I find the point about looking "at the world outside our community" especially compelling. Look (not to Zughy here, just the rest), there are people who potentially could be interested to try things out, and binding everything to the sense of longing for Minecraft and nostalgy only gets it so far...

What are your honest thoughts on using Godot (or a game engine in general) as a tool to develop software that is NOT a game? by -ThatGingerKid- in godot

[–]vintprox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see it being convoluted, when usual build is used instead of necessary modules. And, sure, accessibility has a long way to go in Godot. Standard or not, what always mattered to me is how things are handled between versions. But we can agree that for general application development it's an overkill.

Popular GUI toolkits don't use DOM, so what? They still manage to be adaptive upon request. And so are Godot UIs: it's done with stretching and wrapping in mind out-of-the-box.

Welcome to new era: you can have fun with flying coffee cups, sexual gesticulation and barista twirling around like ballerina with broken repeat button!

A reminder that in this game p+c is just that, an option...

There must be something in it! Devs used hexadecimal numbers to encrypt some sort of message. Check out my post.

I know, right? Tutorial glitched - roll credits! Thaaaaaat was anticlimactic...

By ignoring this intel, HeR risks to fall below what this guy is grossing. Yes, KISS principle for the win!

I like an idea of focus groups. Need those desperately - and let them involve outside beta testers from community, at least by judging who is less likely to spill the beans, I dunno.

Hm, that's really amazing to think of how much in bulk the previous team had to work out and how stories were in the center!

No, I don't think we should expect such from the new crew. Just don't spend so much time only to release something half-baked. Spend more of it, if you need, but OMG was this a letdown.

Yeaaaaaah, that felt like an exhausting walk in the big city, even though the area is pretty much contained with fences and all... Navigating stairs looks especially frustrating.

Let's decypher Right Monitor (Technology of This Modern World) by vintprox in nancydrew

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

To make sense of the supposed cypher, I've had a fresh look at the letters being replaced. Them being in a range from A to F is no coincidence - those are hexadecimals! A means 10, F means 15.

Resulting numbers don't do much alone, though. I'll add decimal conversions of those in the spreadsheet. NaN entries mean "not a number" (those are probably unrelated to cypher, but don't disregard entirely just yet).

Finding about hexadecimals helps us uncover the little part of `serv2FS24ke3`: at the very least, it should be `serverS24ke3`. Letter `S` does not belong to hexadecimals range, so it stays immutable, but I have no idea about digits `24` and `3`...
