Thirty seconds is extremely harsh. There should be enough time to return to your game after a computer crash.

If your opponent doesn't have an SSD, that's his fault.

Yeah, on the same note, I don't understand the people complaining about overheating when running Making Fun.

Get a new computer, guys.

I use a computer from 2014. Making Fun sucks up like 99% of the processing power. It's incredible how poorly the app was made.

Um... 2014 is only two years ago.  My computer is from late 2011, and runs MF just fine.

Is your computer a Mac though?

I think it's more that MF doesn't write good efficient code for the Mac version. Maybe Unity doesn't run as well on Macs. If someone could write good code for a Mac version but can't for Windows, it would be the same thing but the other way around.

My 2013 Mac laptop runs the current version of MF Dominion with no issues at all. Previous versions caused it to heat up a lot, but I believe they've optimized the code.

Some things I'd like to see that haven't been mentioned here and I don't remember from the other thread:

- some way to easily access data from all the logs, so that we can have some councilroom-style site.
- "replay" mode for logs, where you can choose a log and get an automated replay of the game for you to watch.

a couple of remote possibilities:

  • an option to define the nature of your resignation. I often have to end a game to tend to a waking child or something of that sort. If I could mark them as 1)resigned in lieu of loss or conceded, 2) resigned for unrelated reasons and 3) maybe another option, then at the least I could filter them when I search my own game logs. Or, possibly I could see different ratings for different types of games. Obviously, from an official standpoint, they would all count the same, but at least I could see the distinction.
  • somewhat relatedly, maybe there could be an option for aliases. So all my games are rated under Main Name, but I can choose to play under Alias 1 or Alias 2, and they would be rated independently. (Possibly I use one when I'm seriously playing and another when casual). Or maybe just rated and unrated does the trick here

With regard to game logs:

Are you going to have an official game log searching interface and all that jazz, or will you be delegating that bit to the community (like previous implementations)? I assume that the click-to-resume-from-point-in-time game logs means there'd be a way to recover them, but will you also be providing a full suite of gokosalvager-esque capabilities?

Strongly disagree.
Lots of animations, and especially sparkles- they're the best! Making Fun doesn't have enough animation, and that's the main thing putting me off their product.

Avatars should just be card art.

Nah. I think it should be whatever people want, within reasonable limits (like no pornography or whatever). It's classy when WW has his classic Death Star avatar, or when I had my Mario avatar back in the day (I wouldn't use it now, I'd probably use Card Art), but you get my point.

Yeah, I would really want my Dismemberment Plan album cover art instead of just something that's already in the game. Everyone else does card art already, and it's not bad, but custom avatars are nice. If for whatever reason there can't be custom avatars, then yeah we should use card art instead of the shitty MF / Goko people

Why not have card arts as free avatars and let people buy a custom avatar for a few dollars?

This was just such a bad idea. Why did Making Fun include it in the game...? They got so lazy, and just copied the code instead of writing new code... Like, why, guys? Why? I'd want to rewrite the code from scratch. Goko's implementation was Stage 42 cancer.

Letting people use whatever they want necessitates some sort of feedback and moderation system to review and remove offensive avatars. That doesn't mean you can't do it, but it's extra (ongoing) work that doesn't directly contribute to the product.

I'd rather have a built-in tool that lets users choose and crop card art.
