attempting to post the new release got me banned. i somehow knew this was going to happen. from now on, future builds of casual fluffies will only be released on this blog. i still have another way of accessing the site, and the ban will only last a few weeks, but i feel like this was just a warning, and i'm not going to risk being locked out of the website entirely, because i like fluffy-related content.
for those of you who haven't gotten a mod's shit flipped on them, i'd really appreciate attempts to get an explanation for what's happening and what's so awful about my game, and maybe a little help in spreading the word regarding this game's existence, but for the love of fuck, please go easy on the booru. spamming people with meaningless links to my game and screaming about bans is only going to make the mods hate me even more. a screenshot every now and then will be more than enough.
I've got no idea. Maybe they're jumpy about anons putting download links on the site and have a 0 tolerance policy about it.
ReplyDeleteTry putting the game up under an account next time. If the ban happens again, you'll at least have access to the discord to ask the mods what's up (takes 2 months after sign up).
Same Anon. If it makes you feel better, I'm having fun with what you've got so far.
DeleteMy main suggestions would be, in order of importance:
Sound Options - Some people like to turn down or mute a game's music to listen to podcasts and stuff.
Status bars - See how much health a fluffy has left, how hungry they are, and if a fluffy is pregnant or not. Trying to keep fluffies segregated has ended in a lot of dead from putting them down too harshly.
Cannibalism. To have the corpses be more than decoration, and because it'd be amusing.
thanks! i'll think about that while i'm working on the new build.
DeletePerhaps when you're next able to post, use a screenshot of the game screen with fluffies in view?
ReplyDeleteThe previous text posts didn't really fit the 'Fluffy' requirement, as far as I could tell...
while i was on the booru, i posted two sneak peek-type gifs of gameplay. one got deleted, and i'm pretty sure the other was never approved in the first place, so that's not it.
DeleteFirst anon here, decided to give myself a name.
ReplyDeleteI think I've run into a bug. When my fluffies run into walls, they seem to get "stuck" in the running animation. They'll lay down, then keep trying to run in the blocked direction, entirely ignoring the food next to them.
For a while I thought they managed to break their necks on the walls because they never said they were hungry, then I started replicating it with only one fluffy and they never touched to food unless I dragged them a few times to get out of the loop.
do you have food on the other side of the wall? right now, fluffies can see through walls, and they'll try to get to the closest food bowl when hungry, regardless of whether it's possible for them to actually reach it. if your fluffies are separated into multiple rooms and they perceive food in another room to be closer than what's in their room, they'll get stuck trying to reach it until either a more reasonable option gets closer to them or they starve to death. it can also happen if you put food too close to walls. it's all severely bullshit, but it'll be fixed in the next release.
DeleteThat's what I was expecting, but wanted to be sure.
DeleteThe food on their own side of the wall is actually closer than the one they're headed to. There might be another pathing issue involved, here's one that starved on top of her food

It's as funny as it is a shame, was going to do a lil experiment.
okay, i know exactly what happened there. it'll be explained in my next post and fixed in v0.3, but in v0.2, fluffies can't eat food if they're already touching it when they start trying to reach it. that fluffy was trying to eat the food that was in the cage thing with it, but couldn't because of how bullshit the ai is.
