I made a thing: Perk Roulette, slot machine edition

Hi guys,

I made a thing and I would love to hear some feedback about it.
It is a Perk Roulette for killers and survivors. Free and ad-free.

It's available at dpsm.3stadt.com

The documentation still lacks some better explanation on how you can "save" perk profiles, but I would love to hear some first raw feedback. On mobile it's (visually) still rough around the edges since the site is aimed as desktop and OBS.

Cheers, 3stadt :)

    Ah, I've been looking for a proper perk roulette, fresh with Spirit and Legion perks. And I love the cheesy slot machine animation too :)
    Thank you!

    I may record some vids with some of the funky results and post them here, if that's ok with you.

    PS. Wow dude this is really sweet. GOOD JOB!

    My only suggestion would be to write all the perk names in all caps on the wheel. It would look better and help with reading. All lower case makes it look cheap. Could also just capitalize the first letters, but IMO all caps would be more consistent and easier to read.

    And IDK what font you are using but maybe change it up. Shouldn't be fancy because it makes it harder to read, but like Calibri is very simple yet stylish and looks good in all caps.

    Nice work on that ability register, could do with pinning maybe?

    I really like the potential of the following build for aggressive hook rescue / stealth:

    Dance With Me / Lithe / Quick 'n Quiet / Urban Evasion

    Although I really find Dark Sense useful the only ability I'd swap out for it would begrudgingly be Urban Evasion, it's more of a Gen Jockey Safety line ability.

    change font

    Done. I changed the font throughout the complete site to get a more streamlined look. I've used Fira Sans, since it is under an open license but looks similar.

    @e8Lattice said:

    So like some sort of easy mode? I'd rather implement that with something like "only roll three perks". What do you think?

    Hi o/

    I like your perks roulette. Can I suggest you to add maybe the choice "nothing", as no perks? I regulary using perks roulette, and it's always funny when the perks roulette randomize you to play without perks or less than 4 perks. ;)
    Also can we mute the sound?

    Good job anyway. ;)

    I like it but on my first spin I got windows of opportunity on three perk slots and sprint burst.

    That's a nice idea and extends on the idea @e8Lattice had. I'll implement it, takes a few days. :)

    @Treyze said:

    Oh. Yeah. I should've thought of that. :chuffed: Will be implemented!

    @Dolphin9192 said:

    That's something that I tried to prevent. What browser are you using and did the wheels complete all at once or one after another? if not at once, in which order did they stop? Are you able to reproduce the behaviour?

  • 3stadt
    3stadt Member Posts: 34

    Muting the sound is now possibe. Either by using the switch below the randomize button or by appending &sound=0 to the url.

  • 3stadt
    3stadt Member Posts: 34

    @Dolphin9192 I implemented a function that prevents the Randomize-button from being clicked again before the current roll is finished. Maybe double clicking led to the behavior you were describing.

    I am using Chrome, they stopped in order starting from the left most perk and after a few more tries I was not able to reproduce that effect. It seems to be working fine now, I like that you added a sound option it was a nice touch.

    Could you give proper attribution for the Wiki background that you're using without having asked?

  • 3stadt
    3stadt Member Posts: 34

    @DocOctober you are right, I somehow just assumed the backgrounds are freely available dbd media. On that account... I didn't ask for permission on the perk images either. To be honest, I was to excited making the whole thing. sigh
    Well, I'll contact them and ask if it is okay to use the media (with credits). Hopefully I won't have to take all the stuff down.

  • 3stadt
    3stadt Member Posts: 34

    @DocOctober well, as far as I can see you are in fact the head admin of the wiki. Apart from being star struck, I updated the about section accordingly. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but did I interpret the license correctly? I am allowed to remix & use the images when giving proper credit?

    And if so, is the credit I've added sufficient?

    If not I will happily do what's necessary to keep everything in order. I'm sorry I made the mistake of not giving credit or asking for permission in the first place. I didn't mean to make people believe I made the graphics. It's about the functionality.

