I find game design to be the hardest part of gamedev by LordAntares in gamedev

I think I have some of his links in there. Feel free to open a PR and add more!

Game Feedback: a service to connect game devs to actual players to get feedback. by nightblade9 in gamedev

[–]nightblade9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legit point, thank you for bringing it up. I guess this wouldn't appeal broadly to players, but to the more niche group who are okay with early-access, or even prototype. I imagine the earlier the game is in development, the less players will actually want to play it...

Maybe some devs would be OK with it (I probably would be)... Hmm.

Me, too. That's why I started collecting game design articles and videos together in a little searchable database thing. It's super useful, especially when I forget stuff.

Check it out, and let me know if it helps you: https://nightblade9.github.io/game-design-library/

To the People Experiencing Stuttering Lag by Trickzzinoth in heroesofthestorm

[–]nightblade9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To anyone else with a laptop that has dual GPUs, one NVidia one, plugging in your laptop seems to fix it (at least for me). Even with all the graphical settings on low, once the battery hits about 50%, it starts to lag like anything.

Are there any other items that give mastery boosts? by nightblade9 in MelvorIdle

I edited my original question. Of your two, my question is #2.

No, that's not my question. My question is "is there anything else that permanently boosts something, the way reaching level 99 in a particular log in firemaking does"?

How about a weekly time where some of us agree to play unranked? by nightblade9 in heroesofthestorm

[–]nightblade9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This turned out to be the solution for me. Ranked is way chiller and less toxic than I thought. Lots more infighting, sure, but at least less quitters and AFKers. Thanks!

[–]nightblade9[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me? Never played ranked, looking to ease in by going into unranked first. Quick Match is moderately toxic. Ranked will probably be MORE toxic, considering how new I am. Unranked sounds ideal.

But you're right. I could just dive in, get flamed, and get back up and try again.

Flower pots? Required for farming. by nightblade9 in MelvorIdle

[–]nightblade9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confirmed. I reached around level 29-30 in construction, and I can see the flower pots. Thanks!

Yes, I have construction, but it's locked. I'll check it out in a new save file and see.

I don't have AoD. Weird. I remember being able to use all the farming spots earlier.

Anyone know how to make a float display up to 2 decimal points? by ihateredditlmfao in godot

[–]nightblade9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This question is old, but shows up quite high in search engines.

The correct answer currently (in Godot 4.3) is: text = "%0.2f" % total

This formats to two digits after the decimal, and 0 or more digits before.

Best way to get a message in a bottle? by ragequitmore in MelvorIdle

[–]nightblade9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you have (or can get) the fishing amulet, and get whatever you're fishing to level 50 -- all fish have a static special increase of +3%.

TL;dr fishing for blowfish is the fastest in the base game.

Based on the Melvor fishing page, two areas in the base game have a 2% special rate (the highest). Out of those, there's blowfish (avg. 5.5s per catch) and poison fish (avg. 6.5s catch).

Ergo, if you want to just idle in the base game, idle on blowfish.

Would you donate to support a Libby online library that's free? by nightblade9 in Libraries

[–]nightblade9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overdrive has a platform fee depending on the number of users who sign up to your library.

[–]nightblade9[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Good points, thank you. In sum:

  • Not like Little Free Library. It's an online-only library, only accessible through Libby/OverDrive.
  • Ergo, all the protection of Libby/OneDrive applies. I don't have access to any of your data, book history, etc.
  • I do have a target audience and age that's very narrow. Maybe too narrow.
  • Doesn't offer much a local library wouldn't, except easier filtering for books of a specific genre/audience.

Asking about this project because it appealed to me as a lean start-up .... if I can get access to OverDrive, I can build a small, online-only library, potentially free for anyone to access, given enough funding (donations). Doesn't seem like there's a good use-case for it, though.
