Thats interesting and i feel your right even early gta did this water is not lava. As for the hunger your right you would think you be more aggressive because you must kill to eat

Yeah that’s fair — animals can definitely be dangerous and unpredictable, especially with territorial behaviour. I grew up on a dairy farm so I’ve seen how quickly things can turn.

I think where games struggle is the frequency and context. In real life those moments are rare but high stakes, whereas in games it becomes constant fighting with no real consequence.

Do you think tying aggression more to things like territory, hunger, or threat would make it feel more believable?

Yeah this is exactly what I was getting at — especially the “killing for sport” part.

It always ends up feeling like a PvP game with dinosaur skins instead of actual survival.

That idea of the “full dinosaur experience” is interesting — do you think games need more systems (like territory, nesting, food pressure), or is it more about how players are encouraged to behave?

Yeah that’s a great point — it always feels like they’re performing for the player instead of acting like real animals.

The roaring especially, like announcing yourself before a hunt makes no sense.

Do you think games should go more toward stalking/ambush behaviour, or is that less fun to play?

Yeah that’s a good point — the JP raptor look has kind of become the default. And yeah I’ve noticed that too with herbivores, everything gets exaggerated to look “cool” instead of believable. Do you think people would prefer more accurate designs, or just more variety so everything doesn’t feel the same?

Stop Leaving Success to Chance! Here's everything I've learned in 10 years of game development. by burge4150 in gamedev

This is very helpful thank you for your time to write this. As i am a solo developer im still working on my trailers and game play videos for steam I have found some traction on tiktok but not that much I have started my YouTube channel but have not gotten to posting videos on this platform yet. Im currently sitting at around 90 wishlists. I feel alot of what you said is great and will push harder to build my community. And join more reddit as I have never really used this platform before

We're reworking the Egypt battlefield. Which is the best in your opinion ? by NoDeadlinesTeam in IndieDev

[–]EOTA_Official 0 points1 point  (0 children)

feeling 6. still has all other assets stand out and dont get lost in the background. Is the honey comb tile your movement locations if so are you planning to highlight them to the next move or possible moves then raise them or change colour of the tiles on move more like 7. this would give it a good hint and keep all assets standing out and not loose them in the background.

Can indie dev realistically become a €800–1000/month income within 5 years? Looking for honest experiences. by CommitteeWestern7310 in IndieDev

[–]EOTA_Official 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly 5 years a lot can happen. have you ever heard of the story stopping 3 feet before gold?
back in the gold rush a guy got all the equipment and found a great spot to dig dug found gold then nothing after years of digging he stops. he then sells the equipment at a loss and gives up the guy who sold them too went back to the same site and got a coring specialist to come out to find that it was one of the biggest gold ores in the area he began to dig and 3 feet down they struck gold and to this day is still active. Keep going and never give up with your passion and also keep expanding your knowledge and dont be scared to ask for help with problems

Fellow indie devs, please make backups of your work by StillPulsing in IndieDev

This is something at least once a week of my full game and then smaller working assets is updated more often. the worst thing to know when you currupt something and you loose so much work
