8:43 AM

But seriously though, there is a "permitted size" for your game?

This is on IndieDB

Greenlight Garbage - Zombie Attack VR

►

wow

user92578

that's not garbage imho

it's pretty garbage m8. Staying in one spot cause of VR and shooting dem spooky zombies. Like wow they did some shooting animations and raycasting.

user92578

no but it's a legit game I think

user92578

8:51 AM

they've got the graphics, it's a zombie shooter, why not?

ah yes it can be a legit game that people actually tried and it still can be garbage

user92578

just add different maps and maybe exploding barrels and you're done

also people need to stop putting VR in the game Title. Its not the nintendo64 era people

user92578

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

user92578

FROM THE COMMENTS OF THE ZOMBIE VR

user92578

8:55 AM

THERES A SAME DUDE COMPLAINING ABOUT COMMENT DELETION

user92578

That zombie video is from 2015

user92578

The interview was really cringey

user92578

1.5K visitors

wow @Tyyppi_77 this some Illuminati type o shit :D

user92578

9:04 AM

lol looks like I've got that kids hobby figured out

Let's post comments "dev deletes comments" randomly

user92578

Exactly

user92578

I've got like 75 "broforce" ripoff comments

user92578

does it look like I actually delete comments?

user92578

indiedb.com/games/gunhero

9:14 AM

Haha

I got the most amazing feedback. It's 2 pages long

I need to go through this. He brought up some really good stuff

user92578

Nice

user92578

So the Russian commenters actually really like the game

Remember to send them a nice "спасибо", which I promise is not an insult.

user92578

"thanks"?

Make game Russian no English

#1 best seller is Russia

user92578

9:21 AM

Localization does increase piracy a lot

user92578

But yeah it would be nice (and hard) to localize the game

Localization isn't hard?

And as a small indie game, you don't really have to worry about piracy

then you should spam a bit on imdb forum

user92578

?

have you introduced yourself in the indiedb forum?

you should give visibility to your project

there are several forum sessions where you could present your game

or hardly someone will notice it

I think

user92578

9:45 AM

How am I already at 80%?

user92578

Is like majority of the games below ~500 votes?

looks like you're doing great tyyppi

user92578

I just can't believe it's because of that ._.

because of what?

The other games just lack all that sweet, sweet toxic masculinity.

9:48 AM

localization isn't hard?

you smoking crack?

yeah man, the game presents itself really well, don't be surprised

And like Mick said, the hate is traffic -- its jealousy -- its attention

175 is hexadecimal AF

user92578

@Leggy7 somehow 523 votes seem like nothing compared to the 2,5K valve is telling me is the average at the top

523 in how many hours?

user92578

About 24

interest should taper off now

user92578

yeah exactly

9:54 AM

Check again in 48 hours, assume Poisson distribution of votes, use it to estimate how long it'll take to reach 2.5k or whatever is needed for you to live a happy and fulfilled life.

@Jon localization is tedious. It's definitely not hard though

user92578

Why Poisson?

technically it is easy

poisson is a great way to estimate

@Tyyppi_77 Great and very easy to use one-parameter distribution of (almost) independents events, and often quite close to the actual distribution.

just went to coffee shop and ordered and paid for a coffee -- the girl then says "ok have a nice day" awkwardly like she was wondering why I awsn't leaving

"Ahem, are you gonna give me my coffee"

user92578

9:56 AM

lol

user92578

was she?

I ain't leaving this place till i get my wake up drugs!

I tried walking out of a Greggs without paying the other day

It was so embarrasing

I completley forgot that you have to pay

user92578

I don't want to give myself false hope, so I always look at everything really pessimistically

Hey @Jon can you do me a favour?

9:58 AM

lol you forgot you had to pay ??\

@AlanTuning depends on the flavour

Quote this "Please unblock me @Tyyppi_77 I'm so sorry for being a dick and I want to start a fresh xoxo"

lmao

@Tyyppi_77 Alan Tuning wants you to unblock him, he has something to say

user92578

Nope, he had his chance.

:c

@Tyyppi_77 If you don't reply to this that means I'm better than you in every way

And Java is the supreme language

And SDL is for nerds

user92578

Actually, he had multiple chances.

10:00 AM

He just proved you right.

mystery

LOL

LOL

user92578

@Jon What?

Woah @mystery that was spooky

he asked for forgiveness

the ranted when you said no

lol

user92578

10:00 AM

HAHA :DDDD

I wouldn't call it a rant

I'd call it a "I win"

Meh whatever... not sure what you did but seems like you annoyed

...is that fuckin Shaun?

user92578

Yeah, he did a smooth name change

oh that makes sense now

10:03 AM

Tis me

Hey dudes

At some point I'm going to switch my alt

And you'll have no idea.

And I'll slide right back in

i imagine we will figure it out

Nope

Shaun Wild is my alter ego

My real name is Dave!

you are a crazy nut

I really am.

make games then i like messed up games

10:05 AM

Game developer by day

ok thats it

So, keeping things on topic.

Does anyone have anything cool they'd like to share?

sure

May want to have an exit confirmation in main menu, so there's no risk of someone accidentally closing the game.

Not necessary, but in the world menu, maybe have the locked worlds show like a progress bar (colour/tinted button bg) along with the number of stars remaining to unlock.

Would be nice if it recognized being under-par (special phrase getting played or something). Maybe give the player an extra star?

Bugs(?) / Issues:
I got all stars in world one (Going by the stars above each level, nothing greyed out), but I only have 37/38

feedback i got from one guy

tl;dr

hahaha i know right?

10:07 AM

same shit, different name?

i have to analyze this

@Leggy7 kinda like microsoft Edge

What do you guys think of Trello?

aahha

Trello is awesome for voice comm

Actually, this guys idea is not bad. 3 stars per level seems to be a reasonable ux-decision

10:08 AM

Yeah I was mulling over that one... and he puts that in perspective

i wanted to give a star for completion -- a star for on par -- and the bonus collectible star

Voice com?

