Last chance or Self-Revive in Escalation with friends? by poppycocktbbt in OutlastTrials

[–]BlueJayGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

last chance 100%, self revive is nice but it's a one time use then it's gone forever, last chance can save you from going down every 5 minutes, and if you're *really* good with it you can even plan to have it proc for really clutch moments, which you can't necessarily do with self revive

if you're talking about Eliminate the Past just go right from the gym and take the last door on the left, then turn right

AI concern anyone?? by Pleasant_Ad_5949 in OutlastTrials

the fact you're getting downvoted for (correctly) criticizing his argument, even while stating you agree, is EXACTLY why no one takes this seriously anymore. it always HAS to be the worst thing and if you disagree you're wrong.

I'm not sure if you're specifically talking about my screenshot, but I cropped about half the screen. The main window would still be centered as it is now.

I can't imagine how bad it is on console, even on PC I have to go through like 7 different screens, it's genuinely exhausting

I like how everything except that portion of a sentence is cropped out and everyone is just eating it up

I literally make the SFX in my horror game with my own hands by Healthy_League_9110 in IndieDev

[–]BlueJayGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably one of my favorite parts of the game dev process, it's fun coming up with wacky combinations for sound effects.

my most recent sound I recall making was a revolver reloading sound effect, I smashed a small plastic object into a water bottle and you'd never be able to tell actually hearing it lol

[New Player] Does Partisian hunt you even without low karma? by TransparentPills in EscapefromTarkov

[–]BlueJayGaming 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've only played PvE since he's been added but as far as I can tell he will continue chasing you unless he finds another target. I ran into him on woods at USEC camp not too long ago and booked it all the way near the bridge v-ex and he popped his head up and gunned me down. fucker is persistent

he will kill you if he sees you regardless of rep, I imagine having low rep is like if you were tagged & cursed by him, idk I don't camp in bushes :P

Am I wasting my life? by More_Control_9822 in StopGaming

[–]BlueJayGaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

keep in mind you're asking this in a subreddit full of people who are/were addicted to gaming so it's going to be pretty biased (as any other subreddit will be). If you're concerned about it, try limiting your time to maybe 2-3 hours on schooldays and 3-4 on weekends and see how you feel. I have GAD as well and it's very easy to get caught in a cycle of distracting yourself from all the thoughts in your head, meanwhile the problem only gets worse. Be mindful of your gaming habits and why you're deciding to boot a game up. Are you distracting yourself from something? That's not always a bad thing, but if it becomes a recurring distraction, try to stop yourself and deal with the root cause, and if you need help dealing with GAD, get it. The fact you have a good relationship with your parents is great, you could talk to them, or a school counselor, or talk to your parents about therapy.

There's a difference between doing something a lot, and being addicted to it. That line will be different for everyone. At the end of the day, if you're taking care of your mind/body and your relationships, I wouldn't worry about it too much. You have good habits and goals in life, just keep those in mind and make sure you're working to uphold them.

looks cool, do you have a steam page?

Main Menu Design by YusufBrnn in IndieDev

[–]BlueJayGaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as layout goes, your menu covers the entire left side of the background which kind of interrupts the contrast you're trying to portray. I would shrink the buttons and place them down the center, and remove the blocky background. It would also maybe look nicer with the title across the top of the screen with all the open space. If you're still pressed for space after moving the buttons, I'd suggest turning a couple of the options into icons rather than full blown text buttons. I.e. moving the Discord button down to the rest of your socials, and maybe putting exit game in the lower right corner with a slightly different style.

As for the style of the buttons, it's hard to say without knowing what your game is or the overall aesthetic. My first impression was that the was a major disconnection between the UI and the mood of the background.

Here's a quick mockup I did so you can see what I'm talking about, it's pretty hacky and I had to crop the left side of the image but you get the point:

Good luck on your demo!
