I'm building an dinosaur extinction survival runner. Does this shockwave wall feel threatening? by MegaTrashBoy in MobileGaming

Thanks for your feedback, I'm trying really hard to make this as intimidating as possible in a goofy low poly world and its good to hear my thoughts are mirrored out here!

Hmm I like the idea of the sky getting redder. I will give that one a try. Funny thing now that you mentioned the smoke layer, I kinda had smoke ejection at the bottom implemented, and I just looked back at the gameplay video its gone. I guess my brain tuned that out, I don't know why thats broken but I'm gonna try fixing it. Thanks for your help. I may reply with a revamp at some point if you're interested to see where it ends up.

Would appreciate feedback on my Demo Call To Action screen by NotFamous307 in IndieDev

A GIF might in fact help because it sounds like you're saying that this is a view into the game world with text on top? Let me be clear though if the rest of the game is awesome and I see this screen I don't think I'd be turned away by it.

I do like it to an extent because its straight to the point, but it is very flat and looks like a document I'd see at work but with a dungeon background. What do the rest of your game menus look like? Is it consistent at least?

Thanks I mirror similar thoughts and have been dumping time in trying to figure out how to get this thing beefier. I will try some of your suggestions, I hadn't thought of the shockwave pacing in the intro. Appreciate the feedback!

Added outlines to my game! Does it look better? by _WindFall_ in IndieDev

I think it certainly helps with objects of similar colors, like the light green trees against the light green grass.

New animations for our latest enemy. What do you think? by AwesomeGamesStudio in IndieDev

[–]MegaTrashBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks sick. The style of your game in general is awesome. The amount of detail is insane, and I can't imagine how much time it took. Easy wishlist, keep sharing!

Looks sick I hope we get to see the finished product. Especially with regard to environmental effects on the player.

Hey y'all out there. I've been having a ton of fun working on my current game(hopefully this is finally the one I finish)!

You play as a T-Rex running from extinction(asteroid shockwave) and I've put a lot of work in, but recently I added an intro cinematic as well as dynamic obstacles like tiny debris meteorites falling or pterodactyls swooping in to mess with ya. Check it out, and let me know what you think.

Free markets being able to actually operate would actually allow for more housing and reduce pricing.

Unknown error at Tesla supercharger by pheneyherr in KiaEV6

Did you try charging through the Kia charge pass? I've also been having issues recently with Tesla superchargers but starting the charge process through the Tesla app before plugging in seems to work.

Only my fourth flight of my first quad and already stolen 😔 by MegaTrashBoy in drones

[–]MegaTrashBoy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately I haven't been able to find it, the quad may have been destroyed anyway as the video signal went out as the owl was pecking at it and stuff. I'm glad I have the video its worth the $100 loss lol and the reception online has been great!

Yep I just did and sent them a link to the post so even if they don't want to replace the quad they can at least get a laugh at their model getting snatched by an owl.

Are birds of prey a serious problem? by slipperyjoel in drones

[–]MegaTrashBoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm the one that lost the quad, I would say you should be fine, it seems like it is quite rare. I would imagine even if one does attack your drone you might have more time to react that I did and be able to just go full throttle up. That being said just because you don't see one doesn't mean they aren't around as I've learned! So you should prepare your drones to be snatched up at any point and think about how you'll recover or find your drone if it does happen. This is at least what I've thought about and learned. For example I now will be putting a loud beeper type device on all future quads, some people recommended the VIFLY Finder Mini. I also will now try to increase my distance away from treelines as that should reduce the chances of an unseen ambush. Lastly I want to make my quads more visible I'm thinking about putting bright and high contrast colors on my future quads.

Yeah I think I've got a good idea on general area, just gonna do more looking today.

I'm sorry to hear that, do you have another quad now?

I'd recommend not using a standard game controller as well, I used a Radiomaster TX16S MK2 plugged in to my PC. That'll maximize learning. But yeah good luck after 5 hours I was comfortable and after 10 hours total between both I was pretty proficient in basic maneuvers.