Trello is an idea board isn't it?

completion and par stars are gonna be the same on a lot of level sthough

oh trello oops, was thinking of that other thing

yeah I used Trello, its awesome

I never updated it

Have you used Jira?

But its pretty awesome if you have a manager or something

Naw never used that one

This guy is cool, really. Got some good suggestions

10:12 AM

thank you man

Yeah man

I told him that I was in love with him

and that I would be in contact with him again shortly

you're in love with who?

I have no idea what his background is

He doesn't praise anything I did -- he comes off very biased and helpful -- its the best feedback I have ever gotten

user92578

Should I post at reddit.com/r/greenlightquality?

Hell yeah why not?

its a very small subreddit

the most upvoted post of all time is 67

user92578

10:20 AM

Well yeah, I'll probably just get downvotes and hate comments but whatever, I don't care

followed by 42, 30,

so if you get 30 upvotes, you know you made it

@Tyyppi_77 You are way too pessimistic

well shit... Secrets of Grindia is the top

lol you can't compete with that damn game

which i need to buy at some point...

user92578

reddit.com/r/greenlightquality/comments/4qet03/…

Zelda clone

0/10 would buy

user92578

10:21 AM

RIPOFF REPORTED

hahaha

it looks so good though

user92578

this time on greenlight has given me a new meme to use

include link to GL campaign in your indiedb page

user92578

Oh right, yeah

user92578

Where though?

10:22 AM

summary I think

I should write a broforce comment

can't remember if there is a dedicated session for that..

user92578

Also @Leggy7 dude you are commenting everywhere <3

user92578

IndieDB let me build the page mostly by just linking the greenlight page, they fetched the images and the video

I really like ppl who pursuit their goals

10:23 AM

my goal is to kill you Leggy

you like me now?

well, suicidal missions are borderline :P

My goal is to die

user92578

thanks, link is now up there

lol

Ask your doctor about suicide

ahahah

10:26 AM

I must resist the temptation to post a comment like "super mario ripoff. will not buy"

Suicide tip for the terminally lazy: Just wait a century or two.

Dussssst in the wind.... alllll we are is dust in the wind...

user92578

haha @Jon

user92578

wtf was that comment

i winged it

I really messed up

user92578

10:28 AM

did you mean to write it like that?

I wanted to write something nice

And I didn't know what to write

user92578

That's really nice though, but confusing

WTF a spider just fell on my keyboard

I was gonna write "The logo needs wings... and possibly and eagle flexing"

user92578

you still got that?

10:30 AM

yeah

there are 3

i made them in like 5 minutes don't judge me

user92578

I'm mostly judging the awful text

user92578

That's me, right?

lmao

binding of isaac ripoff

ehhh, i don't remember

user92578

10:32 AM

RIPOFF

these were just quick mockups

user92578

REPORTED

Where I live -- I am not allowed to drive to Quebec to buy more than 24 beers

Yet, I can drive to another province and buy as much beer as I want

Reason? Quebec provincial gov doesn't handle liquor, so can't fix prices.

@Jon Your beer is like water anyways :P

So we are not legally allowed to buy liquor from Canada living in Canada.

WUT?? WUTS THAT MATE?

10:35 AM

| COUNTRY RULES |

lol, we have like some of the strongest beers here man

Americans can't handle it

i don't drink anything under 6%

don't you like weissbeer?

usually around 5%

mainly an IPA drinker now

I don't drink while driving

Awww man you are totally missing out

One time I was so drunk, I nearly killed a dozen people trying to ramp this dirt bump

Q: Blank web server response in multiple type data submission

10:39 AM

please give me some help for this

0

When I attach image resources to web service api call, its giving me blank server side response as well nothing submitted to server as well. I was using following code for this purpose: IEnumerator RegisterVoterProfile () { WWW localFile = new WWW ("file:///Users/gaminguruz/Desktop/messi....

car flipped .. literally an impossible ollie... I jump out of the car, and run around it as it is flipping in the air -- centrifugal forces were harsh

@Jon One time I was so drunk, I wrote a flashgame in 2015

Jump back in, land the damn thing and take off

ouch... i bet you regretted that in the morning

My cousin actually almost died in a crash -- he got in with a drunk idiot

car flipped in the ditch -- all 3 were ejected from the car

the driver had the car roll over top of him and he died

This is one of the things I really don't want to experience

My cousin was in the hospital for about 5 months

he got fucked hard

luckily didn't lose any limbs, but was very close

10:42 AM

I don't like rollercoasters as well

I don't like rides at all anymore

@Jon please give me some of your help

The thrill of possibly dying isn't that exilirating for me

i rather shit in the toilet than in my pants

aigh siddharth what you doing bro?

I am fine @jon

just need small suggestion from your end

looks like you are fetching the image just fine

10:45 AM

because your single suggestion can change my direction

right now I am trying to upload data in registration form

new WWW ("file:///Users/gaminguruz/Desktop/messi.jpg");

this is not upload

yes just test image for uploading task

that is a request

Almo

@Jon I still love rollercoasters, but I trust them so it's not the possibility of dying for me. But I get your point. :)

hmm hold on

10:46 AM

if I upload only image, then its uploaded successfully

Almo

when most people scream on rollercoasters, I laugh. Really hard.

yeah

if I only upload text data then it uploaded succeessfully

so Sidd.. you would probably want to use WWWForm?

but when I try with both its returning me empty data

10:47 AM

yeah WWW does not submit data

because I am sending data using POST method

if you are trying to upload here, you need to use WWWForm

@Almo dude

I start to cry

and die
