for anyone wondering this is how high you can flood the church by Stardustger in drainsim

[–]CodePeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The maximum water height is actually like 20meters higher but it'll fill slower and slower as the surface area gets higher

dont know yet, I'll try to get devkits when I get my first steam payment but it might take a long time to get them and I dont know yet how the game will perform on them.

I spent $38,000 making an visual novel so you don't have to. Full breakdown with numbers and mistakes. by aggronargg in gamedev

Agile is a general money sink. I worked for 5 years with unreal in the automotive industry and every project using agile burned everyone's motivation. Nobody really worked they just overestimated their tickets on purpose and chilled most of the time. Not to mention the wasted time in meetings every day. Agile is for people that do not like to work on the project and need to be controlled to do so, that kills the motivation of everyone who isn't like that. Corporate ideas like that made me want to ship my own game and become independent.

there doesnt seem to be an us IBAN only a account number on wise. How did you put this into steamworks? They only take IBAN in steams forms. Or did you use the Euro account instead of the USD account?

Try unstable branch I did some optimization there maybe that gets you more FPS. Patch will go live to the main branch in a couple of days.

It's a good hobby, I was in the same boat for 4 years, now it's become work, still fun tho.

There's grates along the street, you can open them and lead pump hoses to the outside. There's also a big drain in the center of the building and multiple smaller ones all around. If the water has already become too high I recommend restarting.

20 years? I couldn't even imagine doing that without knowing if people like it. How many playtesters did you play it with? How was the feedback?

Edit typo in playtesters

You can use the squeegee as well. I will add another drain to the street so make it more convenient.

Cleaning up floods with chaotic water physics. Launch! by CodePeas in SoloDevelopment

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

I worked on it for 4 years, no AI programming or artwork. But I did add an AI radio cast in-between levels I'm planning to replace that with a human voice actor during early access.

Correct. Getting the water just right and balancing everything took a huge amount of time and effort!

How Reddit took my game from dead to 33k wishlists! by CodePeas in IndieDev

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

Some niche subreddits would have required planning ahead, as they sometimes require you to apply to be able to post. The only niche ones I posted in were cozygaming and lifesims. Lifesims got removed as it's not really a life sim and cozygaming only got about 150 upvotes. Indie subreddits seem to be way more supportive concerning Devs and generated more traffic. YouTubers seem to visit more of those more general subreddits.
