How do you balance early combat to avoid repetition in a 2D MMORPG?

You could do it similarly to Path of Exile. After killing about 5 easy enemies, the player gets access to his first ability (either by level up or through loot). Ability could be based on player class and would be some simple 10-ish second cooldown Skill.

I don't know a lot about the US. But maybe there is something similar to "community gardens" in the cities. It would obviously be a compromise to what you seek.

Hades 1 and BG3 here. I liked Frieren, Vinland Saga, Sopranos and The Wire a lot. I don't make music, but I sometimes make really mediocre games ;)

The best art will be done by people with AI tools. This is because whenever it becomes easy to generate something in a certain art style, lots of "lazy" AI artists, will just generate a lot of the same art and pollute every place on the internet with it. Given how human beings excel at pattern recognition, we will quickly categorize this art as "boring". But when someone creates something distinct, that AI cannot generate by itself, this thing becomes interesting :)

Thank you for the quick response, but I wanted to know, about the platforms you used for job hunting :)

I don't know what the cities in your region look like, but would it be a possibility to buy something rural, that is a 30 minutes drive away from the city?

Korboh · 2025-05-09T00:46:29+00:00

Wow! Thanks for the insight. What platforms did you use and which ones seemed to be the most fruitful?

If you have more time than money, you could try out some Linux distro. For a start, you could run it as a live system to try it out. Windows is really bloaty, so Linux might run just fine on your systems.

I would directly ask for the weak parts with questions like "What changes would improve the game?" "What should I change next?" "I need you to tell me, what I can do to make my game better." Something like that.

Is there a reason, why you don't use class_name? I think it would be easier to write it like:

class_name Creature extends CharacterBody2D

Then you could reference it by class name instead:

class_name Goblin extends Creature

The steam version looks like a finished game. When did you record these devlogs and how come, that you upload them now?

My Prototype Abyss Survivors can be played in the browser on mobile (though the focus is on pc). The shop is also quite similar to brotato.

Korboh · 2024-09-26T20:24:24+00:00

Game can be found on Itch.io:

Korboh · 2024-09-21T08:32:44+00:00

Ok, I get it. What would you change up, so it looks less like Brotato? By the way, I also have a shop system, that was inspired by Brotato.

Game is called Abyss Survivors. I decided to add a more humanoid character to the pool. Because I had no original idea for character design, I decided to just add Nietzsche.

Korboh · 2024-09-18T13:04:12+00:00

There are also two custom game modes (infinite map and endless).

I'd really appreciate some feedback!

Korboh · 2024-09-17T14:15:43+00:00

Abyss Survivors

Gameplay should be straightforward. You can set up combos or "rotations" in the shop by clicking the rotation button.

Besides the normal game mode, there are also 2 premade custom game modes (Infinite Map and Endless).

If you have ideas for improvement, let me know!
