True! but I hope the one that we're currently living in will end well though 😅

I love that 🔥
I have no experience in lighting and shadow rendering, that's a topic I'd love to pursue eventually when the right project will fit. It can enhance a boring game big time.

That's a good goal 👌
Do you already have an idea in mind?

Impressive for a team that played yesterday

Totally agree!
Every time I bring this up to someone they're like "git gud" or "it would remove the reward system of the game and denature the game"

I don't know, I play games for fun not as a torture.

Playing Gex instead of Hotel Mario on the left TV 😱

Definitely a contender for the speedrun of "How fast can I throw up" 😆

At this point, I simply treat it as another "label", like a genre, because people can slap whatever they want on Steam and call a banana an apple. It's just marketing, and appearance.

Does it change the perception of people? Yes.

Does it make the game better or worse because of it? No.

We live in a time where a solo dev that never opened a game engine can make a masterpiece out of pure passion.
You don’t need to be a veteran to make a fun a game.

I always love the

"I'll buy when the game is going to be on the Nintendo Switch"

as if it's just a "Export > Nintendo Switch", here, done.

Yeah I really think it's my own problem.
It's like I put marketing before the creation itself, instead of the opposite. I should create something, then find a way to market instead of filtering out my ideas by "how marketable it is", if you know what I mean.

and that's why it's fun!

I’m a big laptop user and this was very annoying with the small screen. Thank you 🙏

I miss this. I miss carefully selecting a handful of songs to burn on a disc. Then spending too much time thinking about the perfect order to transition my mood and burning the disc very slowly so that the songs won't skip. What a trip!

Making a playlist on Spotify is nowhere near this feeling.

I feel you, but don’t give up. This is precious experience that you can learn from!

I think your game looks fun but my guess would be that the beat em up genre is far from being a popular genre, unless you’re backed by a big IP (Marvel Cosmic) or you’re a dev with previous successes (Absolum).

Effort isn’t enough nowadays unfortunately

I hope your next game will be successful 🙏

That’s so cool, especially with the amount of games released every year!
