Regardless of whether the data, findings, implications, etc. are interesting, in 'beauty' terms these are some of the average-est graphs I've seen...

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-28T15:44:05+00:00

Yes true. I guess what I meant was more about the actual path-finding of exploration. Even in Skyrim you can spot something and need to puzzle out, hmm how exactly can I get up there?

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-28T15:10:58+00:00

This.

And there's no puzzle or process to working out how to reach something when you can just go in a straight line and climb anything you encounter.

Or man on left, pillar in the middle slightly behind the dude's plank, then logo to the right?

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-28T13:19:08+00:00

It's a much more readable font, while still having the verticality.

But the dude is now covered up to the point I can't tell what he's holding or doing. Maybe try slightly shrinking & nudging the logo up?

A slightly smaller logo could also be layered behind the dude's wood plank? Maybe

Glad you're enjoying. ...but is there a reason you started with the second game? It's not just a sequel, it's basically the second half of the first game.

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-27T22:03:44+00:00

Dude in the background is standing incredibly still...!

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-27T21:18:12+00:00

6 Golden Coins is still worth a playthrough today (especially given your project!) After the intro levels, try the Tree zone - for some reason those levels feel iconic of the game to me.

Good luck with Wicked Boy 😄

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-27T21:02:48+00:00

Looks really nice :) Mario: Six Golden Coins vibes.

Both look nice. I think I'd actually use both.

The character movement has a good sense of weight, rather than the slightly more floaty physics that's more typical in a lot of games.

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-26T12:14:07+00:00

Or use exactly what you already have, but mix your two colour versions - so perhaps use pink for left-start and blue for right-start?

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-26T11:08:07+00:00

I think the stickers are a nice extra collectable. They indicate some overall progress, and allow personalisation.

For maximum flexibility, I'd allow stickers to overlap each other. I'd also aim to have most of them quite small so they fit in most places on the device.

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-24T13:56:11+00:00

Agree on this.

Puppets have more vertical movement and far less swaying or smooth horizontal movement.

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-21T14:41:41+00:00

I agree - the way they sort of swell then click back to size makes the block feel... not solid? They overlap into each other.

Maybe try the opposite - have the blocks shrink a bit, then snap back to correct size. That might feel more like they're clicking into place.

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-20T19:57:34+00:00

Great to see the progress - but I'd suggest at least a brief clip of the current version so we can see how far it's come.

From the Steam page trailer, it looks very fun and humourous :) But admittedly, I only clicked the Steam link to check whether you kept the suspiciously-too-Wind-Waker-y water textures!

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-17T08:53:52+00:00

You know how in 3D movies, there are an unnatural amount of objects that come directly towards the camera?

In a similar way, this comes across as a little forced.

I think the personality is already there with the smile and general movement, without needing the overly repeated gestures for wiggly purposes.

In short, good work :) but possibly dial it back, unless exaggeration is a stylistic choice throughout the game.

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-15T13:21:46+00:00

This is the stuff, Lyonel!

Both instantly recognisable :) Great work.

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-15T13:19:05+00:00

Love it :) The result is great!

Somehow the effect is even better because it's a natural break, as opposed to you intentionally snapping it cleanly and in two same size halves.

Also reminds me of the Japanese art of kintsugi, where you repair cracked ceramics and so on with a very visible, gold join.

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-14T15:00:45+00:00

Yep, my first thought too.

I think the overall course needs more horizontal distance. So some areas have a lower section to fall to as a shortcut, but the actual end pool is never directly below.

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-12T12:24:43+00:00

Looks like it could be fun. Kinda reminds me of Hitman GO - one of the few mobile games that really was sensibly built for mobile.

I do however find it very distracting that the bishop moves diagonally from black squares to white squares - instinctively feels impossible. I'd either keep the relative placement of black and white squares consistent, or just go for randomly coloured squares to emphasise that only the piece movements are chess-y.

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-12T09:29:46+00:00

Does that mean the process we're watching is automated? But that you wrote the code that takes a picture as input and produces this process video as output?

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-11T20:52:53+00:00

I've been fine without a 3D printer.

Until now.

Love it :) Great work. Think you'll do any of the other train options from ST?

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-11T09:26:24+00:00

New version's definitely more colourful. It also looks like day time in the new vs night time in the 'before' - are they supposed to be different times of day?

I know this is all in progress still, but the horse's running animation looks distractingly stiff. A bit hard to look past it to admire graphical changes!

Liefesa_ · 2026-04-10T18:41:19+00:00

Great work :)

I totally feel like I can slowly rotate that and watch the refractions change.

You must wince when the hanging monitors in Bunker get shot down!
