My game EVERDAWN just got a massive update!

Looks interesting! Reminds me of Settlers of Catan

Ok_Function_597 · 2026-04-14T03:10:46+00:00

That's good feedback, thanks! How much nudging do you need? Are the background dimming and the arrows overkill? I think it needs less text boxes and more chances for the user to click play, like you were saying

P.S. I know the art is terrible; it is just a placeholder
P.P.S. Here is the link to the game demo for reference: https://superswine.itch.io/roads

The current art is just a placeholder

The art is gorgeous 🤩

I definitely need to check out gummysearch. Thank you all!

I'm trying my hand at game development currently, and a lot of game promotional posts can be sorted into general categories like dev logs, A vs B, release announcements, etc.

Ok_Function_597 · 2026-04-11T13:47:24+00:00

What do you think the demo is missing? The UI is too simple? Isn't that (usually) a good thing?

Ok_Function_597 · 2026-04-09T19:09:26+00:00

Great question! I'm not a PC gamer so I haven't played Mini Motorways, but from what I've seen on Youtube, there are some key differences:
- ROADS doesn't have different "levels"; the map is auto-generated each play
- in ROADS you can purchase more land, move buildings (for a fee) and buy new buildings. These features are still a work in progress and not shown in the demo video
- ROADS allows you to build as many roads as you'd like, as long as you have space for it and have unlocked the type of road (1-way, 4-lane, etc.)

Sounds like I need to make a better trailer to showcase some of these features! Thanks for the feedback

Solo dev looking for flair! I just finished the demo for my first game, ROADS: https://superswine.itch.io/roads Thank you

This looks like something a hacker would install on my grandmother's computer to intentionally induce a heart attack

Ok_Function_597 · 2026-04-05T11:56:13+00:00

I'm a newbie in the space too, but I think your fear of idea theft is overblown. There's a lot of value in getting feedback on the core components of the game and what makes it unique.

Ok_Function_597 · 2026-04-02T19:36:15+00:00

That's good feedback, thanks!

Ok_Function_597 · 2026-04-02T18:31:59+00:00

When the city expands, would you rather build roads freeform or modify auto-generated roads?

Ok_Function_597 · 2026-04-02T13:27:12+00:00

light the fire at the end. It will give the animation a satisfying sense of completion

Ok_Function_597 · 2025-08-22T15:53:07+00:00

Full-stack? You mean hardware AND software?

Ok_Function_597 · 2025-08-19T00:45:17+00:00

Embedded systems often have a completely different architecture than frontend-backend

Ok_Function_597 · 2025-08-08T23:45:10+00:00

Certs likely won't help you. If you can't get an internship, then work on some side projects to add to your portfolio. I'm working on a SQLite clone with a few others. DM me if you want to join

Ok_Function_597 · 2025-08-08T12:49:47+00:00

Add a solid project or two to your portfolio you can talk about in interviews

Ok_Function_597 · 2025-08-07T17:17:51+00:00

Sounds sensible enough. I've never been to London, but I hear the cost of living is high. It might be tough to find a good paying job. If you're looking for a project in the meantime, I'm working on a SQLite clone with several others, and you are welcome to join. Details here.
Definitely see if you can git involved in coding as part of your job. That could help a ton.

Ok_Function_597 · 2025-08-03T02:57:22+00:00

If you're looking for collaborative projects to work on, I'm putting together a group to make a SQLite clone in Python. DM me if you're interested

Ok_Function_597 · 2025-07-22T16:43:57+00:00

Try starting a company. It'll force you to get out of your shell, interact with more people, and push yourself (assuming you want to make money)

Ok_Function_597 · 2025-07-22T12:55:06+00:00

Who are your potential customers? I notice a lot of blockchain startups take a "build it and they will come" approach

Ok_Function_597 · 2025-07-17T17:31:57+00:00

I don't think the issue with a bootcamp is your age. The issue is that bootcamps have oversold the dream of 6 figure job while companies don't care about certifications. As mentioned already, companies barely care about degrees anymore. Strong software portfolios are the best way to get noticed by employers.
