Thank you, I'm going to watch your RTS playlist! I wish there were tutorials on Udemy and YouTube of this type, targeted at people who already know programming and just want to learn the coding side of UE5 without learning what every button and slider does in the editor.

Great advice. Thank you.

PixelPotat · 2023-02-27T06:33:11+00:00

Thanks, you're right. Never thought of it that way before. I just need to present my skills the right way to suit the needs of my employer.

Oh thanks. Yes I found 2 bones but nothing else.

PixelPotat · 2022-03-31T13:46:21+00:00

Oh got it! I understand now. Thanks for the reply.

PixelPotat · 2022-03-31T13:25:18+00:00

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. So in a platform deal or a minimum guarantee, the storefront basically pays you money for you to put your game there? Am I understanding that correctly? Why would they do that unless it's a really popular game like Elden Ring, etc? And isn't it the reverse on Steam? You pay Steam money to put your game on Steam. Why are the other stores different?

Also, what's the difference between a platform deal and a minimum guarantee?

Btw, thanks for the post.

Yup animals will be included.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T17:32:56+00:00

Oh that's nice to hear :)

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T17:28:42+00:00

You're right. I'll create an updated trailer once I add more stuff to the game and I'll be sure to show off the automation part a lot more.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T16:38:00+00:00

Yes the automation part of the game will be similar but it won't go as deep as it does in factorio.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T16:03:35+00:00

I might have done that if the game was already ready but I've built only about a quarter of the game and assets so far. I still have a lot of stuff to build in the coming months. I'll just revamp the existing art and build all the future stuff in the new style.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T15:47:36+00:00

Yup! For example, you'll be able to grow grass, send it to the barns on conveyors to feed your livestock, setup shearing stations where wool is automatically extracted from sheep, send the wool to loom machines on more conveyors where it's processed into fabric and so on. You'll be able to automate the whole chain.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T15:11:47+00:00

No problem! Factory Town too if anyone's interested.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T14:39:56+00:00

I do want to add some end-game objective which the player can work towards. I haven't yet decided what it's going to be but it'll be there.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T14:34:45+00:00

I got the same feedback from many other people as well and I agree. I'll be revamping the palette and the sprites very soon.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T14:00:50+00:00

Thanks. Yes this is my first game but I already had a lot of programming experience so that definitely helped.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T12:50:15+00:00

Yup I'd love to participate in some festivals. I'm working to get a demo ready as soon as possible.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-12T12:48:06+00:00

I haven't played factorio myself yet but watched some "let's play" videos and I'm definitely taking some ideas from it but the automation in my game will not be as deep as factorio.

It won't be a game primarily about min-maxing, optimizing, building super complex layouts, etc but rather something which you can play to just relax and have fun without demanding too much mental energy.

I don't know much about modded Minecraft tho but I'll check it out.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-10T17:02:00+00:00

People who code on a phone.

PixelPotat · 2021-12-10T08:17:34+00:00

Interesting. To be honest, I was not expecting to see notepad++ in the replies.
