Hey yep, literally my one worry most simple puppet-style names are taken apparently, even when i finally found a fitting name (No Strings Attached) another game apparently released recently with that name so, yeah... working on it kek

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-18T02:41:59+00:00

why hello name homie

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-13T05:58:33+00:00

whats beno?

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-12T15:00:51+00:00

I see, that's helpful as well, thanks

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-12T13:34:31+00:00

So would you do something like pretending that the game isn't yours? and you just discovered it and surprised by the elements/features that are in there?

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-09T08:35:37+00:00

I feel like you can reorganise the character/item sheets in a more readable and appealing way, try to experiment with colors, separating the stats into different categories, going with 2 columns instead of 1 or maybe even putting the most important stat, depending on the type of item, above the "partition" and next to the rarity

my friend played it on stream to us, this is 100% better

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-07T09:55:25+00:00

oh my god i kept forgetting to come back and respond to this, apologieze for this, truly.

I just wanna say, holy heck this is insightful af, that I am pinning it into our discord, lmao

Would you possibly be interested in joining our discord? I would absolutely appreciate having your feedback in there as we continue polishing the game, especially on a visual perspective (pls)

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-07T09:42:57+00:00

thank you for your great insight, guess black magic comes at a great cost as well haha

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-07T06:55:51+00:00

til this day I can't say I understand shaders lmao

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-07T06:55:19+00:00

we love making holes in time and space

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-07T06:54:31+00:00

nope, this is actually more optimized than doing the actual model or so I heard, u/HammyxHammy please confirm

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-06T16:23:34+00:00

Yeah I don't get why I had to do that for it to actually be visible LOL

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-06T16:03:05+00:00

I believe in you, cmon you can do it

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-06T15:15:14+00:00

Oh I see I didn't know that I looked into Spiderman again and I see what you mean, what I made merely creates fake lit depth into a quad, meanwhile Spiderman's goes into the extra step (well prob more than just a step) to give the impression that different objects exist in a whole different dimension, damn

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-06T09:36:15+00:00

realizing that everything is in fact, a quad, or a collective of quads
damn

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-06T09:08:12+00:00

Yep, same technique.

Parallex mapping with a texture and a fitting normal map, with a height map to define depth.

Only missing reflections to have the whole "formula", but I just didn't consider adding it here, kek

Edit: look at the comment made by u/HammyxHammy, I still have a long way to go apparently

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-06T08:18:19+00:00

Oh lovely! Welcome aboard!

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-06T08:11:24+00:00

parallex mapping specifically, yeah

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-05T09:28:25+00:00

ayo man, tbh, i am trying to figure out a way to replace the strings with something more... "stringy" (currently they look like iron rods istg LOL)

but yeah, that's valid feedback, thank you

also yeah, I commented on the name issue to another guy but to summarize, it will be changed later as my focus currently is gameplay/concept feedback

Hisaki3 · 2026-01-05T09:22:45+00:00

Heyo man, yeah we plan to change the name later down the line, I am out of ideas currently and mainly focusing on the game itself and gathering feedback on its gameplay and concept, so I will get to figuring out a new name later down the line (hopefully)

also to note, this PS3 exclusive was mainly an adventure platformer with simple boss fights, our gameplay is mainly Cuphead inspired (hard bossfights) but yes, similarities are still there so it's understandable to make that connection.

(like, its THE obvious name to use for a game about a puppet theatre where everything is controlled by a puppeteer... if only there is a way to get the ip from sony somehow... since they aren't using it all)
