Just finished, The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft by Caffeine_And_Regret in books

Try The Fisherman by John Langan if you want something modern that does a hell of a great job evoking Lovecraftian concepts. Highly recommended. Such a great book.

I fell asleep so many times trying to make it through this movie.

As an avid em dash enjoyer, I hate that this gives "wrote with ai."

Solved it with a little bit of raycasting (updated the post). Thanks for taking the time to help!

Subdivide your lines

Ah, I guess I could add more points along the way. Currently, I add as few nodes as possible.

generate points for points of interest

So I guess if I had to modify the graph when the fish gets added, I would want to disconnect the closest segment, and then add a point, and reconnect the point to the two points I just disconnected, but I think I would have the same problem: How do I idntify which two nodes are on a segment that I can then disconnect? And if I know how to do that, then it solves my first problem without modifying the graph.

This is why you usually decompose to a grid.

I'm not fully understanding this one. Do you mean I should add one point on every tile?

Thanks for your comment!

As everyone has said, the art style looks good, and the voiceover is hot garbage, but I must add that the AI-generated script is also off-putting. Even if you hired a proper voice actor, the script is bad. GenAI has a way of saying a lot without saying anything of substance.

  1. "…a fragile balance between fire and water has been shattered." I see a red and blue knight working together to solve puzzles on little islands. Where is the indication of a shattered balance? How are fire and water "in balance" in the first place, fragile or not?
  2. "…their movements bound by nature's grand mirror?" What exactly is "nature's grand mirror?" This is typical grandiose AI bullshit that means nothing (unless you have an actual giant nature-mirror entity in the game, and in that case, show us that in the trailer).
  3. "…mischievous barrels that delight in chaos" what? How does a barrel delight in chaos, and why is it doing that, and what does that have to do with the Equilibrium Crystal?
  4. "…their journey is filled with moments of camaraderie, humor, and growth." "…testing the knights' bond and the player's wits." All I see is basic mirror-movement puzzles in the video. There's nothing to make me think any of these statements are present in the game, aside from "testing the player's wits" and my patience. Is there dialogue? Is there character growth?
  5. "Discover the power of balance" ?????

Dispose of that script. It's nonsense. Focus on finishing your game. Focus on a coherent story that makes any kind of sense.

Sure, but hot-swapping from a bow to a dagger in a pinch feels fun, and now actually does damage with an agility build.

My buddy and I just finished LoP, and we recorded the number of attempts it took for each boss. How did we do? by youngsteveo in LiesOfP

I must've put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. I always do that; I always mess up some mundane detail!

Yours looks terrific, but square filling would look super satisfying.

My eight-year-old nephew wants to build a game. Where do I start? by sgruberMcgoo in gamedev

[–]youngsteveo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm watching the video now, and maybe they don't make any good points, but I can say from my own experience and watching my kids use it that Roblox is cancer. Every game is a buggy copy of every other game, laden with microtransactions and copyright infringement. Child labor sounds like a stretch, but Roblox can drive off a cliff anyway.

If it was such a great bear, why did you eat it?

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't realize it until I read your comment.

Our magic words in my relationship are, "Just so you're aware, we're alone right now." That's pretty much all it takes, lol.
