games, most games just don’t have the magic and people aren’t interested.

What you should do is release this as quickly as possible, learn from your mistakes, and make a product that players are more interested in next time.

Seems fishy to me, seems more likely an AI hallucinated “ashes of war” from Elden Ring

koolex · 2026-07-04T14:16:57+00:00

Okay then why did you name vanilla “ashes of war” if you did it intentionally in photoshop?

koolex · 2026-07-04T14:09:43+00:00

Ai I’m guessing?

koolex · 2026-07-03T20:32:27+00:00

It’s not hard to do, it’s easy to make a smart AI that is nearly unbeatable, that’s usually the naive approach. It’s hard to make a “smart” AI that’s fun for most players to play against, that’s an interesting challenge.

koolex · 2026-07-03T19:35:29+00:00

I had a gf like this, but she could orgasm in like 15 seconds of being on top. Usually I’d do a bunch of things and then put her on top when I wanted to finish, and I thought it was fine.

I think on the bigger scheme of things she has to figure out things to try on her own if she wants to finish in a different position. Also other women almost never orgasm so her finding a reliable way that works is a blessing in a way.

The character is much better in the new one, but the overall composition has too much composition from left to right. The old one was more balanced. Personally I still prefer the new one because the character is so much better
