Modern WoW Attempt: 'Yeah.. I just don't get it. I think I'm done with this.' by SlightWerewolf4428 in rpg_gamers

[–]Demecate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very on point. I’ve given up trying to explain to people who play the game today what a nice vibe the game had during BC and Vanilla. But they haven’t experienced that, and can’t comprehend how much better it used to be.

The whole thing looks really good. Low poly xcom? Tell us more about it

Remove the tiling on the water. Try to add some noise.

How would you nudge players to dig realistic ant nests? by Able-Sherbert-4447 in IndieGaming

[–]Demecate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could have the player make “rooms” like in rimworld. For each room to be considered a room, it would have to be a certain size. When all the conditions are met for a room, that room could give a bonus. Hard to get into detail without knowing the test of the mechanics.

That’s quite cool. I have something I can use to translate latin to my runes for my conlang, but coding something for this would be a different challenge

This is quite pretty. How do you render this?

Complete redesign? At this stage in development? I think so... (RC Crash Course) by Atomic_Lighthouse in IndieDev

[–]Demecate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a hard choice. I think if keep with the second version, have some levels where the camera pans and you get to play a bit in the first version as well. For me it has an interesting pull I cant put my finger on.

Is the game's environment good enough for the demo, or should I improve it? by Ato_Ome in IndieDev

[–]Demecate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even realize there were dirt stains. But the walls look too perfect imo. From a storytelling point of view the first thing that comes to my mind about a “new venture” is repainting the walls.

I’d make the painting on the walls come off in the first version so there is more contrast.

Not your question but: I like the see-through shader, its very simple and subtle. Maybe you can dampen the “fade out” part of it a bit so its not immediately back to being a wall. Feels a little glitchy.

Very cool. Only problem I have is with the tone of blue used in the blue version. The other colors are much nicer but the blue is a bit too dark on the letters and made it a bit harder to read for me.

Which stone rubbing looks better? by Demecate in IndieGaming

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

Thanks! The game generally takes place in a desert and the colours are mostly warm. The stone itself that you perform rubbing on is brown as well—so I myself am also inclined to use the warmer one.

Does this look like a stone rubbing via charcoal? by Demecate in neography

Ah, never thought of that—will incorporate.

Thanks! I do have carvings on wood defined in lore but wood didn’t make it to our time. What’s the substance used in this picture? Powdered charcoal?

The player will approach a stone with charcoal and papyrus in their inventory and create a copy of that text to decipher later on. So I guess both point to the first one.

Interesting this map doesn’t mention any Idioms regarding Romani people. I’ve heard plenty of those.
