Ok, it looks pretty. Can you keep it looking pretty when you build a giant expansive world? Or is the whole world going to be grassland?

There's a reason indie games don't even try to approach this level of graphics. It's not that hard to get it working for one scene, but making a whole game like this is impossible solo (or else AAA studios would be shitting out tons of games instead of hiring 100 man teams).

Alternatively you need a game where you can get away with limited assets (like the DD Ace Combat game, where all you really need is a detailed sky/ground/planes).

Looks neat but I probably wouldn't play it. I got a little motion sick just watching that video. Also, needs more weapons.

>>147908596
you're going to get bullied a bit, so I hope you have a thick skin

the gameplay mechanic (walking on walls / gravity / perspective changing) isn't super unique - a lot of people think of the idea when they start deving... but I don't think anyone has ever actually implemented it well, so if you nailed it you might have something special

you're also making what looks like an arena shooter - be warned that multiplayer indie games are 99% doomed to failure no matter how good they are just because the playerbase isn't big enough

the game also looks like a tech demo right now - do you have a plan for making the assets? can you model/texture/etc?

basically we've seen a lot of games like yours before, so we're a bit cynical

i hope you've got a trick up your sleeve

Not really related to gamedev, but I feel like a missed opportunity was Twitch Plays Pokemon Go with a GPS spoofer. It seems harder than it looks, though, because you'll have to convert Google Maps to walkable/unwalkable tiles otherwise people can just walk over the ocean.

I think it's too late now though because the popularity will be gone within a month seeing as the game is so shallow.

>>147909406
Once I went to bed after devving late at night and I dreamed that I was still devving and adding the things I wanted to before I went to bed. Felt good.

That's a 75% download rate anon, far above the idol game.

Don't give up!

really, demo day is a bit misleading for new devs... it's always dominated by a couple of celebrity games... not much you can do about it other than making a game that panders to /agdg/ or having a super complete/polished game

>>147908873

You can download multiple times before closing the page.

>>147908596
>Would you play it
No, but someone else might. However as already pointed out the models don't feel like they belong there. Make your own in a style that meshes with the level, doesn't need to be photorealistic humans, it could be some blocky figures or whatever instead.

Also, third person mode isn't needed. Switch to first person, this also reduces the demand for pretty and sparkly player models.

And finally the juice is lacking, it looks like you're throwing pool table balls at eachother, add some neon plasma balls, bright orange rockets and other impactful weapons.

I made a couple of videos where i play some of the demo day demos, so the devs can get some feedback.
Originally I wanted to play all of the demos but there are just so many of them this time around, plus i realized that some of the devs won't be even interested in me giving comments on their games in my broken whispery english while i play their demo.
So if you want me to play your demo just reply to this post with the name of your demo and i will try to do it.
This way if no one is interested i will at least save myself all of that work.

Here is the link to the first 5 games i did:

okay figured it out

you take the normal n by v⃗ ⨯ x⃗, then take the sign of n from the sum of its components, multiply the sign into the magnitude of n, and do

atan2(||n|| * sign, v · x)

then map the negative parts into positive by 2pi

Artbros often feel like you feel but in reverse. You either get competent at both, team up with someone, or make crap games.

There are plenty of games that have been very successful with simple art. There are plenty of assets for sale you can buy for your game, too.

I got all of the "content" for alchemy/potions in the game, but it's still non-functional. That means all the 3d models and UI textures are there, and I also created a data table for recipes and colors. So tomorrow I will add the code to mix potions based on the recipes, then I have to give them each some kind of function when you drink it. I ended up making the reagents actually count as potions, and I'm not sure if that was a mistake yet because I had to special-case them a bit in the code since they can't be mixed (they can be consumed for minuscule benefits though). Oh well.

If anyone is interested in trying it, you can play here (though without the alchemy):

Or if you wanna buy a kit that'll cover 90% of your game's needs. There's plenty of art packs out there. Most players are not gonna notice even if you use a popular one.

No you aren't. If you knew programming you'd know how much more you could do than some entry level art idiot.

So to sum it up, you don't know to art and you also don't know how to programming. And you refuse to learn either and instead post memepictures all day.

