Ultimately, Shelter Generations relies on your capacity to dig into its subtleties. On that overt level it's an obtuse and obviously indie game, and it's really quite demanding of the player; it asks them to figure their own way through the game, and it asks them to really commit to an emotional connection to these hopeless little cubs.

Sometimes it requires more luck than strategy to complete the levels because of the building queue system.

Good game with some place for improvements. It has potential.

This is a good game, but it has potential to become an even greater game.

Kudos for not adding an achievement waterfall.

While the mechanics in this game are more varied than the first Zup!-game

the aesthetics in this are very dull

if you have the patients

The game implements new mechanics gradually, like magnets, trampolines and wreckingballs.

A small set of levels with obtuse goals and scoring leaves the player uncertain of what exactly they are playing.

messy

The game consist of many unique elements like a switchable fireball gun / laser switcher, time turning platforms, rotating / sequential lasers, floating ball shooting enemies, wall of death.

All of the beautiful handdrawn backgrounds contribute to a dark atmosphere and mystery.

The game has been on sale for a year, but sales have been dismal.

Planning note:

this game is purely amateur production, material selection and creation is not professional, just hope you can like this story.

By normal standards I wouldn't recommend it, but there's a cryptic undercurrent that escapes my perception.

(note: this is meant to be an informational review, not a positive or negative review)

There are geographical guessing games based on Google Streetview that are much better.

This might be exciting if the photography was better, but as it is, it's a simple concept cheaply implemented.

Oh, and it focuses on Russia and Eastern Europe, with cities like Olonets, Torun, Solovski, Kobuleti, Skopje etc in the Easy difficulty setting.

Maybe use more cities from South/West Europe, too?

UFO - Unfortunately Fortunate Organisms

Playing the game reminds me of when Han Solo has to maneuver in an asteroid field and C3PO says "Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1!"

Paws what you're doing and play this game right meow.

PROJECT IS NOT EU FRIENDLY

We haven’t imported this board game before. Typically there are customs hurdles the first time cargo clear customs officers. While we have extensively planned around these delays and have budgeted for them extensively in our milestones tracker, the fact remains that customs remains unpredictable.

Enter 2020: Matt and Jordan managed to scrape together some illustrations for playtesting, but they weren’t up to the bar of a production game. Fortunately, we connected through friends with Jaehee, and she cautiously listened to the pitch for the game. Once she decided to join the team, the artwork and designs quality improved by orders of magnitude, to the point where we had an experience we felt was worthwhile sharing publicly.

The good news: everyone had a genuine blast. We knew we had experimented our way into something fun, even if the rules and designs still needed a lot of work.

The players plot to get the cards to yellow on player G's turn so he can lay down some Double Draw cards...

We will dispatch rewards from our factory to our FOUR 3rd party fulfillment centers, to keep things as friendly* as possible worldwide in accordance with all worldwide laws. *"Friendly" to us means: We will collect and pay VAT/Taxes upon importing to our  fulfilment centers on everyone's behalf so we can send your rewards DDP vs DAP.  If we were not "Friendly" - we would send games direct (DAP) and you would have to pay VAT and admin fees as well as a postal fee to "pick up" your reward locally - vs DDP where that is all done for you and the reward is delivered to your doorstep, "friendly".  It costs lots of money to ship 4 containers to 4 different fulfilment centers - but we do that in an effort to help our backers and to be *friendly.

As of Jan 1, 2021 many countries now require KS creators to show Shipping AND VAT/Fees/Taxes on Kickstarter Rewards - not just 1 price for "shipping". So we will do that in our Pledge Manager, after the campaign. Yea, we know...this sucks and is against everything Kickstarter used to be about (the world now views KS as a store, not as a creative platform sending rewards to backers for helping bring the vision to life)

each of which we could show to be more beautiful, and more usable than the original.

Enclosed text fields with a rectangular (box) shape performed better than those with a line affordance

Identifiability: The number of correct versus incorrect clicks

Find-ability / scan-ability: The time it took a participant to find and click on a requested element

To make sure that participants couldn’t learn and predict where text field alternatives might show up during the test, we randomized the order in which we presented those text fields.

To improve the usability of text fields and to determine which text field variables to alter, our researchers and designers conducted two studies between November 2016 and February 2017, with actual users.

You might not always notice, but Material Design is constantly evolving and iterating based on research.

However, some users didn’t know that they could interact with and click on the text field. It looked like an empty box. The line affordance under the old text fields was not clear to some users. The line was confused with a divider.

