Not sure, most of the changes aren’t very deep, making zones will change, but if this is done correctly you can make this mostly invisible.
The city hub needs some love, most of people ignores the current cities, and combining them could have some positive effect.
Combat is mostly an afterthought, so having a better combat would also benefit. In the post I was going to extremes, but there is always a middle ground that keep the “DNA” of the game and improves its mechanics.
Unless you are a super purist, in this case no words will ever change your heart.
One of my annoyances (if I can murder the language), is the fact that it was released a version 1.0 with dozens of issues. Quality of life is fine, but the lack of a vast majority of details kind of breaks the game. This isn't a 1.0 final product release, it was a Alpha 2.0 release.
Strange, I used to have similar type of VPN, changed because I needed something a little bit more secure for my line of work (some software shite). But in theory should be open.
A fair bunch of then to be honest. Familiar with the issue.
Atelier solved this problem, but back then were jus the "dot sounds" (but it could be my memory playing tricks on me, let me double check on youtube.. .yeah the PS3 games already had voices). The Trails series uses the famous dot (also on PS3), and it work fine, a few camera angles and some "dot" sounds and you have already a pretty good cutscene. Better than just silence. Fire Emblem from the DS (or 3DS I may be wrong) had voiced for most of the game too, with the same simple camera angles and voices.
You can also say that I've ommited dozens of games that have no voice, and that's fine. What I'm saying is, dont need to be silent and no cameras. You can use the ideas that I suggested on the post, grab something from other titles, the dot sound is basic, simple and you can already give some personality, some will have a stronger deeper "dot" sound, while other will have a light pitch dot.
And yet this isn't a full problem. But when you have the quests as part of the game, I kind of expected a little bit more than the Pal Critic. These are very... boring, and have a simple fix. Allow the user to select a pal from the box.
The general loop is good, but the levelling is somewhat extreme, I've ignore some of the techs because I knew that in the next 5 min I would have unlocked the next tier. So it feels somewhat off.
Ohhh shoot... I do use a very strict VPN and I can access. Would you mind sharing which VPN are you using, maybe it's something that I've done wrong.
Just as a double-check I validated in a DNS checker, all the countries are enabled. I do have a heavy anti-bot measures on the page, with a lot of traps, if you ask a bot to crawl the page it will suffer.
Again, sorry for the trouble, and let me know the info so I can validate the VPN and check the access.
Like the other already added, you can tweak the value, but if you add your bases in "easier" island the raids gets easier to handle. Additionally, if you circle your base with walls without any doors the raids are completed ignored. The merchants too.
Just for me to understand, you agreed with the remaining parts of the post, was just the voice an issue?
Just go play arceus.[...]
Still, fair point, and I probably should make another run in Arceus.
[...] I stopped reading after they complained about not having voice acting for the dialog.
But the lack of voice acting is pretty bad, this with the fade to black cutscenes feels incomplete, almost like an "alpha/beta" instead of a finished product (the promise of the 1.0 release)
If you could elaborate more on the "nitpicky" part, if this is a critic post, it should elaborate on the problems when playing. Most of the game is fun, engaging, and I've my own private server for my friends for the last months for a reason.
Since I've enough knowledge on the gamedev, I think it's worth it to discuss the not fully baked on the project.
It's 4k words, it's a critic with a good humor on it. But if you want a quick meme, sorry for the post. This is deeply related to program, and it's a humorous post with a critic.
But looks like I'm off the target audience, which is on me for sure. But you can't project your own lack of reading on the post.
edit,
Did you read the post in this community before going to the post? Did you read the post? Looks like you may be missing, so I may have been a little too harsh in my assumption, in this case, I'm sorry.
The issue of content manipulation on non-Western platforms, such as TikTok—the international version of the Chinese platform Douyin, launched by ByteDance in 2017—is particularly important for understanding the influence of authoritarian regimes on online discourse in democratic societies such as Poland, where freedom of expression is constitutionally guaranteed and protected by law
Not sure if this is a good argument. Will read the report thought. But this phrase alone already looks bias as fuck.
You got me curious, no voice in your own mind? When you think about the text you are writing, there is no voice speaking the words? They just are typed?
The tech bros, or how I like to call the Theos online have a very misguided view, they have a specific interest, and a specific point. Usually to sell something.
