Making that mobile game on godot was hard man. When I had a laptop
I'd compile and turn into an apk, install the build on my phone. All hit boxes shifted roughly 5 pixels to the left while the assets stayed at their origin placement

errant raven
God no
I can show you umamusumes UI on mobile
Its food for mobile, except this one thing. Lemme show you

errant raven

See the little side way teardrops with the starting bracket numbers underneath the race distance indication bar? They dont work as intended, atleast to me, it looks like a incomplete feature they couldn't fit in from the desktop version.
Or I just misunderstand it, which is likely, given my low intellect
celest musk
did you try to sweep in that area?
that's how i would implement it, if there was horizontal scrolling
errant raven
I think it might just be displaying the distance between each racer and not related at all to the start/finish bar
I dont think that is even needed, the camera work is already good at showing it
If you actually play the game, do NOT pull for horse girls

yea but the gender/age target, what is it?
errant raven
People with jobs
celest musk
then why do you play this?
errant raven
F2p baby
mild gust
Due to monetization of the game.
celest musk
It has age restriction
17+ age restriction?
mild gust
Ye
mild gust
The game is rated 17+ for infrequent/mild sexual content and nudity.
celest musk
and here i was already about to uninstall it...
mild gust
The game's age restriction is tied to its monetization system, with purchase limits based on the confirmed age.

Okay, just got a mission offer to destroy the land mines that a girlfriend of a pilot placed around his ship, because she's ticked off at him.
I'd go right ahead and save them both, BUT I am late for a promotion ceremony.

Clever
errant raven
The game is rated 17+ for infrequent/mild sexual content and nudity.
I am confused as to where the sexual content and nudity is ngl
Obvious bait to get gooners to install
I havent seen any, unless thighs are sexual
errant raven
did i miss the fun part?
Training the horse girls and watching them race is pretty fun
celest musk
there are better idol(l) games ๐
errant raven
But the better your support cards are the less fun and easier it is
I havent watched a single concert 
I watch all the races tho
celest musk
but if it's all pre rendered you just watch the same cut scenes over and over again
just in a different order
celest musk
so mobile phones can render this stuff nowadays?!
errant raven
Yeah, games not very demanding
And minecraft bedrock is playable on phones with shaders and stuff
celest musk
wonder if this uses 2D sprites or 3D models with cartoon shader
errant raven
3D models with cartoon shaders
I havent seen any hair or clothes clipping through the models

Because it's made by a Japanese company

She got killed on the zeppelin no?
While some fans have speculated she might have survived and joined the Garrison, the official canon, as confirmed by the Character Encyclopedia and the reading drama, states she died during the Trost battle.
errant raven
But she didn't die, her doing the CPR was right after trost
mild gust
Tell that to the nerds
errant raven
They always show named characters deaths, hers was never shown

Apparently she was confirmed though, Goodbye Wall Sheena spin-off chapter.
She was either eaten by a titan or killed herself
But she's 100% dead
Her boyfriend died
mild gust
Okay email the writer of the Manga
Sure they can confirm for you
People died all the time in AOT
It's not a surprise she would be dead to
errant raven
Her mental was probably so fucked up they dismissed her
errant raven
They always show their deaths tho, every single named character had their death shown
mild gust
But they didn't
Or she would be listed
Lmfao
She literally appears in this article
as confirmed dead
I think multiple places confirming
Would be enough

its one thing to clinically write how the earth dies in my setting from a worldbuilding perspective, its another to see the ai put the utter horror that it was into stark words
||went through the command center, followed by a wave of choked, disbelieving sounds. The clean, sterile violence of space combat had not prepared them for this. This was a raw, biological, and deeply personal nightmare.
The feeds showed cities descending into a madness that defied reason. People, in the middle of a sentence, a step, a breath, would simply collapse, their bodies wracked with violent, uncontrollable seizures, their faces contorted into masks of pure agony. The Desolation. It hit everyone, everywhere, all at once. Alliance citizens in their gleaming towers, rebel sympathizers in their hidden enclaves, the rich, the poor, the innocent, the guiltyโit made no distinction.
The sheer, indiscriminate nature of the event was a cold, brutal confirmation. This wasn't a rebel weapon. It wasn't an Alliance super-virus. This was something else. Something that awoke a primal, instinct-level terror in every person watching. This was not the death of an enemy; it was the death of their species.
The horror deepened. The feeds from automated security stations and traffic monitors showed what happened to the survivors. Their humanity was gone, stripped away, leaving behind something feral. The audio pickups, designed to monitor city ambiance, now carried the sounds of animalistic howls and guttural shrieks echoing through the empty streets. The survivors, their minds shattered, fought each other with tooth and nail over scraps of food. One feed, from a high-resolution camera in a city plaza, showed a small group of them huddled over a fallen body, tearing at the flesh with their bare hands.||

