  • I don't understand why you need lerp here. The object will stay in the same position on the screen, but on a different layer. Maybe you forgot to add "Move to layer" action?

  • I am also repeating myself, but there are more than 10 things that are important for me. And I don't know how is it possible to prioritize them, especially when some ideas are tiny like a tooltip showing tile ID under mouse cursor, and others are huge like scene graph. It's like choosing between a hamster and a helicopter. Of course I'd vote for the helicopter, as many other people would. But this means I will never get the hamster :(

    You can post whatever you want on the new suggestions platform.

    This is good to know, thanks!

  • I think oosyrag suggested you use seeded random in another post. I would probably try that - instead of generating and storing the whole terrain, only generate a small part of it on demand. You can always re-generate any chunk from the seed.

    Of course, if players can modify the terrain, you will have to store the modifications and restore them.

  • Seems like it's a simple 1-d array, it would be easier to edit the header a little bit and load it into the array.

  • Can you post the JSON file? It's difficult to answer your question not knowing the JSON structure.

  • An occasional reset event, maybe between every couple of stable releases wouldn't be a bad thing. It would have a similar effect to what this thread did actually

    Let's hope so.

    I still would like to know if we are allowed to repost old ideas after reset? Or will they be automatically declined as duplicates?

  • Anyway, thanks for hearing us out and giving attention to the issue.

    I'm not sure we were heard.. I understand that Ashley is a very busy man and he simply doesn't have time to go though all our suggestions. But I don't think limiting the number of ideas and votes is a solution. It's a shame that we are in this situation where he's the only person in Scirra who can do it.

    I wish they treated the suggestions platform as a valuable resource with users feedback, that can help their software to grow. Currently it feels like it's nothing but a nuisance to them.

  • You will make it even harder for us to vote, yay.

    But any change is better than nothing, I guess.

    Should we start reposting old ideas which we care about on the new platform? Or will it be for new ideas only?

    And also - will you work on any of the existing ideas during these 6 months?

  • You can try something like this:

  • justifun If the data in zip is corrupted, then nothing will help.

  • Yeah, it's a confusing error message, but in this case it means some issue with the seller's account. There are a few posts on itch.io forums confirming this.

  • Also I wish there was some way we could encourage people to vote on small and quick ideas first, since it would be much easier to get those done and more rewarding for people to see their votes turn in to action.

    Yes!!! It's exactly what I have been trying to tell in all my previous comments! As someone who works 8+ hours in C3 every day, I'm all for small improvements that will make my life easier. People will see more ideas implemented, everyone will be happy! I'll reiterate:

    • Keep the "Minor suggestions" category, or create a similar one.
    • Give people more votes so that they have spare votes for minor suggestions, not just for "big and flashy" ideas. (Or, if the platform allows this, allocate certain number of votes for each category)
    • Periodically review N top suggestions from this category, pick among them the ones you definitely know are easy and implement them. If any suggestion appears to be not so minor, you can always move it to another category and let people decide with votes if they want it or not.
