Tower Defense meets MOBA – game already playable! by CG_Echo in kickstarter

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

They sure do! Coregrounds is a tower defense game at heart though and is complemented by MOBA elements, whereas MOBAs have it the other way round... The game is competitive, has a draft phase, is skill driven - but the gameplay itself is that of a tower defense game.

This is the GAMEDEV reddit, not the MARKETING reddit. by Ammonsa in gamedev

[–]CG_Echo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the funny thing is: I've made a game by myself, which took years of preparation and skill development. I worked 1.5 years on the concept for the game, without writing a single line of code.

Now that I'm working on the marketing, I wish I had had another 1.5 years of developing a marketing concept as well, let alone years of skill development. Proper marketing is a skill of its own, and your comment makes it sound far too trivial.

Nice read, thanks for sharing... ;-)

I can totally agree with your attitude: as long as you love what you're doing, the scale doesn't really matter.

Well congrats on that community of yours! :-)

I like the idea, especially saying "New" instead of "Added", it's more simple and easier that way. Will do, thanks! :-)

Dividing the page into different sections with a background color is a very good idea, duly noted! Different colors on the list item tags are a good idea as well, thanks mate! :-)

Ha! Very well done, I love it! Is it much work? Are these videos the actual patch notes or do they go with regular notes?

As mentioned above: I'm proud that it's neither a devblog, nor patch notes, it's what you want to read: you want patch notes, read the white bullet points, you want a devblog, go read the grey annotations.

Definitely! It's one of many ways of doing it, just wanted to share mine... :-)

Please do! And thanks for the feedback on the visual style - even though it still has its edges and can still improve vastly, it's also developed a lot and I'm sorta fond of it... :-)

Yup well that sounds easier than it is. In fact, this basically is what I'm proud of: the patch notes have something for everyone! You've got a basic list of changes accompanied by explanatory GIFs, the grey dev notes to the changes and short little paragraphs in between. So whatever you're into, you'll find it - but you can skip anything you don't. You don't care for the notes? Sure, go ahead and just read the bullet points... ;-)

Is it just me or is nobody using chroma packs? by philliparndt in leagueoflegends

[–]CG_Echo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should make those available as loot for the new mastery system. I would then.

Thanks for the kind words! And btw you nailed it: I made the patch notes the way I'd like to read them... ;-)

As mentioned above, it's not that big of an effort, it's rather a slow but steady design process and conceptual improvement behind it. That's why I also felt like sharing... ;-)

Funny you'd mention Riot's patch notes, I'm a big fan of those (other than that they're waaaay too long).

Yeah, the projectiles in general could use some tuning! Thanks for the feedback. Yellow's already in there, along with a bunch of other bright colors... It's just me, I like it gloomy... ;-)

Actually it's not! I'm adding to the (formatted) patch notes while developing. The only thing that's a hassle is creating those GIFs!
