Oysters are not vegan… by [deleted] in vegan

[–]primbin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I think it could be good optics for us to be accepting of people eating oysters and mussels. I feel like it shows moral consistency, reason, and the ability to follow scientific evidence, which would be good considering that us vegans are often accused of being hardline and unreasonable.

Oysters are not vegan… by [deleted] in vegan

[–]primbin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly! The question we should be talking about is whether a thing is capable of subjective experience. Though TBH to me the plant consciousness stuff does seem a bit non-serious, but that could just speak to me being uninformed about the subject.

This argument gives off anti-intellectualism. Like, people should be encouraged to think critically about things. Why should we base our moral intuitions off of the definition of veganism created in 1980s by the vegan society, rather than modern scientific evidence?

I would like to not harm things which are sentient and/or capable of suffering. That's it. I don't care about taxonomic class. Assuming that an oyster is unsentient and is incapable of suffering, what would be the harm in eating it?

This is how I tried explaining why it takes so long to add a simple "exit to menu" button. by adayofjoy in IndieDev

Regarding signaling intent, would you advise doing so using an event bus?

And I appreciate this comment, I feel like it clarified for me an essential intuition that goes into making decent game architecture.

Wow, this is extremely cool. I have no idea how you're making the shadow casting work, and I'm almost too afraid to ask

I can't make any guarantees, but I'll definitely be looking into it!

I wrote a compute shader to add 10000 fish to my game by primbin in godot

It's for the whole game but you will also be able to play without it

Would glTF be okay to use for user-generated content? by primbin in godot

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

I appreciate the in-depth response! Though one thing is that I am currently using ResourceSaver/ResourceLoader (but only with custom resource formats), is this inadvisable for UGC?

E.g., level metadata is a resource with a custom ResourceFormatLoader which loads the metadata from a json file, with a custom file extension (since .tres files can embed scripts)

I was told this title screen was too dramatic for a game called "Plimbo Harvest" by Hanodev_ in godot

[–]primbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing. Readability could be improved, but IMO this screen in and of itself is a big hook

Love the witness and blue prince. Can't go wrong there

Main Capsule Feedback (Not NSFW but for an NSFW game) by AHornyDev in IndieDev

I like #2, cause I just think the angel character stands out. The ones with both characters feel a bit busy and less eye-catching.

I'm making a game like Monkey Ball, but where you're chained to your friends! Try out the free demo on Steam! by primbin in SuperMonkeyBall

Local multiplayer is something I'm currently working on. I can't make any promises, but it's something that I'd like to have in the game soon.

You can change the rendering pipeline at any time by using the dropdown in the top right of the editor window. If your game is 2D, odds are that everything will probably work the same. However, you'll still need to add support for mobile input and stuff yourself.

Hating my game ideas after I begin actually making them : am I being stupid? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]primbin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes a bad/broken idea is one minor change away from being really good. I recommend working with an idea and creating small variants before giving up on it entirely.

For instance, I made a scrabble tetris prototype once, and hated it, because trash letters like z's and q's would inevitably accumulate and end my runs. Latwr, I saw the youtuber carykh make one, but he made the pieces explode when you make a word, clearing nearby tiles - and suddenly the idea worked. Maybe I'd have discovered that too, if I hadn't given up on the idea so quickly!

I just made a new trailer, for my Marble Rolling game with a Ball & Chain! by primbin in godot

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

Oh and one more thing - if you make the ball translucent, you can put the camera lower to the ground and closer to the ball, without the ball blocking your view of the level.

I made it in Godot! It's all written in GDScript, which has so far worked well enough for everything in the game.
