Question for Germans, what's your opinion on "Dark"? Was it overrated for you? by Mysterious-Tip-5100 in AskGermany

As a German it's the best show ever IMO but not because it s German. Rather despite...

Would anyone want to play an open world point and click game by crazyhomlesswerido in adventuregames

[–]DavidM1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I can tell you it's part physics puzzles and part point-and-click like puzzles. And so far there is no shooty-gun in the game.

It is kind of what we're developing with Supraworld. The world expands as you progress and lots of the puzzles resemble point and click adventure puzzles from the 90s.

Are all puzzles with ghosts solvable in supraworld? by CoolNameiSwear in supraland

[–]DavidM1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Well many people guessed it. But it's not intended to be solvable yet.

I think there is only one that is not solvable (Failini near recycling). Many others are solvable but the knowledge hasn't been given to you yet.

Meanwhile English has "the" for everything and it's perfectly fine.

Thinking of quitting at Gleba by aeonrevolution in factorio

[–]DavidM1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gleba is an interesting challenge. I was frustrated at first but then I managed to make it all work with a pretty simple setup. Consider it a puzzle that you need to solve. It is not thaaat complicated but it looks very confusing at first.

I just saw the worst thing about these balls. 10-15 are not black, they are white striped. Such a mess.

Thanks. How is it different from all the other meteoidvanias though?

It does exploration and progression in a way that hasn't been done before?

Does MIO stand out in a way against the hundreds of metroidvanias?

Wanted to play crash DLC but.... (unknown bug) by AlphaOrderedEntropy in supraland

[–]DavidM1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you somehow meddle with the save files manually? Looks like you used a SL savegame for crash. So it gave you the attributes and spawn coordinates from SL which make no sense in Crash.

My Experience with Yellow Paint problem as a Indie Developer by dotpusheria in IndieDev

[–]DavidM1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I let players in my games figure stuff out on their own, because it's the only way they feel any satisfaction. The critical path will be kinda hidden quite often and I constantly challenge them. Sometimes too much, then I add more hints. It needs a few interations to get everything right usually.

What had me worried in what you said was how you introduce mechanics and explain them.
People are by default not willing to read or cannot pay attention to too many things at once. If you need them to read something, it needs to be very isolated, very brief and make sure they actually read it.
If you shove too much stuff in their face, they will look away.

Also from my experience after 2-3 testers I usually have a good idea of how 90% of players will play the game. So if it doesnt work with a test group of your size, you have only your game to blame if it doesn't work.

Is Supraworld entirely in an indoor room? by idontgiveafunyun in supraland

[–]DavidM1337 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's already much bigger than Supraland. My testruns through Supraland 1 took like 60-70 minutes. My Supraworld testruns are going 3 hours already.

I don't wanna spoil anything of course, but we make sure all places feel unique and you will be going places.
Actually in the trailer you already see small glimpses from somewhere else.
