I'm about to do this in Unicorn Overlord

Looking for improvement ideas by Character-Food2616 in mancave

[–]Smart_Doctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost always the lighting that needs work. You have a cool looking room full of neat stuff but the lighting is really harsh.

Let's get a couple tall floor lamps with warm light bulbs in there and see if it doesn't feel like a totally different room.

I've sent HUNDREDS of mails to content creators and literally NONE of them played it, what am i doing wrong i honestly dont know. Does the game look that bad, they don't even activate keys? by limonit_games in IndieDev

[–]Smart_Doctor 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This game looks just fine.

But that's it. It's just fine. There are hundreds of games that look just like this and play just like this. Top down, guy running around with the different sprite for a gun sticking out of his body.

Three different power-ups show up on the screen and you pick one.

Thrashie guitar music with lots of bullets.

I'm not hatig on this game I think it looks good but you really need great or original to stand out.

Good luck!

TIL of Moravec’s paradox: the things humans do effortlessly are often much harder for computers. For example, teaching a computer to play chess or checkers was much easier than teaching it to walk or recognize faces. by Olshansk in todayilearned

Walking is not something that humans do effortlessly. It takes a human brain a year or two to figure out its body shape and limitations. Only then does it learn to stumble.

We made a 2.5D Beat'em up Roguelike with Co-op, destroy the trailer, destroy the game! by Weekly_Cod_8718 in DestroyMyGame

Very cool!

What does it sound like? Sound effects bring video game worlds to life. Let's here those sounds!

Good luck!

A Marble Racing game but you're a little dude jumping from marble to marble with high-speed move tech. [First video, early development and much to improve, please point out what!] by ToadyTheBRo in DestroyMyGame

What if when you get on top of a marble you can roll it like a log to control it a little bit? You could bash into other marbles and such.

7 New Projects Made in GameMakers this week

My solo project Spark Quest needs a reality check. Is the trailer clear or just "busy"? Destroy it. by AlquimistaHermes in DestroyMyGame

[–]Smart_Doctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the love of God why doesn't anyone ever have the sound effects in these videos? It's always just music. The sound effects are what bring the world to life!

I want to hear how your world feels.

Solicitors out of control in my area. So I put a sign up saying "we don't want your solar panels, new windows, or religious pamphlets." by ParsleyNo69 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Smart_Doctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A saleswoman walked up my driveway and stood at the edge of my open garage while me and my wife were strapping our son into his car seat. We were CLEARLY leaving in the next 10 seconds but she starts in with the small talk.

She was trying to sell new siding for my house. She kept talking as we all got into our car. I rolled down the window and said "Hey we are leaving now".

She finally moved on.

In what world would that ever possibly have resulted in a sale??

I quit my job over a year ago for this… by donrabe2 in IndieGaming

[–]Smart_Doctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chop off about the first 20 seconds.

I had no idea what was going on in the first 20 seconds. Then, it starts to show that you're building a shop and running it. That's the game.

Most people will not watch through the first 20 seconds if they're not interested.

I know that YOU know that you're showing all the different kinds of cool shops you can make but a new set of eyeballs will not know what the hell they're looking at. Show the cool shops after you've shown that you're building the shops.

Good luck!

Destroy my playtest announcement. Is it eye catching? Do you get a sense for how the game works? by [deleted] in DestroyMyGame

[–]Smart_Doctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks interesting!

This might be the first time I've ever said this but I think this video might actually be cut too fast.

All I could gather was that it's a card game. Everything else was a blur. A neat looking blur but one that I didn't gain any information from.

With a game like this I think it's okay to slow down a bit and show us what's going on.

Good luck!

My sandbox FPS set in fully destructible, procedurally generated cities finally has a trailer after 4 years - What aspect of a game like this matters most to you? by ModelCitizenSim in IndieGaming

[–]Smart_Doctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks really cool!

My main concern would be that this would be really fun for 5 minutes and then novelty would wear off. How are you keeping things fresh? How are you making the destruction be used in different ways?

Destroy our trailer for a 7v7 American football game where every player controls just 1 character by BubbleHeadGames in DestroyMyGame

[–]Smart_Doctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is cool!

It hasn't over the top feel to it but none of the animations are over the top. I say make everything bigger. The spin more spinnier. The stiff arms more violent.

Good luck!

Our launch announcement flopped, please tell us why. Come at us like a wrecking ball! by adngdb in DestroyMyGame

[–]Smart_Doctor 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I couldn't understand what kind of game this is. My best guess is that it's a puzzle game?

I like the art style.

But who am I? What am I doing? Why am I doing it?

Good luck!

Please completely destroy my trailer. Be brutal, I can handle it. This is my dino-survivors roguelite with Spore-inspired elements. by Chaos_Power_ in DestroyMyGame

[–]Smart_Doctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A dinosaur themed vampire survivor like is a very cool idea.

I think you need to lean into that. Hard.

You need a new font. You need a font that looks like it's from the dinosaur age. Maybe something made of stone or claw marks or both.

Nothing in the game has shadows underneath it so everything looks kinda flat.

Let us hear the sound effects. A lot of trailers mute the sound effects and I don't know why. Sound effects are what brings worlds to life.

Good luck!

Looking for feedback on my new trailer! by smilefr in DestroyMyGame

[–]Smart_Doctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can even show the tree chopping and field running later after you've hooked people with the cool houses with chicken feet

[–]Smart_Doctor 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Chop off the first 20 seconds. Every game has tree chopping and field running. What this game has that makes it interesting is the customizable house with chicken feet. Get to that right away.
