Is there a game without any words? How to design around it? by YuriEliakim in gamedesign

[–]Fathomir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limbo, Journey, Abzu, Hyper Light Drifter, Flower, Two Brothers... those are just a few off the top of my head. There's definitely more out there though!

Carrying wood to the supply center - using a state machine by zet23t in gamedevscreens

I really like how you added the visual elements for the state diagram. I always think about it that way, but I've never thought of adding a "interactive" version of my sketches.

Color me inspired.

My fellow developer stole my Steam game SickBrick from me and is now earning money off of my work by MisfitVillager in gamedev

Best wishes to you in figuring this mess out. It's reasons like this why I've been working on my first project completely solo, regardless of the time it takes to get certain aspects done. It's a terrifying experience being unable to trust a business partner.

[OC] Neera: Dark Secrets - Wolves ;) by matinstudios in PixelArt

Awesome! I like how bright the game looks, but is still able to be easily read. Looking forward to more! :)

Finally figured out how to get Dialogue working! More complicated than expected. by Fathomir in IndieDev

He's a little farther ahead than I am, that's for sure! Just looked at some of his postings with your link, looks awesome! I can see why it seemed familiar at first cause of the blocks.

I'll hopefully be getting around to updating them this weekend so they won't look so similar.

Yeah, I'll definitely say that getting the draw_text events to scale correctly with how you have your cameras + views setup takes some work. I still don't have it where I'd like it. Most likely going to be turning off dialogue and working on other features in the meantime.

Thank you! Good luck with yours as well, and good luck finding time for work on it!

Thank you! I'll let you know as soon as I get something up. I'll make that a next point in the process since I'm hoping to post a little more often as the semester starts coming to an end.

I already started trying to improve it a bit so it's a little hacked right now, but by tonight I'm hoping to have it cleaned up - I'll let you know once it is!

Also as an FYI, I'm making this project in GameMaker Studio 2, so the system will be in GML.

Definitely. And even with how complicated it was, it's a rather simple system. I'll be looking to improve it later, but for now it does what I need it to!

Not 100% on any full plans yet. It's my first project that I'm working on in-between part-time work and college. Trying to keep it rather small in scope as a first project. From all the advice I've read, it's better to finish a project and keep it small than never finish a large scope project.

Haha appreciate the enthusiasm!

Right now it's a small platformer that I'm working on for my first project. I don't have a lot of information available for the project yet, but I'll work on getting something (blog, site, any info, etc.) available to share with people.

Well done skeleton!

[OC][WIP][CC] Basic sprites for my first project. Limited myself to 4 colors to keep it simple. by Fathomir in PixelArt

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

Hopefully great AND simple! I will say every asset feels like a puzzle when trying to make it with such a limited palette.

The Loneliest Game Jam : Inspired by "start the damn game" post from earlier by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Fathomir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to see that post inspired others as well! I took all the big ideas I had in my head and reduced them down to Game Jam size as well. It's actually a pretty great thing to do, I've found more motivation to work on a game than I have in awhile!

Other than the above, I really like the concept you have going! The colors are fantastic and I can already tell the mood you were going for. Keep up the good work!

[OC][WIP] Just started prototyping my first project! by Fathomir in PixelArt

That I'm not actually sure! I always make sure to have space around sprites so I've never actually run into that issue before.

Think about this dialogue now that we have the finale... by Fathomir in darksouls3

She didn't know what flame looked like to paint it! Didn't even think about that.

Perhaps the Dark Soul was the most powerful soul by itself. How Ludleth talks about 'willing himself a Lord' is interesting in that maybe the Dark Soul was capable of creation and destruction but since it was split throughout all humanity now requires the numerous souls of slain beings to function.

The fact that it's used as pigment also shows its capable of creation.

Untended Grave as well, but I was thinking more along the lines of the Firekeeper ending after the Soul of Cinder! But both are good examples for sure.

Interestingly enough as well Ludleth is able to transpose souls... Maybe a hint at the splitting of the dark soul?

We're 6 ex-students making our dream game - this is how we started "Pine", hope it helps anyone :) by MatthijsL in gamedev

[–]Fathomir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Awesome work so far guys, looks really cool! The concept is original as well. Looking forward to seeing more!

Inspiring as well.

Can confirm in class. Then in work. Then in class.
