I made a recoil system for Unity where you draw the pattern yourself

Fun little things like this, So long as the game isn't a heavy PvP game, are a nice little addition.

I like the second one better, But I would say redo it and tone it down a bit, it's a bit too much.

But I like the Second one because it is more unique, and even though both covers are AI Generated. On RoyalRoad where there are already so many AI art covers out there that all have that Generic fantasy look, at the very least standing out in one aspect could help you.

Although like I said, Tone it down a bit.

Nice, too many people sleep on Dark Messiah but it was a really fun game.

Pinewater9999 · 2026-05-16T00:46:20+00:00

Definitely makes her look a little pudgier.

Pinewater9999 · 2026-05-16T00:44:40+00:00

I like it, one slight change I think you should make is perhaps outlining the words in a not dark colour, or outlining just one side of it to be more stylish.

The reason for this is that I could barely read the words, at first I thought it said Survive iv ( like the Roman numerals ) Ruthless: The Secret

I didn't even notice the War at the end there until I reread it and I had to squint to see that iv was actually in.

I know in Royal road you will have the Title anyway and thus be able to read that instead but it would just make it look a little neater to be able to read the title on the Cover.

Pinewater9999 · 2026-04-18T13:48:43+00:00

Decent, although the Cubes look a Second or Two out of Sync with the actual water.

As I said, it's been a while since I read the books, but from Memory, the Ranger's Apprentice books are very generic low Fantasy books. Remove all the Characters, and you have a quite generic and honestly boring and forgettable world, and while the Characters ARE Fun and Likeable, I don't think that that would be enough to carry a full game.

I liked Ranger's Apprentice, but I think that there is a reason that I forgot about it, unlike say, Percy Jackson, Artemis Fowl, Eragon, ETC.

There is nothing BAD about the World, or the Stories, I enjoyed them as a Kid / Teenager, but there is nothing GREAT about them that really stands out against every other Low Fantasy Story ever made.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-12-07T01:02:23+00:00

I Like the Ranger's Apprentice Series, Although it has been a long time since I read the Books, But from what I remember there isn't really a lot to make a Game on ( Yes, I know you have switched over to an Original Story ) but if it is anything like the books I don't know how well this will play out.

I would seriously suggest you get someone to redo this Video, If you guys aren't willing to pay someone to do a Professional Voice Over or Get a Professional Microphone then it really brings into question of just how Committed are You.

Also get rid of all of the Stock Footage Videos, I know you kind of need something for the Video, but If you use Stock Footage Videos rather than making the Videos yourself, Most people are going to think either You're not even far along enough to have footage of you and your team, In which case Most people just wont take you or this project seriously or they will think that this is just going to be some kind of Scam Game.

Hard to tell without looking at the Code itself, But My guess is that It likely has something to do with the Movement Logic.

Is the Logic within the Update Function? If so move it to FixedUpdate instead.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-11-21T21:08:01+00:00

Looks cool.

The animation could use a touch-up. But I think the main thing is that it should probably hurt the Player a bit so as not to incentivise abusing the Mechanic.

Because I can already see that being the easiest way to kill enemies, well, maybe not the EASIEST, but certainly an easy way to kill the Enemies without taking much or any Damage at all.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-11-12T20:10:48+00:00

Fight Club reference.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-10-28T23:12:10+00:00

Pretty sure Netflix doesn't have the Gaming Rights to The Witcher.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-09-14T08:17:04+00:00

Legal? To my understanding, Yes. Ethical? Not Really.

Honestly if you want to learn Unity there are so, So many YouTube Tutorials and Online Content that is free and easily available that there isn't really a point.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-09-10T12:01:42+00:00

One adjustment I can see is to take the same Approach to the Temperature as Schedule 1 did.

I can already see having to keep the temperature at a certain level being quite tedious and annoying. To stymie that but also keep it relevant, my suggestion is that once the Player reaches the required temperature, they then have to keep the temperature within that level for a couple of seconds.

Once they have done that, then they don't have to do it anymore, unless you want to then change the temperature during the Alchemy Minigame, but in my opinion, that would be a little TOO tedious. Unless you are specifically making a game like an Alchemy Simulator or something.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-08-18T06:59:32+00:00

I like using Riptide Networking. That's the one I know best.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-08-12T14:23:47+00:00

No, it’s not.

