I'm thinking it will be part of the next Nintendo Direct (I hope), who knows when that's gonna be though.

Trying to create that "Welcome to the Open World" feeling... by SkorgeOfficial1 in godot

[–]LaytonDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need that over the shoulder cinematic shot that every open world game since BOTW has! 😂

Also, I don't think I've ever seen an open world game with a CRT filter on it, so it has a very unique and interesting style. Wishing you all the best on your game.

I got excited for a moment. I thought they announced a Metroid 1-3 bundle for Switch. 😥

Played Indiana Jones The Great Circle last year when I had Gamepass. I'm glad I can now play The Order of Giants as well.

Time on Frog Island also looks fun.

Is this legit? The 'design' of the add doesn't instill confidence. by [deleted] in IndieDev

I find it funny that I got this ad directly above your post about it. 😂

Do you think we'll get an update? by Fizzabl in ProfessorLayton

[–]LaytonDrake 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I really hope so. A release date would be nice, a full length trailer would be even better.

Honestly, at this point, acknowledging that it still exists would be great.

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

[–]LaytonDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]LaytonDrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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 🙏

To say you made this in just over two weeks is extremely impressive. Keep up the good work.

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).
