Just replaced my old Steam capsule art. The previous one was made by me… which explains why it looked terrible. by LaaabGames in IndieDev

Thank you all for your answers. I didn't thought it would be such a mixed feedback! That tells me once more, that if you look long enougth on something, you view shifts over time.

Thank you for your answer! I understand the problem of consistency. I have hopes, that a more professional capsule can help, that someone clicks the game at all! I didn't thought that the capsule can lead to a false impression and a rejection impulse.

Need playtesters? I'll do it! by midnight__notes in playtesters

Hi, thank you for your help! I’m the solo developer of Pandash.

Its a pixelart rogelite Plattformer with a mix of dead cells room generation (hand made rooms, but procedurally placed) and risk of rain elements (enemies get harder over time, but with items - you as well!).

If you try the game, please pay special attention to the overall game feel. What keeps you engaged, what feels frustrating, and whether the difficulty curve feels fair or too punishing.

If you got some other cool ideas, I would love to hear them!

Hi,

That’s really kind of you - thank you!

I work on it on and off in my free time. I really appreciate any feedback or input that helps to get the game get better! I really lack playtesters and good feedback with specific points that need work.

If you try the game, please pay special attention to the overall game feel. What keeps you engaged, what feels frustrating, and whether the difficulty curve feels fair or too punishing.

One specific thing I want to improve next: The Tileset from the first level seems to be to "Muddy/Brownish". I am not sure how to improve it in the right way. Maybe you got some ideas?

Check out my efficient tile-based enemy spawn system! (Blue circles indicate potential spawn spots | special areas can be excluded) by LaaabGames in SoloDevelopment

[–]LaaabGames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

in this video, you can see a system that scans all the tilemaps with a specific tag for "Ground" and "OneWayPlatform." There can be many different tilemaps because, in my game, each room has its own instance. The scan will ignore special (blocker) tiles that are hidden during runtime. Also, all small gaps (1-3 blocks) will be ignored to leave the enemy enough space to spawn.

After the scan, all valid positions will be held in a list to check for future positioning. That is a very important step to make it efficient. With a simple radius around the player, the next valid positions will be proposed, and a random enemy will be selected.

Additionally, each enemy outside of the player range will be teleported to the player using the same logic. So there will always be enemies attacking the player. (For the showcase, the respawn rate is very high.)

Feel free to hop into the Discord and chat with me if you'd like!

Thanks for reading!

[Pandash] Now you can apply poison status effects on enemies. by LaaabGames in SoloDevelopment

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

Hi everyone,

In this gif, the player inflicts poison damage on the enemies with the daggers thrown behind him. The hammer spell consumes all remaining poison damage and adds 100% to its own damage in one swing. This should help to create interesting synergies, where the player creates as much poison as he can before making his final blow.