    The background has custom edits on it, that one needs to be attributed to the Wiki. The default icons that you're using can be found on the official game website or in the game folders, those need to be attributed to Dead by Daylight and BHVR.

  • 3stadt
    3stadt Member Posts: 34

    @DocOctober I have edited the Attribution accordingly. I've changed the background image to another one from the wiki, since I originally planned to change them anyway to custom ones per character after creating additional functionality to either chose or roll for survivors/killers.

    If anything is still not right, please tell me. I'm sorry to be annoying, legal/licensing stuff isn't exactly what I'm good at.

  • DocOctober
    DocOctober Member Posts: 2,230

    If you use that image, you can attribute the devs as well, that is their Stream background.

    Very nice! Though I'm noticing now that the main page text is HUGE and doesn't fit on the screen, and the text in the slot wheel is off center. Minor things though.

    First roll: Agitation, A Nurse's Calling, Bamboozle and BBQ. I could live with that actually. Neat idea.

    Edit: realized that is the default (alphabetical) when you first choose a side.

  • Dreamnomad
    Dreamnomad Member Posts: 3,965

    Survivor side I rolled Deja Vu, Calm Spirit, This is Not Happening, and Wake Up. I thought that was pretty close to the worst possible options then I rolled No Mither, Leader, Ace in the Hole and Borrowed Time. Pretty sure that I would rather have the first option.

    Yes, absolutely! I will release the code on github as open source as soon as I cleaned it up so even if for some reason I would be unable to do the update myself other people would be able to contribute.

    @ChesterTheMolester said:

    Since there is a roulette for killer perks, I assume you mean actually rolling which killer to use? This is on the roadmap (wow, I actually have one now o.O) and will be implemented. Will take some time though, first thing is code cleanup so I don't get lost in feature creep. ;)

    :D Ok, nice typo. But hey, in the future there will be a no-perk option: Roll only for a survivor/killer with items/addons. ^^ (Will take some time though, first step is open source + cleanup, multiple languages...)

    Hey, late on this, been a while since I last done a random wheel and now it's apparently lacking anyway, but gave this a try and it's nice, real nice, but you ask for feedback and so here's what I'm seeing is perhaps for the better: a little more colour, maybe also have the 'reels' a little more centered (vertically) and this is really unnecessary but would look a tiny bit better imo if you showed more of the 'reels' i.e. 2 above and 2 below the 'selection' line/row, if you get what I mean?
    i.e.

    ##### Hex Ruin ----------- Agitation --------------- Hex NOED --------- Stridor
    ##### Hex 3rd Seal ----- A Nurse's Calling -- Hex Ruin ------------ Surveillance

    WIN LINE## HEX THRILL ---- BAMBOOZLE -------- HEX 3RD SEAL --- TERRITORIAL ## WIN LINE

    ##### Insidious ----------- Barbecue ------------- Hex Thrill ------------ Thanatobia
    ##### Iron Grasp --------- Beast of Prey ------- Insidious ------------- Tinkerer

    And behind the scenes, an option to 'randomize' the reel placements/positions of the perks (if that's not already what you're doing anyway?) so they're not always in the same sequence, like alphabetical or whatever. Again, not really necessary but would set the mind at ease about random being as random as it can be!

    One last thing, should there be sound? I've got it switched on but not hearing anything, not sure if should be?

    And thanks, good job man!

    F me, even the forum has bugs and just ate up the feedback I just tried to leave?

    Okay, not gonna type all that again so basically I suggested maybe a bit more colour, more central position on screen, and to have a 'Win Line' with 2 rows above and 2 below, and maybe a randomizer for the reel positions of the perks so they're more 'random' than they would be without (though maybe that's already in there?)

    Also, sound doesn't seem to be working on it?

    But yeah, good job man, real nice!

    There is a new version in the works that has more colours, although it's not final yet. I made a quick preview video for you:

    Keep in mind it's still not done (as you can see because of the randomize button ^^)
