There is a tiny sliver of truth to that
Some people will naturally have faster reflexes for example
But someone with slower reflexes can train to be equally as good, if not with aim or reflexes then with game sense alone

Dont even need good aim in csgo, proper crosshair placement is used more than actually aiming

Hi all i am working on a horror game and i want to end it with a jumpscare. But i dont want it to be a normal plain old jumpscare i want to make a good build up to the scare. Now what would you all consider a good build up to a scare. btw just so you know the game takes place in a forest.
empty dune
Hi all i am working on a horror game and i want to end it with a jumpscare. But ...
id say the best way would be to use the jumpscare only once and that is right at the end. jumpscares only work when people dont expect it and most people now associate horror games with jumpscares so they will be expecting it
if you can go the game without using the cheap scare tactics and finally hit them with a jumpscare, it would probably be more effective
for example, in the original deadspace, upgrade terminals were seen as safe. i mean, nobody could knock you out of the upgrade menu right? so it was very effective when you get attacked by necromorphs at an upgrade terminal towards the end of the game
tulip orbit
yeah, slow steady build up of no jump scares, when you expect them. then WHAM end credits "Game Over, you have to back to reality now"

How do you calculate how much tax will be deducted from pay?
(Multiply, divide, subtract) tax from pay?
cursive crypt
Most times it is multiply and subtract, because taxes frequently are applicable to ranges of income.
cursive crypt
Say, 0% up to X dollares, then 10% above, but you have then varying social above and up to certain range.
errant raven
Does it matter if I calculate the tax from first pay then multiply that pay by numOfPays[each pay after the first] assuming each time I get paid I worked the same amount of hours with no pay raise between
cursive crypt
A x (B + C) = A x B + A x C
So, it does not. As long you reach the same result π
At least a basic research on your country tax law is recommended.
errant raven
I think it's like 7% for fed tax and like 4-5% for city/state
Or 7% total split between the three
Gotta triple check

so difference right there
celest musk
if i think of the first games i've played on amiga... you could almost say that they are all the same π
most was just jump'n'run platformers
still they felt unique
empty dune
ive been toying with this idea i thought was really cool. like imagine you had a crew and you could control them rts style, sort of. BUT you are also a member of the crew and doing stuff simultaneously. so the combat is mostly you taking up one role (such as say, piloting) and having another crew member be the main turret gunner and another for damage control. and you could give them orders through like a radial wheel
it works, sort of. i have gotten basic movement, decision making and SOME roles complete. Like they can shoot and move to fix fires and stuff. the thing that im having a lot of problem with is letting them pilot. Like the player may choose to tell their crew to pilot and they themselves may go on the gunner seat. So the AI crew member will have to fly the ship and that is a huge problem i have yet to solve
pearl elk

yeah ive done that (with htn, not behaviour tree)
problem is i cant figure out how to let the AI crew make "mistakes" while piloting but not be so goddamned bad that the player feels like they must take the pilot chair or theyll lose the game
i figured it out for shooting that was relatively easy
not for flying

i thought about letting the player possess whatever character they choose but that doesnt really fit what i want to do

celest musk
best it probably to figure/observe how a player could/would screw that up and then replicate it as AI (eventually bount to a pilot skill, which improves?!)
empty dune
like i said, i doubt anyone would steal it, this project is not easy in the slightest lmao
pearl elk
best idea would be to copy boats and submarine movement Id say
empty dune
and if they do it faster than me without looking at a single inch of my code, they probably deserve to steal it
celest musk
e.g. you could maybe send bad pilots on easy missions alone and let them level
yea but how do players screw up piloting at all?
fly into asteroids?
or fly wonky/too fast during combat so that the gunners cant hit?
pearl elk
I was doing all my code on live stream lol, if someone wants to watch it all to piece together and steal my code so be it π

overshoot the target, miss time a strafe, move too wobbly so that the gunner cant hit (like you said), not manage velocity well and give the enemy too much angle of attack etc

so i want the ai to not be a laser pointer fixed onto the enemy ship. i dont want it to know the route or trajectory of the enemy ship AT ALL. all i want it to know is the direction of movement, the acceleration and heading, and the velocity. From that the ai would have to guess where to go.
These are the same information a player would have

see as a simple solution i would use the perfect shoot as reference A
and the worst possible as reference B
then interpolate based on the skill of the gunner
and some RNG
sometimes even a bad gunner may hit hard π (eventually each hit would level them up)

huh, thats actually a pretty good idea
perfect is obvious, just gotta define the worst possible reference
HMMMMMM
pearl elk
percentage error
celest musk
for the interpolation you could also use curves to make the initial leveling more obvious, while it needs longer for them to get a perfect shooter

eventually you build stuff like obstacle detection in the spaceship and the pilot get's events from there, or you place all the logic on the character π€·
depends on your overall game design/logic
empty dune
DUDE, i think i got it.i was focusing on the wrong part of the problem. most piloting mistakes are bad decision making AND bad reactions. i was focusing on the decision part, i completely ignored the reaction. if i instead let the AI cheat and take the perfect route but add a bad reaction to it, it would try to follow the exact trajectory but might not turn or slow down or whatever in time. this is probably more doable

so a better pilot would make the turns and accelerations in time where as a bad pilot wouldnt. they would still try to follow the optimal route to the target ship. so instead of many many possible objects to consider, all you have to do is consider the enemy ship, your ship and any obstacle in the way. in this scenario id only need the perfect flying reference, that is following the enemy ship turn for turn. the errors introduced by bad reaction would mess things up by itself

You'll have few takers for that bet. The crashes have been SO well documented now.
Cities Skylines 2 developer, "The community is too toxic nowadays."
Me, "But you released a game that had entire systems that were faulty or just missing."
Also me, "Then you told gamers that perhaps the game wasn't for them. THEN, you deleted that tweet and said you were doing your best to fix those problems."
They weren't really, toxic I mean.
But yes, we should appreciate buses parking one behind the other and upending themselves. π
Cities Skylines 2 gave me some amazing screenshots; that I admit. π
