i am so bad at distance and scale. couple weeks ago i was laying out a loose map for this city region I wanted to model. was trying to strike a balance between making it as big as I want it to all be, and how much I'll actually do before getting distracted/discouraged/think-it-sucks. in particular i tried to keep the number of individual buildings somewhat down. og map sketch  then i threw in blender and was going to roughly start blocking things out. scaled up the map to be about 2km, which just sounded normal to me somehow for a videogame map idk.  but jeez, at that size, this small square on the map was meant to be one of the smaller 3-story buildings, bout 36 feet high. but that building sized rectangle is like 10 buildings, which means the bigger ones are waaay more.  obviously i can just scale my map back down to be closer in size, but then, did i just make a tinyworld map instead? i guess thats the point of this project really, figuring this poo poo out. also is this an interesting game map? would u want to walk around such a cityscape??

Instead of scaling your map up or down you need to figure out your scale and then redraw everything to that scale. Stuff like street width (don't forget gutters,sidewalks, shoulders, intersections, etc), how big are your city blocks, how small is the smallest building, how big is the biggest building, etc. In conjunction with your scale, you need to primarily consider movement mechanics. Is this a vehicle based game? On foot only? Both? Platforming? Are you a superhero and can fly? How quickly can the player move through the space? How long is too long to get from point A to point B? You may need to fudge the size and scale in favor of more fun or better player experience at the expense of straight 1:1 real world dimensions. mutata fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Jun 21, 2022 |

Leon Kennedy has killed a lot of cops canonically, a surprising number of government officials, and so so so many mercenaries. Non-canonically he was killed and replaced by another version of himself born without the sin of having been a cop.

Stuff like street width (don't forget gutters,sidewalks, shoulders, intersections, etc), how big are your city blocks, how small is the smallest building, how big is the biggest building, etc. good point, prior to this exersize I was worried about my streets not being wide enough, along with alleys not being wide enough to navigate through when i want them to be. my intention is all-walkable, maybe vehicles if i can figure it out but they'd either be tiny vehicles, like ralph s mouse u shrink to ride, or underground. more or less im trying to make my own kamurocho-like space to walk around and sightsee in (but with more rooftop and upper-level spaces to explore). but yeah, currently have no idea how long it would take to walk from one end of a 2km plane to the other. this world also has so many beings, its probably not sensible for me to be scaling buildings to human size anyway. Goblins here can be anything from nanobot sized to too-big-for-planet. Goblin Architecture's trick is that it's always bigger on the inside than the outside anyway, long as you can squeeze inside could be infinite space inside. does sound like i'll need to redraw this map, maybe even block it out in 3d to scale and map it that way. in which case i should take a walk on a 2m plane ue5 and time it. its also occurring to me that maybe i should do the opposite and just start making buildings and have them scaled wildly different, like, so what if i a door is the size of a house or tiny knee-high one? hmmm naww, gotta learn anatomy before you start getting weird with it

I said come in! posted:20 million actually seems pretty low for a mobile game? In comparison, the recently released Ni no Kuni Cross Worlds made 100 million in a single week. i'd imagine ni no kuni probably has a broader reach into a particularly vulnerable segment of the mobile gaming population (younger kids with access to their parents' credit cards), as well as ghibli films having more cultural cache around the world compared to diablo the unfortunate reality is that mobile games as gambling simulators aren't going away. there's little political will in most of the world for restrictions on such a vastly profitable enterprise, even when done through outrageously predatory practices, and if all the moralizing in the world has failed to make a dent in the longevity of vegas, it's unlikely to make much of a dent here either

i think the state of the industry is best encapsulated by the kotaku article on Fo76's development i read yesterday, where a large part of Fo76's crunch and push for early release was driven by internal jealousy over the fact that fallout shelter - that lovely little base-building game that looks like a unity project thrown together in a month - had made something like $200 million and was bethesda's most profitable fallout game ever. there's just no way to compete with those numbers with traditional one-time purchase titles

The game is playable on PC too, and bots have flooded the game making all of the servers have 4+ hour queue wait times to play. On top of all of the serious issues that crypto presents that we've all gone into and agree is bad many times before.

you know how in original star trek they had a run of episodes where the enterprise would run smack dab into some bizarrely monothemed planet, like the Cowboy Planet or the Nazi Planet my current increasingly-correct theory is that we are, in fact, the Gambling Planet

I got an email from a website called coolstuffinc. They sell board games and tabletop gaming stuff. The email was mostly just updating me on new items in stock and new sales going on. It also imcluded this terrible comic. I am not going to check out more of "Cardboard Crack" and also that is some of the laziest art I've seen for a webcomic. I thought "I'm terrible and even I could do better than that in ms paint." Half an hour later and I had this.  I think I succeeded. It's a low bar to clear but I'm proud of this lovely little shitpost comic I made and I think it's better, even if only by a hair.

elden ring would be a lot better without the soft caps on stats if it were literally possible to grind enough to get to the point where endgame bosses only do 5% of your health bar per hit, it would be maybe the best open world game ever as it stands, FROM's dogged commitment to "harsh gameplay" really holds it back. it's a shame too, because in the first 3/4 of the game, you actually can grind enough to make bosses not hurt you much, but then you get to the last 1/3 of the game and suddenly it's just not possible to do that, which is a big fail
