Because of the multiplier it's good strategy to focus on locked tiles when your opponent is readying a big attack

How many locked tiles were unlocked with this move

excerpt from the function that handles clearing matched blocks:
if (matchCount != 0 && fighter != nullptr) {
	be->PlaySound("clear", audioPan);
	if (fighter->opponent->charges >= 2) {
		unlockedTotal *= 2;
	}
	fighter->AddCharge((pow((matchCount),1.25) / 4.0) + (float(unlockedTotal) / 1.25) + float(combo/2.0));
	combo += 1;
	comboResetQueued = -1;
}

I can send you the damage formula if you want but I will warn that it is absolutely disgusting to look at and is entirely the result of me throwing numbers into a function until things seemed """balanced"""

Tysm for the review! I agree with pretty much all the criticism here. I tried to make something that could be played by both doing small combos fast or big combos slow, but as you could tell it ended up just being a weird middle ground.

saw a slapfight on reddit that made me wonder: disregarding whether or not it would be a good idea financially for valve, what do you think the reaction would be if they decided to raise the steam direct fee to $1000, but only took a 25% cut?

Crowd Control worked perfectly as a Game Changer episode because nobody knew what it was, but now that we are on the second season of the show people are just constantly trying to one-up the comedians and it sucks (this happened in the first season too, but not quite as much)

anyways: you're running a game jam with a huge number of signups i think you've already gone big

Very true! Sometimes it's just not worth going big. But I also know I will kick myself if I don't in this case lol

Trying to find a parody video that I am unsure if I just made up in my head: Footage of people doing things while smiling, happy guitar music plays. The narrator just repeats "Are you suffering from memory loss? Are you suffering from memory loss? Are you suffering from memory loss?" over and over

#FallingBlockJam day 8: what's the point of a game jam if you don't spend an entire day adding something entirely unneccesary, like a fake bootup sequence and a title screen? (i also worked on fixing my audio code, and composed a battle theme! look forward to hearing that soon.)

it's a fun little device! the combined libraries of the psp and vita have some real hidden gems. its also pretty easy to make your own homebrew app+games for if you are programming inclined

The difference is that hshop is very much not endorsed or advertised by the luma3ds team, and you need to actively seek it out instead of just having it come with the installation process

i think its very funny how the 3DS modding scene is very careful about piracy, with warnings everywhere saying "FOR PERSONAL BACKUP USE ONLY!" meanwhile when you mod a PS Vita it just automatically installs an app on the home screen that lets you download every game on the system from a big list
screenshot of PKGj, a homebrew app for the vita that lets you install every ps vita game for free. listed in the screenshot are a bunch of persona games, and phantasy star at the bottom
