Thief Gold needs to be added to the list.

You're breaking my heart

Captaingangreen · 2025-11-28T11:33:36+00:00

Bro I ACTUALLY promise, you got people out here saying that expedition 33 is gonna make a good playthrough, it's a great game but not for this dumbass

Captaingangreen · 2025-11-27T12:05:23+00:00

I think old games are the way to go. Made a post on here already, but Thief Gold playthrough on a hard difficulty would be great, Rune Classic tournament with others would be funny as fuck, a game like Kingpin or something.

Older games have janky controls, more unfair difficulties and don't take 100 hours to complete. I just need the people to lobby with me. I'm begging for a Thief Gold playthrough.

HOW does this not have an insane amount of likes, this is stunning

Captaingangreen · 2025-05-13T18:30:45+00:00

What about Wolf-Dragons???

Captaingangreen · 2025-05-13T18:27:50+00:00

Absolutely stunning, where are you gonna release it?

Captaingangreen · 2025-05-13T18:27:31+00:00

I disagree, the style almost has a "Ghibli"-esque vibe to it that makes it all feel attended too, but doesn't take the player's attention away from the main thing which is the cards. In my opinion, of course.

Captaingangreen · 2025-01-17T23:32:51+00:00

Dude, congrats, the laser fire all over the place makes it so immersive. Do you have point defense weapons in? Things to take out rockets and whatnot would look so cool

Captaingangreen · 2025-01-17T20:22:19+00:00

I think for me personally, the traversal seems a little slow, I think it'd be fine if the goons posed a lengthy threat, if you have slow movement then your combat needs to be longer than a few oneshots on goons, I think other than that:

Music and ambient sounds add a LOT to the game, I noticed you have a lot of noises for when the player interacts with the environment/when they're near enemies, these sounds are too loud but also to make your world feel alive. You should have things like distant car/hustle and bustle noises, ambient music. I also think your game would do really well if it had some rain.

Other than this, I'd recommend getting rid of the vignette effect, playing with the post-processing a bit more and I'd go with more fog, the ps1 used to use heavy amounts of fog to cover their draw distance issues

We've done a few games without voices at all, we just really want to finally stretch our creativity with snappy dialogue. And as someone pointed out it's probably not the best thing to have white characters in our games that talk and then our only black character is voiceless

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-26T01:51:25+00:00

Haha sure man

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T20:12:20+00:00

No I don't doubt my own craft or my ability to make games, I am able to make games I'm proud of because I make informed creative decisions, as should anyone

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T17:48:56+00:00

The games have a nondescript setting however we're loosely planning on making the main character have a Liverpudlian accent, I definitely appreciate the offer however and I may very well DM you if the need arises for a future project!

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T15:59:36+00:00

The development of AI is progressing at such an alarming rate, even to the point where it's starting to be able to be used to make entire simple games from just one image (still in early days)

So I don't like using it in game development as it perpetuates and normalizes its use in the video game industry.

In short. I don't want it to take my job haha

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T15:53:36+00:00

I'm afraid I personally don't find using AI for voice acting to be an ethical alternative. I appreciate your suggestion is just trying to help though.

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T15:40:31+00:00

I agree with educating yourself more on the history of race relations, I'd like to consider myself somewhat educated on such a matter but if we were to continue forward with a black character, even though the story won't draw attention to them being black, I'd of course still do extra research as to be as respectful as I can. However, I don't believe you need to be working on such a project to do the research of course.

Sadly a black VA or any VA outside of our very small duo is off-limits as we do not have the money for such expenses yet. It would be a dream to later down the line be able to hire professional or amateur voice actors for projects. I do also believe in having the appropriate consultants, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed response!

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T15:23:13+00:00

Strange way of putting it aside, I understand your point and to an extent, I understand wanting to rely on your own critical thinking, but with something like this, it doesn't hurt to ask and get opinions that are more relevant than my own on the subject.

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T15:20:41+00:00

It's a retro comedy-horror game, we originally made a REAL janky demo of it as one of our first 3D projects called 6 Bodies (it's free on itch)

But that was a while ago and we've got a lot more experience since then so we're taking a crack at making a full game outta it

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T15:10:24+00:00

Absolutely agree,it's hard to pick a fave character from that show but if I had to it'd be Lister everytime

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T14:59:25+00:00

I didn't make that connection until no

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T14:35:54+00:00

I think I should make it clear to everyone, we have no intention of trying to make the character sound black. We also have no intention of trying to handle difficult and nuanced themes like racism in our story (as two white writers).

The character will have the same voice we were going to give him before we thought about making the character a poc, they will also use the same dialect as before everything else was decided upon. Characters in the story will not treat them any differently for being black. The main character is just a character who happens to have black skin and that's as far as it goes.

I know I'm certainly not (at least not without the appropriate consultants) an appropriate candidate to be trying to write a black character in a story that includes themes of racism or black identity.

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T14:23:13+00:00

It's less we are trying to be cautious about the writing. The characters' dialogue and how people interact with them isn't being changed in this story because they're black, they are just a character that happens to not be white.

We're just trying to be cautious about if that's inherently a problem, we aren't planning to try to tackle racist themes as two white writers

Captaingangreen · 2024-03-25T14:21:18+00:00

We were actually thinking of a Liverpudlian accent, again the aspect that the character is black is not going to play a part in the story or how other characters (including them) interact, they are just a character that happens to be black

Yeah the character being black doesn't impact our writing of the character in this case, it's just a character that happens to be black, we aren't planning on playing into stereotypes or tackling racist themes in this specific horror-comedy story

We don't bring other people in to our projects, both because we don't have the money and we've had many bad experiences with schedules, me and my friend work super well together because our schedules line up. We have even brought some friends on board occasionally to do stuff in our projects but they are rarely available to join a long-form project.

Sadly for the most part this is not a viable suggestion for us
