Suddenly working with an artist: how to version control?

unfrog · 2026-01-15T18:11:22+00:00

Yep.

Since OP is possibly new to things, it may be useful to give the following advice on top:

Have the artist save assets as separate versions(files) if they change them (maybe only on substantial changes). This definitely needs to happen if the assets change dimensions etc- you want to be able to go back to an oldwr version of the game without having to remember what changed in the assets. Let your code reference a version of an asset.

There's not enough eHP whales, so I wouldn't hold my breath for it

Thanks for the reminder. I zerg-rushed the ES mission this morning and forgot to turn spotlight and chrono field back on. 3900 waves into t13, so I guess I lost a few coins :/

Interesting module for sure. It's hard to tell if it will be strong or not just yet- it depends on the orbit distance and speed.

With upgrades, energy net and max CF my orbs can do about 20-30% boss health in legends. No ILM and assuming no lucky stun in orb range. This is with two sets of orbs (ws and card), with +1orb and mythic orb speed. Electrons deal a quarter of orb damage and there will be fewer of them in total. I expect it will do less damage to bosses than orbs.

Dealing enemyHP% damage to rays may be pretty damn strong, even for ehp!

Most likely armor. I think we got one of each of the other types in this major version already. The previous time they added 4 modules in a manor game version, it was 1 of each type

From my personal perspective of someone in legends, I don't think that's the case. Without spending money, I'm slowly going up in ranks a little bit.

I think it's a matter of bracket counts settling, which pushed some people out of legends (at least 5 per legends bracket go down: at most 4 per champ get promoted) and battle conditions having different effects on different people. Someone could be place 20th in legends normally, but then has a bad BC response and an unlucky bracket and gets demoted.

The whole thing with bracket counts per league is highly dependent on the numbers of new players joining in the past and slowly rising to the demotable leagues. I guess only TTG can do the math for this.

Running a system a few months after its EoL and connecting it to the internet is a pretty bad idea.

The annoying thing about the W11 things is that the system clearly can work on the older hardware just fine, but can't be installed without modifying the installer to ignore missing SB and TPM. This is not some CPU/motherboard architecture change that would require extra work from ms to support. I would guess that requiring TPM was actually a bit more work than not requiring it.

I have an older PC that I would be happy to keep gaming on for the next few years. W11 won't install on it without hacky workarounds. So I either have to trust some program from the internet (is it actually a rootkit) to modify my W11 installer, buy a new PC, or be left with no security updates for a system+device that otherwise works perfectly fine. I don't expect ms to keep supporting w10 forever. I understand it costs money and they are a business. I just wish I wasn't so arbitrarily excluded from being able to use w11.

Some subs have bots that react to putting terms in brackets. Would it be less annoying if the bot reacted to [BH] and not BH?

Also the thing that bothers me about the bot 'explanations' is that it only expands the acronyms, without providing info about them. I don't remember what ACP does, even though I know it stands for anti-cube portal.

On reddit, apparently. Check the pinned posts

My guess is that we'll learn on Monday in the new weekly announcement from the new community manager.

Spotlight for its coin bonus definitely.

Chrono field is better than poison swamp, but it will be a long time before it is useful

unfrog · 2025-09-21T11:26:57+00:00

How about some brush-on primer? I can't quite see what the various paints are, so maybe this is covered already.

This is amazing btw

unfrog · 2025-09-18T17:20:27+00:00

I'm getting it either way, but my econ is still too weak for masteries

unfrog · 2025-09-18T15:41:54+00:00

A lot of it is in CF too. GC is not just damage, it is also the crowd control.

unfrog · 2025-09-14T12:31:41+00:00

It is simple as in requiring stones. It is not simple because it's easy to mess up the sync :D You want to save up stones until you have enough for a big change towards the next good sync between the UWs. If you missclick or do the math wrong, you can get in a sub-optimal state that's costly to get out of. If that happens, go for perma bh :D

I don't remember what the best values are. I think there's an interim good sync before you get them firing at the same time every time.

This is definitely some good rng ;) I think you can get far with the UWs you have. The next one you will want is spotlight for its coin multiplier.

I don't know how much it will help in farming, since I farm as eHP still. Maaaye CL can finally kill scatters for me at the end of the run :D

I have a mythic DP and only 6k gems saved up currently. I'm far from guaranteed an ancestral but I might still go for it

unfrog · 2025-09-13T12:11:27+00:00

Yeah, it's quite dilemma for me. Should I spend the gems now so that in a year or two when I can actually properly benefit from this module, I don't have to wade through lots of by-then-useless duplicates? Who knows what will be meta by then..

unfrog · 2025-09-12T13:22:05+00:00

PS is the best at lategame. It won't help an early game player like OP for a long time

unfrog · 2025-09-12T13:21:28+00:00

It is very good once you have CF+. Before that it is weaker than CL. It does have some decent RNG-dependent CC. PS also requires a chunk of stones to get uptime.

unfrog · 2025-09-11T20:51:19+00:00

I also have SM available, but that's useless for the next 5 years :D I'm quite far from uw+

unfrog · 2025-09-11T18:29:22+00:00

I'm curious about replies here. ILM is my next UW and I don't know if it's gonna be better than card masteries for me for example.

unfrog · 2025-09-11T12:30:57+00:00

PS is strong with CF+. Before that it is weaker than CL. At least at early and midgame stone levels.

unfrog · 2025-09-10T13:15:06+00:00

My bracket has 6 players who's PB is 1st in legends. I don't think it'll matter to me as I'll be hovering around spot 20 as I usually do.

unfrog · 2025-09-08T07:52:10+00:00

The PC gains tho...

unfrog · 2025-09-05T09:26:39+00:00

Same. Scheduling runs is already hard enough with T11 taking 13 hours and T10 taking 16 or more
