Stormgate developers say they want to lower the RTS skill floor, not the skill ceiling: 'It's okay to be a high-skill game'
  • Alongside the Buddy Bot, Frost Giant's implementing game modes to appeal to players who are interested in RTS gameplay, but might not seek out the intensity of 1-on-1 competitive RTS matches. In addition to a story campaign that can be played with three players, Stormgate will have a separate 3-vs-AI mode, custom games, and a competitive 3-vs-3 mode where each team has to defend a single, large base structure.

    As the typical RTS enjoyer who only plays singleplayer, this type of paragraphs make me less and less interested in this game.

  • Four Leaf Studios is pleased to announce that Katawa Shoujo will soon be available on Steam and Itch!
  • This is unfortunately typical of visual novels. The line level sentence-to-sentence prose is rarely even adequate, and often what they choose to describe is already shown as an image on the screen. The best ones, I feel, simply omit the prose and have only dialogue, and if they choose to describe an already-visible image, the description ought to tell what isn't already available as visual information.

  • Ongelmia sopulin ja lemmy.worldin välillä
  • Osaatko sanoa onko tässä kyse siitä, että lemmyä ei ole suunniteltu lemmy.worldin kokoisille instansseille, vai ratkeaako ongelma pistämällä lisää laskentatehoa / load balansointia instanssiin?

  • Ongelmia sopulin ja lemmy.worldin välillä

    Huomasin, että artshare-yhteisön viestit olivat vähentyneet valtavasti. Kysäisin asiasta, ja näyttäisi siltä, että sopuli ei saa lemmy.worldista viestejä laisinkaan tai niissä on viivettä.

    META - where did the people go?

    I noticed that for a week or so now the community has been much smaller tham it used to be. I'm seeing an almost 90% decrease in posts, comments, and votes. Did something get defederated or did a big community go down? Lemmy stats show that Lemmy average user count is still about the same.

  • Good work! Perspective is one of those things that is pretty mechanical, and one can avoid learning it for a long time by using crutches. It's always faster to work when one has internalized perspective and especially foreshortening so it comes automatically.

  • I sort of hoped that Lemmy communities would have a more original "redditquette" idea to downvoting where downvotes are explained and only done when a post is noise instead of signal. But I guess downvoting as a system will always be "I don't like this opinion/post". It's a shame.

    I upvoted this because you posted artwork that you created yourself, which is the point of this community.

    Uuden topicin kielivalinta ei toimi

    Jos yrittää postata uuden topicin ainakin meta-osastoon, niin kieltä ei voi valita. Selaimen network-tabilta tulee oheinen virhe:

    {"error":"language_not_allowed"}

    tälle requestille:

    https://sopuli.xyz/api/v3/post payload: {"name":"Kielivalinta ei toimi","community_id":4,"body":"asdasdsadsads","language_id":44}

    vaikuttaisi tapahtuvan sekä suomelle että englannille. Jos kieltä ei valitse, postaus onnistuu.

    Linkkien kuva-previewin muodostaminen

    Mahtaisiko täältä löytyä vinkkejä siihen miten saisin oman taideportfolioni linkit toimimaan niin, että kuvien esikatselu toimisi aina?

    Tästä linkistä muodostui preview: https://sopuli.xyz/post/9123511

    Tästä ei: https://sopuli.xyz/post/10080062

    Molemmissa käytetään og:image -metatagia.

    Jälkimmäisessä oli alunperin jpegin tiedoissa orientaationa top-right, jonka myöhemmin korjasin top-left. Pohdin olisiko tuosta kiinni ja korjautuisiko preview jos jokin lemmyn cache nollautuisi tuolle linkille.

    When the British empire colonized afterlife

    My longest work yet, around 5-6 days I think. I started with a 14 line armature and painted the figure, then tried to decide what to add to each line / knot. Ultimately, I didn't quite manage to use the armature, but it still turned out ok.
