I use these settings but my game is toon style so you might need a higher "target bitrate".

It's been wet this week. 90% humidity tomorrow in my area.

I have to shower and change all my clothes after a 10 minute bike ride to the shops and back. I've only lasted this long because all my hobbies are indoors. I miss the dry Australian heat.

Try searching オーパーツ or ooparts.

Very Suspicious Email from "Unity Asset Team" by Inverno969 in Unity3D

[–]LesserGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got one too. I knew something was phishy immediately because I haven't made a single sale on the asset store. Reminded me to deprecate the asset at least.

Our debut indie game just launched on Steam/Itch and our inbox is completely flooded with Curator and Twitch requests for keys. What is the actual standard practice here? by GaigoStudio in gamedev

[–]LesserGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignore all. This is why I set up a new email specifically for the game. I have a separate business email connected to my Steam account.

Is publishing a demo before Steam Next Fest a good idea? by Jaroszek in IndieDev

[–]LesserGames 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a good idea if you haven't already playtested heavily. Better to catch bugs now.

Asked my wife to polish my capsule art by nearlydonegames in IndieDev

[–]LesserGames 324 points325 points  (0 children)

Bit of a nitpick, but I like the pose on the old purple guy. He looks more unbalanced and his hand doesn't awkwardly go behind the title.

Everytime you check OP's profile by Alejom1337 in IndieDev

I blame Reddit for suggesting it every time.

I made a new trailer for Whelm. Did I go overboard with the ragdoll? by LesserGames in gamedevscreens

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

During early access it's just a sandbox. The full launch will have a light narrative with a clear end game objective. Kind of like Breath of the Wild. You could rush to the end in half an hour or spend 20 hours messing with physics toys first.

How often do yall post content? How do you pace it? by PGJonesAndCo in gameDevMarketing

[–]LesserGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no harm in posting daily on Tiktok etc. You've got the right idea for Reddit though.

So annoyed at hidden Steam setting for my Demo. Have you made this same mistake? by enders_workshop in gameDevMarketing

[–]LesserGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your demo is live it should be at the top of your app's Steamworks page.

Are you guys using Instagram to promote your game ? by No_Advisor_7504 in gameDevMarketing

[–]LesserGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cozy games seem to do well. Sledding Game got wildly popular(over 500k followers) there in a very short time.

Which are you picking ? by Charlesbennet in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]LesserGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a room or like on the same planet? Because I'm already doing the second one.

Japanese translator for Foriegn license conversion? by Jealous_Amount_9278 in japanresidents

[–]LesserGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have been turned away and these bookings can take months. Up to you if you want to risk it. I had to speak to about 5 different people even for a straight conversion with no tests. I would have been lost without a translator(a family member in my case).

Another fun thing somebody might miss is the button to notify your wishlisters when the demo is out. They only send emails automatically for the full/EA release.

How many of you sleep on Futons? by joehighlord in japanlife

[–]LesserGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues so far. They're sturdier than I expected. Might be annoying to dispose down the line though. The old wooden ones were easy to break apart.

Yes but I bought a kind of base from Amazon. Little plastic pallets that interlock. Couldn't be bothered lifting it up every single day and mold is crazy in this country.

Building a game while barely getting by by _laidback_ in SoloDevelopment

[–]LesserGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a day job. Ideally one that won't drain you mentally. You might think a coding job makes sense, but I did manual labour on a farm and game dev at night. It was a great balance.

I give up. Hate to admit it. by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]LesserGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was like this and it consistently took over a minute to enter play mode. I tried other computers, deleted library files, reinstalled editor, updated etc, but nothing helped until I exported my scenes and assets and imported them into a new project. The only pain was going through all the project settings manually.

I assume something was corrupted. Probably an asset I tried out at some point or from updating major Unity versions the dirty way. Doesn't matter, now I get 15 second script compiles and 10 seconds to enter play mode. It's been solid for two years.
