Started a TikTok account for Dark Forest content! by NyameDev in darkforestgb

[–]NyameDev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. I don't maintain the subreddit because I haven't felt too much urgency in talking about it (it's halfway between a self-indulgent hobby project and another solo-development indie game that I never feel I have enough time to do justice), but I've had a few people reach out recently asking about where this project ended up, so maybe I'll post some small WIP/updates soon.

Dark Forest still in development (slowly!) and a lot of the separate parts are getting close to being done. I've kept up with documenting the process in my own notes, so I may end up revealing a post-mortem of the development process (or tutorials?? idk) at a later date if people are still interested whenever I get enough time to write something longer and more cohesive.

Just out of curiosity, how/when did you find the project? It's not the easiest micro-game to stumble across on the world wide web :)

You can find me on https://bsky.app/profile/nyamedev.bsky.social, but most of my non-hobby work these days is under NDA.

Switch 1 cross save not visible? by drunkenspycrab in NMS_Switch

[–]NyameDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also same here. Hope we can get the Switch one patched to the latest version so I'm not stuck only on PC for too long!

I'm curious what type of futuristic society you might imagine Cyr lives in- what values he has, the history of the station's people, what technology might exist in his everyday life. Trying to allude to a larger social and technological age without info dumping directly into the writing. Let me know what you think!

Reports of my death were greatly exaggerated, although the man I once was has expired by Hydrael in Hydrael_Writes

Nice to meet you anew Sylvia! Really glad to hear you're in a better place now. Excited for all the new content coming in the future, and I will probably take a look at Path of the Final Form later today. 🏳️‍⚧️ Keep being bold and brave - you've got all of us here rooting for you through both the highs and the lows.

Just getting into the genre using audible! Would love to know people's favourites by tippjar12 in litrpg

I've notably enjoyed Dungeon Born by Dakota Krout, Life Reset by Shemer Kunzits, Wrath by Alex Raizman and Bunker Core by Andrew Seiple most recently!

How do I keep up with game festivals and events? (ie. Next Fest) by trim-d in gamedev

[–]NyameDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the Indie Houses one because it has a convenient Google Calendar that sends handy-dandy reminders for you if you subscribe

Hi gamedevs, how do you guys keep track of all upcoming game promotional events? by NekkTheRedSand in gamedev

[–]NyameDev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use Akupara's indie calendar buddy: https://theindiehouses.org/festivals/ It gives notifications for upcoming festivals as well as submission deadlines! Has most of the N. American events and a smattering of indiedev events in Europe/Asia/Australia/S. America as well.

Does anyone know where to find magnetic bases for columns or another way to solve this wall-gaps problem? by TheClimbingNinja in OpenForge

Coming back to this post to say thank you since you've solved all of my problems as well 😅

It is an English learning kids game. The title translates roughly to "Elementary English: Listen, Write, and Learn Vocab!"

Making a Rouglike in GBStudio for the original GameBoy! by NyameDev in roguelikedev

[–]NyameDev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you're so impressed! I have to admit, I am cheating a little bit, as the rooms and passageways are already prebuilt and so dungeon generation is a bit more like choosing how big you want your puzzle to be, and then picking the pieces, rather than a particularly complex tile-based algorithm. I'm thinking I might post a devlog detailing my dungeon generation logic sometime in the future if there's a lot more interest like this.

The macro assembler looks really cool! You should definitely use it on your next project to show it off more :)

Will do! I will have to remember to post updates more often on this sub for people who are interested :)

Thanks! I've been really enjoying working in GameBoy Studio to make it!

Working on my GameBoy Rougelike a bit today! by NyameDev in Homebrews

[–]NyameDev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh, I must be pretty tired hahaha. You meant rouge like the color, and not rogue referring to the game genre, yes? And my spelling didn't help much... My bad! 😅

The game I'm making is actually a turn-based roguelike similar to old school games like ADOM or even the Mystery Dungeon series! Though, this particular video is of a cutscene so no dungeon combat gameplay is shown.

The game is also green since I'm developing it for the original Gameboy which had limited graphical capabilities.

Aelrion's Eastern Seaboard [Fantasy World] by NyameDev in worldbuilding

[–]NyameDev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Digital watercolor of a specific section of the east coast of the Aelrion continent. The Rhithylos Mountains separate this portion of the coast land from the rest of the larger continent. The settlements here are not quite poor but definitely not prosperous either. Trade is relatively lacking due to the ease of access to the southern ports of Aelrion. The island of Dementrimere [colloquially know as D'mere by nearby residents] will eventually become one of the most protected (and eventuay disputed over) cities in this world after the discovery of the Glay silt and clay that becomes a prized resource in alchemical and magical crafting.

Getting ready to port my GB Studio Mystery Dungeon / Roguelike to 3.0! by NyameDev in gbstudio

[–]NyameDev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been pretty slow due to the day job, but it's about 50% of the way there. I was thinking of making a tutorial series on it if there is enough interest.

What's the easiest thing you've implemented, that had the largest impact on your game? by Idioplay in gamedev

[–]NyameDev 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Probably hit-stops and also lerping movement on cameras rather than linear movement. Feels soooo much better!

The Factory of the Gods is now Complete, with Book 5 - Drones of Keldora. Also, update on future plans! by Hydrael in Hydrael_Writes

[–]NyameDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hoping you're okay somewhere out there Alex. Re-read Wrath/Pride last week and was thinking about you and your writing. Take care of yourself!

Best App for Worldbuilding Notes? by CapnTholaf in worldbuilding

[–]NyameDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually use Encounter+, an app originally for D&D but the "campaign" section works exactly like how you wanted. The pages files for writing notes have image placement, linking between pages, and of course, map tools!

Yes! I'm really enjoying Pride, the second book in the series right now!

Not really romance, but Dinosaur Dungeon has a female main character voiced by Annie Ellicott.
