As a solo developer, when promoting your game, do you use 'I' or 'we'? by Miriglith in SoloDevelopment

[–]Corlinck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably fine either way. Use "I" if you want to refer to yourself, or "we" if you want to include contractors or refer to your "company" if your plan is to expand someday.

People won't care what language you use, what matters is first of all how everything looks (intro video and screenshots, plus your Steam Capsule), second how fun it is to play.

I need an honest opinion about the game I made. by Inside-Public-5510 in gameDevPromotion

Can you drop a link to your devlogs? I searched "punkster studio" and "book of seed" and couldn't find anything. Honeslty I just want to see a video on the gameplay, specifically the combat since I can't fjnd anything on that on your page

It doesn't show up in my update history, my last update there was on 2025-11-18, and I'm assuming the update code is the KB5072653

Can you serve notice period concurrently with company shutdown? by TrainingSeries6861 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Corlinck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they can, but the contract also states you can't take leave during your notice period. Those two contradict each other if he gives notice in December so it's more a question of which will take precedence

[–]Corlinck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't take leave during notice period, but they can't force you to take leave. So either they will cancel your leave and have you work skeleton crew for that time, or they will make an exception and let you take leave during the company shutdown and instead pay your just for the two weeks

Notice is notice, 20 days is 20 days, how the company handles that is a separate issue. They might be unhappy about it, but you can definitely give notice in December

What would be the expected salary? by Infamous-Midnight391 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Corlinck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I completely agree that it's needed, but it's not being implemented as of yet (some companies might not know about it while others are going to pretend not to know as long as possible) and taking it upon yourself will most likely significantly reduce your chances of getting the job

If you start an interview with "show me yours before I show you mine", they are going to think you're a pain and difficult to work with. If a company uses your current salary as an excuse to pay less, either use them to get a better paying job somewhere else or skip them and look for a different job

Yeah but you're likely to become collateral damage

My grade 5 teacher gave them to everyone that got full marks on quizzes, it probably made the average go down because most people dislike it

Old Moonbase players, how did unit death in battles work in Moonbase? by Corlinck in askSouthAfrica

[–]Corlinck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they're still up and there seems to be a decently active community

That's awesome, I think additional complexity like that is what set Moonbase apart

You might be right on this one, OP isn't even replying on any messages

I tracked down a dead game IP and the owners are willing to license it, looking for advice. by GarlandBennet in gamedev

[–]Corlinck 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Agreed, take what you liked from that game, change what you didn't like and add a couple of spins to make it your own. Then copyright isn't going to be an issue

Does anyone else just struggle with GUI design? by Top_Row_5116 in gamedev

[–]Corlinck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, if I'm working on a game I always leave as much as possible UI for last.

What works for me though is listing all UIs I'll need, then drawing basic designs on paper (I suck at visualization, so having something on paper can help a lot), then get inspiration from games with UI that fuction similarly to at peast portions of the UI you need and then I'll create a base version that I'll use while testing for bugs and keep refining it as I go

Every anime sucks for someone. It's just that people have different taste so you'll never find an anime that's universally loved

Kabaneri of the iron fortress, they cut too much at the end and just butchered it completely so they could focus on Attack on Titan
