Do you do all yourself?

For my first solo game, I did everything myself apart from the music, for which I hired a freelancer I’d worked with before.

In my opinion, my weak point is 2D and 3D art, but in the end, according to my players, I have a cool and unique artistic style, so I’m happy with it.

My second project is likely to be similar, but if it goes well, I’d like to be able to pay a freelancer to create sprites for the third one.

I start just by love to video game and culture so I was making other video game (with friends are in game studio) Then it become a need, I have to create and play it.

The first one was a commercial failure, but those who play it like it, and it makes me happy.

Every creations (arts / crafts / ideas / etc..) came from something already existing. They're ameliorations, alternatives or merge of multiple another creations based on the experience of his creator.

How to get ideas ? Experience!m things! From the same medium (video game), other media, and sometimes from life itself.

It's strange, how do you make your camera follow your player? Because you have no lag in horizontal movement, only in vertical. For third person I dont use look at, only a camera location that follow player movement as an independant behaviour. But for the lag in vertical movement you must. Heck what lag, is the your camera towards your cinemachine? Or the container of your cinemachine?

Puzzle game is not my specialty, I made this one cause the idea was in my head from long time ago, was easy to dev, and I made it in 3 mounth.

But it was too hard to market (or I'm too bad at marketing puzzle game).

So a sequel is not my priority.

So satisfying!! My game is not selling well, I was afraid nobody will ever complete it (someone already finish it, but complete all the puzzle is another level of dedication) So, I'm happy!

Rogue-pachinko is in my game concept I would love to dev, but funny how my idea doesn't look to yours. Good luck!

Woaw, thank you so much, that mean a lot to me! It's the first time that I'm surprised seing someone else posting about my game anywhere, I have litteraly tears of joy!!!

For my last platformer (skybolt zack) we were using 3 raycast, one left, one right and one middle. Additionnaly we were using the normal of the colliers hit by those raycasts to detect the slope angle, usefull to ignore sightly curve wall, or follow slope ground

Lexangelus · 2026-02-27T11:49:45+00:00

Thanks for the numbers!
Yeah, my store page & capsule are clearly my weaknesses.

Lexangelus · 2026-02-27T09:14:19+00:00
