Ooh if you love rhythm games you'll definitely be able to play through it I reckon. Hard mode is pretty tough, but I added Less Hard which has fewer notes and wider note trigger zones. And if you ever get stuck, you can switch on Nigel Mode which plays the level for you.

Haha thanks so much! Ive been working on it on the side, but also most weekends for about 8 hours a day (no kids helps!). I worked night shift at the sleep lab for 5 years, and when the patients were snoozin' I'd just start working on it. When I went back to day shifts and actually had to do my job, progress slowed a bit, but then it just ended up gobbling ALL weekends.
If it's a randomly selected Windows User, I'll take Linux and bank on the windows user being like, a 60 year old boomer with internet explorer 6.0. The "average* Linux user would wipe the floor with me.
Not yet, but it works with switch controls on PC one reviewer said?
If it does well, I think Unity lets me port to Switch fairly easily...
Bless you man, I appreciate it! If you like it, someone told me that once a steam game gets past 10 reviews, it gets better presence? If you get the time, hide a Lemmy reference in there so I know it's you 🤝
How did you pick up coding? There was some free old book online by a guy who called "=" a "gozinta", but I can't find it anymore... I read that through, used a few Udemy courses, Brackeys, CodeMonkey the Unity Discord forums. Getting the basics down was easy, anything else was well tough.
What was challenging? A few years into development, and Everhood came out. On first glance it looked just like Game Over, and I got pretty bummed out, like someone had beaten me to the chase. But when I actually played Everhood I saw it was a fairly different game (everhood you're not playing to the rhythm), but it was a rough bit of time prior to getting to play and Everhood and learn that!
Were you stumped by any major development issues? Oh my god the timing of the notes down the note lane. I swear I rewrote that code 10 times from scratch. Making sure they're set to the audioSource.time property, but also accounting for pause behaviour, accounting for generating notes PRIOR to the music starting (and therefore audioSource.time = 0), making sure it doesn't waver out of sync etc etc. But everytime I reworked it, it felt more robust, so it helped with confidence.
I wonder if every developer feels as though their code is held together with tape, glue, and good thoughts...
Vote greens??
I mean, I agree wholeheartedly with everything. I'm putting greens 1 absolutely, but labour is obviously above the libs. My point, while labour is shit house, as far as centre left politics go, they're making gains towards net zero, unlike the libs who vote against both 2035 and 2050.
But just as an aside, are you vegan?
I'm pretty sure the current labour government took us from 28% renewables to 48%, with projections of mid 80s by 2030.
Current gas use was earmarked by the Liberal government in the mid 2010s, with locked in prices that caused gas to be sold at next to nothing until 2030-35. Expansion of gas in the interim was deemed necessary to stop the gas industry from imploding due to poor Liberal deal making.
Oh did everyone know that election funding is given ONLY to whoever you pick as first? Even when your vote trickles down to whoever wins, that $3-5(or so?) is only provided to your first choice?
I'll still be putting the Animal Justice Party number 1, but it's good to know.
Make hay, this year's harvest festival will be bountiful with the largest strawman we've ever seen!
Don't buy an electric car. Bike to work. Take the train. Don't eat animals products, they're destroying the planet. Use a Fair phone, buy second hand, install solar.
Us lefties are weak, dependant on creature comforts. Cheap plastic clothing, $3 beef burgers, voting for cheap petrol at the pump.
Your initial conceit of not affording consumers blame is a big driver of that weakness. Consumers wasting food IS a problem. Consumers buying food from big food wasters is a problem. But if you aren't living clean green, how can you hold some lady running a business to any account?
Inb4: "it's all too hard, everyone is too busy to be that ethical, capitalism has locked me into being a bad person". Be better, be ethical.
Ahhhh thanks so much, I'd love to know what you think!
