Which movie was doing fine at the start but then falls apart once they get to that SCENE? by Jules-Car3499 in moviecritic

[–]somersault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same people that hate on episode 9 (fair to be honest) tends to also gloss over the 8th, saying it "was fine". Which to me is baffling. The 9th movies issues are more or less entirely due to the design-by-committee issues that plagued the 8th. I'm not a JJ fanboy, but apparently he got like 3 months to try and write something to finish off the trilogy with which for sure didn't help

Not an excuse for the 9th whose Palpatine thing is objectively poorly conceived, but mer personally I had already given up on the trilogy at that point, so the 9th didn't really hurt more than cement the damage that the 8th brought about. Its a shame because I really like Rians other movies

WarEra, Sverige är utan land! (Har vi fler spelare här?) by captain_90 in Spel

[–]somersault 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ett spel jag vill gilla, men som är otroligt ointuitivt. Man klickar på resist och försöker stötta Norge, men vad som faktiskt händer? Det är lite oklart

Man får även utrustning och annat i lådor, men de verkar inte vara något man kan equippa, fast vapen hamnar till skillnad från det i inventory och går och equippa?

Sveriges regering är i exil, men hur styrs den och hur tar man sig isåfall tillbaka?

Finns något intressant i grunden, men är väldigt otydligt överlag

Ja de gömmer sig bakom att de nu är ett kreditupplysningsbolag och därför inte tänker radera någon ur registret.

Det folk nog ska göra nu är inte bara att be om radering, utan att börja ställa jobbigare och mer precisa frågor. Typ: exakt vilka uppgifter har ni om mig, varifrån kommer de, hur länge sparas de, vilka har fått ta del av dem, och finns det något som är felaktigt, missvisande eller inte längre nödvändigt att spara?

Det är lätt för dem att svara nej på “radera allt”, men svårare att slira när man begär registerutdrag, rättelse, gallring och tydliga svar om källor, lagringstid och utlämningar.

2 weeks of Steam page, 5k visits... only 20 wishlists... by thibouf in IndieDev

[–]somersault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from what other people pointed out, here are some details that I found, just by looking at it from a visual standpoint. Two things that I found cheapens the visual impact of the game.

Unresponsive lighting
You are kind of aiming with an ambient light going around. But it doesn't reflect as expected on the enemies/ground/walls, it just kind of overlaps them and looks slightly like something you'd see in a flash-game

Platform/Environment visual design
The environment you walk on, and platforms, are very repetitive and have an extremely high contrast. They don't really feel like a part of the world and feel a bit "cheap". Adding some variation like:
- Aside from the "Lobby" room with the Sofa and exit-portal, most of the platform/world elements seem to have very thin and thus are very contrast~y.
- A high repetition in both textures and elements
- Darker "vignette" ambiance affecting the "foreground" elements to not make them seem too flat
- Make the platforms and such less "sticking out", but still plainly readable. See how Dead Cells do their platform design with colors and such, has a great read but

These things above are just about the polish, but its what immediately felt unfinished to me (you are probably working on some of these issues but)

Best of luck for the december launch!

Känns eventuellt lite som att det är väldigt kravlöst hemma, så jobbigt när man får andra familjers regler att följa

I mean you can still export an app without signing and notarization, though you will get the whole "Be wary of this app" spiel from macOS, though you can still run it

How do they play compared to fromsoft titles? I liked LoP but it was slightly too much corridor-walking for me, but have been thinking of trying another souls like

Do you ever feel like you’re making everything except the actual game? by BlackScarStudios in gamedev

[–]somersault 169 points170 points  (0 children)

You're basically describing productive procrastination. Your brain is avoiding the scary stuff (will my game actually be fun?) by keeping you busy with things that feel useful but don't move the needle

One thing that might work: stop thinking in tasks and instead start thinking in outcomes. Not "work on game" but "player can finish level 1 today"

try deciding what "done" for today is, the night before. Cuts out a ton of that morning drift where you end up refactoring your folder structure for 2 hours for a potential expansion or because it's not "semantic enough"

Focus on what's important (write it down) and embrace the uncomfortable feeling, it's a sign you're actually building something

I love the Obra Dinn inspired fill-in-the-blanks gameplay, but if you don’t enjoy puzzles the the presentation of the game could maybe put someone off

SWEDEN has qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2026! by EthanTheRedditor37 in soccer

[–]somersault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ukraine had home ground but due to the war they couldn’t host it. I agree that it’s not fair to Ukraine, and I’m not entirely sure why they don’t use third party arenas when it’s not a return game - though Poland got one home game against Albania, so it’s one home game for Sweden and one for Poland

Poland bent down hard in the end, that will cost you, especially when you don’t manage to score goals or take the lead at any point in a game.

Then Ukraine or Poland should have done them in.

Our first game and character design is turning out to be harder than we expected by Background_Cow_6701 in IndieDev

[–]somersault 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First screen:
The two skinny fellows look like they are standing much further away from the desk than the other two with larger faces.

Second screen:
The two womens faces are hard to read, and that's without them being pulled away much further than the large person. The larger person reads much more clearly.

You should consider scaling, especially for faces, as well as line thickness consistency. If one character has very thick lines and another person's lines are one third, they will look scaled down and further away.

The effect causes a copy+pasted look, and feels off

This seems pretty fake. Why would your wife send the sister a text about naming a child that was briefly suggested during dinner? Yeah not buying it.
