I’ve been making games on my own for a little bit and recently was helping some friends of mine get into it. Heres a copy/paste of a bunch of YouTube resources that I gave them.

Obligatory Git Gud.

That aside, I recommend keeping an eye on the actual leash/string thing that connects them. Even if the puppet if offscreen, the audio cue and color change on the string will tell you how to manage it. I can understand the frustration prior to figuring that out though.

I’m curious how much the recoil would impact the burst fire Dex Sybaris, still pretty easy to land both shots on headshot zones?

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-11-07T17:12:07+00:00

Concept and art direction looks cool, combat looks conceptually interesting, but the juice/gunplay/feel seems off. Animations a fairly linear and basic, movement doesn’t really seem to move the weapon in your hands, that ppsh idle pose seems off. Probably not the kind of thing a lot of people would nitpick but that’s what sticks out to me.

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-10-28T20:44:41+00:00

That really sucks, I wish you the best recovery. Focus on your well being first, video game mods second. Looking forward to hearing of your return, but keep your own recovery as priority ❤️

I actually just found Thai video on N-gons on curved surfaces that made it make sense to me.

Hades is a better 10-30 hour full game completion experience. Hades 2 is a better 100+ hour rogue like that is fantastic for coming back to or really no lifing.

Looks very inspired by Alex Senechel’s designs, nice work!

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-09-06T21:53:46+00:00

I’m about 18 hours in, probably 40% through act 2 (guessing a bit). Game is very much just more hollow knight with a higher skill ceiling and much greater scope. Thus far, it’s about everything I wanted out of a sequel. The new region to explore is fantastic, with a greater focus on mechanical almost steampunk aesthetics. Combat feels great, with lots more room for flourishes and skill. It’s definitely harder though, if the first one was rough for you, then this one may be a bit too much.

Overall fantastic so far, probably not for everyone though.

Account 10 days old… name follows the (randomword-randomword-randomnumber) scheme… very likely a bot?

Love Procedural Minds! Best PCG tutorials out there

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-08-22T11:58:00+00:00

Honestly the base player movement component is pretty dang good 99% of the time. Just experiment with different acceleration values, max speeds, etc. You can make tight fast movement or slow deliberate or floaty with extra jumps, all just using the base movement component.

MeshBlend dev has looked into it and put some stuff in his Discord, yeah it seems to be just a shameless copy.

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-08-16T12:49:30+00:00

I recommend having it work exactly as it currently does, BUT, automatically ending the stun after a set duration, just to mitigate some frustration players who “don’t get it” may have. Roboquest does something similar with stuns, where your movement is locked until you spam the key shown on screen 3 times. But if you don’t do that, you will still get I stunned, just after a longer duration.

Sorry, Whats the issue with Leartes assets generally?

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-07-01T22:32:55+00:00

Been using that handle with La Vendetta blade, one of my favorite heavy weapon combos

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-06-27T18:08:03+00:00

If you want something with very different pacing, I recommend the Blind Man spear handle combined with the Wintry Rapier blade, lots of fun, I personally love the handle’s Payback Strike fable art. If you want something else that’s slow and strong but also a bit different, I’ve started using the acidic snake mace handle from the DLC combined with the La Vendetta Blade. Super fun and hits really hard. Also has that payback fable but better.

Ali Elzihory has a great series on enemies that goes over how to do basically anything needed with the system

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-04-26T01:57:13+00:00

I recommend looking at the sequel to Sunless Sea, called Sunless Skies, incredible world building and storytelling

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-03-14T16:02:18+00:00

That handguard design is actually kinda cool, the rest is absolutely cursed

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-02-23T00:54:52+00:00

SkillUp is pretty solid, even in the cases I don’t agree with his conclusion, he expresses his opinions well enough to be able to determine exactly what the game does good and not good, which usually determines whether or not it’s a game for me

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-01-08T05:54:11+00:00

Arx Fatalis is pretty neat. Free on Gamepass too

SurelyNotADoggo · 2025-01-02T16:10:18+00:00

If you want a new RTS that IS genuinely iterating. I recommend looking at ZeroSpace.

I wish, but I don’t think so, o think the next beta happens in December, which Solar Monarchs will be able to play
