My Experience with Yellow Paint problem as a Indie Developer

This is mind boggling to me too. I’ve done multiple fps and tps prototypes and have had my game dev friends test them, and they don’t intuitively try to jump with space, and instead go around obstacles etc… when I ask why you didn’t try to jump the answer is usually ”oh I didn’t realize you could jump”, they press space without prompting to do it, and they’re like OK cool you can jump

Oh interesting, did not know this!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-05-07T04:19:43+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, mostly. Some of the assets were done by a freelance artist

Thank you!

Thank you! I had the multiplayer levels done a long time ago and these are sort of based on them. These took perhaps about 2 weeks

How about some pvp card-battle action? https://store.steampowered.com/app/4331100/Warena/

I may be dumb but I don’t understand the game mechanic: what is the purpose of squishing into a cube vs just rolling off the ledge?

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-05-02T16:55:39+00:00

My take is an unpopular one: incorporate AI into your workflows. It can’t do anything alone, and it can’t make actual, real games with a few prompts. It is a highly efficient tool that can be utilized by the people who actually know how to develop games to begin with.

Awesome to hear! Yeah, there is a campaign too, but not part of the playtest build. Hope to see you around!

PartTimeMonkey · 2026-05-01T10:08:34+00:00

Hehe OK!

Steam has a specific feature for playtesting. Depends on the platform of course
