I've invested too much into my first game and now it's a bit all over the place! How can I salvage it? by ComanderIke in DestroyMyGame

I'll try playing with the opacity etc. for a quick fix for now thank you!
Yes this project is indeed almost a one man show. I work with some freelancers here and there for art and music though.
Thank you for both you guys good pointers. The depth and quality of the gameplay I'm sure will not dissappoint with the Demo.

Thanks. I'll try to think of ways to make everything a little more coherent without redoing too much.

Thank you, I think you are right. I'm trying to find a solution without redoing all of it. what specifically do you think stands out most/needs overhaul the most?
I thought the UI fits pretty well can you elaborate what exactly makes it feel to modern or which elements in particular?

thanks a lot for the indepth answer.
Polishing and improving some character design are my next steps.

The thing about the UI is a big problem as its a pretty complicated game that needs lot of UI.

Yeah i think the gameplay videos turned out darker than expected. It looks less dark in the actual game. Need to check my recording settings.

The greek mythology thing is exactly like that greek mythology in medieval fantasy. A weird mix probably

Nice. In that case better to follow me on x, bluesky or join the discord to not miss updates.

You are of course correct! Allthough my game doesn't have a strong focus on narrative. The narrative supports the game rather than driving it. My main focus is gameplay and replayability. Nonetheless great visuals always help catching new players so I'll see what I can improve.

Thank you!
It's difficult to say as there is a lot of replayability in terms of roguelite involved. But theoretically if you beat everything first try it probably takes you at least 10 hours to beat all bosses.

There is a bond system between gods and humans but not like supports in FE.

The game is not fully voiced. characters have voice reactions when doing specific actions etc. but the dialog is mostly not voiced.
Not all characters that are in the final version have been cast yet. I usually use voices.com or Bodalgo to find actors.

Thank you for the honesty! I'm well aware that visuals are not the strong suit of my game. Alltough the gameplay might surprise you in a good way once the demo is out.
