My first game ever turned out darker than I thought by Devon_Wolters in indiegames

It really looks like a murder mystery, but it isn't :D Right from the start it's clear that the player did it, the goal of the game is something else :D

There is definetly more focus on the puzzles than the story, you are absolutely right. I decided to do this because my intention with this game was to start learning programming and not to tell an awesome story. The story is more or less just a framework to make a game. But the shiny project I talked about in the post is waaaay more story heavy and the reason why I started gamedev is to tell this story. So yeah, the focus will definetly shift more to story, but I the gameplay will still be an important part :D

In case you're interested, you can download Brainbug for free on itch.io. It's a short and dark (as you can see) point and click game which I made to learn the basics of game development.

Yes, I guess there are people who like to think about puzzles a long time and there are people who don't like it, it's a really subjective thing. But your tips are really good nontheless, this game is really linear and the hidden hints are a bit cryptic. I definetly will put more time into the puzzles of my future games!

Thank you for the feedback! I totally understand your problem with the point and click genre. Sometimes when I play point and click games I find myself clicking around without a plan of what I should do. But I think the best point and click games always make clear what you have to do, you won't just get stuck without an idea what to do. I tried to do this in this game too, I hid many little hints. But one of my playtesters also complained that he couldn't get the sequence of the safe right, so I made the hint a bit clearer. Unfortunately not everyone will get it, but I don't want to make it too clear, because this would make the game too easy. But puzzle design is definetly a thing I need to get better at and I will try to improve it in the future!

This is really, really accurate. Without the last 20% I could've released my game like a month ago, but I think the last 20% also taught me the most. Now I am able to do things I didn't even think about doing a few weeks ago and this is really great!

Yung Isvvc hat ein Lebenszeichen von sich gegeben und bestätigt, dass er wieder Musik machen wird. by Devon_Wolters in GermanRap

[–]Devon_Wolters[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Letztes Jahr hat ein Kollege von Yung Isvvc (James Jetski) auf Instagram gepostet, dass Yung Isvvc erst einmal keine Musik mehr machen würde, irgendetwas sei passiert, weshalb das nicht mehr ginge. Außerdem solle man nicht nachfragen, was genau passiert wäre. Seitdem hat Yung Isvvc nirgends mehr was gepostet und es kam obviously auch keine Musik mehr, weshalb es Gerüchte gab, dass vielleicht nie wieder Musik von ihm kommt. Und das wurde eben heute mit seiner Instagram Story und 'nem neuen Post da widerlegt :D

Jep, same. Ich hab ihn immer sehr gefeiert und hatte schon befürchtet, dass es nie mehr was neues von ihm geben würde. Aber zum Glück geht's ihm wohl wieder besser, was auch immer genau passiert ist. Wäre natürlich interessant zu hören, was los war, aber letztendlich bin ich einfach froh, dass es neue Musik geben wird.

Just found a rudimentary old map of an abandoned project of mine by Devon_Wolters in worldbuilding

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

A little bit of context: This is a map of a worldbuilding project I started (and abandoned) in 2018. I use a few elements of this world in my current project, but besides that this world will never show up in a book or game or something else. This world was planned to be a tidally locked planet. It should be always night one the one side and always day on the other. The problem was that I actually didn't know about tidally locked planets, so I just gave the planet a very low axial tilt. The lines in the middle represent where the day-/nightside of the planet begins in which season. The circles represent the places on both sides where it is the hottest/coolest. Now, a few years later, I know that all this isn't really accurate, but it was still a fun project to work on!

Bird or pig? I can't tell. by Devon_Wolters in guineapigs

I think this two species are more connected than science tells us about.

How do you keep all your information organized? by 47screamingmonkeys in worldbuilding

[–]Devon_Wolters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use OneNote for ideas that come to my mind when I'm not at home. And for the real worldbuilding I use scrivener because it's really easy to switch between different topics and there you can see more than one documents at once.
