  • After 8 years of development, I'm releasing my first video game today: Game Over - A Musical RPG??

  • Not yet, but it works with switch controls on PC one reviewer said?

    If it does well, I think Unity lets me port to Switch fairly easily...

  • Bless you man, I appreciate it! If you like it, someone told me that once a steam game gets past 10 reviews, it gets better presence? If you get the time, hide a Lemmy reference in there so I know it's you 🤝

  • How did you pick up coding? There was some free old book online by a guy who called "=" a "gozinta", but I can't find it anymore... I read that through, used a few Udemy courses, Brackeys, CodeMonkey the Unity Discord forums. Getting the basics down was easy, anything else was well tough.

    What was challenging? A few years into development, and Everhood came out. On first glance it looked just like Game Over, and I got pretty bummed out, like someone had beaten me to the chase. But when I actually played Everhood I saw it was a fairly different game (everhood you're not playing to the rhythm), but it was a rough bit of time prior to getting to play and Everhood and learn that!

    Were you stumped by any major development issues? Oh my god the timing of the notes down the note lane. I swear I rewrote that code 10 times from scratch. Making sure they're set to the audioSource.time property, but also accounting for pause behaviour, accounting for generating notes PRIOR to the music starting (and therefore audioSource.time = 0), making sure it doesn't waver out of sync etc etc. But everytime I reworked it, it felt more robust, so it helped with confidence.

    I wonder if every developer feels as though their code is held together with tape, glue, and good thoughts...

  • Oh god I didn't even notice I was replying to you.

    Gross, you're the worst, most bad faith debater I've ever had the displeasure of talking to.

    You don't argue in any sense of data or fact, just shitty little retorts amounting to nothing more than "no, actually".

    Don't bother replying, I'm blocking you across all instances until you get an education, maybe when you turn 18 or something.

  • Meat products are, per kilo, much more costly for their nutrient profiles compared with plant based alternatives. Any time meat is comparable, this is because of government subsidies. There's a reason third world countries rely on plant based foods, because they're objectively cheaper.

    There are many cultural practises that we've left in the past. Culture is not an excuse for doing objectively amoral things. I can't say it's my culture to sacrifice children, even if it is.

    I'd put convenience under the umbrella of pleasure. If we all lived our life based on convenience, people would drink drive, people wouldn't care about consent, just because it's easier doesn't mean it's right.

    If my morality was based on whether it cause friction with my family, what weak morals I would have? "In this house, we say the N word!", "okay yes sorry mum, here I go saying the n word again!" Like, stick up for what's right, don't crumble because it might upset those who are objectively morally incorrect.

    Plant based food is objectively cheaper, culture doesn't permit amoral acts, convenience isn't a valid reason to do wrong, and if mild social pressure from family is enough to cause one to act immoral, then those morals were pretty flimsy to begin with.

  • Eating meat. It contributes 15-20% of the entire planets greenhouse gasses alone. And people do it just for pleasure. It's mindboggling.

  • Whats been the toughest addiction to beat for you?

    Jump

  • I'm luckily sensitive to most medications, and find good success with herbal stuff like valerian and passionflower, any of the GABA ones really. They don't make me sleepy as much as they get rid of that little burning anxiety stress that keeps me awake.

    It's worth a shot for some people.

  • Well now this was just pleasantly well written.

  • Well google is a US country, so google bending the knee to Trump is fairly expected.

    But sure, if NZ wants to call itself Aotearoa, google should change that. Is Mexico wants to rename it to Mexico Americana, go for it.

    If the Mexican people take Umbridge with their government renaming their local maps, take it up with the government, not the map drawers.

  • What does google have to gain from saying no? A mild recapture of respect from the people with no political power?

    Also the territory isn't there's, sure, but it's also no one's. If weird ass trump wants to rename it in their countries name, go for it.

    Google shows Gulf of Mexico to Mexico, and both names to every other country.

    As Bannon literally pointed out, this is absolutely a Trump tactic, to firehouse the news with bullshit stories, and THIS is comparatively a non issue.

  • Eh I'm on the opposite side, despite being a massive lefty. Why would an american company not follow an American dictate just for America? (It's still called the Gulf of Mexico on Google in every other country) It sets a wild precedent where private businesses refuse to follow the fairly inconsequential requests of their government.

  • They did reduce. Fewer animals have been bred to feed me as my demand isn't there. Fewer emissions.

  • Because people continue to emit carbon. If people went vegan, carbon emissions would reduce.

  • Appeal to Futility again. A vegan diet literally fixes the problem. It would remove 68% of the food chains climate emissions.

    What do you think drives capitalism? If YOU stop eating animal products, and convince other people like I have, the demand for them drops. YOU are the problem, YOU are creating the demand, stop blaming a system, when you're literally the reason it exists.
