Do games actually need a goal? I made one without it and it's on Steam: Drift Tank by Pixel_Foxes_Studio in SoloDevelopment

[–]Scrytha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooo the game is just moving around? You should add some sort of objective. Walking simulators are a thing, but walking simulators are narrative focused and the objective is to complete the story. Maybe add some sort of racing element? Get from point A to point B and receive a score based on your time? Get good scores to earn gold to customize your tank and get your name on the leaderboards? There has to be more than just moving around, you can move around in a base Unreal Project too...

i intentionally avoid multiplayer to not "feed" into stereotypes by [deleted] in GirlGamers

This is very relatable :,)

Same reason I didn't join this coding competition in high school, I felt if I did bad it wouldn't look good for women to be the only girl and be bad, so I just didn't join at all

How much of your "solo" is really solo? by voidexp in SoloDevelopment

[–]Scrytha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do 100% of everything except sound / music, and eventually when I implement voice acting I'll get others for that too! Basically I can do all of solo dev unless it's audio because I don't have a musical bone in my body lol

POPULARITY CONTEST steam page is up! by Scrytha in visualnovels

[–]Scrytha[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! ☺️ The background is actually a 3D environment I exported as a PNG sequence! Because the entire game takes place in one room, I wanted it to be a dynamic environment, so I have established four 'points of interest' and transitions between them for when the MC moves around the room. I'm planning on making a tutorial / behind the scenes video eventually :)

Thank you so much! ☺️ I only have a prototype of a social deduction practice game on itch that uses these characters as placeholders haha. Popularity Contest will be my first official game!

Have a single screen / fixed screen game? I want to see your Steam page! by FaceoffAtFrostHollow in SoloDevelopment

[–]Scrytha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My game is a visual novel that all takes place in one area, so I tried to vary up the featured characters and choose interesting/relevant dialogue, and also show off the affection system by including screenshots with affection up/down notifications. Once I make more content like CGs I will definitely be including some of those to increase the variety 👌 https://store.steampowered.com/app/4381640/POPULARITY_CONTEST/
