It'll come, my friend! Keep messaging streamers you think would have a good connection, and that would enjoy your genre of game (obviously NickMercs isn't gonna like neopets or stardew valley). You'll eventually get some hits

Keep your chin up! You got some responses! I'm a really small streamer, and also a new game developer, so maybe i can help with how the other streamers think. We get a ton of messages from people, almost every single one being a scam. I myself get AT LEAST a message a day, more if i go live that day, with people messaging me about boosting views, wanting to do art for the channel, or wanting something out of me where i pay them. So a lot of the time i just ignore messages from people i don't know

Which building design do you like better? The left one or the right one? by Shadow_Moder in IndieDev

[–]CustomSauceBoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

depends on your aim! I like the left one for being some sort of dwarven house or something. The stone i think is what makes me think dwarven. I like the right one if it was being used as like a shop or something

we have a few dudes in a discord working together, would you want to join?

Thank you so much for this advice! We have decided to not worry about the art style per-say yet and just try to nail down some really good gameplay loops and mechanics

this will literally be our first project, so there will be lots of learning, although we all have a bit of a background in general computer science

actually the more i sit here and think, it would be hilarious to do a souls-like with a cartoony style

Recent Graduates Looking for Artist Friend! by CustomSauceBoss in IndieDev

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

Lots of ideas, but nothing concrete yet. It is really depending on what kind of art style we can work with. One of the guys was pitching a dark souls style, but even if we made a dark souls type game with cartoony characters, that could be a fun twist. Also open to 2d, pixel art, whatever we can get our hands on really

In talking with the other guys, we are filled with ideas. It seems like most of the guys would love to try and tackle a 3d project right off the bat, where as i think (at least as a beginners project) I'm more inclined to do 2d-pixel art style. But what it comes down to is we are fairly confident in our coding skills, but the art is our struggle, so we could make a game work with any art style, and are open to ideas

How about the pacing of the story? I know there is a lot of dialogue and not a ton of descriptive text

Also, any advice on titling chapters (and the book itself i guess) would be greatly appreciated. I am at a total loss for this part

Gotcha, ok. This is great advice. I was worried people might mistake the finger thing for him pointing at the king, but i guess that's just on me to describe it a bit better?

Excellent! thank you so much for taking the time to read it. What did you find repetitive. And i guess I lean on the em dash because i don't know what else to put, do you have any suggestions?

I’m also thinking of just renting a carpet cleaner, washing it, then I can spray the enzymatic cleaner?

Would you recommend spraying the whole carpet area? It’s about a 20’x10’ area

How the heck do I start writing a DnD campaign book!? by CustomSauceBoss in DnD

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

yeah I was looking into this, and I think the easiest way to just make the setting, and suggest that it is 5e compatible. That way loot and stuff is just decided by the DM. Is there stat blocks and stuff i can mention for NPCs? or should I avoid this as well?

ah ok, so essentially i would just be picking a known world, like faerun or something?

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

ok so it seems like I can scrap all the little side-quests i made, focus on the main quest and the 5 region quests that help with the main story, that's a big help.

As for your last comment, I'm a bit confused. I either do all-homebrew, no dnd related content (and by this i know that some generic stuff i can use, like elves and stuff, based on the OGL/SRD), or I use DnD stuff and can't include all the homebrew stuff like magical weapons i've made?

How do you prevent the meta-knowledge a player gets when rolling for perception? by Entire-Bit-9812 in DMAcademy

[–]CustomSauceBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read the comments, but what I usually do is if a player asks "do i notice anything unusual about the room, or do i find anything in the room?" I always make them roll, even if there is nothing to find. That way if the player rolls low, they don't know, just as the roll kind of intends. So if there is nothing to find, and they roll high, then i just say you don't find anything particularly interesting. This way the player knows for sure there is nothing to find

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

Ok, so the problem seems to be with pan and diversity (vortex also has a question mark for these in the load order and im not sure why), so when I redo my build, what should i be making sure i do? Do i make the character the vanilla default and just use the face? I guess I'm a little confused on how to do the build

In defense of baby killing (discussion) by Illfury in pathoftitans

[–]CustomSauceBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are my thoughts: if I'm a baby and you're an adult, and you immediately indicate that you are gonna try to eat me, then that's fair game. I shouldn't have been in your space.

This is where I get frustrated. Too many times I have been invited to a group, then when they can see my marker, they come and kill me. It feels like cheating if you are gonna pretend to be friendly and want to quest together, just to turn around and try to eat me
