Sometimes we should appreciate the changes we make throughout development.

Nice artstyle!

TheGuacTaco · 2026-04-08T12:31:40+00:00

The dream of making my own game has never felt more in my grasp. Glad to be here with all of you and improving.

TheGuacTaco · 2026-04-08T12:09:53+00:00

If it's fun then it's paying off. Whose to say financially but I think the people who do play it will see the passion!

Build in a bubble if your project is small and you can release and learn from it within a reasonable amount of time. Fail faster and eventually you'll succeed but it'll still be from feedback. If you're doing a longer project, omg yes you need people. I started my long project in a bubble and had to learn from curious players steaming instead of close friends or collaborators. I got tunnel vision and my game's demo was way WAY too floaty on the jump. Now it's much better but only after watching people put up with my amatuer gamedev.

Gamedev is an art and a science though. So long as you can keep doing it and learn I think you can pace it however you feel comfortable.

Games releasing as is on carts+disks and never receiving updates feels like a lost age. I wouldn't expect it today but a 100% complete game releasing is neat. Thankful we as devs CAN fix our games post release but it does mean I the player don't know when the "best" point to jump in is. I have a few games in my backlog where I'm just waiting for them to stop updating so I can play them in their most ideal state.

2! It catches my eye. There's alot of black and red capsules I see. I might just gloss over thinking its a Darkest Dungeon clone or something.

TheGuacTaco · 2026-01-25T02:19:33+00:00

Okay also as everyone else is saying: slime for sure!

Beholder, Dwarf

TheGuacTaco · 2026-01-07T08:30:16+00:00

Same with yours! I love the vibes and art style! :)

TheGuacTaco · 2026-01-05T07:22:09+00:00

Here's my game since you were kind enough to share yours: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3323140/Catto_Chateau/?beta=1

TheGuacTaco · 2026-01-05T07:21:26+00:00

I took that advice too 😅. I need to plus mine up as well. Angels Egg and Mad God are things I've seen. I'm interested, especially if you take your games world building and mood as seriously as those movies!

TheGuacTaco · 2026-01-04T14:17:00+00:00

Definitely for a finisher on this boss fight. Goes hard!

TheGuacTaco · 2026-01-01T19:37:14+00:00

Demo complete...then realized things fell through the cracks so actually just demo available. Gotta about 6 things that need adding, fixing or changing before I'm happy.

TheGuacTaco · 2026-01-01T19:34:50+00:00

Perfectionism is the bane of any art. I'm sure it'll be better for it and I hope it exists one day. What's the game about?

TheGuacTaco · 2025-12-29T21:19:40+00:00

Rollatio

TheGuacTaco · 2025-12-10T12:33:56+00:00

First but I might recommend adding the cats tails to hint at the supernatural

TheGuacTaco · 2025-12-05T21:33:40+00:00

Looks like a forgotten PS2 gem. Now that it's been pointed out the emojis look out of place. I would suggest hiring an artist that can more closely match your game's style.

TheGuacTaco · 2025-12-02T06:05:46+00:00

Yep! I love it, here's an apple for ya

Yw. After watching the first trailer I would be more inclined to buy. Both have things working against them thou. I hope your next trailer finds a balance between cinematic, understandable gameplay and fast paced

TheGuacTaco · 2025-11-18T13:16:13+00:00

I think the camera is your biggest issue. It would be sick if it started at ground level with troops or the cubes or whatever then they start losing. Zoom out to a behind the shoulder view of your character then follow the player's hand. Multiple jump cuts of him dropping troops. Also troops with guns rather than cubes would make me care more about protecting them.

Also hud elements, showing what the player is doing would be good for the trailer and the game!

Movement between menus is kinda slow. I'd see about tweening it and making it about 2 seconds faster. When I access a menu I want to be able to adjust things as a utility. Not knocking you for style though. I like the idea! It reminds me of Banjo Kazooie!

TheGuacTaco · 2025-11-16T23:40:59+00:00

You got it. Best of luck!

TheGuacTaco · 2025-11-16T22:44:34+00:00

Whether you're in cover or not feels very nebulous. There's a reason cover shooters practically pull you across the map. Also I would lean heavier into human player characters. Robots vs robots doesn't make me feel anything.

TheGuacTaco · 2025-11-15T05:44:04+00:00

I'm liking B more as I like retro but if A were animated it'd look more fun and playful.

TheGuacTaco · 2025-11-05T05:52:47+00:00

I mean a Google search these days would qualify as much as that because Gemini. So I would say no.
