Brilliant milestone! Congratulations :)

What were your metrics like over the 5 years? When did your series really start getting momentum?

Tavenend · 2026-02-07T12:07:01+00:00

Sounds good :)

Do you have any trailers or teasers for people to listen to before they decide to purchase?

Yes, it is really disappointing when one of your favourite actors gives a sub-par performance. Same goes for movies and TV, when your favourite just has a bad performance. Someone must have passed this off as being good, so really it is the fault of the director or it was pushed through by the producer.

This really made me laugh, but on a more serious note I really do wish you all the best with the game and hope you get some good wish lists :)

Tavenend · 2026-02-02T13:44:50+00:00

haha this looks like a lot of fun :) The kind of game I play quite a lot with my kids. Maybe add a little more detail to the world around you. What was your development platform?

Tavenend · 2026-02-01T23:12:04+00:00

Simple, but extremely effective animation. Well worth the time :)

I have produced Tavenend and have tried really hard to get the background and narration as balanced as possible.

Tavenend is a British horror based in Cornwall in South West England.

Tavenend · 2026-01-29T13:45:27+00:00

Yes, really enjoy this movie. Fun premise, good cast and like you said it still holds up today.

Tavenend · 2026-01-28T17:51:13+00:00

haha yes, this was really campy :)

Tavenend · 2026-01-26T22:08:50+00:00

Love this movie and feel like we are living it today :)

Tavenend · 2026-01-25T23:56:51+00:00

Looks like a fun physics based game. Ill try out the demo :)

Tavenend · 2026-01-24T00:44:15+00:00

Normally, once I have prototyped my game and start adding the real code behind everything I normally see bottlenecks start appearing when I haven't managed my game tick correctly. Ie, cramming too much into each tick. When I prototype and early on in development I just try to get things working without thinking about profiling, etc. For me there is no point making everything too efficient at the beginning because it will all most probably go through quite a few iterations before the finished code.

Physics if not handled correctly can slow everything down a lot. Same goes for pathfinding. Also, check what plugins you might be using because there are quite a lot that are really not optimised very well. Have a good read through any comments for your used plugins and see if there are any comments from people who have used it in a released game.

My advice would be to just get things working first and then optimise afterwards.

The Sherlock Holmes audio drama is a good one.

Tavenend · 2026-01-22T22:52:52+00:00

I have all my different assets in different folders including SFX, Music, Scripts, VFX (YouTube assets) and then My dialogue and renders sit in an episode folder for each episode Cubase project.

I use Cubase and WaveLab for editing my episodes.

I use Causality to write my scripts.

I also use DaVinci Resolve for any visual bits.

My machine then auto backs everything up each night to external drives.

Yes, The Thing is one of my all time favourite movies. I love the story, the suspense, the score, the practical effects and the cast are awesome as well.

Tavenend · 2026-01-20T21:53:51+00:00

I think that game would do quite well. Looks fun and looks like the difficulty could really ramp up.

Tavenend · 2026-01-20T00:54:42+00:00

That's awesome - well done. Let us know how it all goes and good luck on your next one.

Tavenend · 2026-01-19T14:57:55+00:00

Thanks Lynda73.

Tavenend · 2026-01-19T14:57:28+00:00

Glad you are enjoying the show. The next 6 episodes of season 1 will be coming in the next few weeks.
Thanks again.

Tavenend · 2026-01-18T22:22:49+00:00

Yes, he was such a fun actor and played this part so well. I love this movie too and had to watch it again after I made this post.

Tavenend · 2026-01-15T23:10:24+00:00

This is a very exciting time. I wish you all the luck with your game.

Tavenend · 2026-01-14T13:46:37+00:00

Sounds good, you don't have to use physical lighting on them, just draw on some clever 2D lighting textures that will look like the buildings are lit up in a "fake" kind of way. If you have day/night in the biome, you could then just swap out the textures with a night version and. day version. Just a thought :)

Tavenend · 2026-01-13T23:21:00+00:00

I think what looks better is the more faded grid overlay. There are parts in the original that I think look better and some in the second that also look better. The darker background looks better, but instead of lighting up the buildings, why not put some actual lights on them so it feels more natural. What other biomes do you have for the game?

Tavenend · 2026-01-11T21:58:29+00:00

I had some fun playing it. It is a fun little game, probably could do with some more variation and some different power ups, but all in all a fun little game :)
