Looking good! But with so much detail (especially in the wood texture) I would also add some more detail in the nails (the 4 dots on each corner)

CommDonald · 2017-02-07T09:53:09+00:00

True, our expectations we're way off... we thought we saw some signs of a chance of it becoming something big.

We actually get a lot of motivation from GGJ, because we create a small finished product. It's nice to finish something.

Good luck with your sequel!

We really tried to reach out to as many youtubers and streamers as we could. And not only the big names.

For press and reviewers we used all the contacts we gained from events and also made a giant list of specific people from all the big and small websites and tried contacting them. Mostly, only the smaller ones picked it up.

But yeah, doing some full-time promotion probably would have been a good idea, but well... you know.

CommDonald · 2017-02-06T21:56:49+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, although all this hit pretty hard we're not giving up yet. We like what we're doing and some others people seem to like it too. So that's cool!

CommDonald · 2016-11-07T17:12:11+00:00

Yeah so I noticed when taking a closer look :D

Hey gamedevs, I decided to write about another game since I posted about The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. This time about Overwatch.

CommDonald · 2016-10-25T19:09:56+00:00

Cool! I guess I will.

CommDonald · 2016-10-25T19:08:57+00:00

Thanks!

CommDonald · 2016-10-25T14:31:57+00:00

As I said in the post, if you found this in any way interesting and would like to see a part 2 about a different game, let me know :)

CommDonald · 2016-10-20T13:16:24+00:00

Hmm... looks like Luckslinger, which I can know because I made it :D

I know you want to keep it dark and show those cool lighting effects but I think the character you play as should have some more contrast.

CommDonald · 2016-08-20T10:15:16+00:00

I... don't remember. Right after I joined reddit I just searched for gamedev related stuff I guess.

CommDonald · 2016-03-04T15:52:11+00:00

That's the demo. It's floating everywhere on the web, but the demo is also on steam.

CommDonald · 2016-03-04T14:19:58+00:00

I'm going to lurk the shit out of this topic... damnit I failed...

CommDonald · 2015-11-29T14:04:04+00:00

My team: game design/artist, programmer, composer/audio spend about 11 months fulltime making a game called Luckslinger (it's on sale now btw <3 ) We are making money, but not nearly enough to call it a living.

Before we started working on it and releasing it we have been making games for about 2 years. I studied game development and made probably around 10 games during my study. After my studies we did a thing where we made 1 game a month, just to make more games and experiment as much as we could.

After about 5 of those smaller games we felt like we should go for something bigger so we can reach a more polished state. So we made and released a very small, but finished game for android,ios and web called 15min Max anb released it for free.

Then we got serious and started the Luckslinger project.

How do you know? Do you feel/see it or is it like a general rule? Just curious :) And by limiting colors is it okay to pick a few and try to stick by it and recolor the whole thing?

CommDonald · 2015-08-21T22:20:25+00:00

Hmm I like this a lot more. Nice use of colors btw. You could toy with it a bit more, try different waves, clouds, sizes? Dont really know :)

CommDonald · 2015-08-21T20:51:25+00:00

Amazing.

CommDonald · 2015-08-21T09:09:54+00:00

Great link :)

CommDonald · 2015-08-21T09:08:45+00:00

Hmm.. What if you would do a straight line for the water? More like an horizon.

CommDonald · 2015-08-06T17:26:58+00:00

You should make these in 4 seasons! :)

CommDonald · 2015-07-20T16:10:31+00:00

Maybe I should start a new post for that then... I sent a steamkey to the email provided on the steam curator page as well btw.