The label and input were confused with body text, especially in dense compositions.

Note: The standard variant of the TextField is no longer documented in the Material Design guidelines (here's why), but Material-UI will continue to support it.

While there are certain things most users will anticipate with any interface, there may be expected affordances that are unique to your users and the cohort they represent

Negative affordances are used when conveying a lack of function or interactivity.

An example of this would be a button that looks clickable but isn’t, underlined text that doesn’t contain a link, or a TV remote that turns on your lights but not the TV. False affordances are often present by mistake or occur due to lack of effective design techniques.

False affordances occur when a feature of an item suggests a use that the item can’t actually perform.

Explicit affordances are obvious, perceptual features of an item that clue you in on how it is to be used. With explicit affordances, physical appearance and any accompanying language or text inform the user of how an object is to be used.

Hidden affordances are implicit features of an object. The clues that indicate an items function are not obvious and may not even be displayed until the action is being taken.

“when affordances are taken advantage of, the user knows what to do just by looking: no picture, label, or instruction needed.”

For instance, when you see a door handle, you assume its function is to open a door. When you see a light switch, you assume it can be flicked to turn on a light. When looking at a chair, you know it can be sat in. All of these are affordances. Don Norman refers to affordances as relationships in his book The Design of Everyday Things. He goes on to say that, “when affordances are taken advantage of, the user knows what to do just by looking: no picture, label, or instruction needed.”

What is an affordance? An affordance is a compelling indicator as to how an item operates and includes both its perceived and actual functions.

Many designers strive to create products that are so easy to navigate, their users can flow through them at first glance. To design something with this level of intuitiveness, it’s imperative designers understand affordances—what they are and how to use them.

But floats are still useful and relevant! In fact, we have to use them for the shape-outside property to work.

Now that we’ve gotten newer layout features — again, like grid and flexbox — floats, too, have sort of fallen by the wayside, perhaps either because there are better ways to accomplish what they do

This way the text will wrap above the shape even though the div extends to the top.

shape-outside: inset(100px 100px 100px 100px 10px);

It might be better to think of it this way: with the shape-outside property we’re changing the relationship of other elements around an element, not the geometry of the element itself.

The default fill_in method of Capybara is case sensitive. This is apparently due to their use of XPath. Anyhow, this seems to not be very well aligned with the entire idea of DSLs and letting non programmers write tests.

After some searching i found a stack overflow problem that didn't fix my issue but anyhow… I simply used a little ruby and the capybara library to find the field myself with some case insensitive regex and the ruby detect method

It's strange to me that the text returned is in all caps (how it's styled after CSS), but the matcher is actually testing against the text in the unstyled HTML. I spent a while digging through the source code and I still can't figure out why this works.

CSS-generated content is not included in the DOM. Because of this, it will not be represented in the accessibility tree and certain assistive technology/browser combinations will not announce it. If the content conveys information that is critical to understanding the page's purpose, it is better to include it in the main document.

A falsey return value from #validate will deviate the flow and go straight to End.fail_fast.

inline-block

Also, the img is liquid/fluid, the height of the div/img are unknown, and the width is set to 800px and max-width to 80%.

vertical-align: -50%;

Requirement #2 contains an unwarranted assumption. The body needs to flow not around the sidebar, but around the sidebar's position. That may seem like splitting hairs, but it isn't -- because what if there were something floated where we want to put the sidebar? The body would flow around that space. If we could put the sidebar in that same location, we'd have a solution.

There has been some Quality-of-Life changes as well, which I really appreciate. For example, the long elevator in level 10 has been replaced with a teleporter. There's been some balance changes as well, but aside from level 10, I haven't checked them out.

Vitaly Friedman loves beautiful content and doesn’t like to give in easily.

However, the reason for these problems isn’t the theory itself, but the way the theory is interpreted - by developers and browsers.

Which HTML tag I should use to enclose such notes to add a semantic meaning of a note that may be useful to read at a given point of a tutorial, but is not part of the main tutorial flow?

A better description is in the specification itself. Why read secondary remarks when the source is written so good?

I respectfully disagree with your assessment. You are referencing the quote "It's not appropriate to use the aside element just for parentheticals, since those are part of the main flow of the document." However the OP specifically said that they are looking for a semantic element for "a note that may be useful to read at a given point of a tutorial, but is not part of the main tutorial flow". That is what "aside" is for. It's not part of the main content flow.

