| Is this game worth it to get into? Posted: 20 Apr 2019 08:04 AM PDT I have been planning to try a new Card Game for a while now, I don't normally play Card Games, I just play Gwent. I haven't played anything DOTA related but I just wanna know if the game is alive and well before I jump in. [link] [comments]  |
| So it Autochess really that good? Posted: 20 Apr 2019 09:33 AM PDT I had to uninstall Dota2 due to a heavy addiction problem, so I've never actually played Autochess.. Is it really that good to rival Artifact? In all honesty Artifact would have been a good game with a simple ladder and even just $10k in tournies thrown in by Valve. UPDATE: Wow! Thank you for the gold anonymous redditor! And a very interesting discussion I enjoyed reading over all of your replies. It sounds like a fun sort of gimmick game with some rng, but I'll pass on the game for now and await the new Artifact [link] [comments]  |

| Addressing some claims about artifact's development Posted: 20 Apr 2019 03:23 AM PDT Over the past couple of days I have seen numerous people claim that the reason for valve's failure is they tried to develop the game itself unlike all their other multi-player games, which we mods they turned into standalone titles. They did not entirely develop artifact, Garfield came to them with a pretty in-depth explanation for a 3 board card game and they chose what to do from there. I can't say exactly what he came with, but similar to icefrog he at the very least stuck around to help balance/develop cards in set one. Artifact shares much more similarity with dota/cs:go then it does with half life in terms of development style. I have also seen a lot of claims about autochess being a better game because the devs are able to roll out updates faster and made the game in less time, yet it's still popular. While I can't address the popularity, that really is determined by the masses, I can address the time for updates and development. I would bet my left nut that artifact is at least 5x the lines of code that autochess is. I'm decently sure it's at least 10x the lines of code. Artifact does use source 2 so there are a good amount of engine things that didn't need to be made from scratch, but most everything did. Compare that to autochess which is a mod for dota 2. I've played around a tiny bit with the mod creation tools for dota and soooo much is already set up for you. Other then the rules about how and what spawns for you, where you can place them, and how player's boards battle each other autochess didn't have to write any code for it. Yes their mobile game is out much faster then artifact, but they already had all the mechanics pre-defined, so they could skip the research part of R&D. On top of that, the autochess creators found a company to make the mobile app for them, and this company had a pre-existing fully functional game they were told to just re-create. TL;DR: Valve only wrote the game and interactions in artifact, like they did with dota and cs;go. It wasn't fully developed by them like HL. Autochess was easy to make because dota already had everything in place for the game, the devs only needed to define how a few things worked and dota would handle the rest. [link] [comments]  |
