Cut the trailer down by quite a lot.

Opinions please.
Think this will get me through greenlight?

(the music is placeholder, I'm gonna pay a guy to make some decent music for it when the trailer is finished.)

Less emphasis on your pretty weak looking attack animation. All the attack scenes follow the same beat so it gets repetitive and boring. Try and only show interesting things in each scene.

Good examples is hitting the rock back. Slipping under something and attacking twice. All the dodging scenes.

Timing of first part is no good. Maybe have drop in and then add the music in as a lead up.

>>157974013
i think you need to show more zones it seems kinda small in the trailer.

I'm going to try skeletal animation now, I hope it won't look horrible.
If it means I can quickly do more animations easily I can add more attacks and make a more cuhrayzee battle system.

i thought you were going to make your own adobe flash because you werent satisfied with any animation software?

>>157974013
And it's another 2D platformer that's all graphics and rest is shit.

>>157974529
Those sticks already look awful, and those controllers are even smaller than wiimotes which were already too small for my big gaijin hands.

Gonna need the """pro""" controller.

>>157974565
That was done a long time ago and I ditched it when CSP introduced animation.
Frame-by-frame animation is taking me forever so I'm trying skeletal now.

>>157974529
seems like you could very easily lose those detachable side controllers.

>>157974529
My game's controls kind of call for a shitton of buttons. I don't think it will work on a controller.

>>157974445
I tried it a few weeks ago. It feels really awkward. The quality dips hard with skeletal animations. If you still want to try, I recommend creature. No point in wasting money on spine when you dont know if you will like it. There are no "fixes" for Spine that lets you try it out. All the other software felt bad.

This is what I'm talking about re: lighting space. This is a directional light in this case, but the "ship" looks like complete shit because of the planet's occlusion but if I add some sort of small light near the ship you can tell the source isn't from the sun any more.

>>157977292
It's not a rythm game, it's furry "game".
Just stop.

>>157977305
Just slap emissive lights on the ship itself

>>157977292
Is that thing on the right supposed to be a dragon donkey cross-breed?

You could add some subtle rim lighting if you want some definition in the 'ambient' light

There are 2 things going on, the mesh generation which looks plain, and then there is the shader giving it the cool factor, here is another example of my shader.

Hey /agdg/, I know it's pixel shit, but how would I go about making that better? The focus is supposed to be on the fast gameplay and running and gunning Eldritch monsters, but I figured while I'm going for that cutesy look of my character, a lot of indie devs are "also going for that cutesy" look, these are the main assets I have. Feel free to tear my ass open about it but I'd appreciate how to improve to, thanks lads.

been adding a lot of gameplay/visual tweaks here and there, among the most important ones it's now possible to keep momentum from air time through holding a side direction, also a lot of new in between frames here and there
other stage sector is slowly coming along too
webm shows wip of new player markers, probably better than what was there before, need some good shaders on them though

Damn that sounds like bad news to me. Not a really big fan of skeletal animation and I think it will ruin your game's beautiful looks. Just my view on it.
Have you tried any software that generates inbetweens instead? You would probably have to draw a few extra frames, and maybe clean up a little after thoug.

Considering adding a Paper Mario TTYD/Kingdom Hearts type encyclopedia for items/creatures/topics the player comes across in the RPG I'm making.

Considering so far adding two main states - 'complete' and 'mention' kind of like how the Pokedex has different entries for a capture and just a discovery. Perhaps item tooltips could change depending on your knowledge of a item - only hearing about a legendary sword might give you some info but you wont be able to know the entirety of its effects until you see it first hand.

>Human clothing or human accesories

The image you posted is furry, Deal with it.

>>157978349
It's not a decision set in stone, it might not work out but I'll find out soon. I'm just one guy and a programmer first, if I can cut down art time it's a great thing for me since it's hard.
It's not even a problem of in-betweens, just drawing the key frames is time consuming.
Which software were you referring to specifically?