You can buy art packs that you can use. It's not ideal but you can definitely go from there. If you redraw the main characters, tweak colors etc. a lot of people won't notice and even those who notice won't care if your game is fun.

>>147913071
>It's funny how elitist you people are for someone who have done nothing at all.

This is more representative of the truth around here.

Elitism is proportionally inverse to what have been accomplished by the person. It starts with the ultra elitisits that have done something negative, then starts to taper off with the people that have just done a regular nothing at all.

>>147913071

Vertex coloring could probably be learned well from here:

It's not that complicated.

Here's a more direct example.

They occasionally feature my (released) game.

Once when I cheated on my view counts (which didn't help in ANY way aside from them featuring me).

Once when I went on sale for a very high discount.

Perhaps they do it by hand on top of meeting certain thresholds...

>>147916256

>>147915967
Platforming and exploration.

You're an astronaut trapped in the "hyperspace".
First part of the game is focused on navigating from planet to planet. Using the movement system (with sprint & jump) as well as all the material stuff you can find to gain height and/or speed.
After a while you'll find a Jetpack, allowing you to easily travel from planet to planet and explore all the stuff that was out of reach before.
In that second part of the game, everything will become a little more fucked up and puzzles will be really different from each others but all of them will revolve on player's perception and paradigm shifts.

>>147913876
Sometimes (always) I question goverment action. Especially who's responsible.

Because consider how much Russia loses by banning github. It's an insane software development resource.

So if I was some lunatic politician who decided 'oh, someone hosted a text file, we have to ban this'. Where's the agency that tells me to shut the fuck up or kidnaps me and throws me into some uranium mine or whatever.

That clearly doesn't exist in this case. I think it'd be good all over the place. Punish retards harshly. It's not even about if someone is retarded or not. It's more about what the consequences were, even if it'd be regarded as wise by people to take that course of action if it has objectively negative consequences (which isn't that hard to tell in many cases) just shoot the person who made the decision.

If you take this perspective on politics, everyone who said or did something stupid died, you'd quickly see how much better that system is.
>but death penalty is a bit harsh
Consider the consequences of reduced economic growth in a country like Russia. Decisions like these have probably killed hundreds already. So what's 1 person if you can start discouraging stuff like this?

Yes I know he should catch it, it's even easy. I'm just about to go out though!


Wanted to make it start from the side and have a round curving pattern... but it proved awkward since most of my game is tight rooms.

Still proves to be a fun combo with a melee weapon in the other hand though, stabbing shit while you wait for the boomerang to hit something (or not).

>>147916981
Well. You'd have to start with a clean slate right?
Either they can't be politicians anymore or you just slay all of them.

Then you enact the laws and people who (hopefully, for their own well-being) give a shit take office via democratic vote and they are held accountable for all consequences of changes to the system.

And now you have the most viscious killer left as the only politician in town. And he's going to be concerned about his comfortable economical wellbeing in addition to be paranoid about everyone who wants to kill him, and he's not going to have any moral problems with killing everyone he suspects.

No the non-politicians would kill the politicians obviously. There's no politicians left. It's not like politicians enforce law or anything. They just make changes.

If nobody wants to mess with stuff I'd say it's pretty OK as is.

Excellent, thank you very much. To answer a few things you pointed out:
-There are no other weapons yet, I had to rush to get any attack at all in the game. More are planned though.
-A lives system is planned, not sure yet if respawning in place or checkpoints.
-The keys are remappable by editing the config file, though I know that's tedious. Next version will hopefully have a menu for that.
-I'll probably do something about the falling sneks, though watching people die to them while climbing those ladders has been hilarious.
-There actually was a tiny secret in that wall
-You got almost halfway through the game

Also fuck, I just realized I shipped a config file with the window coordinates set to 0,0 and apparently on Windows this places the window too high to grab the titlebar and move the window. I've reuploaded the game with more sane settings, though you can just edit (or remove) the config file to fix it.

Because I like it and because it's still making me money.

Although I shit on them, they have been busy with slapping my game into bundles and trying to get it more attention.

I was recently ranked (by someone else) as one of their better games, which appears to have made them try harder to push my game. They appear to care a lot more for their top games (which makes sense...).

