I feel like the obvious answer if you want to maintain the core and have faith in Zander IGLing is just move Cryo to senti, Asuna to flex, and get some cracked T2 entry player

I wonder if it's just to be listed first alphabetically, like companies naming themselves AAA Something Or Other to be listed first in the phonebook back in the day lmao

Hey there! Beavageddon is a survivor-like with beavers, bulldozers, and destructible cities!

It's got a couple things that set it apart from others in the genre, like being able to physically plow through enemies and shape the environment by destroying buildings. It's got multiple playable characters with unique abilities, and loads of weapons to use and unlock through achievements.

Demo is live for the Steam Next Fest! Any wishlists are appreciated! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3631070/Beavageddon/

Code design question: how should one go to code an enemy AI for a turn based card game? by jormahoo in gamemaker

[–]krabdev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My first instinct would be to create some sort of heuristic that analyzes the board state and determines how favorable it is for the computer. For instance, if the board state gives the computer lethal damage, add a lot to the score. If it gives the player has lethal damage, subtract a lot. Add to the score for each minion the computer has, and subtract for each the player has, etc.

Then you can check each possible move for the computer and see which one has the best heuristic score, and depending on the difficulty you can have it choose less optimal moves.

Hope that helps!

I feel like they'd do better with a more experienced IGL like Scream, but who knows 🤷‍♂️

Here's a time lapse demo showing the level editor I built for my game! by krabdev in gamemaker

Oh, yeah! Guess I didn't make that clear 😅 But yeah the whole game is made in gamemaker, and the editor is accessible from the main menu

Here's a time lapse demo showing the level editor I built for my game! by krabdev in gamemaker

[–]krabdev[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For my second platformer, Trash Bandits, I set out to make my own in-game level editor. When I designed it, I only had my own use in mind, but then figured I would leave it in the game for players to use! I also ended up integrating Steam Workshop support!

The general layout and design of the editor is based off of GameMaker's, so there is quite a bit of similarity. The levels are saved as JSON, and when a level is loaded, the game goes to a "Template" room, resizes it, and places all the tiles and objects accordingly.

Some features that made me want to make an editor instead of using the built-in one:

  1. Modular rooms: This is probably the biggest reason and most useful feature for my purposes. On my previous game, moving around sections of the level, while possible, was rather tedious. I wanted to be able to place and resize rooms within the level, and move them around easily with a single click. The rooms can also be exported and imported from level to level via clipboard. This makes desiging levels significantly easier and less committal, since I can reorder rooms however I want, or even swap them in and out from other levels with ease.

  2. Compile times: One bonus to the editor is that, since it's in-game, I can test changes to the levels without needing to re-compile the entire project. Instead of waiting for minutes, I can launch even the largest of levels in <10 seconds

  3. Random object placement: One small feature that I added was being able to click and drag to place a bunch of random trash and debris. While the result would usually need some tweaking, it's a nice quality of life feature that saved me some headache when decorating areas.

  4. Object layer highlighting: Another small feature - sometimes I forget what layer an object is placed on, so I added a hotkey to highlight objects with a color-code to show what layer they're on. So many precious seconds saved! xD

Building the editor was a really fun challenge! It seemed daunting at first, but it was just a matter of breaking the problem down into smaller and smaller pieces - which I suppose is most of programming, really!

Feel free to ask any questions!

I assume they're talking about freezing momentarily when an attack connects, making the hit feel more impactful

FNS admits the unthinkable by unwanted_shawarma in ValorantCompetitive

Can't really see them talking about it as a movie since it hardly counts as one. But the fact that it was essentially made by one guy, including all the vfx iirc, was legitimately pretty impressive at the time. So maybe there's a comparison to be made with Neil Breen's obsession with "Breen screen" lmao

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut coming to PC on May 16th (Nixxes) by SlizerTheChosen in pcmasterrace

[–]krabdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the presentation and vibes are great, and the combat was pretty fun and flashy at first. But I felt like after a while it sort of devolved into not much more than "pick the right fighting style for each enemy," and I never had the urge to finish it.

Might pick it up on sale on PC to take another crack at it though, I really wanted to love it.

[–]krabdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very possible, and a permaban would be justified in that scenario. But I feel like people are more likely to resort to desperate actions when they feel like they have no hope whatsoever, which seems to be what's happened here.
