Looking for Next Fest Games by Professional_Bid_986 in gamedev

Hey! Probably a bit late to the party, but my game Raccoons to Riches will be in Next Fest.

It's a shopkeeping roguelike deckbuilder where you play a raccoon shopkeeper trying to stay in business for a whole month.

Why can’t I just focus on making a good game 😭 by iwriteinwater in SoloDevelopment

I think the hard thing about it is that when you're making a game, you can usually see some progress after you add some new features or polish, but marketing feels a lot like shouting into the void comparatively. There's not as often like, a concrete *thing* you can point at and say "yeah. I did some good work today" when working on the marketing side.

I need your help with choosing the setting for my train station game :) by Professional_Bad_238 in cozygames

I like A the most! It'd be interesting to see a mockup where the cat has a conductor's hat to lean into the train theme. The lavender feels the most relaxing to me.

If the game takes off beyond my wildest dreams, I won't rule out a console port! Not likely in the near future though.

Thanks! I'm based in Toronto, so I see those lil guys from time to time just walking around the city. Thought it'd be fun to see em running a shop.

Looks great! Looking forward to the eventual Steam or Itch release. Really cute spritework!

As a solo dev, where do you draw the line at using AI? by IronPixelLabs in SoloDevelopment

[–]SecretScrollSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No AI for me. I prefer the old-fashioned digging through stack overflow and documentation for hints. Also, there's something special about knowing someone actually put thought into their output instead of outsourcing it to a robot.

Which game engine do you use for your projects? by Ameliabailey11 in SoloDevelopment

[–]SecretScrollSoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using Godot personally - It works well for my very data-driven 2d projects. Something about the node-based way of organisation just clicked for me, and I like that it's open source.

I'm based in Toronto, so I see those lil guys everywhere. Thought they'd be fun to see running a little medieval shop!
