    Whipped up a working version in-game. I think it makes sense. Not sure if this is easy enough for the first time tutorial. In general, I want this to be a lot easier than the example from before.
    Saw this puzzle on reddit. I don't think I've seen this kind of logic puzzle before... I really like it. And it would be easy to make in RPG Maker! This example is probably too hard for a mini-game, but it would be easy to tone down. Question: does the puzzle make sense? I think it might have conveyance issues.

    I believe the oldest version I can recall actually playing was Mastermind. Wiki

    I too remember playing this in some game or other, but it wasn't the one mentioned by Sword_of_Dusk, which I've never played.

    It's based on mastermind. I managed to adapt this game essence for my game Alchemistress Vivi.
    I copy-pasted some javascript and slightly changed it and it works! I am a.... MASTER CODER now. B)

    Joking, of course. But it feels good to fix an issue that's been in the game a year.

    Great job! Identifying where the issue was is like 90% of the work.

    People starts downloading wootbm's game only to find the first bug after a few seconds of playtesting it...

    Yeah, that kind of stuff truly happens.

    Heh, well this particular bug is not reachable in the current demo. Which is why I pushed it off. But yeah. There's always bugs.
    I was looking in the wrong place for traffic data on Steam. So my comparison to itchio is now incredibly one-sided:

    Sorry, that was "lifetime" stats (5 years ago from then to now). Here's the first week:

    Yeah, honestly, I had never been to itch.io until after I joined this forum. But I have known about Steam for a long time. My kids used it for years before I finally decided to check it out too. The traffic for Steam doesn’t surprise me.
    Finally got around to customizing the ol' itchio page. Derp. Probably should have done that sooner but I was too worried about everything else I didn't even look at the theme buttons.
    Now I just need to add a gameplay video and I can be a real boy...

    Aw, thanks! I'd be honored to hear more of what you think of it; you're one of the more interesting RM dev's out there for sure <3

    Oh, thank you, sweetie!:kaoluv: Imma take a look at yo game eventually, I think! Just at the moment I'm a li'l swamped with things... again... but in the meantime, you develop your game so I can have more to say about it when the time comes, ok? :biggrin:
    For a second there I thought my "Is Itch.io worthless?" video was going to be one of my most viewed videos (it is the most viewed "dev log"). People love to hate on itch.io, maybe?

    Do people hate on it? I thought it was a quirky but fairly well-regarded service with a slight reputation toward cool DIY-ism as well as some minor quality issues.

    I like Itch but I'm also aware that it's not the best place to sell games. Even with the price to put it on steam, you'd prolly make more in the long run. If its a decent product ofc.

    I like itch for free games (and paid resources) and I like as a dev that it has a "pay-what-you-want" option. Steam is much better for commercial games though.
    Was trying to look at click-through rate data on Steam to compare it to itch.io. I discovered Oni Sellsword has (already?) 429% more claims this year than last? Not complaining... but WHY:

    Do you believe in Alexa bots and the like? :p
    woootbm
    woootbm
    Definitely could be a bot issue since the game is free. There's a F2P game I play that has had a huge uptick in players inexplicably this year as well (although some resurgence may be warranted due to people quitting a bigger game that is similar).

    Clearly that's all thanks to the popularity of my stream. All in a days work. Yeup.
    Ah, whoops. Just realized I forgot to add a tutorial to explain that reloading doesn't cost a turn (it just moves you to the end of the turn order). Not critical, but that's the first item to add for a potential patch, heh.
    Thread is waiting approval, but my demo is here!

    Omori video got a dislike. C'mon! Leave an angry comment! I dare ya XD

    I’ve seen dislikes disappear sometimes, but not always. Unless these older videos coincidentally have the same number of dislikes as last time I checked from new dislikes, heh.
    TheAM-Dol
    TheAM-Dol
    @woootbm yeah, the plugin is called "Return Youtube Dislikes". It basically gets its data from the other people using the plugin as well as some algorithm stuff to make a guess, so in a sense, it's a "publicly funded" dislike bar, so the dislikes are not truly accurate, but at least gives you an estimate. I use the plugin.
    Got my first bot comment on my YT channel (I'm assuming). I'm big time now!

    Seriously though those bots are freaking everywhere online now and it's super annoying
    TheAM-Dol
    TheAM-Dol
    Those bots are the reason my comments are locked down with a bunch of words and emoji being filtered. If you go to channel settings you can set "banned words" which will automatically filter any comments to your spam if they contain those words.

