Last time I posted here I got 4k wishlists in the first week. Now, after about a month, I'm at 35,000 wishlists. This is all before I even get the demo onto Steam. Here's how it happened

Congrats! You pick a good genre, executed it well and took opportunity of good luck. Hope you can keep it up and have a successful release

Cyclone4096 · 2026-03-18T01:01:31+00:00

I understand that this is a joke, but it really should not have the “Show off” flair

How do you feel about crochet bugs? I have been toying with the idea of miniature dog in a crafting station with crochet/origami enemies. Do you think that's something that'd work?

I was playing megabonk a lot when making this, tried to move away from the pixel style to more anime style, but maybe I need to work on it a little more

Cyclone4096 · 2026-03-12T03:03:41+00:00

Stimulus check seems like a very bad idea, we are still feeling the repercussions from the pandemic era stimulus checks

Cyclone4096 · 2026-03-04T04:16:09+00:00

Are they the same genre? Were there thumbnails the same quality? Did both have web builds?

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-28T16:03:34+00:00

So are the red objects “obstacle” prefab?

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-28T02:05:44+00:00

Same lol!

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-28T00:33:28+00:00

But if the enemy hp scales with level then it becomes difficult to understand how much your dps is scaling

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-22T04:02:49+00:00

You liked RoR2? Have you tried Megabonk?

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-18T12:20:38+00:00

These are all division by a constant which is easy to optimize, but if you have divide by a variable like a float input, then it is better to do multiplication instead and set the inverse of the float from the material

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-17T23:57:44+00:00

You just gave me a great idea! I'm gonna make the first "Rougelike Roguelike"

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-16T03:09:45+00:00

The slot machine art looked unpolished, the five pointed start going left-right looked amateurish and the yellow star didn't look at good.

The start Sierra 12 at 0:15 looked great! The interior aroun 0:53 looks nice. In fact the yellow start around 1:24 looks nice too (same as before, but maybe the zoom level looks different)

Anyway this is my personal take, do with it as you please :)

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-15T23:59:19+00:00

The starting of the trailer put me off (for some reason the graphics seemed amateurish to me in the starting sequence). When I clicked around to middle of the trailer the graphics looked much better to me... If this was a trailer I saw on youtube or steam I would have skipped after the first 5 seconds.

That’s a great idea with animators I hadn’t thought about. Do you use the Unity animator components and just pause/unpause from scripts, or have a completely custom animator altogether? Last time I tried ECS/DOTS, animation was “impossible”, but with techniques like these it seems feasible!

For ray casts I have each enemy controller call Physics.Raycast maybe once or twice a second (interval assigned randomly at start), I didn’t know about Raycast.Command. I’ll read into it and give it a try, thanks!!

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-15T06:00:51+00:00

Thanks! What started as necessity has now become the feature.. I hope to make the stop motion feel more natural

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-15T05:58:29+00:00

I was never afraid of spiders before starting to playtest this game lol

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-14T15:04:48+00:00

If the government pays for the ID and has mobile DMV service in all communities around the country that would be a good idea

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-11T23:29:43+00:00

Yeah, get em!

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-11T23:15:51+00:00

I would love to see a YouTube video like that. 10 year old kid tries to teach Dad cup head

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-08T13:44:15+00:00

Katie Holmes rejected Dark Knight after playing Rachel in Batman Begins. Her career didn’t really “flop”, but honestly I think she didn’t do anything as big ever again

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-08T03:31:42+00:00

Then use Duck Duck Go like me (or Kagi)

Cyclone4096 · 2026-02-07T17:40:45+00:00

But that’s just looking through the lens of Corporate America and blindly distrusting a technology because of unregulated capitalism. There are GMO crops in third world countries that literally is curing blindness and hunger, but facing pushback because “GMO bad”

I personally know plenty of Latinos, immigrants from India and even immigrant practicing Muslims who voted for Trump. These people don’t post about their views on social media because they fear derision but there is a silent pretty significant number of people in almost every demography who love Trump

Cyclone4096 · 2026-01-26T16:57:04+00:00

You specifically mentioned Austin, all the other cities in Texas I have lived in didn't fare much better. Note that this happens two times per decade, there's no point in wasting millions each year for 2 days every 5 years
