fog is stupid as poo poo. this idea might NOT be. need a mechanic that makes this game a bit more interesting long term

heh ripped straight off mincecraft, that notch mother fucker is going to pay!

hey echi you should play through sub-terrania on md/gen if you want ideas for stuff to do in a gravity-rocket-shooter game, there's at least one cool unique mission every stage

(probably quit when you get to the water stages tho, they're long on bullshit and short on fun ideas)

holy poo poo people who have played my game say it's hard to control that game looks fuckin mental, my gave is far more forgiving

at the moment I am torn between focusing on single player adventure and potentially making it a bit sandboxy :/ constructing a show-off vid to drum up support and might do a kicks starter to alow me to buy Mac to
compile on Mac :]

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
yeah please give your game a point. sandbox games are only really fun when there's also an enemy to go up against or a goal to achieve, like so you get the chance to see how well your inventions perform.

in other news, today i ran into one of the high school kids on the robotics team. he was riding to school on some kind of homemade moped bicycle contraption with an unmufflered chainsaw engine connected to the rear wheel, brapapappapapapapapappapaa BRAAAAAAAAAA the whole way. he had his competition robot strapped to the back with duct tape, batteries and wires hanging off everywhere. when a ton of the team is mostly into poo poo like pokemon and my little pony and reddit, seeing kids doing this in their spare time makes me happy.

I've added a block placing mechanic ala minecraft and it's kinda cool but I'm thinking make it "expensive" to do so so the player can build mini structures around the level but the idea might be suck and might suit a new different game altogether and remove it from this game altogether

don't add sandbox elements because if you open that door people will just demand more and more sandboxable elements and you will be making minecraft

gently caress the player's special snowflake creative dreams - this is your opportunity to show us what your vision is.

good points and encouragement towards doing somehting worthwhile and pure but see

my visiion? welp, i kinda already hit that. im just making poo poo up now. i think "would this be fun", gently caress around and if it is or not well i move depending. placing blocks in the game is kinda fun so im not going to abandon the idea but its definitely going to be an additional game mechanic certainly not a main one, and ultiamtely my vision? is to be able to do this poo poo for a job.. if that means accepting billions like notch, i will reluctantly sell out to do so. if making the game a bit more mass appeal so that more people maybe pay me money and i can get enough money to quit jobs.. im not oging to be concerend and i can chase my true pure vision later

If you hit your vision then post the kickstarter, Polish it up, and make some money. I would pay money for your game. Adding sandbox bullshit is not the answer.

don't put it on loving kickstarter dude

here's what you do

register a digitalocean for 5 bucks

create a crude html page with no background color
put up a paypal

allow ppl to send money orders
make it old school

start viral spamming it as underground hit
attract the hipsters

not at all. all i did was add a block adding mechanic. so far thats ALL

this game could be quite fun mutliplayer. being able to add blocks in those instances i feel could be quite fun.

WUT.
maybe like have a versus thing where you can place blocks on the other guy's thing and he needs to get to the objective as fast as possible, then he puts obstacles on yours or some poo poo? youd have to have an algo that would detect if the path was completely blocked tho and prevent that from happening. agree with jonny that you need to have a goal or objective or some sort of actual gameplay to make it a game and not a toy

i wanted to try out d3js, but then found c3js and got sidetracked. i have at the minute a script that scrapes the data i need, sends it to my web server to store it, the github page then retrieves it and plugs it into the visualisatio http://valeyard.github.io/ ,ive got a few things to do before im done messing around with that

so at the moment i just need to hit 1 button to refresh the stats, which is good

im gonna change the chart so it shows all the main forums, and then when you click each slice of the pie it opens up a secondary chart with the stats for that forum. so click on gbs and it brings up a new chart showing the distribution of people in gbs/front page discussion/EN

i'm not really sure waht this graph is showing since it isnt labeled but i'm pretty sure that i can infer from it that games is the 1st largest forum and dandd is the 4th.

i'm not sure which one i find more distrubing

wait where the heck is yospos??

visit the site again (do a ctrl+f5 refresh just in case) and then click on any of the slices

the numbers are messed up and not properly representative at the moment

the first main pie shows just the viewers in each of the top level forums

then you click each one and it shows a comparison of, for example, the users in SHSC vs YOSPOS vs Tech Support vs COBOL (although COBOL is hosed up because its the only subforum that has another subforum of its own)
