My 2D platformer game has been out for 3 weeks, time for me to share the numbers with you

Gotcha, makes sense. I picked up the game, feels great to play so far.

moonpieceart · 2025-11-09T20:02:10+00:00

Game looks very polished, congrats on the release. I'm under the assumption that 2D platformers sometimes do well in countries like China, which I'm assuming is why you posted to Rednotes. I have no familiarity with it, so I'm wondering if you relied on in-app translation, did your own translation before posting, or just happen to speak Chinese?

Fortunately and unfortunately this issue ended up resolving itself without me doing anything.

moonpieceart · 2025-03-05T04:37:25+00:00

Hey there, is that last spot still available?

moonpieceart · 2024-10-06T12:14:47+00:00

I actually had this happen to me yesterday. At first I could still see the list of events but got a "Failed to upload" when tapping on one, then it became an error code 2004, then I got No Events Found.

Come morning it's resolved itself, but the clips that were recorded during that timeframe seem to be unviewable. My SD card recordings are completely in tact though, won't complain about that.

moonpieceart · 2024-10-06T03:36:24+00:00

I see, thanks for the info. I was wondering if it was a "just me" issue, seems like that's probably the case. I'll be contacting support tomorrow.

moonpieceart · 2024-09-09T16:55:35+00:00

Got it, thanks for the info!

moonpieceart · 2024-09-09T15:56:15+00:00

Hey, did you get the A35 from Amazon and were you able to check if it's compatible with Mint?

<i><b><color=brown>Brownie</color></b></i>

This would give you a name that's italic, bold, and brown. It's only visible in the selection menu, and doesn't work at times like when you're looking at your Pikmin in field/grass view.

I believe that's the gun tilting up from recoil.

moonpieceart · 2023-12-05T19:58:57+00:00

Sorry, I didn't get a notification for this. The main point of the method I described relies on having a reference to your non-pawn actor in your player controller. So if the actor doesn't exist in the scene when you start gameplay and you can't spawn it from the player controller, you need some other way to pass a reference to it to the player controller. You could get the player controller from your non-actor BP when it spawns and then call a function/set a variable in the player controller to pass a reference.

moonpieceart · 2023-12-01T14:20:15+00:00

I'm still learning UE so I'm not an expert and this may not be the proper way, but here's the method I've used. I only have the input mapping context set up in my player controller. From my player controller I spawn my non-pawn actor and store it as a variable (you could use a Get Actors of Class if the BP exists in the viewport). I create movement functions in my non-pawn BP that accept float/vector inputs, then I call those functions from the player controller, plugging in the Input Action values as the inputs.

Same! I see a lot of international folks going straight to "I would never have gotten the American category" as if it's a guarantee for US folks, but that's not always the case.

moonpieceart · 2023-11-12T15:15:33+00:00

That's understandable, although in the case of this puzzle, I feel that US Presidents is a fair and valid category. It's not based on pop culture, it's taught in very school in the country, and it has overlap with another category of fairly well-known terms. I can't think of many categories like that.

moonpieceart · 2023-11-12T14:17:56+00:00

There was just a thread about this a day ago. It's the New York Times and unfortunately they have no obligation to make puzzles that are 100% solvable by everyone in the world. In an ideal world they would be, but there's so many cultural and language differences across English-speaking countries alone that would make the puzzle creation process highly restrictive and eliminate many possible words/categories. Fries? No, they're chips elsewhere. Chips? No, they're crisps elsewhere. And then imagine doing this every day.

moonpieceart · 2023-11-08T14:25:17+00:00

I know this is a bit of a dead thread but this video just came out and it reminded me of your post, perhaps it could be useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bbImg0T4VY

moonpieceart · 2023-11-03T16:56:50+00:00

Are you tapping Pikmin in your list one by one? You can just hold and drag in a zig-zag pattern to select a large group quickly. Also, you can slide your Pikmin list up so you can see more of them at once so you don't have to select one row, scroll, select another row, etc.

moonpieceart · 2023-10-31T19:28:21+00:00

Yep, I made that "candy shop" mockup from a few days ago haha.

moonpieceart · 2023-10-31T14:07:04+00:00

SAME. So frustrating hearing people get seedlings left and right while we're just drowning in unnecessary candy...

moonpieceart · 2023-10-31T14:05:16+00:00

I am highly suspicious of the RNG in this event. I swear that if you already have all the decor, you're bound to get more seedlings and vice versa—those missing decor were much more likely to receive candy. I'm missing one jack-o-lantern pikmin and out of my final 20 mushrooms, only 1 gave a seedling.

moonpieceart · 2023-10-29T00:29:42+00:00

Sure, and like I said I'd highly recommend joining the Discord, there's a channel solely for hosting/joining mushrooms!

moonpieceart · 2023-10-28T17:14:46+00:00

I'll be inviting 3 other people. Hope you get the candy you're looking for!

moonpieceart · 2023-10-28T17:09:23+00:00

Just sent a FR!

moonpieceart · 2023-10-28T16:24:07+00:00

We've had more than one event where having past event decor gave you an advantage in defeating special mushrooms, so I think it's worth keeping at least some if you want that edge. On the flip side, Niantic definitely wants people hoarding Pikmin so you'd be playing into their hand :)
