itch.io

It feels very limited in scope.

For an actual ISSUE, picking up a card can place a tile in that location, if it is an open spot, but now to my opinion:

This game could be about ANYTHING. Chemicals, random unknown energies, abstract shapes, but it is about animals.

Animals that dont interact, shapes that are just placed to give you points to get more spaces to place more shapes to buy more packs to place ...... it just loops and thats it. Eventually you loose.

This may be interesting for others, but it feels to me like a game that could be about ANYTHING, instead of "arrange tiles you put to make an ecosystem for animals", while named in a way that implies some dynamic biology happening

You do not make an ecosystem, you place shapes in spaces you place. Nothing happens beyond that, so I am left, bouncing animals on my screen.

Gave it a try and you seem to be mistaken in the main issue. I really need resolution options. A dropdown with several options and "confirm" button, with that tiny 15 second countdown that everyone seems so intent on starting while the program has yet to show anything at all and give zero time to consider if there are any issues with the resolution on the first time through.

Or an actual windowed mode with resizeable edges.

I mean, it now hits the bar of "playable" and I will give it a try now, but still.

Edit: sorry if that was harsh, having a bad day right now and when that happens, I sometimes get verbose and mean.

I just want to say I am amazed how simple and quick this worked

I was about to despair when I noticed I had just started a race THAT quickly, but within moments the controls just worked and despite preferring toggle grip, I won that first race.

Amazing.

any chance for windowed+resolution options? This is like the 3rd game in a row I wanted to try, that could not handle that I am one of like 5 people who doesnt auto-hide the task bar and just kinda leaves it right where it is.

Alt+enter and f11 and so on dont do anything. Rather frustrating.

Just gotta ask, do you have a nintendo ninja counterplan?
Like, is there a second folder of assets to drop in for when they come for you?

What is it exactly you want to build? Maybe I have some ideas for how to make it happen.

Incase it is what I think it is, to put 2 different materials into a factory, put routers # and junctions % like this:

>#%#%#%>

>%#%#%#>

with either material possibly coming from both sides simultaneously or just from one side each.

Then just lead conveyors to the factories directly from this chunk of blocks, from which the output can be put on one belt.

For more throughput, the thing can be doubled like this:

>#%#%#%

>#%#%#%

>%#%#%#

>%#%#%#

Place routers like this : 

=##=

 |

= + | are conveyors

# is a router.

If you have routers in a row like this, they mathematically throw stuff back and forth which in combo with the conveyor leading away leads to what should be close to the ratio you want. This is why routers in a big block take more time than just conveyor belts.

Its there now, with several different versions, though since I have already downloaded the steam version by now,  I am not going to download it again.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Using the itch.io launcher,  it says that this is not available for windows. From a similar conversation with another dev, I know that you may have missed some option which enables the download per the launcher. Could you look into that maybe?

I just tested it. Besides needing to redo the link using the "?rules=" section onwards, to not get an XML error, It works now.

You did not know about it? I just thought it was too small to care about...

From what I know, It always happens when copying the url from a imagegram that uses black seperator lines to distinguish between two processes. It just leaves out the first and last pixel and this obviously breaks most of them.

I always wanted to see what others did, as I myself have so far mostly modified presets (Mostly the dungeon) and want to see the true potential of this tool.

If zaratustra is okay with it, I would like to open this topic for submissions of full imagegram links, paired with a description.

Here are two of mine and a template of sorts:

• Title: The worm builds the dungeon
• Description: Deriviative of the dungeon1 preset, where the rooms are not generated at start, but instead by a small white-yellow worm thing. Takes a long while to become substantial.
• Link: Worm
• Needs Black Line Fix?: No

____________________

• Title: MetroidVania Inspirator
• Description: A Dungeon2 Deriviative, which roughly darkens much of the generated dungeon and then deletes everything else, leaving a husk that immediately stood out to me as something that could be a map of Dracula's castle.
• Link: Castle
• Needs Black Line Fix?: Yes

____________________

The Black Line Fix is a hint that it contains seperators, which get slightly broken when sharing a link, meaning the lines need to be completed manually, before the result is as expected.

It is possible to get the basic unity options for resolution and all by starting it while pressing the shift key.

Is this using the 3d variant of WFC or are you plopping down blocks on a 2d "plane"?

Because This may be the technology needed to truly recreate Blame! in a game.
