Oh by the way, I researched the HPB blockchain. It's proof of work, meaning the game (probably) mines coins on your PC. My guess is it sends 75% to the developer, and the rest to you - as an incentive to keep the game running. Furthermore, the FAQ of the blockchain is in Chinese, there is no team listed and the market cap is barely over $12M, which is the hallmark of what people call a "shitcoin". The best part? 1 HPB costs $0.18. They are literally giving you fractions of a cent.

When my game is complete I'd be so lucky to have someone tear it apart before release so I don't embarrass myself. Every enemy running past you when attacking is clearly because it only checks the player's position every 0.5 instead of every frame which might save performance. Not being able to close a window might have something to do with how the windows are layered. Tiny bugs that could be ironed out in a few minutes. The graphics however, is going to take a long time to fix.

33:15 to be entirely fair, when I think of strafing, I think largely of two situations: Either moving directly left and right for situations in which you're shooting at an enemy; moving from cover to cover or dodging fire, and circling around an enemy. In both situations, you'd be in combat. Obviously knowing where you're going is good, but it's also a bad idea to take your eyes off the enemy. In both cases, looking the opposite direction that you're moving while strafing would have you 'looking' at the enemy.
@Micharlus2 жыл бұрын
Just wanted to point out about strafing and head movement. It makes sense when engaging an enemy. When your target is in front of you and you're just kinda strafing around them, the head looks in a direction where the enemy would be standing. If they don't have head following target system, this is a nice cheaty way to get this effect. Should be only for combat though as it does look silly in every other situation. But on the movement itself, it does make some sense, it has a purpose. :D Btw, my friend was that "good" at swimming, he did manage to swim backwards when we were taught classic style. :P

Not sure if your up for it but I think it'd be fun to watch you and your patrons play some of these bad games together on stream or something...but then again given the incredibly low player count of some of these games you'd probably crash the servers. :P)

"What is the point of crafting" this feels like a question I ask for most RPGs, by the time you level up your worker classes and gain the resources required and make am item. It just end up being a waste of time and resources as it usually is inferior to most regular monster drop equipment. Some few games have made it work but most of them, just make crafting and stores irrelevant for equipment

Listening to you describe this game brings back memories of OG Final Fantasy 14. Soloing was impossible past level 10 as enemies were scaled to a full party of 6 players. Quests did not appear on the map, and they never explained where to go. Crafting took insane amounts of time investment if you wanted to gather your own materials, so a major part of the economy was grinding crafting ingredients for other players. It was just expected of the community to band together to play that game. And for a long while, we did. Good times... *edit: I mistyped and meant XI, not XIV*

actually, the looking in the opposite direction while strafing makes sense. after all, if you were strafing sideways, the thing you're strafing around would likely be in the opposite direction. But what I do want to ask nobody in particular is if this is one of those games made of bought assets/engines?

Can I just say: Your final adventure is how any journey in Everquest 1 was, even just going to a dungeon for your level, especially when it was on another continent. The thrill of traversing creepy areas with monsters that could 1shot you, causing you to lose exp worth hours or days of grind and even all your possessions if you don't manage to get back your corpse while completely naked. I miss those times. Nowadays it's all just "meh I died, no problem", "meh it's on the other side of the globe, I just click this teleporter"...............

Crafting in wow has the same issue. It's basically a waste of time or materials except in niche cases. If I wanted to get heavily into it and play a bit more of an RP style where I gather an make my own gear, the gear is all just junk. Unless it's extremely high level non weapon and non armor items or utility items, it's just useless. The new xpack has fixed this to an extent with crafted armor, but you can only equip one useful crafted item at a time and the grind to craft a better version is huge and expensive... Time better spent grinding gold and just buying the items off the auction house.