An admonition is a parenthetical

<aside> is appropriate if the side note "could be considered separate from the content"

<aside> is not appropriate if the side note is "a parenthetical". The W3C gives no examples of what it means.

In my opinion, the W3C definition is unnecessarily confusing and restrictive. The dictionary definition of aside is "a temporary departure from a main theme or topic", and the spec should just stick to that, rather than introducing subtle distinctions.

I believe the accepted answer is not quite correct. According to the HTML5 working draft, the <aside> element can be used to mark up side notes in certain, but not all cases:

Of course, there is no reason why you can't use <aside> for all sidenotes, if it makes your code simpler. Think of it as civil disobedience. :)

The dictionary definition of aside is "a temporary departure from a main theme or topic"

I actually think this is Not Constructive, since there's no absolute rule about which pairings can be joined into a single word or hyhenated, and it's pointless having "votes" here about each specific case. Follow a style guide if you have one, or search Google Books and copy whatever the majority do. Or just make your own decision.

a temporary departure from a main theme or topic; brief digression.

A temporary departure from a main theme or topic, esp. a parenthetical comment or remark; short digression.

(of a subject or activity) different than the one you are talking about or doing: a tangential issue

Tangentially is defined as briefly mentioning a subject but not going into it in detail, or is defined as going off in a different direction.

1a : touching lightly : incidental, peripheral tangential involvement also : of little relevance arguments tangential to the main point

The informative asides about rural life make this wine guide rather special.

a remark or story in a speech or text that is not part of the main subject:

He frequently interrupted his narrative with amusing asides.

a comment or discussion that does not relate directly to the main subject being discussed : digression

A parenthetical remark is said in addition to the main part of what you are saying or writing.

to expand (something, such as a statement) by the use of detail or illustration or by closer analysis

a remark or passage that departs from the theme of a discourse : digression The speaker inserted some often amusing parentheses during his speech.

an amplifying (see amplify sense 1) or explanatory word, phrase, or sentence inserted in a passage from which it is usually set off by punctuation explained further in a parenthesis

Show/hide output and metadata differences in the diff editor

We are continuing an overhaul of our default startup editor in order to provide relevant extension-contributed tips and walkthroughs, intended to make both core VS Code features and extension contributions more approachable to new users.

We continued improving our support extending the Markdown renderer in Notebooks.

Limitations: When there are multiple distinct ranges of cells selected, most commands will only be executed against the first range or the focused range. We will continue improving this experience in upcoming releases.

Now VS Code's generic debugger UI supports all data breakpoint access types defined in the Debug Adapter Protocol as context menu actions in the VARIABLES view: Break on Value Read: breakpoint will be hit every time a variable gets read. Break on Value Change: breakpoint will be hit every time a variable gets changed (this action was previously available). Break on Value Access: breakpoint will be hit every time a variable is read or changed.

Warning: might be influenced by nostalgiaI'm really happy to have found this little gem on steam :)

This is the game that introduced me to RTS genre in the 90s though it might be nostalgia speaking but i absolutely adore this game.

Maybe its a bit of nostalgia, but that can't change anything on greatness of the game.

believe me, they are not just copy paste each and every single mission is completely different

If you like puzzle games, this is certainly a game for you. Well designed level progression that helps you build a good understanding of the underlying rules of the world

But there ARE invincibility frames. 0.5 seconds.

the game is designed in such a way that you don't need too many tries to figure out boss patterns or tricky platforming sections. Another nice feature is that you can warp between different areas so you don't have to do a bunch of backtracking.

Mir wurde das Spiel glücklicherweise empfohlen und möchte es weiterempfehlen :)

this game is - well not exactly bad, but it also isn't a very good game of the genre - there are some riddles and puzzles that can give you quite the headache. I like hard puzzles, I like games where all isn't quite obvious - but I also like a barrier-free gaming experience.

It feels like it was thrown together in a weekend using parts from "Think To Die" since even the successful act of feeding your chickens has the same blood-splatter-on-camera-lens that you would get from scoring in Think To Die where your goal is to kill all of your people as opposed to this where you are feeding animals, so what's with the blood splatter? It just shows a lack of attention to detail.

The blood when you get the animal to food is really off putting. It doesn't make sense, is the player suppose to be eating the animal once you get it to food? If the dev just removed that it would make this game MUCH MUCH better.

It is also the first game I've seen whose icon for "mute" is not a crossed-out speaker/note, but a symbol for "pause" in musical notation...

Inspired by Minesweeper.