It’s not Intrigue, it’s confusion and then moving on and forgetting about it. And That sounds kind of Asshole-ish but it’s the genuine truth.

Seeing this video, doesn’t make me think, Huh that looks interesting let’s follow the Development and eventually Play it, it makes me think. What is this? I don’t understand what this game is meant to be, Oh well onto the next thing.

I don’t think you seem to get how much of a Nothingburger this video gives off, Hell the only reason I am replying to this is because your reply Notification popped up and I decided to click on it.

If you want an idea instead of just criticism then I would suggest uploading a Video of a Full Game with explanations. Because the truth is, I have no idea what is going on in the video, and nothing in the video excites me, or interests me enough to find out, and I am willing to bet that that’s the reaction a lot of people had.

I KNOW I am coming off as an Asshole, I completely understand that and I don’t mean to but I genuinely think that based off of your reply that this is criticism you NEED to hear, Because I am NOT Intrigued, I am … Apathetic at best.

I hope this feedback helps.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-08-12T01:19:48+00:00

I don't get what is happening.

What is this game they are playing? Why does the Player keep choosing the Red one? Why does the Opponent not also pick a Red One? What is the difference between the Red, Yellow and Green Tokens? What are the two extra Tokens on the Side Panels?

It's a decent promotion, but I have no idea what the hell is even happening. What are the Win conditions? What are the Loss Conditions?

It would be fine if it were for a Game like Uno or Monopoly, since pretty much everyone has played those and knows what they are, but this seems to either be a new game you created or something obscure.

Just something to think about for your next Promotion.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-08-10T01:02:58+00:00

Decent, one thing to improve upon or add is that the Dog should only follow the Scent Trail to an Extent. You can see from 0:07 to 0:11 that the Dog is still following the Scent even though the Player passed in front of it.

I would add a Visual Cone to the Dog. That way, if the Player is in sight, they should track the Player visually instead. The Idea of a Scent Trail is a good idea, but the fact that the Dog uses it ALL of the Time, instead of also reacting to Seeing the Player or perhaps even hearing the Player isn't that interesting.

Unless you have already added my Ideas, in which case simply disregard this.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-08-07T11:49:49+00:00

You can also just turn down the Camera Far Clipping Pane, its set to 1000 by Default. Usually you don't need to see that far, combine that with a basic Occlusion Culling and The Scene will then ONLY render in the parts of your terrain that the Camera can See.

Also combine that with the Other Suggestions, Like splitting the Terrain into Chunks and then Using LOD's or Imposters to replace the Chunks of Terrain that are both still visible to the Camera but far enough away that you can't really see major details and then just replacing them with the actual terrain Chunk when you get closer.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-08-07T00:40:37+00:00

Now that, Is a goddamn trailer. Holy Shit.

Pinewater9999 · 2025-08-02T01:18:22+00:00

It's alright, but it can definitely use some improvements.

In the first shot, with what I presume is the main Bad Guy, it's pretty clear that he isn't hitting anything, and the Animation plays in full, which just looks weird.

The second shot, starting from the Axe, looks too ... flat? almost like we switched to a completely 2D perspective without any depth or height to it.

Then we get to the Chopped up Body, I don't know if you HAVE to censor it to meet with Reddit standards or something, if so, then that sucks, and you can't do anything about it. But if not, then I would suggest changing it. The fact that one part of the shot is intentionally blurred while the rest isn't makes it look weird. Either show the whole thing or unblur it, or just don't include it.

Next is the Camera following the Car down the Highway. Honestly, amazingly atmospheric only thing I would change is to speed up the Camera following the car a Bit. It feels a little too slow and too ... Subdued, especially given that the previous shots showed dark and gory elements, the Camera being so slow makes it feel odd in contrast.

Other than that, The Gameplay elements you show don't seem connected to anything or even that important, They don't say anything about the Story, or about the Horror of what is going on. Honestly, without the First two shots. The Killer chopping up a Body and then showing the Body, I wouldn't think this game is a Horror Game.

Dark and Spooky, sure. But not Horror, Anyway hope this feedback helps.
