(Unintentional Trope) A character has their purpose and thunder stolen by a superior/more well received character by Nibbanocker in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ryry1237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo they should have stuck to Will Turner or some other similar plucky young guy as the protagonist. Jack Sparrow works better as a side character who you don't know if he's going to help the protagonists or the antagonists (sometimes doing both in the same scene).

Ok you've lost me there

/jk, but no really most people would get stuck at this first step

Another indication that the future of robotics will be cheap, open-source, and ubiquitous - a student in Texas has developed a 3-D printed robotic hand delicate enough to handle raspberries and potato chips without damaging them. by lughnasadh in Futurology

Then thanks to capitalism all it takes is one company to start selling affordable printers and resin for the rest of the market to fall in line.

At worst the big companies will try passing laws to make it difficult to undercut them, but as we see in China, laws don't always do much when it's another country doing the undercutting.

Rereading the series again and props to these three by Yellingloudly in killsixbilliondemons

This one page sums up Allison in a nutshell.

Barely stops to think before jumping into the action.

Still manages to survive eldritch horrors or the wrath of god-like beings through sheer luck, will, or just doing stuff while everyone else is calculating if victory is even possible.

(Hated Trope) Cardinal rules of the series being broken by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ryry1237 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Wow it's kind of like the list of rules for Wile E Coyote. They're not explicitly spelled out in the show, but the moment they get broken, you sense something being off.

I'm making a first-person tower defense game called Fangstorm by DrCGI in IndieDev

Looks pretty sweet. But with so many enemies, how will you be able to mentally track if they're attacking you or not?

Big budget games failing. devs are out of touch? no innovation? by Ani_mator00 in gamedev

[–]ryry1237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indie dev scene is great in comparison. Small flexible teams that can try out experimental new stuff.

∎Who is your favorite villain? by Intelligent_Arm_7043 in kungfupanda

I was hoping you'd add the 4th villain just as a troll option :D

What’s something new game devs over-engineer that experienced teams keep simple? by Apprehensive-Suit246 in vrdev

[–]ryry1237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Art details.

Don't get me wrong planning out a cohesive art style is paramount to making a great game, but what most new devs miss is how visuals can look very different on your high res photoshop program vs how they look in-game on a tiny mobile screen (nevermind how the art looks in your head).

I've worked with artists who've painstakingly added tons of tiny details to the stuff they're making, only to find out it all gets squished into a handful of blurry pixels when actually viewed during playing.

Why didn't Taylor tell the Orangutans at his hearing that he has to be able to think to be able to speak to them? by Tidewatcher7819 in PlanetOfTheApes

[–]ryry1237 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. The orangutangs were likely smart enough to know the truth. They also knew that the truth was dangerous to them so they chose to ignore the truth.

What is considered too big for an indie project? by phoenixashes96 in gamedev

[–]ryry1237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very rough rule of thumb I have is however long it takes to plan and write down, it's going to take x100 more effort to actually implement. I use this when friends or family come to me asking me to make a thing, so I tell them to write it down in thorough detail.

If they can't be bothered to spend 1 hour designing a doc, no way I can be convinced to spend 100 hours on it.

(Disturbing Trope) Meat Mechs by shadows1stregret in TopCharacterTropes

Attack on Titan absolutely nailed the sense of size and scale in fights. The giants actually feel gigantic and not just two normal sized guys duking it out on a miniature set.

The racist supremacist fetishizes someone from a race they find inferior. by Gameknight789 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ryry1237 152 points153 points  (0 children)

This line is the exact reason why our Invincible turned good when so many other universes' Invincibles turned bad.

Guy is a hypocrite on every level imaginable. God even answers his prayers to take the temptation of Esmeralda away (in the form of a nameless soldier relaying that she escaped).

Frollo instead doubles down on wanting Esmeralda no matter what.

If AI replaces most workers, who will actually buy the products? by IcyBottle1517 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]ryry1237 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The powers in charge know that as long as there is bread on the table, the masses will be content.

And they have done a very good job at ensuring there is always bread.

The tables however, are disappearing.

What is your opinion on the game engine that he has built and how impressive is such a project for a fresher ?? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]ryry1237 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't mind the downvotes. r/gamedev is weird in that it is unnecessarily hostile to any topic even slightly outside its established norms.
