    Hello Ryan, I used to love your game A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Orbs back in the days of YoYo Games. I wanted to know if you were interested in being interviewed about your days of YoYo Games. I am in the process of making a video essay about that time. Basic questions would be about what being a game dev used to mean to you, and what it means now. If/How this time affected your life. And any standout memories you had from back then, good or bad. Thanks! -David Giles

    Great video! Thank you! Just getting into prototyping for a board game that has been in R&D for quite some time. Super excited to use this for the iterative design process! Was wondering if there is a way to round the corner on the Images. It seems that png files that are called to the cards must have sharp 90° corners.

  • @user-or5mq9ue3w
    @user-or5mq9ue3w 2 месяца назад

    Hi, the videos are from three years ago but I hope you will answer me. I have a problem with custom components. My game have a sort of three flat circular donuts, of three sizes, that go one inside the other, and in the center of them goes a taller cylinder-shaped piece. all parts should be able to move freely, I might want to put one of the three donuts in a sector where the cilinder-pawn is already there, or a pawn where there is a donut, or put or remove a donut where there are already others of different sizes . I created the 3D shapes with Blender, and they are really pierced in the center, but the objects overlap as if the hole didn't exist. A very crude trick I've found is to leave them overlapping (they're flat and it's not very noticeable) and use the U key to lower some of them, if I want to pick up one of the stack. Unfortunately the pawn does not respond in the same way, (like other standard 3D components that TTS offers such as "blocks" for example) the U key makes these components go down under ALL the shapes of a row, but does not make anything go down under them. A final solution which could be very simple but I don't know if it's possible (?), would be to be able to cancel the physics and solidity of all the objects, in practice so the objects would not stack on top of each other but would pass through each other. If you can think of a possible solution let me know, thank you! the game is very simple, it's abstract like checkers, nothing to stack, but only pawns and donuts one inside the other, even if all the shapes were without physics would be fine. thank you

    What if I wanted the number of cards to go down based on the number of players? I am not sure how I would write that out in the scripting. I feel like I would have to let TTS know that if there are 3 players, then draw 3 cards, but if there are 4 players, then draw 2 cards. Not sure how to do that though.

    Hey Ryan, my name is Dave. I love your videos they've helped me a lot. But I've got a problem that I could really use help with. I created an old board game that came out in 1980. Me and my friends love the game, but we are all over the country now and so I created in TTS. What I need is to have different game pieces to be distributed onto the game board. I originally had it work upon loading. But I really need it to do it by way of pushing a button. I have tried for hours and hours referring back and forth to your videos when needed (a lot), but I just can't seem to get it to work. I just tried to paste the code so you could see it, but it must have been too long bc I got an error message. I guess the best way would be to email me and I can reply back to you with the coding I was trying to use. I don't have a FB or X account so I can't communicate with you that way. So here's my email, I really hope you can help me. juliuscaesarhq@hotmail.com

    I'm making a dungeon-generator for Tabletop Simulator as a university project and I'm running into a hurdle that I thought you might be able to help me with. I have thrown this problem at Reddit as well. As it stands, I'm capable of generating a board through a Json file by accessing image files on the local disk, but these dungeons are not visible in multiplayer. I can upload these images to the cloud in-engine, but that defeats the purpose of the generator. Is there a way I can prompt the user to upload the images upon load? I'm seeing a glimmer of hope in Lua scripting (for which I've grasped the very basics) but I can't seem a way to prompt the user with the option to upload the images to the cloud. Is there another example I can reference?

  • @sethwinslow

    This video is SOOOO helpful, THANKS! I’m working on my first prototype and I have a nanDECK question. I’d like to add a varying number of circles to cards. These will be places where players deposit resources, and when the card is full, they can activate the card. So some cards will have 3, 5, or 7 circles. Some of these will also have special requirements, say the first resource has to be Fire. I could do this by making separate images for 3, 4, 7, and then 3 fire in the first, and 5 water in the first, and so on. But it seems to me there must be an easier way to automate this. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