The problem is the 'power-ups' (aka cheats?): the ice cubes, bombs, and especially the teleports. They seem needed to solve some levels (at least for 3 stars completion), but because they are widely available (5 of each / level) they are completely overpowered. Why would you try to solve a level without them, when you can use them? It removes the incentive to actually solve the puzzles the hard way. It breaks the game. Shame.

The Not So Good: The Dev/s seems to be in hiatus -- still waiting for the "coming soon" additional levels: Laser Land.

This is an unfinished/abandoned 2D "diving" game (basically a flyer/"platformer") where you swim through an underwater maze and collect various objects. The game wasn't finished, it's clunky, and lacks polish. The developer dumped it on Steam as a quick cash grab and ran. This should be removed from Steam until completed (if ever). I can't recommend incomplete games,

I would be really proud to show it off it was "my baby", but as a player, it's incredibly boring.

The gameplay (swim to treasure chests to loot them and kill sharks on your way) is basic.

The movement speed is painfully slow. There's nothing to do on your way.

I love puzzles.I love detective games.I love story rich adventures.I love point and click games.Somehow this title FAILED in all four departments.The gameplay is Painfully broken.

these events can break the flow of the game and force the player to repeat sections until they master the event, adding false difficulty to the game.

Made with love an care.

An ingenious and adorable piece of casual gaming. Definitely recommended.

Motivation is provided by an ever-escalating difficulty, though not to the point where you feel frustrated.

A non-pretentious yet funny and innovative physics puzzle game

A Game-design MasterpieceTake one simple game mechanic, and make the absolute most of it – that's exactly what the developers of Jim is Moving Out did, and it worked really well! The core of this game is stunningly simple: a few little boxes (furniture) inside a big box (Jim's house), one or two flying fellas (the players) and a physics engine. Think about the most creative ways you could make this into a game. Anything you think about, this game did it. What if you had to squeeze through narrow holes without breaking too much furniture? It's in the game. What if the room had wheels? Yep, it's there too. What if one of the walls was missing and you had to avoid losing the furniture? The whole co-op is about this. Zero gravity? Yes, even that is in the game.

I must say I am quite surprised by so many negative reviews. To me this little game is pure genius. There's something about it you just can't put your finger on... something strange, hard to define. The premise is utterly simple - roll left or right - but the game keeps adding new possibilities every level. And it doesn't make a fuzz about it. "Here's something completely new, it's there, who cares". The mechanics and physics are spot on and the game explores them brilliantly. Visually it's beautiful and the characters you interact with are strange and fascinating. A feeling of novelty and discovery permeates the game from start to finish.Here's my suggestion: watch some videos of the gameplay and see if it bothers you. If not, go for it, for you've barely seen the tip of the iceberg.

is a casual indie game inspired by the old Tom & Jerry (NES) game

There were a few times I felt like making notes, but never ended up needing to because the scale of the puzzles is kept manageable throughout.

A very creative concept that i`ve never seen before in a video game.

A PvP level was added just for the sake of ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles, the only purpose of this this is game is achievement farming.

however the biomass that you collect does nothing but gives "yay for you" points

Fortunately for fans of high quality puzzle games, RUSH is anything but simple.

Many hand made levels

Academy Games has always prided itself in the quality of its rules. Most of our rules are taught in stages, allowing you to start playing as soon as possible without needing to read everything. We are very careful about the order we teach rules and rely heavily on graphics and pictures to facilitate understanding. We also include a large number of detailed picture examples, often with 3D renders, that help you understand the context of the rules.

During development, we are constantly trying new and diverse game mechanics. The game's rules can change hour to hour as we test which ideas work best. Rules start out as just ideas and we record which ideas work and which ones don't. This forms the first development ruleset which is essentially a change log that notes why ideas do or don't. As the rules are consolidated, there are rarely any pictures to indicate what a rule is referring to,  since prototype art is also changing constantly. Terminology can also change section to section as we explore what wording works best. This makes the development rules impossible to understand for anyone other than the development team.

We also include a large number of detailed picture examples, often with 3D renders, that help you understand the context of the rules. For these reason, we generally don't start laying out the final rulebook until production art is complete. Writing and laying out a 20 page rule book like this generally takes about 3 months from start to finish, usually requiring a complete rewrite or two, and involves dozens of editors.

We use an online editing program called ProofHQ, where you and our development team will review the rules, discuss ideas, and add comments and suggestions, so that these rules are of the same high quality as our other game rules. We have used this process for years, because integrating outside eyes and ears is an invaluable asset.
