  • Also - if you do increase the scope, you could totally, like, intend the game to be ~10 minutes segments. Maybe release the first segment once you think it's polished enough, see whether you want to add additional areas or environments with more levels and options.

    Basically, don't get burned out with scope creep. If you have something that works, release it. Even if you want to add more later. :)

  • Really, any speed settings would help make the game more accessible and approachable.

    Some people may enjoy the parkour elements but not have the motor skills to handle high-speed reactions.

    Other folks may be great at the fast paced movement, but get frustrated by the number of enemies or the speed of projectiles.

    If you are able to offer sliders (or even just low/medium/high) options for things like movement speed, enemy frequency, damage taken, and grid reaction time? If you can do that without having to remake your code or game engine? It'll mean a much wider potential audience for your game.

    Speedrunners and streamers can have fun setting everything to the fastest and hardest difficulties. Casual players can have fun with it without getting frustrated.

    And sweet, you've got a Linux build. I do most of my gaming on Linux now. I'll try to check out the demo.

  • And you know what could be cool? If you manage a perfect phase-dash (i.e. dash at the exact instant a projectile would hit you), it creates a shockwave that deflects all nearby projectiles back at whatever fired them.

  • So far, that has the feel of a good tutorial level - like it's the first challenge faced by the test subject when they first get their abilities, before they realize what's going on and they have to escape.

    If that's the starting environment, I could imagine occasional pauses where you describe the next challenge and how to overcome it.

    Then, once getting through this area, things start to get faster and more chaotic.

    Are you planning on having different speed settings, so the game can be approachable to different kinds of players?

  • So, what you're saying is, you're not writing code.

  • Store-brand cream cheese.

  • Yes but what kind of soup

    This is important

  • Why would anyone not like that? I'm not sure what you're talking about.

  • Accept things, then try to understand them.

  • Yeah, it says it couldn't load an API-related windows file/group of files. So yes, either something is missing, or something isn't in the expected location.

    If it can't load a file, and if that file does exist, something path-related needs to be fixed.

    Other folks have responded with good advice about things to try, so I won't repeat any of it here. Hopefully once you get that fixed, your games will launch!

  • Are you logging your attempted game launches?

    I wonder if the games are trying to search for files in a specific path, failing to find that path, and exiting. Or maybe something similar. The logs should tell you.

  • It's disconcerting to see how much Thingiverse has been bounced around.

  • To start with: It breaks accessibility and it makes text hard to read.

  • Holy shit, you just used "nice" and "liquid glass" in the same sentence

  • It sounds like the thrifted power supply isn't enough.

    Keep in mind, the power supply you thrifted was probably used for a while itself, and may not be in the best condition.

    Generally, if I replace your power supply, I go with something new and brand name. Otherwise, there's no telling what could go wrong with it - or what components it could take with it.

  • What are you using to create the bootable installer? Rufus may have options to help with this.

    Also, MX includes a bunch of system rescue tools. If grub-install doesn't work by myself, maybe chroot would help?

    The MX community forums might be a good place to ask, too. Lots of power users there.

  • Try MX Linux. It runs on a toaster, and I've never found a machine it wouldn't install on.
