Prioritize Polish Over Content 

Eks Dee

prawda :)

thought it said that in the title too.

nice

I was content until now, but here on, I prioritize a polish over content

2013

I think i would have to agree with you.

me too

It’s been a while since I made that video, but iirc, I was making that point with dwarf fortress (polish can be mechanical).

That 6:09 Fez 3d transition on a 2d game just melt my brain. HTF the dev made that???

rip

NNOOOO

Yes, but I plan on keeping them on areas well within my knowledge.

And I think Catala/Catalonyan is also lacking in many games.

Are you asking about making pixels with rects? If so, don’t lol.

@@DaFluffyPotato Im using simple tile design: tiles are black im blitting them. But drawing 16x16 pixel black rects didnt make aby difference.

I don’t know what you’re doing, but the difference between drawing a rect and an image should be small.

its quite simple: make a sprite and set its pos to the mouse x and y pos and hide the mouse

Maybe overcompensate by thinking about it more. Do a checklist of things that are objectively bad like the same sound bite playing too often, or distracting sounds; as for music either get some free music or collab with / commission someone.

You could still see the bullet coming when you shoot. A lot of VFX hurt readability. It's fairly common for a lot of games, but in the end it's just a form of added difficulty. It's not a huge deal if VFX hurt visibility as long as the added difficulty doesn't come in a frustrating form. Realistically speaking, there are plenty of things in real life that get harder due to reduced visibility. In the case you mentioned, it's the responsibility of the player to not handicap themselves by attempting to shoot in a tight spot (which is a situation that would be considered reasonable in an FPS). There are definitely people that prefer clarity though, so if it's a single player game, accessibility/graphics options that reduce VFX could be useful for a lot of players.

Have a black background sprite and erase the center. After that just make it slowly get smaller.

Draw a circle on black surface, color it with a color c other than Black, Surface.set_colorkey(c) Keep reducing/increasing radius of the circle

Rotate

It depends on the way pygame.draw and pygame.display is used in the display part of the program, if you can share your code, majorly done mistakes can be found, also Stack Overflow would be so great to use actually. Btw what do you exactly mean by few,? Also I remember, at one point I realised that a lag was there bcos I was rendering the entire map :P so then I made sure not to render anything outside of screen.

And yeah I am also sure that DaFlufflyPotato uses simple Python and Pygame and nothing else

A few of those games aren’t mine (the ones with the title listed for the first appearance). The list of my games can be found here: dafluffypotato.com/projects

That first screenshot is from my first decent scale game from back in 2013.

DaFluffyPotato was it in pygame?

Yes

Iam talking about this 0:35

@@Mayank-hm7cc it says what it is on the bottom left that it's Hyper Light Drifter and I did not make that. All of the ones that were named in the bottom left were not things I made.

Search up socket library

Socket library? I didn't hear that before

@@coconaatti2878 it is the lowest level internet connection interface for us. It isn't just a python library, it is a general concept.

Sockets is the best way in my opinion to do networking in python, you can find some tutorials by Sendex and it shouldn't be too difficult to integrate that with pygame

I should try it