I can't figure it out

Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed the demo.

I don't think its really all that more random than Spelunky or Binding of Isaac, but that is the nature of the game, so aside from some boss placement and special story-related rooms, it'll probably continue to be an RNG fest. :)

Even I've been taken by surprise by those sneks. See the part in >>147915937 where he gets killed by the snake ( https://youtu.be/brU3NMWxO3U?t=524 ). The snake turns mid-air and falls to the middle platform. I never planned for this to happen but since their behavior is randomized at fixed intervals, there's a good 1/3 chance for that every time that particular snake decides to walk off the cliff.

>>147918194
I don't even know what the problem is. I can't think. I need to make a thing that will do things in sequence relative to other things and I don't know the architecture for that.

Hey Grid Dev:
Couldn't you just steal the movement system Pokemon Mystery Dungeon has? Movement is WASD, both for a diagonal, and if you're holding spacebar or something you can only move diagonal. You could also put in like a 5 frame (83ms) buffer before movement to allow the player enough time to do a diagonal. I couldn't really see anyone who plays video games fucking that up.

>>147918456
Explain what you want your game to do. Not even a technical explanation - just want you want the player to see.

Comfyville Feedback

Has potential to be something cool, but feels really slapped-together at the moment.

There's no real feedback when the player does anything. I can't tell if I can harvest fruit from a tree when I left click or not because there's no indication of it, and there's no sound when I do harvest, so it almost seemed like the fruit just fell of its own accord the first few times.

I was having trouble picking up fruit also, I just kept kicking it around trying to grab it, then I realized my inventory was full. These are all little things the player needs to know. Am I standing close enough to harvest this? Is my inventory full? etc.

The inventory screen was really buggy for me also. Pressing TAB brings the inventory up, but if I click on the inventory at all, then pressing TAB after that caused the little tabs at the top of the menu to get a dashed line around them, and didn't exit the inventory, so then I'd have to click off of the inventory to deselect that tab, which would result often times in me accidentally planting something. This was a double nightmare in the shop, when somehow I had the shop AND my inventory up and overlapping, and I couldn't get either to close.

I don't know how much is placeholder and how much isn't, but you may consider a change of art direction with your UI. The whole game really has that "mobile port with microtransactions" feel with the huge colorful buttons, comic-y fonts, big coin icons for money, etc. This is a turn-off for some people, believe it or not.

The music is nice, and if its placeholder also, then that's at least the type of music you should shoot for when you get your real music put together. The overall Animal-Crossing graphical vibe is nice, although given you've got some assets taken straight from AC, its hard to tell what's you, and what's placeholder.

It's got potential to be a nice time-wasting chill farming game. Good controls, nice music. Keep working on it, man!

Listened to a few of your tracks, and overall the sound is really nice, but for BGMs you really want to be careful with peaking or near-peaking audio.

For example, in Fight With Mishima, that bass/kick is way, WAY too much, and in Six Six Five, there's a high pitched tone/instrument that is a bit too shrill at it's highest. Maybe not a big deal for PC speakers but for headphone users its RIP.

Otherwise the composition and instruments are great. I'm not sure what sample library you use, if its EWQL or others, but it sounds pretty sharp.

Thanks for playing! I discovered the bug in your play session. It actually comes from being on a level that has spike projectiles for more than 5-10 minutes (depending on the hardware power of your PC) will crash the games FPS.

I never caught this bug because I have a pretty beefy PC and since I know what to do on every level, it doesn't take me 5-10 minutes to complete a level.

Thanks to your footage I caught the bug and will be updating the demo soon so thank you.

Along with some bugs I caught from anons, I will be changing the main menu to be smoother just a little space where you can mess with the movement if you want, and a lot more polished than using this as the title screen like before.

If anybody else plays Bokube and finds a bug let me know.

Oh ok, gotcha. I'll give that some thought, especially when I'm more into level design and can tell if there's a big mismatch while playing the game, thanks!

