Yeah, that was clearly just the group having fun, sounds like it might have been some kind of in-joke. Stuff like keygen music and adding extra fun stuff to your cracks has always been part of the culture. For the most part, while I’m not saying there is zero risk, but as long as it’s from verified groups with good reputation, your pirated software will be safe to use - also part of the culture.

Just another case of a small, unknown competitor trying to gain market share with the supreme life simulator sandbox CK3, smh frfr

Oof, I haven’t touched shaders in Godot myself yet, besides a very simple section during one tutorial, so maybe I should not give any advice, but I think this can be solved by applying the shader to the pond and adding a check for transparency before applying the changes to the pixels.

I ran an instance for a while out of curiosity a few years back - building the database seemed to work fine and appeared like a good idea, had a lot of fun to see the connections with other servers and my crawler filling holes of unknown spaces. But I think the search algorithm itself was (most likely is) not sophisticated enough, it just did not give relevant results often enough, and it was extremely vulnerable to very simple SEO tactics to push trash to the top.

You truly are the hero we need but don’t deserve 🫡

Dog was working for the Prussian secret police, ACAB has always been true, smh fr fr

My favourite German fairy tale has to be this one.

The harrowing morality tale, teaching you that you better stay in your lane, peasant, especially if you are a Bratwurst!

Strangely enough, this is often the exact other way around for me, but it heavily depends on the true crime documentary. Horror movies, for the most part, leave me apathetic. My brain has problems to suspend disbelief for them - especially when they rely on supernatural elements. So many horror movies are more enjoyable surreal films, while reading or hearing about truly horrible events in real life can disturb me quite a lot sometimes.

Really, the big problem are the instability from ripple effects. How will the world react to massive migrant crises and new, more intense conflict? To increasing economic recessions and the breaking away of old privileges? All things we are already seeing and that won’t go away anytime soon.

Now, total extinction of the species, yeah, that is very unlikely, unless something really unexpected happens. But throwing us potentially back centuries in progress, and killing a majority of people? A nuclear exchange from escalating tensions could create something like that.

Played both Undertale and Deltarune on Deck, it works well with the controls. Enjoy! It’s a great experience, wish I could play it for the first time again.

Ah, sad, thank you for researching! Here’s hoping it will come back in some form.

Fun fact: The designer almost went with “Cool Centrist Clicker”, they have a devlog about it.

Thank you <3

Nice, congratulations! <3

I will definitely have a look later, and wishlist it for now, it sounds interesting concept-wise.

AFAIK, yes, they pulled it back after the backlash - it just highlights that you will always be dependent on their decisions in the end. But overall - go with what feels better for you.

What engine would most suit a RPG game that’s 2.5D isometric view, is kind to new developers and has a whole load of reference material so I can teach myself as I go?

I only have experience with Godot, but from that I can say its documentation is really good and has helped me so far to teach myself important stuff (am really new to game dev, but had some programming experience), and I do know it has support for isometric tilesets.

Unity, I have no experience with, but I guess it’s overall more mature from being in use so much. It does come with some issues, see the scandal around their planned profit sharing policies a while back, which Godot circumvents by being free software.

Excited to see that one!

Ooh, nice, will have a look after I finish coding for the day.

EDIT: Had a look, and, damn, you really got the atmosphere and buildup down right. Felt very professional and exciting!

Oh, yeah, they are absolutely elated to be working at the prestigious Smiles Coffee Group in the richest part of the city!

Thank you ^^
