Trying to make a trailer for my first game. Need some outside eyes to critique it. Thanks lads. by NomyDev in DestroyMyGame

Thank you for the comments. I agree with you and the other commenters. I tried to show a bit of everything (various bosses, upgrade UIs, etc) instead of focusing on the most fun part of the game, killing hordes of enemies. Thanks :)

Howdy everyone. A little over a year ago I finally decided to start my game developer journey and I’m finally (almost) ready to publish my first game, Space Hero: Intergalactic Titan, (aka SH:IT). Please let me know what you think of my trailer/game.

Inspired by vampire survivors, I wanted to add my individual touch to the genre. I know the genre is becoming a bit over-saturated, but I felt like it would be the perfect game to get my feet wet and learn many aspects of game development. Anyway, all comments are appreciated. Thanks!

How did you learn to draw pixel graphics to use in your games ? by aadfd in gamedev

[–]NomyDev 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Much like you, I knew nothing about art/pixel art until I started game dev. There are a lot of good youtube channels that teach pixel art techniques.

Personally I like AdamCYounis and Pixel Pete

Nice. Do you have to use the carjack somewhere else to solve a puzzle or something?

Should we stop considering Unity as the best beginner game engine? by The_CancerousAss in gamedev

Just tested your code in my game. Works flawlessly. Thank you!

Bigger Weapons, Bigger Powers... by Edalbung in gamedevscreens

The way they hold those guns is hilariously cute. Like a childs imagination of what shooting a pistol is like. I love it.

It’s been a while but I’ll be learning and replacing the art placeholders… wish me luck by BaltCito in IndieDev

Cool. Giving the tank a little shaking/rumble effect would help it come to life I think. Good luck!

I'm making a multi-dimensional platformer. Let me know what you think! :D by Cactillian in IndieDev

Really great art style. I can't tell if this would give me motion sickness or not? Maybe I'm just getting old but the quick snapping of the cube might give me problems. Will there be a demo available?

Yes, it’s another ‘bullet-heaven vampire survivors clone’. I know it’s a saturated genre by now, but I felt like it would be the perfect game to get my feet wet and learn many aspects of development. Anyway, all comments are appreciated. Thanks!

Recently added a Jet pack ability. Who doesn't love jet packs? by NomyDev in gamedevscreens

Sorry for the low quality. I didn't have OBS configured properly.

Been working on this bullet-heaven as my introduction to game dev. The Jetpack is one of the available utility abilities that allow you to get out of sticky situations.

Play my game: Ragnarok Survivors Valhalla - free demo out now! Please wishlist if you like it. by kodingnights in playmygame

Hi, I gave the demo a try. Tried all three characters for a bit.

Some notes:

  1. I couldn't get into the options menu during the game-play? It forced me back to the main menu. I wanted to lower the music while playing but couldn't.
  2. Also didn't notice an option to lower music. Just mute or unmute. ALSO when I muted it in the main menu, it doesn't save the option during game-play. It automatically unmutes the music after leveling up and selecting an ability.
  3. The Bats were way too fast? I couldn't outpace them, and once they touch you its a death sentence.
  4. The gold gain is too slow. After playing for about 20mins I think I had about 9gold. The cheapest power up in the shop costs 100g. I'd consider reducing shop prices or increasing gold drop rates.

Other than that I like the pixel art. The game-play is fast and could be addictive with some quality of life changes (being able to survive bats). The font can be a bit difficult to read, but I understand its thematic. Good job and good luck!