>>147919561
The eyes are the absolute worst part. They look like that shitty "uguu" kind of cute, but an even shittier western version of it. Fix that and I may look at the game twice. not trying to be rude; just being honest

>>147919083
here, you want me to walk you through it? it's fucking easy.
choose two or three points, interpolate them with some sort of function to get the positions of your object, and scale the provided time elapse so that your object moves over the entire segment of that polynomial within the correct amount of time, at whatever changing rate you'd like.
is your function piecewise? that's a non-issue; when your object is acceptably close to the point where it should switch pieces, just switch the fucking pieces you little bitch.

>>147920415
Yeah that's true and it's a huge bummer but indies nowadays have it way easier than the creators of old when it comes to owning their own properties.
>>147920415
If someone makes it and it isn't me, I will cry. But first I need to finish a game so I can prove that I can make it.

I posted this before, but currently there are only unpolished grass and cliff tiles. I'm got like 20 new ones that aren't in the game yet and I'm gonna need a lot more which is what I'm drawing right now. I dread the moment when I'll have to start drawing my castle tiles.

I never got gud. Sleeping now.

>LOL, just terrible, one of the worst plataform games I've ever seen in my life. Terribly done, clearly unfinished, disgusting graphics and colours, horrible controllers... At least, I didn't pay a single buck for it. Got it on a 90% sale and still feel robbed, hehe. If you're into good Metroidvania titles, stay away from this heretic abomination.

>>147921707
real fucking funny isn't it? This is why I hate the internet, it's a necessity to make a living when youre a game designer like me but god damn there's al ot of fucking virtiolous trolls that are out there to just ruin an innocent hardworking father just because they want to get a sick laugh out of it. It's fucking disgusting how sick humanity falls just because it's got anonymity and thinks that it doesn't have to be responsible for any of the shit it spews out, but thank god there's movements that are going to prevent and remove online anonymous prescence in the future - people are going to have to grow the fuck up and stop acting like its 5th grade just because they think they can get away waith it. your shit might be "humerous" but its not fucking funny when it's hurting the lives and families of REAL PEOPLE.

>>147922028
Man I wish I could do graphics. What are some tips you can give me?

>>147922089
People on Steam really aren't anonymous though. In fact they probably have all of their social media linked to somewhere in their profile, just go ahead and do whatever it is that you'd do to people were they not behind a veil of anonymity.

>>147922028
why he throwin' bananas n shiet das racist

>>147922196
My graphics are shit don't do that.

Anyhow:
Read a book.
Practice daily, if just a little.
Get constructive criticisms from artists.

Just try to beat me

What should I make the goal look like?

>>147922421
Aside from the beginning there's not much about it that suggests haunted house, but OK I guess, it's not like the game's ruined.

Free released 2D or 3D cute girl when?

>>147922541
not really meant to be scary. It has that castlevania kind of feel to it imo.

>>147918887
Here is the gameplay: https://youtu.be/DtKPWcLdnE8

Okay, that should be all the play requests i got so far.

You could have made one in the time it took you to make all these posts

Finnish flag. Make it work like the flagpoles in the original SMB rather than SMB3

98/56.

Are you satisfied? I'm satisfied.

At least I know people are interested.

>>147921964
I didn't know you could clickspam those seemingly useless circle things like that. I've been building chain like a pleb this whole time.

Thanks for the strat.

>>147922229
that mjoller dude is a real piece of shit though. that nigger went and cried to reddit and wound up causing all sorts of problems.

look at this shit:

this is just unacceptable.

Isn't the dev of this a cunt? I was on a /v/ thread yesterday and asked some dev about his game. Then this Endica asshole bumps in, quotes my post and links HIS greenlight. Not the one I was asking about.

>>147922729
Reading that actually made me more sympathetic for the guy.

Just stop man, you're just burying yourself deeper.

That's the Idea. Rock did nothing wrong, the game that was made was literally an amature game dev game and he wanted to show world his creation. Then cunts went and attacked for no reason other than hilarouis hyjinks. Its shit like that that makes me so afraid every day for my life that someone is goign to throw a brick through my window or break in and hurt my wife and son, and yet people feel entitled when tit comes to video games? Gamers are entitled shits and I reall yjust want honest opinions on Envica VII. It's my dream game.

Is there a rule on Steam against getting your friends to give your game a good review?

>>147922729
Uh...I think you may be the fucked up one anon. If someone doesn't like your shit game they're allowed to write a negative review.
