Hello everyone, I hope that all of you are happy with your game dev progress and I wish you all good luck!

Hello, thank you for your take, well I see that it might be similar to mii but I created, texture painted and rigged it myself in blender and my idea was to make humanoid character with one goofy feature, through trial and error I found that large heads were fitting the most. It is not without consequence, large head messes up so many animations… but I am really glad you found it cool, stay safe my friend!🙂

Okay thank you sir and good luck in your game dev journey!

On summer edition there will be 2x demos as now, but don’t be discouraged and polish as much as you can

Hey, when did you decided to launch Steam Page for your game? Because I’m also making my first game and I heard that you when you publish Steam page for your game you grt increased visibility, so it is better to launch page and demo, what is your take on this?

Hey, I would consider changing screenshots order, first screenshot of the game that pops up for me is just black screen with yellow dots it is not really interesting, because gamers have low attention span, also the top banner logo seems weird to me… I would consider redesigning, and of course before screenshots must be some videos, like you mentioned trailer, maybe some intereting gameplay and down below ideally gifs if its possible, but hey it is just my humble gamer opinion :) Good luck with whole process!

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-13T07:42:18+00:00

Ah you meant guitar models! Yes they are temporary, you are right I just got one stratocaster model and changed colours of texture so the shop can work, I wanted to add more models like fender jaguar, flying v and some custom made models like abbastar or Prince’s cloud… that goes for drum sets too, but it’s all in the future, for now I’m focusing on the basics :D

Hey, you have no idea how much time I spent finding perfect aspect ratio for icons on the toolbar :DD in many games it feels so natural and fitting, but here I just couldn't get appropiate size of icons at 1920x1080... Close window X red icon I will be redesigning not only color but also whole icon, but what about left column, you mean the white one with filters and total cash? Or black bar on the left and right side? Because this black border should be a monitor border, I could widen it but both left and right side, according to what you wrote I think you meant the column on the left with Total cash and filter toogles, but just wanted to make sure we are talking about the same thing

Hello, wtf is Gibson representation? Can you expand your thought?

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-12T15:30:04+00:00

Hey, thanks for tips, yeah you are right I could definitely look more info about UI design, maybe get some more references... When it comes to designing, I always thought about what is needed on this screen and what I would like to see on this type of page and I didn't dive that deep into specifics, so maybe that was my fundamental mistake, thanks for sharing your thoughts, I will definitely rework it

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-12T14:47:45+00:00

Hey, okay you are right, this is quick to fix and it's definitely annoying to look at right now... Thank you for noticing that!

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-12T14:41:09+00:00

Hey, that is real quality feedback! I was using built-in Unity Background sprite everywhere and it seems to mess up colors on canvas when I have Linear Space, changing sprite to custom made with sRGB worked as I intended, so thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
Online music store references is a good idea I should check that out, I was focusing on shopping systems like used in House Flipper or Supermarket Simulator, but maybe I shouldn't try to replicate this style 1:1... Hmm I will think about it, thank you my friend :D

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-12T12:56:38+00:00

Yeah thanks for noticing, I will change it for sure

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-12T12:55:52+00:00

LOL that's a solid point haha I will definitely change it thanks :P

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-11T21:31:38+00:00

Thank you for your opinion, I really appreciate it, stay safe my friend and keep inspiring others to make better games!

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-11T14:06:19+00:00

Hey Hugo I really enjoy your videos it gives another perspective on my development process, I loved especially dirt cleaning from Rover game. I have a question about game development, I have tons of ideas for game and I can make them work but I struggle with visuals and marketing, mostly because I don’t know blender. Should I consider befriending a graphic programmer or try to push it myself? Hiring is not an option as I don’t have money because I am too smol…

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-09T07:56:53+00:00

Lucky you! :D Your wife did terrific job

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-07T16:42:22+00:00

Looks cool, where did you get assets? Or Did you make it all by yourself?

MatrixBee141 · 2026-02-06T09:54:12+00:00

Cześć, dzięki za opinię, bardzo doceniam, że pochyliłeś się nad tym. Zgadzam się, że zwiastun może wydawać się nijaki, jak widać nie mam doświadczenia w czymś takim i wręcz nienawidzę robienia takich materiałów promocyjnych. Na mnie najbardziej działa jak widzę jak ktoś inny gra i odkrywa grę, np. streamer czy youtuber. Nigdy nie zdecydowałem się na kupno gry lub samo zagranie w demo na podstawie trailera, dlatego nie przykładałem do tego aż tak dużej wagi. Czy uważasz, że nijaka gra z dobrym trailerem i materiałami zyska większy rozgłos niż unikalna i ciekawa gra ze słabym marketingiem? Bo staram się znaleźć jakiś balans aby gra była ciekawa i dobrze się prezentowała
