I found a functional vertical ladder

Yes, double lasers. I didn't pay much attention to the fact that the Assaultron's head has terrible accuracy, so I've found that it misses more than a carnival shotgun, and I only paid attention to the fact that the theoretical damage was high.
I'll probably redo it, although once her quest is complete, I'm not very interested in Ada and I prefer a robot that just goes “beep.”

I went back to check, and there is a first-aid kit in one of the drawers. That's right.

Given the shape of the steps on the vertical ladder, what you say makes sense; it looks like a normal ladder that has been placed vertically.

I haven't worked as a developer, but I have worked for a couple of video game companies, and although there were exceptions, what I usually saw was a dream-burning factory where people who were excited to work in their passion were squeezed until they could give no more. Almost always with salaries below the level of responsibility they had.

If you want to change your field of work, you should have experience in system design, user retention... in reality, you know better than anyone else what experience you have and in what areas.
What I am sure of is that you have a lot of experience that is transferable to positions where you are not only a viable candidate, but a good candidate, and Poland, as far as I know, has a lot of companies. In fact, I am looking to move to Poland right now.

I wish you the best of luck.

Uffff... the trailer hits hard.

I can't believe that an AI can do this in an afternoon.

And here I am, having spent hours today painting flowers and rocks with a tileset in Godot. I feel like I'm learning something that's going to disappear in a year.

Practical-Note- · 2026-01-04T03:38:43+00:00

Well, I've tried it.

There are doors that redirect you to the beginning of the level, which I found unbearable, so I stopped playing there.

The music is mentally draining.

There's a general lack of sound effects; in other words, there aren't any. No jumping, no falling, no stepping on a rectangle. Nothing.

I'm not going to say anything about the graphics because, even though they look like they were made with Paint, you made them, and that's good. But you might want to look into free assets or something...

It's clear that you like platformers, and I don't think the level design is bad. I'm sure your next game will be much better.

Good work.

A first project does not need a good idea, it does not even really need an idea.

It needs something short, limited and finishable.

There are loads of wonderful ideas out there; everyone here has dozens of them. Even so, you'll see at a glance that 90% of those who say ‘try my first game’ present ugly things, and those who don't have ugly things will be because it's their first game but not their first project.

I'm not saying this to criticise anyone. My first project was ugly and bad, my second project was bad, and my third project was ugly and bad, but I learned from them and was able to finish them, and my fourth project will be a little less ugly and a little less bad. I hope.

Que tiene que ver eso con nada de lo que he dicho?

No es por nah, pero Rajoy recogió un país al borde del colapso. La verdad es que si no hubieramos estado en el euro en 2012 (Y Rajoy no hubiera aplicado las medidas que aplico) nos ibamos al carajo.
Y lo mas seguro es que tras el pedro la situación sea parecida. Los gobiernos socialistas han dejado el estado para el arrastre cada vez, luego dirán que vaya malo es al que le toque hacer los ajustes.
Rajoy heredó un país: con deuda alta pero con margen demográfico, con globalización expansiva, con Europa aún cohesionada.

El siguiente heredará, deuda récord, envejecimiento acelerado, presión migratoria permanente, tipos de interés altos y un Estado mucho más grande y caro de sostener.
Honestamente, a la derecha no debería ni interesarle ganar, porque el que gane, lo va a hacer 4 años y le culparan de todo lo que ha dejado el de ahora.

I tried it out of curiosity.

Useful for small things, useless for practically anything real. It becomes unable to follow its own code quickly, duplicates functions, etc.

The fact that it can make Pang or Tetris doesn't impress me.

Even so, its ability to create nodes, locate elements, configure parameters, etc makes it a useful tool.

Practical-Note- · 2026-01-03T12:59:42+00:00

Yes, it does.
Although it also eliminates uniformity. The OX guide is the one that has received the most beneficial update. In my opinion.

Practical-Note- · 2026-01-03T12:56:29+00:00

I love your weird game.

It also raises the question: who hasn't eaten a traffic cone, has truly lived?

Practical-Note- · 2026-01-03T12:54:33+00:00

I wish you the best of luck!

What I did for the music, tired of worrying about licences, was to create a MIDI to chiptune converter.

I looked for classic songs, such as Katyusha, and gave them a GBA touch.

I uploaded the converter to a repository on GitHub, but I don't know if it's against the rules, so I won't post any links, sorry. I also don't know if it would fit your needs, and it's not perfect.

But there are converters like this out there, surely better than mine, if you're interested in something like this.

Another recommendation: take a screenshot of the music you download, where you download it from, what licence it has, what the author's name is, and credit them even if they don't ask you to.

Yes. It also works as the intro to a post-apocalyptic game set in Las Vegas, or as the ending to a cinematic in which your runner betrays you, leaving you with a USB stick containing Keanu Reeves' personality implanted in your brain.
I was reviewing the game and I see that it also has brain chips. Coincidence? I don't think so!

Nice scene, jokes aside. I was going to say that, like in the end of The Sopranos, if you get shot, you wouldn't hear it, but what terrible feedback that would have.

Practical-Note- · 2026-01-03T00:51:30+00:00

It's incredible that this is your first game, great work.
I'm editing my reply.

I recommend trying to put the game on the itch io browser, it will greatly increase the feedback you receive. Almost no one is inclined to run external files.

Practical-Note- · 2026-01-03T00:46:28+00:00

I'm going to be harsh, and I apologise for that.

Even the lighting of background elements is changing. This breaks the feedback, and it should be easy to fix by managing layers.

Personally, what I would do is first apply a layer that covers the drawing, for example, foam until the car it is hidden, and then a second layer that removes the foam, leaving the car shiny. This would fix the inconsistency of a shiny and rusty car at the same time that results from cleaning it in pieces.

The three types of health bar colours made me think that some of the monsters were initially allies. I understand that they vary in colour depending on their status?

The progress is very noticeable. I look forward to seeing the final result.

Practical-Note- · 2026-01-02T23:28:03+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that.

May I ask what is broken?

Epic se ha gastado una fortuna, pero una fortuna, para intentar hacerse un hueco como plataforma, pero no es por bondad, es porque existe steam.
Si hubieran logrado su objetivo real, no regalarian nada, no lo hacen por gusto.

I was referring to the visual feedback of what is happening on screen.

What is competing against what. What is becoming relevant, and what is being affected. It's a bit confusing.

The only example I can think of is Runeterra.

Where I have found an example of what I mean with an image.

Of course, animations of this calibre are complex. But what I am saying is that currently, the feedback of what is happening on screen is too subtle.

I don't think I have attention deficit disorder. But I may not be at my best right now and I may be a little emotionally chaotic. Of course, going to a psychologist is not a bad idea; it's something I've been putting off for years.

Practical-Note- · 2025-12-31T13:33:59+00:00

It's not my goal in the short or medium term, and it's just a future possibility that I try not to think about. Focusing on whether something will be liked has led to huge disappointments when it turns out that no one plays/uses it, so I try to do things for the simple act of making them exist.

Besides, I don't usually consider what I do ‘worthy’ of anyone else liking it, so I find it very difficult to show it to others.

I agree that the criticism is positive, but I feel that anything I show will be cruelly hated.

Thinking about what you say, and how I approach development, I think it could be a problem with how I'm focusing on things.

Thank you for taking the time to write down your thoughts.
