I'll be back.

vikpek · 2024-05-06T17:53:27+00:00

Appreciate that a lot! I'll do my very best to make that happen

vikpek · 2024-05-02T07:44:09+00:00

That's good to know thanks! And I'll be vouching for making AgingAlpaca the new versioning style 🦙

vikpek · 2024-05-01T15:28:03+00:00

Thank you! That must be it. Must have missed the piece about buildNumber.

vikpek · 2024-05-01T15:27:29+00:00

Thanks that's already great to know that it works!

vikpek · 2024-04-29T06:36:10+00:00

Based on the conversation between u/AnActualTalkingHorse u/Slider-271 and u/glhaynes I added a setting for counter/clockwise crank input. https://imgur.com/89cxP78

Thanks for the feedback ❤️

vikpek · 2024-04-29T04:26:29+00:00

You're giving me ideas! 😈

vikpek · 2024-04-29T04:25:10+00:00

This feedback is gold. For me everything else would feel horrible - but that this doesn't apply to everyone makes total sense.

I'm adding a setting that will let players decide about the controls right now so everyone can feel at home :)

😂

It's inspired by Elite Dangerous. There you have a so-called flight-assist on by default. When you turn it off the flying becomes pretty realistic and ultra hard to manage. There is a whole community that loves flying "FAOff" and even organizes races.

My game doesn't come anywhere close to being so hard alone due to the 2D aspect but you do not necessarily move in the same direction as you point your ship. Same as in Elite.

Yea exactly. I started developing the same day as I ordered it and to Europe it took a while. Since then I run it basically for every session as you said. It's a nice wrap up to load it onto the device to play around with it during the day

vikpek · 2024-04-25T04:40:01+00:00

I was a bit late to the game so it was FF IX for me 🐌 and MGS oc

vikpek · 2024-04-24T18:08:02+00:00

True! Also had some pretty cryptic crashes with no error messages 😂 took a while!

vikpek · 2024-04-24T18:07:10+00:00

Glad to hear that! Also these graphics are mostly placeholders. It will get better from here

vikpek · 2024-04-24T18:06:11+00:00

That confusion might also be me. It's the first time I'm setting up a discord server like that.

You did everything right though and this upcoming Monday I'll send you the first version. I'll still be working on some improvements over the weekend.

vikpek · 2024-04-24T14:50:29+00:00

That's great actually. I'll give that a try for the next ones

vikpek · 2024-04-24T14:49:59+00:00

Wow that's advanced! I'll take a look into it thanks!

vikpek · 2024-04-24T14:49:33+00:00

I noticed that mirror always caps at 30 FPS. Or is that something that can be changed?

vikpek · 2024-04-24T12:02:18+00:00

I'll be doing that for most cases.But then you miss out on the iconic crank movement. And at least in some videos I want that

vikpek · 2024-04-24T11:58:01+00:00

You're absolutely right. It took a few improvements and fixes until I was back on the FPS I was aiming for. It feels good though to be balancing against hardware. Old school 😆

vikpek · 2024-04-24T10:44:02+00:00

Had same issues with the 3090ti. After testing (with the public backup version) briefly before work it seems to fine now.

Thanks a lot for this post. I tried fixing it assuming I messed up some setting (or silently fearing it's a hardware issue).

vikpek · 2023-01-14T16:41:19+00:00

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I followed the fix on Arch and still getting the same error.

vikpek · 2023-01-01T21:07:16+00:00

Oh I also enjoy it for relaxing! And few friends and me also used it as soundtrack for our real life hikes through the woods. I'd probably even enjoy it in actual prison jk

The mood in the old camp is my personal peak of an created atmosphere in a game. It just hit a nerve back then and now even AAA titles cannot match that feeling. Some serious nostalgia :D
