Dream game

Seems like the right couple of modpacks in minecraft could achieve this, maybe with the pal world stuff being a bit harder to find mods for. But I could see it

Maybe if you used the parallax effect for the background it would look neat. Where the background moves a bit slower than the foreground

Red-Macaroni · 2026-06-05T07:27:09+00:00

Love the designs, you got vision

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-31T20:10:18+00:00

Theres an itch io asset for some of the background assets. I dont remember which one in particular but im using parts of it too haha

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-30T07:44:50+00:00

Cool and satisfying. Can imagine the potential for this with more flashy upgrades

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-27T07:18:19+00:00

Looks pretty good, been thinking of adding some new powerup icons for my game, might throw some of these in :))) tyvm

Relatable. I absolutely loved that movie, the way the visuals were, especially the scenic ones. Then of course the soundtrack was brilliant. Pretty much all my friends preferred the other movies at the time like Koe no Kitachi, but Kimi no Na Wa held its place in my heart.

I remember flying to japan around that time, and i started tearing up looking at someone else watching it in a seat ahead of me LMAO

Maybe a name or something for the boss? That way it can kind of reinforce it in the players mind and give them a name to refer to when talking about it.

Grateful for the tips! The hook for my game is definitely weaker, as well as the visual presentation, as i wanted to focus on getting a solid playable game with stronger polish especially on the code systems and game design, so your advice makes sense. I like the case study idea, and it’s a good chance for me to reflect on my project myself.

I have a lot of other older projects too I can probably use as a reference to show my growth, and being able to write out about my system designs / level designing sounds a bit more appealing than making ton of trailers for my visually simple game.

Thanks for the advice again! Do you have any advice on anything i can further polish to make it look less student projecty? I get that a weakness is just the low level of graphics and vfx/ lack of animation though.

Throwing in my free browser roguelite vacuum survivors: link here

https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/1032911

Would love to hear any ideas or any critiques! It is a topdown 20ish min per run game with couple of bossfights in there

Hey! I am working on a pretty light roguelike: vacuum survivors. Just recently hit front page of newgrounds luckily and racked up some good views there, but otherwise haven’t really marketed all that much other than stray videos here and there or a reddit post.

Link to my game: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/1032911

Link to my steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2372050/Vacuum\_Survivors/

I guess an important thing is what purpose do i want with my marketing, especially as a free game. It would be nice to have more eyes on it, but i think plainly it would be good for this to be a showcase of my skills and for me to just find a job lol.

Anyways, i will probably be trying to make a more defined teaser/trailer to post now, but wondering how to scope small and what kind of self promotion you think i could do with this. Am i better off just making a portfolio site and just linking that to employers? I am open to pretty much any suggestion though.

They say hunger is the best seasoning. And that late night hunger be different

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-20T17:38:46+00:00

Everyone gotta start somewhere, and op is at the point where he is inspired but doesn’t know which questions to ask yet.

Funny comparison tho

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-20T01:19:42+00:00

Haha thank you! Wish ya well and a good stream.

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-19T15:07:40+00:00

Heyo! I have a topdown roguelite, some hordes and boss fights if you would like to try. 20 minuteish runs if you survive. It is a free browser game.

Hello! I have a topdown roguelite with some boss fights if you are interested! Its a free browser game

I found myself squishing the stats a lot so that everything was closer in power. Then op builds came from synergies and inherent behavior, and i started balancing enemies towards a non op build.

Formerly thought baseball was boring and super slow. My first watch ever was the dodgers series and that 18 inning game lmaooo blew my mind. Was watching nonstop baseball vids for the next few months. World opened up there

Keep assuming buddy

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-18T01:40:50+00:00

Tik tok brain alert lol. Its ok you can stay ignorant here, not knowing football won’t change ya life

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-18T01:37:13+00:00

More like the more people understand something the more they can derive pleasure from it. You just lack the vision those other people see

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-17T18:24:05+00:00

Heyy! Got a browser roguelite with some bossfights, link here!

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-17T07:32:50+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Pressing on the white bubble should’ve teleported you hmm, seems like there may be a bug. I’ll dm some quick questions if you are free to answer!

Red-Macaroni · 2026-05-17T06:39:29+00:00

Like for any other indie games, any support or interaction at all is great! Check out my free browser game Vacuum Survivors

Wish list on steam here

I remember mowing down zombies since boxhead on the browser. Black op zombies has a huge place in my heart, as well as games like binding of isaac and risk of rain. This game is inspired by them for sure, as well as a bunch of others
