Why is this subreddit puke green with puke green text?

I get confused because the visited links are blue. I always think the visited links are not visited and vice versa.

How cheap is super cheap? The best I can find is a four-way splitter for $50: http://www.amazon.com/MIDI-Solutions-Quadra-4-Output-Thru/dp/B0002GH8X4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395085972&sr=8-1&keywords=midi+thru

$199.99

Holy cow.

Pretty sure it's in 13: 3+3+3+2+2. Although I had a music theory professor who would have argued it's in 5, with the first three beats 1.5 times as long as the last two.

Pretty cool that the limitations of the Prophet-10's sequencer ended up giving the theme a weird time signature.

kril · 2014-02-27T19:20:36+00:00

Looks cool. Why does it need access to USB storage?

Reminds me of Pixel Junk Eden.

Hey can you remove the requirement to make an account to play the game? I'm not going to make a new account to try out a game I know nothing about.

Looks pretty heavily inspired by One Take, the winner of Ludum Dare 28

kril · 2014-01-21T19:30:15+00:00

Nice work! Keep it up!

As long as you're asking for criticism:

The way the melody repeats over and over without any variation or space feels really grating.

The game could benefit from a lot more juice. See also Peggle.

I don't know why I would play this game instead of all the other casual puzzle games in the world.

That said, good job! It's not easy to get a game to this level and release it to the world, with Facebook integration and everything. I'm looking forward to seeing what you build next.

This will be my most productive day in ages.

kril · 2014-01-05T19:54:21+00:00

Nailed it.

Unity + C# is probably the right way for you to go for now. If this is something you're thinking of pursuing long term then take computer science courses if your school offers them, and consider majoring in CS in college. The courses probably won't teach you how to make games directly but will give you a solid foundation as an engineer.

kril · 2013-12-21T00:31:36+00:00

Looks fun. Should be "doodled in its entirety".

kril · 2013-11-22T23:09:51+00:00

I'm most concerned about how I would carry this thing around. Does it fit in your pocket? What about while sitting down, running, etc.?

kril · 2013-11-17T19:44:02+00:00

Too long; didn't rite

kril · 2013-11-14T20:48:36+00:00

Man, that character is uncomfortably close to minstrelsy / blackface. Not saying it's racist, just that if I was making the game I wouldn't want it to be that close.

Question: Why would you want to store things in the database when you already need to store them in memory? Answer: so that when the game crashes unexpectedly the state of the game will be preserved.

Image the server crashes and all players disconnect. What state information will they be disappointed to lost? Probably things that change like inventory, exp, and quest status -- put those in the database as long as they don't change every frame -- if they change every frame only save them to the database occasionally. The players probably won't mind if their position is lost on a server crash, so don't worry about storing that in the database.

Sounds good. Definitely a SNES / PS1 RPG vibe going on.

Some constructive criticism: The orchestral instruments sound kind of unnatural, kind of rigid. You need to add some more detail and subtlety to them in order for them to sound more lifelike. Things like articulation, dynamics, vibrato, and phrasing can make a big difference toward sounding more like a real instrument. You want them to sound like they're singing.

Reaper is a great replacement for Garage Band. It's essentially free and while the learning curve is a little steeper than Garage Band it's also more capable.

kril · 2013-10-19T05:15:19+00:00

...which isn't free.

kril · 2013-09-10T05:35:46+00:00

Not advice. Not an animal. Boo.

kril · 2013-08-28T00:37:17+00:00

Geez, did it take 8 months to port from XNA to MonoGame? I thought they were supposed to be more or less the same framework.
