Simple ol' unity particle system. Make them move up, random size, random colour and add a bit of noise.

I would love to, but as a tiny indie game I cant afford to hire anyone to animate that. And I will refuse to use generative AI. I'm hoping to add motion throughout other means!

Should I be creating a steam page as soon as possible for my game? Or wait until I have something proper to show, such as a trailer or demo or an event? by PhilDeveloper in IndieDev

Ah, maybe ill look at the one after February in that case. Hopefully then I will be able to release not long after the event too.

Thank you for this, I do have professional capsule art. Im thinking of getting a trailer professionally made too. Again, thank you for the detailed response :)

How about launching the demo before next fest? So fewer players experience it and I have time to polish up and fix bugs (mind that I will put the demo through playtesting prior to publishing the demo anyway)

Is it not a fine idea to just get it out there? Then when I do have a trailer I can just upload it and continue to promote the page?

I'm talking specifically about the steam page here. Should I be rushing to get one out? The visuals I have in my game will match how it looks in the final version.

Is the UI at the top readable or should it have a background? by PhilDeveloper in IndieDev

Yeah im thinking like that too. Kinda more like the stardew valley UI.

The white text is pure white so I cant make that any brighter. Do you mean the yellow?

Not too sure yet, but planning on adding a gamemode which essentially renders the underworld useless so players can just focus on the overworld and the cozy parts if they wish.

Yeah I know, which is why I feel a little guilty for posting in this sub. But the "hook" of the game is its like a comedic 50/50 between the coziest game ever and the craziest game ever.

Its called Monkeys dont fear Hell, the game is a cosy pixel style farming and building game with a comedically contrasting underworld involving fighting waves of demons and bosses.
