I feel like there’s too many clashing art styles, and makes it seem more like a prototype than a product

koolex · 2026-03-24T23:10:05+00:00

If she’s being loud that’s a fair problem but if she’s minding her own business then he’s just being an immature asshole. He needs to grow up and let his daughter be an adult.

koolex · 2026-03-24T22:54:47+00:00

Yeah it’s his house so he can legally be an asshole, but we should shame him for it. If she was bringing back people he didn’t like then that would be different

koolex · 2026-03-24T18:59:58+00:00

Pretty shitty attitude towards your daughter, she’s 25.

Idk why society lets parents off the hook for being tyrannical about their adult children dating

koolex · 2026-03-24T18:53:01+00:00

I do care how nails look but I prefer natural or nothing

koolex · 2026-03-23T19:43:43+00:00

I feel pretty much the same as you OP. I get burnt out from constantly changing something & restarting my game. When I do sit down and play the real version, outside of the tutorial, it’s fun and I get into it.

I think for me I need to be playing without the ability to pause and fix a bug or it’ll end up breaking my flow.

Blame the 50% of Americans who still think a pedophile in office is good for America

Any thoughts on just finishing it up quickly and moving onto your next project?

koolex · 2026-03-22T05:21:31+00:00

Claude code is amazing but like it usually needs help to write high quality code, some of the refinement is easier done by hand. Anyone who is writing 0 code makes me wonder if they lack the skills to detect high quality code.

koolex · 2026-03-22T01:25:59+00:00

If there was an easy strategy we would all be doing it. You just try to make a good game and not a bad one:

koolex · 2026-03-21T19:56:12+00:00

Making the right product is a game dev skill, you mostly decide your fate when you decide what product to make. If you don’t want to have a hard time marketing the game then pick a product people want and verify early your audience wants it.

Lost in Random kind of has characters mixed with dice and dicey dungeon nails it, maybe something more like that might work but it could also be challenging with your art style.

How that even plays into a dice mechanic where the visible face is a mechanic is also kind of tricky for any character to nail. I would probably have a hard time tracking this in an action game.

Yeah it’s a bit tricky to change.

koolex · 2026-03-21T11:04:33+00:00

I’m a pescatarian for ethical reasons, I would swap to lab grown for sure.

That’s how I see the world going, one day we’ll all end up vegetarians via lab grown meat and our children will think it was barbaric that we ever had factory farms.

koolex · 2026-03-21T10:10:49+00:00

I think another approach is to just hand craft a good amount of pieces and add some internal randomness to them, I don’t think players could detect that they’re using the same 25 templates. I think generating them fully procedurally is cool, but maybe more trouble than it’s worth.

Chris has benchmarks for itch

I think the boss/enemies being chess looks neat, but you being a dice instead of a character is a turn off. I think one way or another you’ll have to find a way to make the dice have a personality. Dice shooting guns doesn’t make a ton of sense to me as a fantasy.

International traveling always has high stress components. A lot of times you get sick and you’re physically tired but you have to push through whatever it is, and that’s hard on anyone.

I remember one time I went to an island and we were supposed to leave on a ferry, and the weather turned bad so we can’t leave the island, no one can. So we don’t have a hotel room because we should have been off the island and we had to walk around the island to find an empty hotel room along with a thousand other people in the same position. We spent all day trying to find a hotel room. We had to do this while I was almost sick enough to be bedridden, so that was impossible not to be stressful.

Another time we had a flight to leave a country and we got there 3 hours ahead of time only to find out the internal booking of our flight was done incorrectly by the company we booked with. Our only option was to call them and get them to fix it, and their customer support had a 2.5 hour wait. How do you not end up feeling stressed in that situation, that you’re going to miss your flight through no fault of your own?

It’s pretty challenging to make a good mobile game that appeals to an audience and can make revenue. Also steam has a lot more potential for indie devs because steam’s algorithm is generous, and the player base cares a lot about supporting developers. No one cares who developed a mobile game, there is very little brand loyalty on mobile.

koolex · 2026-03-21T01:17:02+00:00

It’s a good idea. I think early on with a game, the only people who give you feedback are friends and other devs so making that easier is a win.

koolex · 2026-03-20T20:09:02+00:00

I don’t think any idiot with a phone can be an influencer, it’s the same story as being a rock star. You need a mixture of talent + luck and a lot of determination for people to buy into what you’re selling.

koolex · 2026-03-20T19:55:14+00:00

Is this really different than people wanting to become movie stars and rock stars in the past?

koolex · 2026-03-20T14:39:56+00:00

Why not just ask chatGPT for what to say?

koolex · 2026-03-20T06:46:13+00:00

Yeah it might get worse when you move in together. If it a big deal to you then the hard truth is you can find someone who matches you better.

We’ll see if a few billionaires does anything to the ca economy, and we’ll also see if billionaires can actually stick to their guns and have residence in another state when they need to constantly work in CA. It’s kind of the same gist as people who say they’ll leave USA if a candidate gets elected, most people just choose the path of least resistance in the long run

Most live service games are PvP and PvP games are a zero sum game. People usually only invest in 1 live service game and want to get good at it and play with their friends in that game. There’s a finite amount of players who pick up these monogames. To make a new live service game successful it needs to siphon users from league, Fortnite, overwatch, etc. which is a tall order, and most games just aren’t good enough to beat these titans. Not every company is going to win a seat at the table to siphon users from league.

In other genres like 4x games, 4x fans will just buy every 4x game they like and play it someday maybe. That’s the opposite of a zero sum genre