    As the prophecy foretold, the Tale of Treasonous Tom dev is arguing with me that he's not a racist. I love it.

    @wootbm Oh dear God this reminds me of how pissed off I was when I found out "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams was a racist....you've brought back my feelings of anger toward him again! Anyway.....

    Seriously though the fact he's being so defensive probably means he is; why else would someone try so hard to defend themselves unless they had something to hide? It's suspicious, all right.
    woootbm
    woootbm
    @SpyroFan67 Definitely gives me a "I'm not racist, BUT..." vibes. But yeah, this guy might have some really bad takes like Scott Adams somewhere in here, hidden under all the tasteless jokes.
    SpyroFan67
    SpyroFan67
    Yeah I'm white but I'm not bigoted, and I can't stand it when I see other people being that way. It pisses me off. Racism towards African Americans I especially don't like because they've already had to overcome so much. I also have an Asian-American cousin so when I see anti-Asian hate it makes me really mad too.
    I just want my YouTube Shorts to get a billion views and likes, is that too much to ask? ^_^;;

    @woootbm I didn't get the notification from the previous comment.
    still, doesn't answer the question: the fact that tiktok 'makes a lot of money' is irrelevant.
    you can make a lot of money by scamming, which has nothing to do with tiktok or youtube.
    my question is, how does [youtube's trade of advertisement] apply to [shorts] which don't use it?
    woootbm
    woootbm
    @gstv87 It might just be they're operating at a loss to gain a foothold. Or maybe Shorts drive interaction with real videos to get ads out there. Not sure. But it makes no sense to let some competitor within the same field come in and dominate you like Blockbuster did.
    At any rate, I'm not some business major or something so I don't have the answers here.
    The YouTube Shorts gods are cruel today =(
    gstv87
    gstv87
    what's the deal with the shorts? there must be a gain for youtube if they're pushing them so hard.
    I mean, I adblock everything, so on top of not getting revenue from videos, now they're deprecating videos in favor of shorts?
    woootbm
    woootbm
    TikTok makes a lot of money so they're copying TikTok.

    @gstv97 LOL I adblock everything too. It's nice to watch YouTube videos without annoying ads interrupting them.

    Ah man, I just went to my comment history on my Google account and the comment is not even there. Dude wtf...I wrote a lot of good stuff not included on your forum post but hell if I remember what I wrote now...Well, I'll at least leave some sort of comment just for that algoboost. I'll try to recall some of the stuff I had wrote.

    youtube has been on crack for the past five years at least.
    my guess is that anything that *sounds* potentially aggressive (by decree of youtube's spearheading dingus technology) is outright removed regardless of point or context merely for containing certain words in certain arrangements, and whatever remains, is also removed if at all disliked by the community.

    a workaround to this problem, is whenever you fear you're posting something controversial, hold that mouse click, go into charmap, find the cyrilic section, and replace the latin characters for their cyrilic similars.
    it won't pass a human rating, but will definitely fool the AI.
    I consider this the heavy artillery, so, use sparingly.
    Did another YouTube short. This one has like 1k views (or maybe 380? Analytics is being weird). Getting them zoomer views, yo!

    Haha, no @TheAM-Dol I edited our review down to a 40 second speed run. I guess people like it a little?
    I am farming fresh subs little by little with this, so it's doing something.

    I don't know man, without family guy and subway surfers I don't think the zoomers are going to be able to stay focused on a 40 second video, that's quite a long time for them. /joking
    I've always wondered how well shorts viewers transfer into main content viewers :LZSskeptic: would be interested to know more after you have done more shorts and main videos to compare.
    This nw.js profile error is the stupidest crap ever. What a way to waste hours of dev time trying to fix something that isn't even technically fixable by me.

    Yeah, and it seems like there's a lot of trial and error figuring out what versions of stuff to pair with what plugins you have. I just updated to the latest at first and it caused my menus to lag like crazy on parallax map levels. Agh!

    But yeah, if I update it that will mean my potential players will get the error when they play another RM game with a lower version. So my game effectively spreads the curse. GREAT.

    Don't use higher than 0.48.4, unless you have a good reason to.

I wish I could hold interest in anything long enough to master it.
so, for like the entire duration of me working on my game, I've wanted to see how possible it is to make SOME kind of turn based team fighting game and if I can pull off what's in my notes, I think I'll be satisfied.
