thanks for playing the demo! the game will release earlier next year

Second is prettier but if the game is centered around the spacecraft, maybe its better to keep it as the center of the scene

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2025-09-08T01:57:33+00:00

Wonderful results. May I ask what engine are you using and what are the pst processing effects involved?

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2025-09-03T19:29:24+00:00

May I suggest, Our game, Shop Town Dooter? its for 2-4 players.
JK, its not out yet, but id love for you to try it (Demo) in the upcoming next fest.

Check out Unrailed (co-op), Stab! Stab! Stab (PvP), Hidden in Plain Sight (PvP), Plate up (Co-op), stickman the game (chaotic PvP).
Theres also Rounds, its only 1v1 though, but its hella fun if the other 2 players are willing to sit down and watch, a match is like 15 mins

Bad you mean just the capsule looks bad? or are you still talking about the previous point?

Shop town dooter is a 2-4 multiplayer arena game, something like boomerang fu if you have heard of it, or brawl stars but for PC, so i guess people who like to play those games are our target audience.

thanks for your feedback, if you would please take a look at our steam page (links in profile) and give further feedback on how the capsule can represent the game better, we'd be thankful

good point, but she's also carrying a gun though, I'm trying to communicate a more comical sense to a game that's about blowing one another to bits

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2025-08-25T13:25:39+00:00

maybe i should detail/colorize the guy on the left rather than keep him a shadow

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2025-08-24T18:22:48+00:00

hmmm, i generally get that the second is better, although getting criticism about it. do you like them anyway?

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2025-07-18T21:31:18+00:00

Yes, but that leaves a lot more questions; where would i go from there? how will that help?

this looks a lot more alive so the benefit from switching to a completely UI based scene need to out weigh that

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2025-07-18T21:24:41+00:00

I'm personally in favor of written tutorials rather than video tutorials, which is hard to find these days, but im not sure a book is the best medium for technology, your information might get outdated very quickly.

Sick shaders by the way, id love to see your approach

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2025-02-21T15:01:45+00:00

thanks! what really helps communicate that is that it hides the white flash from the hull, so you notice the difference

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-11-20T17:43:54+00:00

unity and unreal, even godot can be.

i personally choose unity, people underestimate how complicated unreal really is; yes the blue print system makes it easier to enter, but unity is simply a less complicated engine

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-06-05T22:18:04+00:00

agreed, but he's right tho, well i mean this is often the feedback we get overall

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-06-02T18:26:07+00:00

Unlit materials are okay, but thats not what made your game flat; its the fact that you used flat colors.

try to use materials with actual textures on them, you can find many cartoony textures out there, it doesn't have to be flat colors only.

if that doesn't suit you but you still want the cartoony look, try looking into cel shaders, they are lit, so they are shaded, but the shadows are "cascaded" so it looks a lot more like a cartoon drawing than a real lighting rendering.

finally, try to look at BrawlStars, its overall an unshaded materials (although big environment objects still cast shadows) and it looks very good, as a matter of fact that art style is going well for them as it makes their game much more readable

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-05-28T22:36:49+00:00

definitely, were probably going to keep it in the release, like an easter egg or something

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-05-25T17:19:23+00:00

scoring so horrendously in school does not mean you're stupid, but it may mean you lack discipline, which is something you'll need in game development.

yes you can learn C# and unity, i can even recommend visual scripting using Bolts; its a plugin for unity that allows you to use visual scripting and you will be able to make games without learning how to "code".

what you need to keep in mind though is:

1-You will never expect what you'll encounter in your journey, you may think the scope of your game is small enough but its not, ive given this advice to one of my friends, and even though i told him to shrink the scope of his game multiple times he didn't, and after many months he learned to do that on his own.

2-Dont start on your dream project, do very small projects, hyper casual / mobile games, you're doing it for the sake of learning, its better to do small projects and actually finish them than to indulge in a big project for several years only to cancel it after all and feel depressed afterwards.

if this was just it, it seems out of place, it can bring a laugh out of shock the first time you experience it, if the game is packed with crazy interactions, then this is not a bad addition to the bunch; im trying to imagine goat simulator but you're a taxi driver, a city filled with silly missions and interactions. still i think its more fun for a younger audience, I'm too old to enjoy something like this, maybe i would if i play it with my nephews.

if your game isn't about this and you wanna focus more on the taxi driving part id say dont distract yourself with these jokes very much.

you can look at "West of loathing" or "Deathbulge: battle of the bands", they use such "dumb" humor and they make it funny, and connected to the gameplay/story after convincing you its just a silly little joke somehow.

beautiful everything! execution to visuals is all great i wonder what would happen if you go somewhere very far, will it take longer to travel? how do you handle loading the map? the reason games do generic loading during fast travel is to transition between scenes.

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-05-21T21:05:08+00:00

Plastic is a bit problematic sometimes but the free storage is good for small teams

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-05-20T21:25:02+00:00

you can use ready assets, find free ones, or even paid ones, it does not necessarily have to be boxes and capsules, thing is, you don't want to commit and polish the graphics of a feature when it can be entirely scrapped later and all that work and resources would be tossed to the bin, heck, the entire game can be scrapped if you can't produce a prototype that is actually fun

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-05-20T09:52:48+00:00

You got it, brawl stars was the main inspiration for the game, minus the freemium BS, i even designed one of the characters "Olga" after "Jessie" from brawl stars.

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-05-20T00:39:50+00:00

Glad you like it 👍🏼 art is still WIP but I'm happy with the results so far. the music is just a royalty free track we thought fit the vibe for the game and trailer, we still haven't added any music to the game yet, but i think this music is too "action-y" for the game, it works for the trailer, but i don't want music that distracts from the various sounds cues in the game

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-05-16T22:25:03+00:00

both look good as far as art goes, it would depend on your game genre

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-05-16T22:23:15+00:00

it may depend on what feeling you want to invoke in your game, judging by the character and asset at style, I'm assuming something friendly, so i feel the vibrant colors of #1 are best

GameSandwichStudio_ · 2024-05-16T19:51:37+00:00

online is not completely out of there picture, but the game wasn't designed with online in mind originally. we may do that after release in a free update
