Trastion posted:People actually do that poo poo? I just did myself to the end or build bridges over the lava and stuff. The new implementation of dungeons actually prevents that kind of cheeseballing - until you disable the generator at the end. Fun fact, though - you can parry the damage from an electric wall/floor. And once you've started parrying, you don't stop until you stop getting it, so if you parry as you land, you can just kind of bulldoze your way across with no problem.

So is it just me, or does a decent shield make the first couple of bosses stupidly easy? Especially if you can parry some of the big hits (crystal lasers, UFO rams) to save on durability. Like, it's not trivial, at all, but it seems WAY easier...

Has anybody got suggestions on how to beat the Floran Party? Melee combat is the least fun thing in this game.

How frustrating. "Here's a really cool creative level-building feature! Now check out how much horrible bullshit progression/resource slog we're gating it behind. Thanks for the money, fuckers!"Tengames posted:You could tell that starbound devs never made railway paths because starbound development is incapable of being on track. this is a good-rear end post tho

Normal people put their item lists in data files and read them in at runtime. If you're hardcoding your item list, well, that thing works okay. Switch statements are almost never appropriate for anything, ever, FYI.

deadly_pudding posted:This works, too, but I'd prefer the hardcode version honestly in a game with online multiplayer support. And I'd prefer the softcode version in a game with mod support! Support your modders, guys, they're probably better at this than you are to begin with. senae posted:Not necessarily from a game design point of view, maybe, but switch statements would be helpful for making a series of discrete input options. Like you've got a dropdown with several possible options, a switch statement can be more readable, and a little easier to expand. My main problem with switch statements is that I've never seen a language that makes them take up less lines of code than an if-else block. Their main feature is fall-through cases, which are mostly a great way to put invisible bugs in your code. Literally the first book I ever read about programming a computer included an example of a program with a broken switch block. I guess I would use a switch block for things where I need 4 or more values to go to the same place, but as long as it's one-value-one-destination, if-else is going to be less likely to gently caress off and die. Seven Force posted:I know this is OT but I appreciate the detailed responses. It's nice to know efficient ways to code stuff. gently caress this topic Seven Force posted:On topic: I can't believe I used to defend this game. A true life lesson I have learned is never to ever defend a video game. Play it or don't. LordSaturn fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Apr 7, 2016 |

The best thing about Unity for me is that it has Actual loving C# (2.0) under the hood. C# is not the best language, but it is feature-complete, so you won't struggle too hard implementing whatever algorithm you might need. Godot and Game Maker both use proprietary languages, which comes back to bite you in obscure ways. If you're not that into programming, though, you'll probably have less trouble. Unity and GM are both very good at simulating objects interacting in an environment, which is what most games amount to.

Which way to the game dev thread? I can't find it at all, and I know there's a lot of crosstalk between there and here. EDIT: Cicadas! posted:I can't leave well enough alone These are great but why no hand-axe?

Sloppy Milkshake posted:i think all the 'good' stuff is in the nightlies Babe Magnet posted:This is the thing here. The walk-backwards-speed normalization is in the nightlies, all of the interesting weapons and items are in the nightlies, biomes, quests, the new game mechanics like ship-hands and followers and fossil collecting, all or most of that stuff is sealed away in the nightlies right now so if you're interested in seeing what's been going on with the game for the past few months then you're going to be waiting more. this is to leave themselves enough time to cut it all before the next stable release don't worry, Tiy won't let anyone unretard his baby

SlyFrog posted:It's the naive, young goon lack of awareness that while correlation is not causation, there often is a very real connection between what seems to be an excessive focus on loving around and things not related to the game and, well, not actually producing a game. this is a loving long wire to draw from starbound being a lovely game how about "Tiy is loving dumb when it comes to making a fun game, but real smart in terms of organizing reasonable people into a system for making GBS threads all over a promising new game so hard that it damages the genre"

OrangeSoda posted:Is this true? With the summer sale going on iv'e been thinking about picking it up. I need something chill to play inbetween the bouts of pain and vomiting that has been my "four day weekend". It's weird and slow (who makes a DF-like with no fast-forward feature?), but "suck" would be putting very strongly.