See EON Trooper and EON Fighter.
Both games developed by a dev I know. Both extremely good and simple.

It also depends on the dev's social skills.
The good ones are usually busy building a community WHILE they build a game.
So, they are active on many forums, making contacts, getting support, gathering fans, etc.
median wraith
well recently on Twitter whatever I post is given like by couple friends and nobody else see it
so idk where to go for marketing now
mild gust
The good ones are usually busy building a community WHILE they build a game.
Like Tyler of Schedule 1
mild gust
He did a poll to see what content the players wanted next
median wraith
its like you made 800 followers for nothing
summer cedar
Well, the conversion ratio is considered to be something like 2% or something, or at least it was a long time ago.
So, if you have 800 followers, you might get 16 sales.
summer cedar
That's why support from big publishers is welcomed.
They get your content out to a 100 million people and you get 2-8 million copies sold.
median wraith
You make me feel worst
summer cedar
You're welcome.
The point being, it takes as much effort as you put into developing your game.
Marketing is a project by itself.
median wraith
There used to be forums etc now it's like everything's is overflowed
summer cedar
That's why companies take money to get you on the front page.

Made a grid of 20 Laser Towers Mk1.
Threw in a fire authorisation override. ๐
Now, every Xenos coming out of that gate will DIE, by the Emperor's grace ๐ .
I hadn't set the rules of engagement beforehand.
So the towers were hitting the Xenos one-by-one.
Lost 3 out of 20 because of that.
Now, I might just reinforce with another 20 ๐
The hilarious story is that I was out in my spacesuit repariing my ship with a hand repair laser, when two Xenon ships attacked.
Since I was inside my ship's shield grid/gravity field, my ship's captain dragged me along on the OUTSIDE, while he was fighting the Xenon and I could see all the turrets I deployed firing beam lasers at the enemy. All the while, I was repairing my ship. ๐
Bloody hilarious what this game enables you to do.

I have some early kitbash stuff and it's not great. Requires some work to make game ready in the optimal sense. But they seem to have gotten better. I picked up a later pack and it was UE ready and although I could criticise the modelling work, it was usable out of the box
I think they kept their old rep when some meshes were terrible tho
mild gust
why?
Also to be fair a lot of the stuff in that pack I got something similar from other packs before so far.
celest musk
yea, i was mainly interested in the vehicles and somehow i already have most of those types
mild gust
I kinda want the school bus
One vehicle I'm missing
That and a fire truck
Preferably with a working water cannon
celest musk
i got a schoolbus from another pack, let me check
mild gust
Like gta 5
mild gust
Dekogon ftw
celest musk
but yea, i need a good fire truck, too ๐
mild gust
Decently priced to
celest musk
maybe just wait, i guess it may popup in HB again some day
celest musk
the modular ambulance that was on HB a while ago?
mild gust
Believe so
celest musk
i had it, but it's gone, now wonder if i just deleted it because it's bad ๐
mild gust
Ever since 5.2 it's had a bunch of errors
Had to fix manually to even package my projects.
mild gust
Yup
So went to find an alternative
Also the dev disappeared
They don't support in their discord or email
So ๐คท
Like maybe see them once in a blue moon
mild gust
GFP?
celest musk
game feature plugin
celest musk
but yeah, it's somehow mid, too. some stuff looks nice, other parts not so much
celest musk
they had the worst kind of redeem system tho
i don't even have it on Fab
as it all went through their website
mild gust
35 packs on fab
๐ฎ
Gross
I bought some outside of humble
I got the emergency pack, https://www.fab.com/listings/f1f92a4f-b248-4939-a749-ddeeda859381
They also cause world partition problems
That I couldn't figure out
celest musk
oh nvm
mild gust
Tried everything I found on google
celest musk
i got that on Fab somehow
mild gust
It was a bundle one I think
celest musk
i could swear the redeem was on their website, maybe it was another older pack
summer cedar
Good morning! ๐ง๏ธ โ

