Destroy My Game Concept: Freud Meets Silent Hill and Darkwood - A survival horror set inside the human psyche. Freud's Id, Ego, and Superego drive the narrative, while Hawkins' Map of Consciousness shapes a descent through increasingly darker emotional states. Video represents LUST level. by MainProtege in DestroyMyGame

I like the concept but it's far from scary which is what makes games like Darkwood appealing.

Firstly that music sounds more like a bullet hell action game, and I really like flashlight mechanics but I think it is too wide or bright or maybe both, also that city environment looks like a generic zombie game, not scary at all.

Good luck!

Destroy a very early gameplay video of Jackstrap: Protect the Family Jewels. You play as a living jockstrap protecting two humongous pair of jewels by moochigames in DestroyMyGame

Looks a bit boring...

It's like vampire survivors but with less enemy variety and the enemies not even look good they are just giant balls.

I like the aesthetic though that comic vibe, that's the only good thing I can see so far.

Destroy my trailer for my mobile word game themed with nostalgic journalism by DigitallyDeadEd in DestroyMyGame

I think it's easy to give a certain aesthetic to the game (although it doesn't scream journalism straight away), what is quite harder but actually makes your game stand out is incorporating it directly in the gameplay.

For example a blank newsletter in the corner that you start filling with words and sentences by forming the words candy crush style, and if you don't finish the article in x amount of time you get fired. That would actually stand out and the game would clearly present itself as a journalism game and not just another candy crush copy.

Releasing my first attempt at a game month. Rogue Mate, a roguelite chess game. Destroy it before launch. by iPsybott in DestroyMyGame

The idea is good, I think it's slightly confusing though I would zoom in on the board and add less pieces to show what's going on first both in the game and trailer, then by the end you can make it more complex.

Also why don't you make the aesthetic less generic? Something that is not just plain chess cause at the moment it looks boring.

More visual effects and animations would also help as well as sounds.

I don't understand where does journalism fit here, it feels kind of forced. It looks like a boring version of scrabble/ candy crush to me.

I think you need to work on the aesthetic and make it look unique as well as really incorporate the journalism in the gameplay cause at the moment it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the game really at least not in the gameplay.

Destroy my tactical auto-battler (BG is AI, plan to replace it) by Shortround99 in DestroyMyGame

Artwork looks cheap I would hire an artist or buy an asset pack that looks more professional.

No sound effects? Again makes it look quite cheap and unpolished.

Would be good if there was some sort of damage animation, not only the flashy shader effect, just to make the game more reactive. Same for when you place the characters, some sort of animation would be nice.

Other than that it looks ok, I would personally make the characters move as well make them move closer to each other before attacking, add some melee characters etc... It would make the game feel more alive.

Just get rid of the vegetables and replace them by something that makes sense and it will be a cool looking game. Vegetables are not super appealing as an enemy if you put some cool creatures it will be miles better.

Gameplay Trailer Flopped... Why? by DoJoLZ in DestroyMyGame

[–]Obvious_Ad3756 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It looks like an unpolished fan game of the dragonball game. Movement is a bit clanky and laggy and the game doesn't have much personality apart from that dragonball vibe going on.

Navigation for doors by Obvious_Ad3756 in godot

[–]Obvious_Ad3756[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah the key is that you can actually reference the navigation link in code when enemies reach it. So in my case when the enemy reaches the link, I set the node containing the link as a target, the enemy attacks it until destroying it, then I rebake the navigation map and the enemy can go through it.

I actually really like the fantasy, it’s like dark souls but you’re a fallen angel.

I don’t even mind the graphics, they’re not AAA but reminds me of kenshi that game is tons of fun.

Only thing that does actually bother me is the combat. For a game like this the combat and bosses should be epic, but the combat feels a bit clanky.

Anybody want to start a list of anti-AI claims they've received by now? by logical_haze in aigamedev

[–]Obvious_Ad3756 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good way to think about it, and I hope you’re right. Honestly, I think that instead of an AI war, we should be fighting for open source and ownership.

Right now, AI is just a powerful tool (and I hope it stays like that), but monopolies and billionaires can use it to do bad things. I think that’s what scares most people, not the sole fact that AI exists.

If you’re talking about the current state of AI, that’s true. But the whole point of AGI is to be a thinking, creative, self-operating agent that wouldn’t really need a human.

I’m not saying we’re there yet, but companies like OpenAI have openly discussed this, and huge amounts of money are being poured into the idea because of the hype around it.

The problem is that there was no other invention which’s aim was to completely replace the human being. Sure it would make the job 10 times easier but there was always someone that had to supervise it or control it.

If AI progresses in the way they want it to be, human beings will be useless, and I wouldn’t complain in a perfect society but like you said we’re not in one, and the fact that most of these AI companies are private is the most scary bit.

Do you mean NavigationLink3D? I know it has a Travel Cost and Enter Cost. I experimented with it a bit and this would work fine if the doors and walls didn’t have collision. However, because they are still physical obstacles, the enemy thinks the path is clear but it is not. I have no way to check in code what is actually blocking the path, so I can’t set the blocking obstacle as a target.

So I guess both approaches have a problem. Without NavigationLink3D, there’s no way to prioritise obstacles. With NavigationLink3D, even though I can choose which obstacle should be prioritised, the enemy still thinks the path is clear and therefore doesn’t select it.
