Happy DLC day!
is it autism awareness day already?
>>735139429I'm celebrating by making symmetric solves for every puzzle
Ive still yet to do the last (?) chapter levels. Ive did the first 4. Special Amaro, Vapor of Levity, and everything after im 2 dum 2 solve
>>735139991just take your time
>>735140212Wanted to share my viscous sludge to show how slow it is, and i cant even upload the guf, because its like 6mb in size
>>735140732convert it to webm or put it in a catbox
>>735139772
>>735138525oh nice
isn't even out for another 3 hours
Im doing the "one armed bandit" challenge now, all puzzles have to be solved with one arm. tracks are allowed. im in act IV now
>>735139429It's BPD awareness day, hence Tsundere Tetallica.
>>735139991One done. Fuck these are difficult. Or im just dumb. I feel like my brain is fried
>tired: area>wired: convex area>inspired: symmetrical area
three products for an even output is a fucking pain to symmetrize
never had the makings of a varsity alchemist.
>>735138525>de re METALLICAI'm emailing Lars as I post this
>>735151971Zachtronics v Metallica would be a hilarious case. two autists head to head.De Re Metallica is a classic scholarly work from centuries ago.
>not a free update
>>735156486It is free if you know what you're doing.
>>735138525▲
Adding retracting arms to the game was a mistake. It makes everything too easy.
>>735138525Is there anything lars won't license?
>>735156687What do the new gilfs do?
>>735156825Have not played it yet but it seems to lower ranking the metal by 1 and creating a lead component
>>735156825Decrease the rank of the metal by 1 and generate a Quicksilver
>>735156687fixed
>>735156825>What do the new gilfs do?
>>735156745>Put static arm on trackWhat now?
>>735156745they're supposed to be. more than any other of zach's games, the core of opus magnum is making a bigass shitty inefficient solution at first and then autistically optimizing it later. and retracting arms are almost never the ideal solution for either cycles or cost
>>735138525I thought Zack quit gamedev to be a teacher or some shit?Who made it?
>>735158864he came back
Christ I'm making a mess, I swear I wasn't always this bad at the game
>>735158864he stopped teachingthis was basically a fan-mod thing that he converted into the game over the past two years
>>735158864He quit being a teacher because he couldn't stand the retard itoddlers
>>735158864He quit being a teacher because he couldn't wake up in the morning and decided going to school is too authoritarian for his anarchist mind>>735159459This never happened, unc projecting again
Optimizing is back on the menu. I'll play more later.
>>735158864He's been back for a while. There was a whole game they released last year.
Real-life alchemical symbols:https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2600.pdfhttps://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F700.pdf>Symbol for vitae (life) actually means sulfur IRL>Symbol for mors (death) actually doesn't exist IRL (the closest match means iron sulfate)Of course, 4chan filters all these symbols if you try to use them.
Neat
DLC? hell yeah
I have the type of tism that doesn't allow me to play games unless first played in release orderI'm still stuck on Spacechem
>>735165649that's his hardest game and the only one I never completed
>>735165649They're not even sequels
Why is everyone already so much faster than me. I didn't even get space, and I'm not looking forward to doing this with only 1 arm.
>>735156825squeeze out quicksilver from hard rods
I'm not sure why this needed to be production alchemy.
>>735165965The space restriction becomes so fucking tough in the latter levels, even with multiple reactors>>735166152I know I'm just stupid that way I just want to see the way their game dev 'sensitivities' shifted
>>735169169Cycles son
So some of the levels in the DLC use the limited space thing they added post-launch? I didn't like the base game because it's kinda boring to have infinite space.
>>735172489I'm just going with whatever solution comes up first. I'll optimize later.
>>735138525>Zach sold his brainchild to a holdings companyWhy is it that every westerner hates ownership?
>>735158864He sold it to a holdings company so that they can squeeze the IP dryhttps://www.alliance.games/about
>>735173347Life is getting real fucking expensive
>>735146493It might help to try optimizing for area and/or cost on some of the earlier, simpler puzzles. You'll learn some techniques that way.The box puzzles are definitely hard though.
>>735175380Gee I wonder why. Maybe the government should stop dipping into people's earnings.
I'm kinda miffed that dividing a metal isn't the exact opposite of combining them.
