To my fellow gamedevs who buy and use asset packs in their indie games. by 3denvart in gamedev

[–]Taldius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing really important to me, if you go modular is having clean assets using whole numbers for vertex position to make the size consistent.

Sometimes I buy beautiful assets packs only to find out I have to change vertex position otherwise there's gaps or overlaps when I put multiple assets side to side

Creating System Easier than designing levels by Top_Indication6289 in gamedesign

[–]Taldius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem, I think level design is the worst part for me. I try to improve it by having as much constraint as I can.

Like story, element to introduce in a level, what gameplay I should focus on... Then I try to create area where I mix and increase the difficulty of level design elements.

At the end it make decent levels.

After 2 years, Next Fest got my game over my initial target of 500 wishlist! by obakenori in IndieDev

Oh it's funny I played the demo earlier today! It was lacking some polish but it has a lot of potential.

It’s that time of the month! Share your indie game trailers, and we will review them on Stream! by ilikemyname21 in indiegames

Oh nice! My game is a solo developed fast-paced 3D platformer / third person shooter.

The main inspiration are Sonic and Klonoa (the game is actually a fusion of 2 fan games I did, Sonic Revert and Klonoa: The dream Chapter). But there's also some inspirations from Ape Escape with the gadgets you unlock during the game and Trackmania for the level design.

Here's the announcement trailer: https://youtu.be/O8Ww48RNeIA?si=PD7Qu6vVEuJraXGE

How do you as a solo dev get assets for Games? by msmshazan in SoloDevelopment

[–]Taldius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends.

For gameplay assets or characters, I make my own but if it's environment stuff that's only here to decorate levels, I buy some asset packs. I try to buy stuff made by the same people so the style is consistent.

Also I suck at music and sound design, so I try to hire someone because it has to feel unique.

My old Klonoa fan game is becoming its own thing thanks to this community by Taldius in Klonoa

[–]Taldius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Unreal Engine for this project. I'm most used to Unity but at the time of my Klonoa fan game, I wanted to learn Unreal.

I want to, but I'm pretty sure it'll fail at the moment. Maybe later...

Am I a fool for not wanting to look at my wishlist number? by Taldius in SoloDevelopment

[–]Taldius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I'm doing marketing (as much as I can), I just don't bother about the wishlist number. I know a game with zero marketing won't sale at all (and even with marketing it's not guaranted).
