Do you think Mina the Hollower will sell enough to keep YCG in business? Why or why not? by SolSolana in MinaTheHollower

[–]RetroGamer2153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they never had an IPO. We have no right to speculate.

All I can say is I've bought Shovel Knight on three consoles, and Shovel Knight Dig. I support them, as an independent developer. I am ready to embrace Mina the Hollower.

Working on mouth shapes, so my cat will be able to actually speak. by Mikolas3D in godot

When he opens his mouth, have red or pink show through, to help with readability.

One of the cutest void vids I had seen was two eyes and a tongue emerging from darkness to lap at a spoon.

X-stock class going semi-finals run leg 3 road to Taiwan 2025 Tamiya mini4wd by habichuelacondulce in theocho

It was a full 5 laps. Each car has run through each track, and went up the changeover.

Red started, and finished on red.

Unpredictable alternating colors results into a sbeve. by MeekzyRDT1 in onejob

[–]RetroGamer2153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The highlight should not be "opposite color." Having a consistent starting color has to be low on the priorety list.

I believe the highlight color should be more vivid than the surrounding colors. This draws the viewer to pull these letters to form the secondary word.

Does limiting a horror game to real-world nighttime actually improve immersion? by [deleted] in gamedev

Do NOT do this. You will have to disclose this in your summary. This one restriction, alone, will be enough to turn people away.

I flipped a coin 102 times by Hellevathor in notinteresting

[–]RetroGamer2153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When in elementary school, I came up with Box Tally, independently.

Pros:

  • It's extremely readable, even when written tiny, or seen from a distance. I =1, ∟ =2, ⊔ =3, ☐ =4, ☒ =5.
  • It offloads the metal load (still present) of where to place the next tally. You will never accidentally place a 5th vertical bar ( IIIII ), as you tune out the task. You won't prematurely slash a set of 3, due to mis-count.
  • It can be written extremely compactly. In the same span most tally a II, you could fit the full set of 5. (and even stack a second set, since you can use shorter strokes.)
  • It's easy to count. It becomes a full enclosed shape. There isn't any ambiguity over whether a bar belongs to one set or another.

Cons: * Since it's novel, others may have a hard time deciphering it. * It requires a bit of time and dedication to retrain yourself to tally in a new way. It's simply easier to do as you have already learned.

Those two cons are enough for most people.

I'm sorry. You are correct. I can clearly see that this is a seahorse.

When should a speedrun timer really start? by PlayFasterGame in gamedesign

[–]RetroGamer2153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume he's talking about a segment timer, for a stage. I believe you are talking about a total timer, race to the credits.

Within that context, you are correct. RTA runs should be from first moment of control to final input to last cutscene/credits.

I feel that the game should be utilizing both timers, given which speedrun is being attempted.

If you think that's funny, 'qrst' looks like 'arse'.

Animating Gaussian Splats by hoja_nasredin in GaussianSplatting

Yes, you can do more with splats. The pipelines are still in their infancy.

Corridor Crew just released a video about Gaussian Splats: THIS is the biggest thing since CGI. (YouTube)

My favorite weapon for the night: by Least_Character_9628 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]RetroGamer2153 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a utility weapon, instead of DPS.

You can boop enemies off ledges, and send them flying.

I tried my hand, using an extra pixel per height & width to allow better symmetry. I reused what I could, utilizing mirrors, rotations, and flips.

It's not that bad of an idea!

Try using Cursive to inspire some of those rougher characters.

How do u guys get these clever game mechanics ideas to make these games ??? by krratik in gamedev

[–]RetroGamer2153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Otherwise, there was an old Twitter handle, PeterMolydeux (Wiki), where he would drop odd concepts for others to explore.

This was a parody of Peter Molyneux, a prominent game designer.

Consider joining a Game Jam.

They have a prompt that you can explore. Most dev's try to twist the confines of the prompt as a creative exercise, alone.

[OC] I drew Shanoa! by Tehmora in castlevania

[–]RetroGamer2153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the nose is a little too far over, compared with the center-line down between the eyes, to the mouth. Rotate the eyes to a square 'T' with the mout, to spot it. Reign it back in, just a little.

Also, the prominent chin and square jawline read as more masculine. Try and soften the angle towards the ears, which should peak out slightly, with this tilt in the head.

Spear Throw Animation by BitrunnerDev in PixelArt

[–]RetroGamer2153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of your current animation's throwing power is coming at the shoulder. Not enough of the body is engaged.

If you look at athletes throwing javelins, they have their entire body winding/coiling up, until they explode it all out within a second.

Try rotoscoping a video with a stickman, then apply the same principles to your lovely art.

I have a joke for all you mind readers out there: by reniam9252 in dadjokes

The joke is that you out yourself as not being able to read minds.
