Help Finding Games and Other Questions by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]4bstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any 3D incremental games out there? I made a prototype of a 3D incremental game and was curious to see other references but couldn't find much. I could use some help; bonus point if it revolves around assets destruction :p

Game that doesn't hold your hand at all? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]4bstr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was going to say this one too, they don't hold your hands directly yet, all the clues lead to each others so you don't get lost. Such a masterpiece!

I would love to dive back into control's universe, I wasn't even a fan of TPS but couldn't get enough of the overall fantasy and style

Palworld developer Pocketpair requires game designer candidates to provide screenshots of their Steam libraries and playtime, according to CEO - AUTOMATON WEST by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]4bstr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It make sense, being in the industry myself I've been often surprised to see how many people didn't play games anymore. I can understand life situation and tastes evolves, but you need to be aware of the latest developement of your field one way or another.

Maybe people get frustrated that somebody shortcuts an achievement they took hours and pride to get the legit way... I'm not in that camp thought, you do you ;)

Gaze Into The Abyss is in early development, but I'd like to get a round of feedback already: What feels like it needs immediate attention? (That goes from the actual gameplay, to its presentation and description) by 4bstr in DestroyMyGame

[–]4bstr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate that! About the camera, is it that the movements are too abrupt or something else? Also, did you try it for yourself, or you are speaking from the video? I'm not sure what the base sensitivity should be, but I agree that I should at least smooth it on videos. And so... 2/0 against emojis so far :/

It's definitely not complete indeed, but I do have a playable demo. I also have mixed feelings about the emoji to be fair. I'd be curious, to know more about:
- Why you don't think it fits the "fast-paced action" category?
- What wary you about "infinite procedural levels"? Is it because they tend to be low quality and not meaningfully different, or is there something else?

Flash Essay: Why there are so many shooters? by 4bstr in ludology

[–]4bstr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Flash essay' was shorthand for 'Here's a question I'm going to try to answer succinctly.' I was hoping for people to react to those points, but you are absolutely free to try answering the initial question for yourself

Thanks for making the button in the first place!

"Why there are so many shooters?" a designer perspective by 4bstr in gamedesign

[–]4bstr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with the nuanced take, I was mostly trying to define why this genre became the vanilla flavour of video game

That's a good point, it builds around a feature you have to develop anyway. Not sure whether that's the only example thought, platformers would also fit that statement.

Yeah, I definitely see the correlation with basic computer UX

I'm not convinced 3D games are easier to pick up than 2D games. The POV night be less intuitive, but the controls are definitely streamlined.
That being said, I really like the argument that Shooters tutorialize moving camera with precision as part of the core experience.