Black screen here.
mild gust
Why would I lie to you
summer cedar
Bloody DNS.
summer cedar
Why would I lie to you
The nature of the devil.
summer cedar
More lies.
The graphics don't look ALL that great though.
I'd have thought they'd have upgraded to UE by now.
Given the client sizes for that game and its DLCs are like 100GB+.
mild gust
Stalker devs are Ukrainian
They are just built differently
They also put up their entire game on epic
summer cedar
--- In a recent interview with video game industry news website The Game Business, Wizard of the Coastโs president John Hight revealed that the company will be heavily invested in the Unreal Engine 5 and has plans to integrate the software with numerous upcoming Dungeons & Dragons video games. The goal is to be able to share digital assets between different developers in order to get games made more quickly. ---
mild gust
Idk what Phase 1 means but
When I installed it was around 760gb
My main pc could hardly handle it
Even with loading small chunks at a time
summer cedar
I love how Chinese game devs are in love with the Souls-genre.
It really does reflect their grinding mindset. ๐
mild gust
They love to suffer
mild gust
They learnt from the Japanese ๐
summer cedar
I just wish the Wuchang devs followed a more modern style.
Nah, I don't think so, because I feel the Chinese art direction and animations are better.
The Japanese are more restrained in terms of violent depictions.
mild gust
That's just Journey to the West talking
???
In China they have to censor blood
Lol
summer cedar
At least in terms of content censorship, they have modified their terms.
mild gust
When was it changed
Because when I looked into it 3 years ago
They had to change the colour of the blood
For their market
or they had to remove it
summer cedar
Yes, but I live in 2025.
summer cedar
Their censorship now seems to be 'just don't mess with the politics'.
mild gust
So
summer cedar
It's been surprising for several foreign authors, too.
Their books were denied before.
Now, it's like, "It's fine. Go ahead."
๐คฃ
mild gust
This article is from this year, https://splicedonline.com/does-china-allow-blood-in-games/
Still says no
๐คท
mild gust
So, why is blood in games a problem in China? The answer lies in the countryโs cultural and historical context. In Chinese culture, blood is often associated with violence, death, and chaos. The government is concerned that the depiction of blood in games could lead to a desensitization of violence and promote harmful behavior among gamers.
mild gust
Again for western audiences
If we were to watch the footage for china I imagine it's different
keen yoke
So bpn's aren't a thing in china?
mild gust
Same w/ Australia
keen yoke
Vpn's
summer cedar
So bpn's aren't a thing in china?
they are. they use them a lot.
keen yoke
That's crazy
summer cedar
If we were to watch the footage for china I imagine it's different
Turns out it's not.
The video was recorded in Beijing.
๐
I saw the extended version right now, with dev interviews there.
It's all bloody. ๐
summer cedar
This also dovetails with their recent TV serial releases.
They have more kissing and one or two sex scenes, too.
Plus, Wuxia/Xanxia is openly bloody.
mild gust
To be fair Australia has stopped being so strict on it themselves
summer cedar
Yea, it's open Games Con.
mild gust
So it's likely just an old thing
They allowed Back 4 Blood with no censorship iirc
Just required 18+ rating
summer cedar
More probably that the old people in charge of the censorship committees died.
The new ones were never in favour of such draconian rules anyway.
They just want business.
mild gust
Well it is silly
summer cedar
AH! That's why!
Previously, Steam was selling games in a gray zone, over there.
It was without license.
Now, they have a separate licensing agreement and the rules are streamlined.
mild gust
Well when you have how many of your people using vpns to game
summer cedar
So, I guess it was all about bribes and under-the-table stuff.
mild gust
Kinda happens
summer cedar
No, apparently, they never blocked Steam before.
mild gust
Yeah but
summer cedar
They just didn't 'officially' license the sale of games there.
summer cedar
