RE: [poincgames] supersteemboy on platfinity level 1 : rise from the quantum foam
Dude, what's wrong with the graphics? a lot of people like retro style games, espically as hard as that looked. Just think flappy birds, make it where when they die they go back to level 1......
platfinity doesn't give much leeway because it is zero scripting, its only design, you can add as many tiles as you like, there's background tiles (non interacting) , standard tiles (where you walk on), foreground (not interacting, rendered as the last layer before putting to screen) , hazard tiles (where you die on collision), moving hazards , platforms (set behaviour like left right up down, fall away, blink etcetera) and special tiles like checkpoints and start points and ladders , popup text and the lot, you can add all of those in graphics and put them anywhere, the levelspace is quite large, maybe ten times supermeatboy-size if you want and you can add music, but no scripting :)
i wasnt complaining about the graphics, merely stating that i'm not much of an artist so i have to work my way around that, generating them with formulas and code, or rendering them in blender (which is time consuming but i wanna try making the main char in blender there) its just a passtime really ... and today times seem to slip through every nook & cranny when it can, already 5 am again ... and polonies is de-listing assets DUH!
i think a total worth of about ten dollarcents lol, some crud i bought with one ETC once, you know, "just in case" and now the margins are so high i cant trade them back for BTC and they dont do direct exchange for others ... O WOE IS ME !
guess if it went the other way around i could have had $100 instead of lost $0.10 hahah
the gamedev thing is actually what i wanna be my thing mostly but i have too many intrests to stick to just one topic
but today is chaos, from the moment i woke up i felt it
a disturbance in the force :)))
I know the feeling, I'm trying to get caught up from yesterday and today. It's been rather crazy around here.
It looks like a cool program, I used one similar a long time ago, but it had some scripting. I'm thinking it was for quake or duke nukem mods. Now you just need to turn it into a google play app and become a millionaire.
gamegura, rpgmaker vx ace and appgamekit are a lot better but at the moment its pretty much all i can muster together with trying to stay active on steemit, more chaos = less time-management and im not much of a manager (not like that) ... i'm better at bubble-universe but that requires people with dedication ofcourse
im definitely NOT a teamplayer ... someone just says that word with that fake plastic smile or mentions "afterwork activity" i'm running lol
not that i have in a while, if the system leaves me alone i try to leave it alone, i'm too twisted by their shit to be functional in that shit anymore
but sometimes pencilpushing nazis get delusional ofcourse
millionaire huh
from one indie game ... :) its possible
its possible
It's possible, just don't let it ruin your life like the Flappy Birds guy did. I think he went nuts. It was interesting when he took the game down and you could sell an iPhone with it installed for 3 or 4 times what the phone cost.
i have to admit i never heard of this thing, i suppose you dont mean angry birds but some parody ? i dont play games on cellphones lol , any phone that can run anything decent is way above my paygrade anyway and if i get to it these days its always pc, i sold all my xboxes i ever had since they have tekken on pc now but i dont really get to it anymore
i dont really get to much of anything anymore, good thing steemit helped me dust of some of the programming, now to fight the theory of futility : one hour on a post is as much as three usually ... its a grind if you dont have money to boot ... i cant focus long enough on anything because im constantly busy with "what if next month" and other stupid shit in this hicktown
if i were to release a game i doubt it would be a platformer anyway ...
im gonna go over the replies here and re-install two pc's , its long overdue, nothing to beat holes like format c:
I don't have any games on my phone, it's a Samsung S4, which is 4 versions out of date...
The flappy birds game deal, just proved people are nuts. The graphics were clearly a knockoff of the Mario bros pipes. It was extremely simplistic yet insanely hard, and when you died, you started all over. People would get so frustrated with it they would break their phones. The weird thing was it never ended, it just went on forever.
Good luck with the formats, I'm working on some sql report scripts again today.
procedurally generated as they say ... neverending worlds heheh, interesting concept for sandbox games
if you want hard (jeezes i just went over the list in steem three times to find it) first thing comes to mind would be supermeatboy but id say "super distro"
five achievements and i think only five levels, one of those scrapware that stays on for 99cents or something i i didnt check the price .. i dont get to much gaming anymore lately, its almost tempting to try and write an a.i. to post my posts for me so i can lazy out like the bot-people hahah (although i think they got plenty on their hands with the customer service due to competition)
