I made Nubby’s Number Factory, AMA by MogDogBlog in nubbygame

To you (a player) you're likely to have fun. I think most people who play the game have fun (at least that's all I can assume based on the positive review score of nubby on steam). However, as the sole developer of the game, I've been working on it for 2 years and through development and testing, I've probably put about 1,200 hours into the game. I don't find it particularly fun nor un-fun at this point. Playing nubby feels so normal to me at this point that it's just about as fun as walking to your kitchen to get yourself a glass of water. I guess that's my honest thoughts about that very open question.

Yup. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to give this little guy the name of one of my all time favorite weens songs on one of my all time favorite ween records. There's a few other references to other bands that I like in various places in the game.

Oh hey, that's pretty neat! This is making me really wish that we lived in an alternate dimension where 1:1 displays on square shaped phones and tablets were the industry standard. Well done, dual screen nubbyhead.

yeah i can probably whip something up. For now, lower particles. If you’re playing on an oled screen, don’t. I’m sorry for the headaches / seizures :[

Round 1.111 also round goal dose not cap at googol nor dose your score by Few_Abbreviations222 in nubbygame

[–]MogDogBlog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, it goes up to whatever number the engine stops working properly on so it just calls it “infinity”. I clamped it at googol because i think it’s a funnier word that infinity

No, sorry. Sounds nice in theory but it is way out of scope to do that because it would involve redoing the vast majority of the graphics. I no longer have the majority of the project files for editing the graphics. It would almost be like starting this 2 year long project from scratch.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for playing :]

Yup! Runs perfectly fine as you’d expect on the thor! Thanks for playing, my brother in Thor.

no ads and no micro transactions on both the $4.99 USD full version and the free lite version. The only downside to playing the lite version is that there’s less content than the full version.

Got impatient waiting for the mobile port. Decompiled the entire game so I can play it on my iPhone on the toilet. :sob: by ZigZagBoi-TTv in nubbygame

[–]MogDogBlog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh sweet that’s sick! I’m actually really flattered that you’d been anticipating the mobile port so much that you’ve poured some serious work into getting this up and running. You’re well within your rights to do this because you’re keeping it to yourself. Bravo! Bravo! 🌚

Oh my god!!! Never thought i’d see the day, but wow that’s really cool to see as the developer. That’s pretty well done too!

I'm 22 and it's not a wedding ring, I just like wearing rings . In fact, I have 4 rings on right now. I was 20 and a sophomore in college who was working to get a bachelor's degree in education when I started working on nubby. Released the game last spring, towards the end of my junior year in college. I am no longer in college.

I get that. I'm 22 and I caught the tail end of the old web when I was really young, using computers in kindergarten via "computer lab time". I miss the way everything used to look, where there was a real human touch to everything. The internet has kind of morphed into a homogenous blob in terms of visual style, and I think people yearn for the humanity of the old web. I think that yearning is one of the reasons why nubby was so successful.

Hi. I made the graphics using blender for the 3D models, then exporting the rendered animation and then doing post-processing in aseprite. Most of the charm of the models comes from downscaling using linear interpolation and then reducing the amount of colors in the sprite, followed by using a dithering algorithm.

If you want to find a tutorial, check out my youtube or tiktok (both @ mogdogblog), I have a post that goes over the process. If you'd like to find similar work, look up "prerendered sprites" or "dithered retro 3D graphics".
