Alongside the Buddy Bot, Frost Giant's implementing game modes to appeal to players who are interested in RTS gameplay, but might not seek out the intensity of 1-on-1 competitive RTS matches. In addition to a story campaign that can be played with three players, Stormgate will have a separate 3-vs-AI mode, custom games, and a competitive 3-vs-3 mode where each team has to defend a single, large base structure.

As the typical RTS enjoyer who only plays singleplayer, this type of paragraphs make me less and less interested in this game.

This is unfortunately typical of visual novels. The line level sentence-to-sentence prose is rarely even adequate, and often what they choose to describe is already shown as an image on the screen. The best ones, I feel, simply omit the prose and have only dialogue, and if they choose to describe an already-visible image, the description ought to tell what isn't already available as visual information.

Thank you for your informative comment. I know I'm almost a month late, but I'm about to start my vacation and needed a nice city building game to try.

Thanks, forwarded this post-mortem to my current meta question.

reported to meta. It looks like this is not the first time this kind of issues happen with between instances https://sopuli.xyz/post/9076347?scrollToComments=true

 

Huomasin, että artshare-yhteisön viestit olivat vähentyneet valtavasti. Kysäisin asiasta, ja näyttäisi siltä, että sopuli ei saa lemmy.worldista viestejä laisinkaan tai niissä on viivettä.

Tässä esimerkki: https://lemmy.world/post/14776968?scrollToComments=true

vs

https://sopuli.xyz/post/12019913?scrollToComments=true

Mistähän johtuisi?

I noticed that for a week or so now the community has been much smaller tham it used to be. I'm seeing an almost 90% decrease in posts, comments, and votes. Did something get defederated or did a big community go down? Lemmy stats show that Lemmy average user count is still about the same.

Good work! Perspective is one of those things that is pretty mechanical, and one can avoid learning it for a long time by using crutches. It's always faster to work when one has internalized perspective and especially foreshortening so it comes automatically.

Excellent use of shape and light!

Losing vision as an artist has to be one of the most difficult experiences ever. So glad you share your art. Do you have more art available somewhere?

Finland also isn't in Scandinavia.

From distance, I thought I'd see an ultra-detailed sketch, but this is conveyed by nothing but the directional lines suggesting of detail. Minimalism at best.

I see you continue to prefer orange and yellow colors. Do you have to order markers in bulk by now?

Jos yrittää postata uuden topicin ainakin meta-osastoon, niin kieltä ei voi valita. Selaimen network-tabilta tulee oheinen virhe:

{"error":"language_not_allowed"}

tälle requestille:

https://sopuli.xyz/api/v3/post
payload: {"name":"Kielivalinta ei toimi","community_id":4,"body":"asdasdsadsads","language_id":44}

vaikuttaisi tapahtuvan sekä suomelle että englannille. Jos kieltä ei valitse, postaus onnistuu.

 

Mahtaisiko täältä löytyä vinkkejä siihen miten saisin oman taideportfolioni linkit toimimaan niin, että kuvien esikatselu toimisi aina?

Tästä linkistä muodostui preview: https://sopuli.xyz/post/9123511

Tästä ei: https://sopuli.xyz/post/10080062

Molemmissa käytetään og:image -metatagia.

Jälkimmäisessä oli alunperin jpegin tiedoissa orientaationa top-right, jonka myöhemmin korjasin top-left. Pohdin olisiko tuosta kiinni ja korjautuisiko preview jos jokin lemmyn cache nollautuisi tuolle linkille.
