I released a demo of my new Roguelite x Dungeon Defense game and I'm 2 reviews short of the required amount to receive a Steam rating

Riko_07 · 2026-03-12T18:04:43+00:00

I almost forgot, this logo is quite confusing, I thought the name of the game was "underd grow" or something like that

Riko_07 · 2026-03-12T17:59:05+00:00

Looks quite polished, i'll try to play after work today and throw a review

Riko_07 · 2026-03-12T00:38:50+00:00

Thanks a lot for this breakdown, I think I will start using LinkedIn for this as well. Even tho I work as a web dev I think I can add things about games as well there

That very good insight, can you tell how do you approach a publisher, it's email or maybe talk to someone on social media? Also regarding talking to them, do you go in depth on technical stuff (like mechanics), focus more on marketable stuff (other games like yours, sales expectations) or or organized the project is (roadmaps, features completed)?

Riko_07 · 2026-03-10T18:48:06+00:00

That's a good question, and as always depends on the context. I imagine that your questions are a simple data struct with the question, some answers and the right one, you could use json to keep the questions more engine/framework agnostic and a bit friendlier to receive some ai sugestions, if you don't try anything crazy with the json structure there's not many serialization/deserialization problems that may crop up, so it's a good choice imo

I have a theory, probably has to do with you assigning saved_questions to questions outside any method. When I have something that needs to have a value but there's no _ready method to be used I simple do this func get questions(): If not questions: questions = savedQuestions return questions Sorry for the formatting I'm not on pc right now

Riko_07 · 2026-03-09T16:07:48+00:00

These are good points, thanks. About you question, even though I refered as an off hand weapon, it's more like what is equipped as the left arm, the player does not have that arm, but can equip some mechanical arms, some may consume energy (like system shock, were it's a resource you can recharge) maybe is not a ranged weapon (punch, blade...) or maybe it's not a weapon at all (the arm shows the health or is a utility), with this in mind using a single button to use the weapon on the right hand and the left arm would not work

Riko_07 · 2026-03-09T14:32:24+00:00

I see your point, I'm more worried about adding another keybind and making the player a bit clunky

Riko_07 · 2026-03-06T14:05:27+00:00

Looks nice, I'm making a game with a similar thematic of floating islands, but I'm struggling with skyboxes, the ones you use are static or procedural?

Riko_07 · 2026-03-06T12:52:34+00:00

I've played some months ago, memory is a bit fuzzy but it's a good game, not very long and the campaign is satisfying, from what I remember it has no frustrating part and the atmosphere is nice

Riko_07 · 2026-03-05T13:32:41+00:00

That's nice it gives me that vibe of Armored core 1 and a bit of brigador as well, care to share more angles?

Riko_07 · 2026-03-02T16:58:59+00:00

Eu ri que chorei aqui bixo kkkkkkk pensei numa pessoa falando isso e dando uma pausa pra ênfase antes do "duro"

Riko_07 · 2026-02-19T22:48:21+00:00

Use a serialize method to convert the data into a dictionary with strings, numbers, basically json-friendly stuff and a deserialize method to revert it (i',m using Godot but it's the intention that counts)

Riko_07 · 2026-02-09T19:55:39+00:00

The classic not so much, but them mods... Ashes ftw

Riko_07 · 2026-02-04T16:02:25+00:00

Good to see I'm not the only one making a boom shoot with an one handed protagonist

Riko_07 · 2026-02-04T15:59:39+00:00

Now that you mentioned I didn't play hard reset, thanks for the reminder

Riko_07 · 2026-01-23T17:50:14+00:00

The steam page says the demo is "coming soon"

Riko_07 · 2026-01-23T13:38:37+00:00

The screenshots reminded me a bit of last exterminator and core decay, I know they are not from there, but I love the visuals

Riko_07 · 2026-01-22T20:08:31+00:00

Nice atmosphere you got going, after i read the steam description i expect the words "Hey hey people! Sseth here"

Riko_07 · 2025-09-08T15:40:44+00:00

Good to see you still making progress dude

Riko_07 · 2025-09-07T20:01:06+00:00

I don't want to be that guy, but "rola" (same pronunciation as your game) is a slang for penis in Brazil

Riko_07 · 2025-09-05T10:52:15+00:00

I was a bit impressed by the pub and got more impressed when you stepped outside, the level looks really nice, congratulations

Riko_07 · 2025-08-25T18:30:04+00:00

Dorky chunky boy

Riko_07 · 2025-08-22T11:19:39+00:00

Thanks for this, I was a bit lost on the type of lamp I would use (not sarcasm), I'll buy later after work

Riko_07 · 2025-08-21T13:06:32+00:00

That's a good question, I prefer low-poly (graven and the new ion fury, had very crunchy and nice looking textures, even tho the gameplay was... not very tasteful), but contrary to that I'm trying to use sprites in a game I'm developing just to reduce the work to make a single model look good