SO, Chinese players have been using GLOBAL and CHINESE versions of the app.
summer cedar
This is cool.
mild gust
Can do it from anywhere
summer cedar
So long as the politics are out of the industry, most people won't care.
Which is just fine.
celest musk
this proofs that LLMs are somehow shipped with the mindset of a elementary school pupil
summer cedar
It's probably just a few countries in the West.
celest musk
i don't even know what it tried to show me here
mild gust
Well they can't do much in that regard anyways
celest musk
summer cedar
I get the pic on the right side.
E.Intel helps dampen social anxiety.
the left-hand side one, I think it was trying to say 'not so much' with Intel and N.S.Anxiety.
celest musk
๐คท
summer cedar
Leaving aside the weird left-pic, it kinda makes sense.
Intelligence usually just stirs the brain soup.
Makes things worse before it makes it better.
celest musk
i think it's a lack of intelligence
in one or the other field
as intelligence helps with coping
anxiety is either due to bad experience or because of lack of knowledge (to simplify it)
summer cedar
Not necessarily. It's how that intelligence functions that matters. Even if it can think very well, it'll run rings around the problem before actually solving it.
Even if the actual solution is quite simple.
summer cedar
anxiety is either due to bad experience or because of lack of knowledge (to simp...
also true.
But yeah, that pic. ๐
Also, you did ask for the cat, but why just plop it down in the middle?
Plus, that cat looks major chill. ๐
celest musk
if i had a printer here i would print and frame this
summer cedar
Keep it on your phone and as you pass by a photo studio, tell them to do it.
--- โTo be completely honest if they made Skyrim in Unreal and rerererereleased it im buyingโ, commented user sirferrell. ---
I wonder if Todd is listening.
Time for a UE Skyrim and 1.5 billion copy sales.
summer cedar
They've got SEVEN different releases of Skyrim across platforms.
People are asking for another.
mild gust
Nty
summer cedar
Beth can just outsource it, just like Obli.
mild gust
I'd rather a good game
summer cedar
It's not like THEY are going to remake it.
mild gust
Remake morrowind
summer cedar
Yeah, but peeps are asking for Skyrim.
summer cedar
No, they want Skyrim UE.
mild gust
Nope
summer cedar
No. 8.
mild gust
Morrowind
summer cedar
Yep.
summer cedar
The yes(s) are gathering on Reddit, apparently.
summer cedar
Depends. If Todd smells 1.5 billion copies.
mild gust
summer cedar
What's its relation to Bethesda?
summer cedar
They just outsource now, mate.
mild gust
They still have control
summer cedar
Oh Lord, this is the same studios that made Redfall.
Yeesh!
I hope they don't screw up ๐ค
mild gust
Yeah it will flop
summer cedar
To be fair, they also made Prey and Deathloop, not to mention Dishonoured.
So, as long as they don't repeat a stupidity, it should be okay. ๐ค
mild gust
summer cedar
China's getting a LOT of action games this year and next.
They are really milking the souls-genre.
summer cedar
Probably the dumb cat in the thumbnail was a reason.
mild gust
This guy tried make a souls-like call of duty shooter game
summer cedar
Uh, there was a game that did that kinda okay.
It had guns and stuff.
I forget its name. It's on Gamepass.
mild gust

Back at run escape, let's see what he gets blamed for today lol. https://www.twitch.tv/piratesoftware

It's not normal
Even some area's here with air warnings due to excessive smoke
Dark gray skies ftw
Canada
Mostly from the fires in the west
Yeah make the world borderless
Lol
cursive crypt
It is PM1: 14/ug PM2.5: 17/ug and PM10 27/ug here which is moderate pollution.
median wraith
When I see the Canada 40k liters airpanes
mild gust
Air Canada on strike ๐
median wraith
and here with helicopters that have 900 L and aircrafts that have 4.500 lol
it's like going to pee
so it's basically doing nothing
mild gust
Immigrants make more money not working here, than flight attendants get.
median wraith
DING DING DING
mild gust
Almost like it pays to not work
median wraith
here isn't almost
actually we pay them for not work

mild gust
Makes no sense
median wraith

mild gust
Why should we subsidize laziness
