Re: Game Design - Incremental Games

Well this thread has all the potential to get me stuck in more of these :D I recently picked up cookie clicker again since they announced version 2. Not too much different from version 1 except they have prestige and heavenly chips on reset. Prestige is for adding %clicks/sec on next reset. Heavenly...

and I think the chances that it is architected in a way that will facilitate MP is just about zero. Right from the start he has had this intended for a 4 player co-op. The only reason he released it as a SP game was because he was about a year behind his personal milestone of having the SP game pol...

Re: Windows 10

Sure, but I was talking about games that explicitly support or require it. DX11 doesn't suddenly stop working because you're on Windows 10 And I was explaining why you wont see many games for a while because a lot of optimizations in DX12 work on a game which was designed for DX11. For example the ...

Re: Windows 10

Im currently running windows 8.1 I found Windows 10 to be much better than windows 8, Although my preference is still windows 7. So far yet I am yet to have a bad experience with Win 10. there's no games that have been announced to require DirectX 12 AFAIK A lot of the DX12 optimizations work with ...

I could play however I promised my mate those years ago that our first play would be multiplayer together, and since it was released early before multiplayer got wrapped up I gotta be patient and wait :(

How we dealt with it at the time was to cheat, basically; we used tp to overcome hardcore spawn. It just didn't fit with our desire to play together I understand what you mean but the problem with that is that it will ultimately harm your overall play experience. I was pretty gutted when our coop g...

Swamp Mobtrap - Item Sorting

I have started filtering the drops from a swamp mobfarm however with the additional drops provided in a swamp I am unable to filter out some of the items that I wanted to set up some automated processing for.

Specifically Bone from Shafts and Glass Bottles from Rotten Flesh

Anyone have any tips?

I have iron armor dropped by a zombie and could make most of the diamond armor but I don't make or wear them for fear of losing it by death. Honestly I wouldn't worry about this so much. Enchanted diamond armour makes you a tank. Before Improved Gloom I used to roam around exploring in the dark wit...

Re: [spoilers] Mushroom farm designs

No 2x2 spawn places or spiders can spawn AFAIK that's not how spider spawning works. they spawn on individual blocks like any mob but check to see if the surrounding blocks are clear in a 3x3 area, so that design will spawn spiders. My old design should still work for mushrooms: http://i.imgur.com/...

Re: Ark

Well they are working on getting it DX12 ready which will help those who have access to it.
The optimisation done in DX12 basically allows ~10x objects for the same memory costs which is really fantastic for those on dated systems.

Re: Stake and Hearty Stew

We made our chicken farm too good, so when going exploring I tend to only bring cooked eggs and a flame sword.
As I go along I stab pigs for cooked pork and make ham and eggs as I need it.

I haven't gotten around to making anything aesthetic with stakes yet.
