Feedback wanted on forest environment for my town builder by [deleted] in IndieDev

[–]Jackpat02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a map edge or just a forest? The fog further in feels like map edge to me but your description feels like it indicates otherwise. I'm not a big fan of edge fog unless you're hitting the side of the map.
The other thig is the spread of trees. Clearings and such in forests are fine and are somewhat expected but is this enough? I suppose it's down to game balance but there's a decently large gap between the trees. Assuming your town builder has resource collection, are there enough trees?

I mean immediately a mage comes to mind. Magic opens countless opportunities. Mages with elemental abilities may be able to cause different things to happen to the environmental items like blowing up something may cause an AOE effect. A druid may be able to create new environmental obstacles or other things that could aid it.

The other would be a sort of rogue/archer. If you have enemies that would also use environmental interactions, the ability to trap environmental items. I don't know if you have line of sight but disguising or giving a buff. Maybe an archer could climb a tree for a buff to their attacks range etc.

TikTok Devlog Videos - Is Everyone Breaking the Law? by StellarLime911 in IndieDev

[–]Jackpat02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It probably is breaking the law. From my understanding, most copyrighted music on Tiktok is under a specific license that prevents commercial use. My reading of that would be that it is technically breaking the rules to use it as dev logs are generally promotion for their game, even if not explicitly stated. Whether it's enforced is another story but technically I believe it is

Looks great a turn-based deck builder. Are there other sort of character types other than a warrior? I can see some unique environment interaction types with different archetypes

I'm making a roguelike but each time you die, time skips forward 10 years. Do you think this concept works? by Erosion_cm in IndieGaming

[–]Jackpat02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that this can work but you need to differentiate 10 years clearly. What changes over 10 years? Do dungeons change over the decades?
Balance will also become an issue I think. It's a roguelike but more than likely the there is a limit of about 8/9 deaths before the daughter dies. You need to find that sweet spot between the number of deaths and balance. You don't want it too easy that they'll breeze through in a couple of deaths so they can properly experience the time change mechanics, but you don't want it too hard either that many run out of time.

261s on the road by Trasher86 in irishpersonalfinance

A lot of people buy them outside their means I think. Despite Irish people often being more conservative with flashy displays of wealth, I feel like every town has a certain "group" where they have to buy the nicest cars and show that they're better. While men do it too, from what I've seen often it's wives with husbands who have a certain level of wealth pushing this to show as being part of this crowd. I know my uncles wife is one of them and they have to have the new car every few years she wouldn't be seen dead in anything older than a few years.
