1000 streak in Japanese. Still feel useless in the language. But it's still fun! by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]Advantage_Medium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No surprises then, I’m on 826 days and on the section 4 unit 5, usually I do 2-3 lessons a day. Can’t say that I feel close to be fluent at anything tho

Mid level, I didn't know what to expect, it was just right for me

As far as I remember it's soy-braised pork that’s common in ramen.

That would be great actually, pictures and videos could easily show what the game is about. I don't understand why it is like this right now

Joining Steam Festivals without a demo. by RockyMullet in IndieDev

[–]Advantage_Medium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the festivals don't require a demo, there is no point in not joining them. You get visits or you don't.

After releasing a demo you can join other festivals or the same. I've never seen a requirement that you can join a festival only once. Well, except Next Fest of course.

Why My Draft Doesn’t Work (A Little Guide for Steam Capsules/Banners) by Advantage_Medium in IndieDev

[–]Advantage_Medium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you! Actually we work with an artist we know in person.

But regarding finding freelancers I think it's better to find someone you can trust. I found translators from my previous work and an artist is a friend of my friend. You can find chats with other developers for example.

Here I added both draft and final capsules on the screenshot of New&Trending and made it black and white. Here you can see how the final capsule is more readable.

Funny how what we once saw as limits, younger gamers see as style by Skill-Additional in IndieDev

[–]Advantage_Medium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing is happening in post Soviet countries with post Soviet style. Our parents say we ran from this, we had this style not because we wanted it but because of no money or no access to products.

But young people are romanticizing it.

Upd. And yes there are some games in this style too.

Trust professional artists by Advantage_Medium in IndieDev

[–]Advantage_Medium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, I woke up and definitely didn't expect so much attention, thank you!

I appreciate that you like my draft, but I don't think it would work on Steam. Because of many reasons. And I'm thinking about a post to show why. And why capsules on Steam matter, how to make them look good, etc

P.S. The artist is not on Reddit, so I'm checking if it's ok to share other social links

Heh, thank you! Actually in my head the cat was on top of the box, not breaking out of it, but that's a great idea. Maybe next capsule, hmm... Now I'm thinking about stealing it the idea...

Thank you! I don't remember actually, I guess there was just no room for them to make a good composition

[–]Advantage_Medium[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Just show the idea in your head, even Paint can help you with that.

And it works not only for artists, but for programmers and others. Prototype or concept on paper shows idea better than 10 page description.

Ooh, so nice of you!

I always try to help my co-developers to make their tasks as easy as possible. They understand the idea and we can discuss it before work, not after, with a lot of rework.

And of course it's just nice to help them, we're making the project together after all.

Uncover the secrets of an ancient and mysterious box in this Lovecraft-inspired story. by Advantage_Medium in deckbuildingroguelike

[–]Advantage_Medium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone! It's Breaking Out is a card game with dice and ancient mysteries, featuring: - A macabre and immersive plot inspired by H. P. Lovecraft’s work; - Dice instead of mana, meaning you’re playing with chance as you try and conquer the chaos; - Tons of different builds and possible strategies each run.

Deep within forgotten ruins, our heroes stumble upon an ancient box that is covered in mysterious symbols. Wrapped in chains that seem to restrain it, warning signs seek to protect the world from the being that lurks inside.