From the last almost 15 years in the work I can say that maybe 10% of the products would ever need the JS framework of the day, mostly could be just a static page with some island of interactivity and some over the wire server render.
Things that we learned in 2000s with Ruby on Rails, and yet we reinvented the wheel.
So, it's just sad to see the that current stat is yet broken, the tooling isn't there, and worse, with AI we will have even more on this bad average.
Most news isnt static. Its an app and its a link embedded in an app. Blogs are not popular or relevant so idk why we are even talking about them. Substack has most of the market and its not a static site.
What? Do you have any data to support that? Because I do, "blog", or any "news" page have way more traffic that you think about it, ask Cloudflare. And they are (the good ones) mostly static. So review you own concepts. Because you are wrong.
Ecommerce could not be static without major regressions to usablity.
Ask Amazon, most of their pages are static. They have island of interactivity, but the page for the product is static. So I think you have no idea what you are talking about.
I do live in a place with fast internet but we are talking about future and I think its stupid to build a future web for people who have slow internet when all the trends point to increasing internet speeds and connection around the world. I’m sure Africa doesnt want to finally get online and see everything be a static site.
You can run discord off a mobile data connection, when Africa builds out their Internet infra they will prefer services like discord over low bandwidth stripped down barebones services.
Man this is racist.
I can't even talk on this topic, and I'm disgusted by your view. You have no idea what you are talking about.
the future web doesnt need to care about a 1mb page or a 10mb page. It only matters what you can do. Static site can do very little. You can’t have Lemmy as static site and Lemmy is an example of what I think future web could be. Open, interconnected, full of features and QoL. Lemmy gives you the things reddit tries to sell you.
Again you are wrong. And from the level of arguments provided, there is very little we can discuss.
Ps.: The world don't care about the future, just check the price of RAM and we can talk about performance and use less and do more.
You are so wrong in this assumption. You barely touched the tip of the iceberg behind the small web movement.
Most of the static sites dont even need to be websites.
Are you suggesting that we shouldn't have a page? That my blog isn't important enough to exist?
The baker does not need a website.
What is the baker want's to have a footprint online, maybe adding his working schedule? Maybe adding some historical information about the bakery? Or even information for requesting a special bakery? Isn't this important?
Good website or bad website makes little to no difference. Its fine if they want to have a single static page with some info and a contact email im not saying they need anything good. But if every site was like that the internet would be worse than it is today.
Not sure if I follow this, but prefer the things stays the way they are. With pages using 10mb of frameworks without any need, with pages that loads a "loader" to load the page? Because this is the reason why the internet is ugly and broken.
If this is the case, I not only disagree with you, but I think you should experience the web, look for local pages and see how good or bad they can be.
Game design is fun!
To the point that I kind of live making GDD for games that I'll never make.
But it's also fun to make something from ground up, making music, making graphics, making everything.
Not sure, most of the changes aren’t very deep, making zones will change, but if this is done correctly you can make this mostly invisible.
The city hub needs some love, most of people ignores the current cities, and combining them could have some positive effect.
Combat is mostly an afterthought, so having a better combat would also benefit. In the post I was going to extremes, but there is always a middle ground that keep the “DNA” of the game and improves its mechanics.

No, this is a bandaid in a broken bone, kind of solve the problem if you ignore the damage.
Strange, I used to have similar type of VPN, changed because I needed something a little bit more secure for my line of work (some software shite). But in theory should be open.
Glad that worked in the end.
A fair bunch of then to be honest. Familiar with the issue.

The schematics needs some love too. But I was already in the 4k words blogpost, and adding more on this would make the post waaaaay too long.
This is one of my critics. (Pun not inteded)
And with a simple fix. Allow the box.
And yet this isn't a full problem. But when you have the quests as part of the game, I kind of expected a little bit more than the Pal Critic. These are very... boring, and have a simple fix. Allow the user to select a pal from the box.

What wasn't funny? The idea? The critic? The message? What was the issue?
Not sure if this is a good argument. Will read the report thought. But this phrase alone already looks bias as fuck.
You got me curious, no voice in your own mind? When you think about the text you are writing, there is no voice speaking the words? They just are typed?
how does it work?