>>157979130
I guarantee you he either makes/made furry porn or masturbates to it, you don't draw that shit out of nowhere.

Again that's been in video games before. Furry or no doesnt mean it can't be something good.
Atleast it's something to look at.
It all got your attention good or bad that's all i need.
Your game isn't going to be fun if it doesn't have good visuals to back it up. My game is going to be toony bouncy and energetic and i'm pretty sure with these characetrs i've accomplish that. If it's furry then well ok.

Apparently I'm not on the right track. The import of those obj files didn't attach the textures automatically. The textures aren't even identifiable in their current form and I'm not going to click 100+ objects and add textures to them by trial and error.

Originally I imported the obj files into 3ds max, then converted that to blender eventually when 3ds max crashed and didn't want to run ever again even after hours of troubleshooting. That kept the textures connected.

This is starting to turn into a dead end and it's taking up way too much time just for a fucking placeholder. I'm continuing with the old model.

Making the stairs collision based is a pain in the dick. I had so much bugs on them that I went for an alternative approach. One object at the start and end of stairs. They detect the player and when you press up or down create a "player dummy" that isn't affected by gravity. It only goes up and down in diagonal direction and can attack like the normal player, and only will change into the original player when you reach the top or bottom of the stairs, or if an enemy hits you.
Ignore the mixels is just a test room.

I just want to help. Mine is in no way good enought to ask anything for it. That way of making the stairs worked better for me, but everything else (speed, gravity, and probably collisions) is a total mess compared to yours that looks way closer to the real game.

my game is a town building game where you build an RPG themed town and try to jew some gold, grow your villagers up so they can finish quests and eventually kill the final boss to end the game.

So, guys.
is it possible to greenlight the game and make 10k sales total in lifetime at $10?

>>157986456
Finishing games is important because it forces you to get good at the especially boring shit, like menus, options, and saving. However, forcing yourself to do these things when you're working on a jokey little shitgame is difficult because you know most if any people who play it are going to play it for a minute at most.

Work on some real shit, then you'll have a real reason to finish.

Like go apply for a product patent and the name of the game? If you publish your game through steam do they take care of it? What's the usual process here?

>>157988442
It's just a little tiny bit similar dude, it's not even the same art style.

>>157988558
Form a company and publish your game, Steam needs that for taxes. You don't patent anything.

An LLC or equivalent separates you from the company, if the company gets sued you're safe and not liable. If you form a sole proprietorship or something similar, if you get sued you risk losing your money,house,car etc.

Looks great. Progress is good.

I played with your logo a bit, see what you think.

>>157990539

>>157973652
basically that. draw stuff until it looks good.

free tips:

start with big, white circles. flashes on frame 1/2 look p good.
the smaller you make the next frame the faster the particle "contracts". usually you want to make the first few frames make it lose the most mass, then have it slowly fizz out.
if it's got a complex texture, tackle each individual part at a time then see if it works well together.
also make sure the backgrounds work with the particle. if it's got dark outlines, it will fade into a black background, but will contrast against a bright one.

most important one: particles gain a lot from moving or appearing in formations. try to think of some good behavior patterns for particles, so they look good. like making explosions travel actoss specific enemy parts, or shoot out in "whips" or those cool rotating circles of explosions in hard corps, etc.

that's all i can tell off the top of my head.

The art in that game is not terrible, especially since it's going for the old school FPS feel. There's definitely some things that could be improved like the HUD and some of the gun models. But it's still better than a lot of indie games.

Also since when did you think /agdg/ doesn't like low poly? Cause many people here do like low poly. Proper low poly, not the flat shaded "meme poly", which looks quite bad.

As for repetitive gameplay, there's nothing wrong with having something repeat as long as it's fun and challenging. That's kind of the whole point of a game, there's a gameplay loop that you go through that challenges you. Some games have a shorter loop, some a longer loop.

>>157991606
