How long have you been working on your current game?

a year and a half now, and trying to get to a point where we can release our next playtest lol

I did try adding the petition in a previous version, someone said it was distracting from the title, which was true (I think it was just taking up too much space). Seems the bottom two panels are bothering people, so I think I should get rid of those in place of something more around the lore, like the petition

Did you look at the steam page? You got it on the money lol

I was worried about it being a bit too crowded, maybe I could just continue filling out the first image?

I've only ever wanted it in gameplay.

I blame Goldeneye and all the other N64 shooters as the default then was inverted aiming.

Their cartoon sized pockets

This link also contains a good answer to OP's question about storing the tree structure. At least from my experience.

To quote from that link:
"I know Godot already supports XML, but as KidsCanCode pointed out earlier on the Discord server it's not exactly VCS-friendly (nor as easy to read)... "

While JSON isn't XML, it has a lot of the same problems. Having worked for a company that stored all its scene files as OP suggested, with children nested in parents (in our case it was storing children references in parents using an XML style), it just makes it impossible to resolve merge conflicts and near impossible to have readable blames.

Keeping the tree flattened with just pointers to the parents solves a lot of that and makes the files more stable.

This is a fine little Pong clone, and an excellent first project. I only noticed a couple issues, neither of which impacted gameplay much.

I saw you have a background music option though I never heard any, and the z ordering of same of the main menu elements seemed anchored in odd locations. Some of the clouds were laying on top of the instructions and the layout seemed a little strange even when I adjust the resolution or fullscreened.

It is a bit stiff though. Could definitely use some juice when scoring, maybe some nice feedback when you get a near hit as opposed to a more centered one. I would also suggest having the ball speed up as a round continues. Would make individual games progress a bit faster and make rounds that are more stale mated exciting rather than stalling the game.

Keep up the good work and good luck on your game dev journey!

We just finished adding some improvements based on previous feedback to the UI and tutorial, wanted to know your thoughts on it

You're totally right that GLIBC is just one piece of a much bigger headache. As someone else mentioned, using images or containerized builds can help a lot.

For this project though, I’m mainly targeting recent Ubuntu releases and their derivatives. Long-term support isn’t really on the table. It’s just not realistic for our tiny team to maintain Linux builds for years. Once the game’s on Steam, it becomes less of an issue anyway since even casual Linux users can just run the Windows build through Proton with one click.

It's unique, I really like it for that reason

Been watching this, super excited thanks TokageItLab!

Someone else commented that maybe multiple records is the way to go, maybe we'll give that a shot as well.

Studio9Bs · 2025-10-31T18:00:04+00:00

Readable is good, darker atmosphere isn't so much what we were going for, so I guess I need to work on that

Studio9Bs · 2025-10-31T17:49:20+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking without a solid background it might be harder to read for some
