Thread 715602393

How's your toilet production going?

I haven't started optimizing yet.

>>715602393 (OP)
I've been eyeing it. Is it as good as when the devs were working for Zachtronics? I have high hopes, I just want to be sure

>>715602652
It's good but probably one of their easiest games. You will need optimization autism to challenge yourself.

>>715602652
Not as good as their other games, but not bad

>>715602393 (OP)
Opus Magnum if he Infinifactory

Real disappointed in Zach's lack of autism here.

I hate this shit

>>715602707
ive yet to be puzzled but its still very enjoyable. im hoping for sometihng like those challenge boxes in the postgame of opus magnum. those fucked me up

>>715602393 (OP)
I thought of picking it up but Notch gave it a thumbs down. It's over. It looks more simple the opus magnum

Luv me TV

>>715604180
notch giving this a thumbs down when he stole all the code from zach's Infiniminer for his billions of dollars is fucking nuts

>>715604295
Still seething 20 years later, zach?

is this game for me if I'm too dumb for opus magnum?

>>715604295
He said it wasn't worth stealing

>>715605304
Yes it's much simpler.

>>715602707
I see. Do you think they'll do postgame content with harder puzzles? Is there a custom puzzle creator where the devs might pull in the most interesting ones?

>>715603587
I've spent like two hours trying to beat the golf one and still haven't managed it yet. No clue if there's a strategy I'm not seeing or if it's just pure ball-busting luck.

>>715604276
This is beautiful. I'm going to steal it and pretend I came up with it first.

modern indie games are becoming so weird, i don't even know what i'm looking at anymore.

>>715605304
>I'm too dumb for opus magnum
how? there are basically no constraints

Fucking finally. figuring out the right order to glue things together was actually kind of fun

>>715606907
NTA but I usually don't accept a solution that isn't at least somewhat optimized.

>>715606983
Is this the last puzzle? I'm only up to chapter 6 now.

>>715606587
It's a Zachtronics game (in all but name), they're what are called engineering games. Either you create a machine that builds things or you write code that performs certain tasks; in either case, you're given an input and have to make something that creates a specific output.
Haven't gotten the chance to play Kaizen yet but it's similar in concept to other games like Opus Magnum: the player has the parts spawn in a certain place, then has machines bond, unbond, move etc. the parts until they get the configuration, and then the machines move the completed output to a destination where it's moved off. It's done in a way that the process can loop endlessly, and you get a cool .gif from it

>>715607142
I think the continuous output feels nicer in opus compared to kaizen which is just singular units

>>715607136
Yeah and the game feels pretty short right now. zack promised to dripfeed more puzzles weekly in the launch announcement though

I feel like I just kinda gave up halfway through this level and just tried to make it work.

There's is some strategy. Whenever possible you should prioritize leaving runs/clusters of sequential cards, and also try to ensure you have a good distribution of numbers available to use, so that when the jackpot is open you can use them to bridge the value of your current ball to one of the cards in the jackpot area and avoid losing a turn.
The game will also always give you a ball that's +-1 from a visible card in the playfield, you can use this to rig the rng in your favor. It also means that if you get to a point where you only have uncovered red cards left, it's impossible to lose.
>>715604276
That's beautiful. Shame it wastes so much area tho.

TRANNYGAME REFUND NOW!!!

>>715602393 (OP)
I played the demo and got butthurt over no skip cutscene button even though I enjoyed the puzzles.
Does the full game allow you to skip the cutscenes and the sort-of-but-not-really rhythm game segment in the beginning? The answer will determine if I play the full game or not.

>>715606983
Here is my first solution.

>>715607619
The only cutscenes are at the very beginning and very end of the game, but neither are skippable
The rhythm segment only comes up once and all dialogue segments can be clicked through

>>715607619
>Does the full game allow you to skip the cutscenes and the sort-of-but-not-really rhythm game segment in the beginning? The answer will determine if I play the full game or not.
nope. this minigame actually happens more often and it gets harder with fail states. If the first occurence in the demo is too much to handle, just ignore the game.

is this game good for stimulating human brain?

>lying on the internet
Why?

>>715607902
its true t. not same fag

>>715607609
Whelp, there goes any incentive I'd ever have to buy this game. Piracy it is.

>>715607609
heh... nothing personnell zach, just don't put trannies in your game next time

>>715604276
oooooh using the frame to assemble the dials ! genius !

>>715607609
>>715608291
>potential
So made up schizo babble and you just take it at face value LMAO.

>>715609039
Is it not true then? Why the fuck would there even be romance in my engineering autism simulator?

>>715609291
I'm struggling to find what the fuck that faggot on steam community is referring to. There's not even a romance it's just a happy colleague.

For those wondering it's not on the store page but on the release post
>Look out for weekly bonus puzzles coming your way soon!

I challenge you to make a more retarded coffee than this

>>715609370
That's not exactly true, but the "romance" is a really minor thing. There's also nothing about her being a tranny.
The whole story is kind of weird, I was expecting more from it but I just wonder why they bothered with the story at all.

I would like to see the bidet being produced using only a single saw. Does anyone have an animation like this?

>>715612309
that was a breddy fun one

>>715613805
just noticed that the last flips are totally unneccessary
