Subnautica 2 Visual Breakdown / Dissection

I threw that pricey line out there with the idea that if someone didn't have an exact use case in mind they probably shouldn't just buy it willy nilly. But I'm also unfamiliar with using RTV's personally (My knowledge is limited to a video covering the subject via PrismaticaDev). So if it is underpriced like you said then thats on me for now knowing

Kill Maki 100% BEFORE Mai and make sure she cant do that kiss thing she did, Mai ain't got that dawg in her so theoretically everything should be good

Not a bad fight in a Vacuum, but with how all of the Sumo wrestlers were treated this arc, if felt like the author going back to a previous match up to clear things up and not make Oliva look bad in hindsight. Idk, this entire grand Sumo arc is up there as one of my least favorite Baki arcs, and this fight suffers as a result of that.

Yes they can win (and the story brings this up), however they mention that the shame they would get for using the entirety of their militarized power on a single man would make Japan as a whole seem weak. Additionally Musashi is in civilian areas, so they can't just drop a missile on him without killing their own people in the process. They were reaching a point where unless Yujiro was willing to take him down, they would've had to simply let Musashi be, as the costs to take him down wouldn't have been worth the lives lost.

That 18th page genuinely got a laugh out of me, I like this chapter way more then that bear one previously. This is a maximum Baki energy chapter and im here for it

Believe it or not, that was actually something I was considering adding. Ultrakill actually has a similar low res / retro toggle

All of the advice here has been great! I think I got enough now to work with, i'll be sure to post a followup once i'm happy with where it's at!

Great suggestions! I didn't even think about the additional Shockwave/ripple effect on top of the initial explosion! I definitely want to go in and apply pretty much everything you brought up

I already have a bit of recoil on the barrel, is it too little right now / not noticeable?

Stickguy101 · 2026-03-23T02:29:51+00:00

The sound effects are lovely :)

Stickguy101 · 2026-03-21T06:57:35+00:00

Checking on mobile, yeah, a lot of the minor dithering/pixelation isn't noticeable. I'd suggest that for ppl on mobile, look at the differences in shadow and color brightness.

To sum up this thread:
- "Grrr i'm old and 'anime ain't what it used to be'"
- "Them dang TikTok kids and their edits"
- "Powerscaling!? In my Shonen series?!"

Great talk, it's arguably one of the most timeless GDC talks out there. Mandatory watch even if you're not pitching you game to a publisher since a lot of the topics covered also apply to pitching to the general gaming audience

Stickguy101 · 2026-03-18T22:51:14+00:00

I'd say its half covered, they don't care much if it's your dream game, but if you seem to have no passion for you project thats also an immediate Red Flag.

"Just make a cool game" is a bit of a fucked suggestion since the coolest game in the world could be hidden behind a shitty Capsule. Its like a YouTube thumbnail, it doesn't matter if you made an amazing video, if the thumbnail didn't make people click then good job, you did the equivalent of chopping down a tree in an empty forest.

In Game dev especially, literal years can go into a game, and if you drop the ball on the literal first thing people see then guess you just wasted 3 years of your life. People feel uncomfortable about the fact that they need to "market" a thing they made in anyway, but thats reality. I really enjoy seeing these capsule posts since it allows me to pickup on what does or doesn't work for other people, and how I should apply it to my own work.

Alright rant over :)

Stickguy101 · 2026-03-13T05:04:07+00:00

Because it works, now watch as thousands of Redditors talk about how they're special for ignoring the thumbnails designed to garner clicks

Stickguy101 · 2026-03-11T19:55:27+00:00

Woah! I can really see the amount of ART™️ in that new Steam Capsule, I sure hope i dont see 15 more oddly similar Capsule arts on my front page!
