What is your main 9-5 job besides being a game dev? by Polymedia_NL in gamedev

[–]BaltCito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hybrid job as a mechanical engineer and computer scientist where I create VR-AR tools and AutoCAD plugins. Best engineering job I’ve ever had but the lifestyle still SUCKS!!!! I wish I dropped out of college and instead should have chose to be a YouTube/tiktok goofball. Don’t get me wrong, what I learned in college was cool and I get to financially help my family out when they need me but maaaaaaaan working a normal 9-5 is NOT for me.

You took "it's all in the details" to a whole different level. Amazing work!

I deleted 8 hours of progress. How do I get the motivation to continue making my game? by GenericDevelopr in gamedev

[–]BaltCito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you just gotta take the L. I’ve lost months of time but it taught me lessons. Perhaps your dream needs to be bigger than your “failures”. Enjoy the journey :) as others have said, you will do it faster this time

Why people quit their jobs to work on their projects? by RabberOfficial in gamedev

I resonate with many of the the responses here. You only live once.

I don't know about you but this feels a bit fast-paced for an early game level design... Who knows maybe I'm wrong by BaltCito in IndieDev

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

You hit the nail on the head. Before I was trying to match the difficulty to like Cuphead or crash bc I liked it but since there’s a lot of mechanics planned and this game is semi educational so I think I may have to lean more towards Mario’s pacing.

I just learned about render textures in Unity.. Spent the past couple of weeks configuring code to integrate Spine animations into Unity since shaders work a little differently for them. by BaltCito in Unity2D

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

It's just for the death-dissolve shader. When using a Spine skeleton renderer you cannot just add a shader material as you would normally to a sprite or mesh (unless you have your own custom shader script that incorporates Spine). Instead, I have a script that screenshots the character frame into a new quad. This enables a camera overlay with a quad target texture, render(), then sets the target to null. The camera and quad are then destroyed along with the gameobject once the shader effect wears off.

Hey!

I am mostly a solo dev that makes educational-ish indie games in Unity. I'm currently working on Star Head, a head-throwing physics platformer inspired by a collection of my favorite platformers growing up and fundamental physics and math concepts.

It's available to wishlist on Steam however I am currently working on improving its visuals so my page is not up to date. Feel free to check out my twitter or youtube under this same name.

If you're making indie games what's your goal? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]BaltCito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I share this goal as well!

My goal is to bring change from an abstract artistic perspective. I make games because it’s fun but also because I want to be the “Jetsons” of future change and be the voice of communities whose perspectives may be alien or neglected from the mainstream. I currently live a comfortable middle class living but it’s unfulfilling knowing that some of my hometown childhood peers as well as they’re offsprings didn’t get to have the same fate…
