@SnuttiTutti I was thinking I'd pull a Microsoft and skip to RimWorld 10.

@Saldric101 Not quite 400 times a day but yeah, when there's something to announce I'll definitely announce it! But not quite yet.

@kamil_dzida Good question. I'm thinking of pushing an update pretty soon, it's been a few months.

@nudelwalker Tilt your monitor 45 degrees. Isometric!

But seriously - The game is top-down because
-Nothing is ever occluded behind anything else
-Many objects don't need multi-view graphics
-Art is simpler
-Tiles are easier to click

Isometric could work but at a cost, not worth it imo

@NumberOneAshe I really should sit down and work on the universe more. But it's hard! I'm some ways, harder than actual game design.

@taytayrmorton I think there were 4 at once at some points.

@mikeBithell Fun fact, Steven Soderbergh actually did direct a great film on an iPhone. Unsane.

@taytayrmorton At first just me. After the Kickstarter I hired a programmer, and contracted an artist and musician. Later on went up to 3 programmers, but artist etc contracts had ended. I'd say average team count over time was 2.5

@evirae Glad you agree! And you are very welcome.

@GameOnGardner It's tricky to explain without visual examples and a lot of words.

@GameOnGardner I'm describing a different problem that you just never ever see in shipping software, because Z-test solves it.

Imagine a car 10 feet away and a truck 200 feet away. Imagine the truck drawing over top of the car when it should be hidden behind it.

@mode7games @IanHardingham Should be "footybird", or "wingybird", since hands are analogous to birds' feet or wings.

It's not "nailyman" after all

@GameOnGardner Well it's easy to just render one object after the other without any Z-test (in fact it is the default).

But then if the two intersect at all, or the second-drawn one is behind the first, the image draws wrong.

@Sephirdorf I definitely reflected back on it, but I never actually and went back and read it. Too many new useful things to read and learn!

My interview with gamedesignlovers is up!

@Hanky_Spanky_ @OwenBurkard That sounds really bizarre. I'm afraid I can't really do anything about it, though, since the operating system stuff is all handled by Unity.

I've never heard such a report after 150,000,000+player hours, so I suspect it's specific to your machine somehow.

@TacoSt0rm Then someone done f*cked up.

@EmiliosManolid2 Never measured. In general pathfinding times are extremely situational so I don't think this could be answered in a number. We focus on problem cases.

@TacoSt0rm If its possible to lift the stack with two separate cables separately or together, these would be the weights for each cable/both cables together.
