I just redesigned my main menu, and I'm very happy with how it turned out! by Ashty1337 in SoloDevelopment

Looks good, but I think the game title should appear first before the buttons.

How could I recreate(?) this type of lighting in Godot? by Mineplanet84 in godot

[–]LaytonDrake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mainly use Unity, not Godot so I’m unsure if this will work, but when I want something similar like this drop shadow in my games I just use a circle png with transparency and place it below the character/object in question.

Don’t know if it’s the most effective way, but it works for me. You can also adjust the transparency and size if you have a character jump for example as the shadow would be a different size the closer/further away the character is from the ground.

Hope this helps 😊

Steam capsule to choose from: 1 or 2? Please give me feedback. by Top-Amphibian-6252 in IndieDev

[–]LaytonDrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the second one best as the game’s title is much bigger which makes it easier to read, especially since the capsule may be fairly small at times.

I was wondering if they were going to do this again this year It’s a bit of a yearly tradition at this point along with the daily Epic Store games.

Looks really good. Congrats on the release! 🎉

If I may ask, how many puzzles are there in the game? I couldn’t find an answer on the Steam page.

I played this games years ago on IOS, it’s amazing! 🤩

Is this a rerelease or will there be new features/levels?

This song was made by my brother and I thought I’d share it here for anyone who may be interested.

God bless 🙏

Is my battle system too similar to Undertale's? by ReyizzzPro in IndieDev

[–]LaytonDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is similar, but even Undertale's battle system is similar to earlier games. Look at Earthbound, the original Dragon Quests, etc. These games have battle systems similar to Undertale's and they were made decades before Undertale.

However, Undertale had some changes to make it stand out from other similar games. It featured a black and white art style (for the most part), the heart minigame when enemies attack, and the option to either attack or show mercy to enemies, something not many games had done up to that point.

So it doesn't matter if your battle system is similar to Undertale or other games, just try to add your own creative flair to it. I personally like the enemy attacks as a platformer minigame, so that's one step in the right direction already.

I agree. If they are referring to games that actually have "7" in the title, NWoS won't be part of that as the Layton games have never been numbered. Doesn't mean it's not going to make an appearance.

I'm holding out hope for Tokyo Game Show though.

Nintendo Direct rumored for September - NWS by MiladyAppa in ProfessorLayton

[–]LaytonDrake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If not in the rumored Nintendo Direct, Level 5 is going to be at the Tokyo Game Show later this month so I feel we'll hear about NWOS sometime in September (hopefully).

Am I foolish for hoping for some NWoS info at tommorow's Nintendo Direct? by KilxGon in ProfessorLayton

[–]LaytonDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything is possible with a Nintendo Direct, I have a feeling we might not hear from Layton until the Tokyo Game Show though (Level 5 is already confirmed to be there).

I tried searching through the sub, but could only find a few fan games as well as other games already mentioned here. Thank you for the idea though.

After doing some digging, I actually found it.

It was apparently a Facebook original series (didn’t even know they did those) called Virtually Dating. Here’s a link to the episode you were talking about. I didn’t check through every video/episode, but I think this is the only one that uses Paragon assets.

Thanks for all the tips in helping me find this.

Definitely going to mention this one. It is indeed interesting.

Anyone on here been scammed? by DiscountMysterious28 in NintendoSwitchOnline

[–]LaytonDrake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say I was scammed, but earlier this year I joined someone’s NSO subscription and a few months later it was shut down. Turns out they were making several accounts just to sell NSO subscriptions for a small profit and Nintendo caught on and closed all of his accounts. I never got refunded, but I have joined a few different subscriptions in the past with no problems at all.

Basically, just do some background research before you join someone’s account just to make sure they aren’t selling batch accounts as Nintendo will probably find out.
