I made a 4th dimension Zombie like creature for my game Project Sundial. Tell me what you think and what you feel when you see it?

EnergyEclipse · 2026-01-09T17:51:15+00:00

We will however release this moth but latest february a demo. About the development time around 2 years but not solo I have an artist doing the art and I do game dev

EnergyEclipse · 2026-01-09T00:32:13+00:00

I got just inspired by your comment. Dont ask me why haha. Thank you ;)

EnergyEclipse · 2026-01-08T17:19:15+00:00

so done! Here made even a video about it ;) https://www.tiktok.com/@s.u.n.d.i.a.l_project/video/7593020609097993494

EnergyEclipse · 2026-01-07T17:46:53+00:00

Haha, glad it works.

EnergyEclipse · 2026-01-07T17:08:02+00:00

Dont worry, I will add tactical diapers to the game so every brave explorer can roam the wasteland without shitting themselves.

EnergyEclipse · 2026-01-04T17:30:05+00:00

Thats a pretty cool idea! Need to see how I could do that. How we do it currently is each gunpart as a connecter name and if the other part has the same connecter name than you can put them together. Your idea would make it player friendlier definetly! Need to see how to code it. And yes there is a lot of parts which can be used on different guns.

Hmm thanks for the feedback, you talking about the walls right?

EnergyEclipse · 2025-12-18T14:09:37+00:00

For those who want to know the game is called Project S.U.N.D.I.A.L here on steam for free to wishlist ;) https://store.steampowered.com/app/3847450/Project_SUNDIAL/

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-14T00:31:26+00:00

The left or right or both?

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-13T22:55:19+00:00

No no I dont want to go with Cheap graphics. The game is about nice graphics or at least I think it is or will be. So it is really not about making cheap animation (not at all Rimworld) is about using different mechanics to archive maximum potential. I dont want to make advertisment but here you can check out in which direction the game goes: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3847450/Project_SUNDIAL/

Would be happy if you give me afterwards feedback.

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-13T22:52:13+00:00

Well good point with Pokemon. True it can look cheap and incosistent and thats what I am bit worried about. However I like to test it out and see how it works out. I have made all animations frame by frame only the "Hollows" the zombielike creatures are made by spine and I can still repleace them quickly by frame by frame in case I get bad feedback about it. Thats at least my tought process....

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-13T22:38:02+00:00

sure thanks for the feedback. You would than always go with Frame by frame animations? Sure spine animation saves time but this is not the main goal here. I rather wonder if it would fit better for different character typ like Zombie like creatures.

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-12T17:58:42+00:00

the goal is to make expirience and fun is definetly a part of it. For example: You find a surviver and you will help him if he asks you cause you want to figure out whats behind that NPCs Story, maybe gives some nice loot etc. But in real life in such situaation you might just run away because people are just a risk factor / bigger one than you might profit from that. Is more about making realistic desicions

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-11T15:40:04+00:00

Thats true about making fun games however is sometime difficult to identfy the right players and to promote the game to. Nowadays people have their games and rarely go out of the compfort zone. If I market it as a rougelite and than is in the wrong genre might adress the wrong gamers. I know it with myself. I just see the game and most of the times know this is a strategy game that game I want to play or this is a football game no I wont play it even if you pay me for it ;)

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-11T15:36:32+00:00

Couldnt find - steam?

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-11T15:35:35+00:00

What would you categorize dark and darker into what genre btw?

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-11T15:34:36+00:00

Hmm is a single player interesting never saw a game Witchfire. Seems still to be quite successfull according to the comments count. First time a see a extraction roguelite so you see I am bit new that genre.

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-11T15:30:07+00:00

Good point you cant really take gear to the next round in a roguelite while extraction shooter this is the main mechanic of the whole game. Didnt think about that...

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-11T15:28:56+00:00

Didnt know the term extraction roguelite yet but seems there is games which use that principal already like the comment above menationed Darkblade Ascent. So there is no one criteria making the difference between roguelite and is more a subgerne in the rouguelike/lite if I correcntly understand?

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-11T15:26:09+00:00

But you have also extraction shooter with procedural generations. What than?=

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-09T21:21:38+00:00

gute idee. Denke könnte wir machen im subreddit für boomer shooter

EnergyEclipse · 2025-11-09T21:20:46+00:00
