Quoting: TcheyI find it very difficult to read the screen.

Collisions are unclear, who is where is unclear. And i don’t like much having target-to-cursor skills, have to play with both hands.

Also, the amount of upgrades actually made them messy IMO.

I’ll try more, it could be good indeed, but the first feel is not that great even if i prefer the visuals (similar to a game you should try : Stolen Realm).

I highly recommend you give it another chance :

- For the collisions and the stacking of effects, the settings (accessible while in game) allow you to tone down the opacity of spells, which is pretty useful.

- As for the amount of spells, it sure seems daunting at first, but I actually like how they're gradually presented to you : each characters have access to a few schools of magic (not all), and 3-4 unique spells, so overall it's not that bad.

Having played a bunch of other Vampire-like (Vampire Survivors, Boneraiser Minions, Don't shit on my *** roof and 20 minutes till' dawn... (yeah Liam, my social life doesn't thank you XD), I find the UI is pretty well designed : many indications on spells, what they do, which spells are actually boosted by the passives you take, what are the upgrades present on a slotted skillk etc.

The only downside (for me) is the low-poly graphic style, which I strongly dislike, but that's purely a question of taste. The effects are gorgeous though.

Good explanation d10sfan, thanks for that. Great to see Godot becoming a solution for things other than games too, it shows its versatility.

Still hesitating here. Seems really tempting, but the first one kicked my ass SO hard :'(

Slightly unrelated, but yes Black Sails is awesome indeed. AND the ending wasn't rushed !

While I do enjoy seeing Godot being used for more and more projects, one can wonder what the point is for this.

Quoting: fabertawe

Quoting: mr_daylightUnfortunately the developers of this game seem oblivious to the biggest problem with their game. Animation & Movement. It's honestly terrible. A fluid movement and attacking system would drastically increase the quality...

Is this a common quibble? Can you give an example? I've never thought it's anything other than great :huh:

The engine could do with some optimisation but otherwise I can't fault the game.

As for the update, I will probably dive in.

Never had any problem with that either... The only thing negative about this game is the painfully slow update rhythm from the devs.

That's an interesting feature for including cinematics in your game. Godot needs to keep its momentum, and features like that could bring more people, more attention, and perhaps more help to it.

I've been quite content with Godot 3's stability so far but sure, getting those issues down should be a priority... once Godot 4 is out.

A bunch of issues will also probably be resolved by either design changes in Godot 4, or simply the fact that some of those issues are explicitly targeted at obsolete versions. Anyway, I'm very happy for Godot, it's been a pleasure coding on it so far. If only I had more motivation to finish my projects :D

Quoting: CyborgZetaI'm not a fan of AppImage, personally. They're arguably more portable than Flatpak, but they lack Flatpak's sandboxing. The only AppImage I use is for Balena Etcher, because there's not Flatpak available.

I've been curious about it. I really wonder why anyone would be interested in sandboxing, as an end-user.

I mean, since Firefox is a snap on Ubuntu and "benefits" sandboxing, all HTML pages located in /usr/local/ are unopenable, several extensions I used (ex: VideoDownloadHelper and its companion app) no longer work (for "valid" reasons, still, it's a PITA)...

Aside from the added security for apps you don't trust (which by definition I tend to avoid installing in the first place), what's in it for the average Joe ?

I think it's a perfect opportunity to thank Wildfire Games for this gem that is 0 A.D, one of the first open-source RTS that was actually really good-looking and fun to play back then (more than) 10 years ago.

I've been playing the beta for a while now, didn't have any problems on Ubuntu. I'm hoping for "real" Linux release soon :D
