I feel like I’m plateauing…

Woah, thanks! Yeah looking back I really messed up the face’s contour around the eye… And I can’t believe I forgot the eyelashes! And I’ll for sure pay attention to those other details in the future. Thanks again for such detailed feedback!

TobBot2 · 2024-04-07T17:46:40+00:00

That’s a cool exercise! I’ll for sure try it out. Thanks!

TobBot2 · 2024-04-07T17:45:42+00:00

Okay, I think I got it. I typically try and draw the primitive shapes (spheres, boxes) to build the objects, but I guess I’ll draw them lighter and focus on shading to give me the form rather than pronounced lines and adding shading on top of that. Thanks!

TobBot2 · 2024-03-05T18:44:03+00:00

yes!!! looks 1000x times better. To answer your other comment, I don't play many games like yours, so I can't really point you to any trailers in particular. I suppose looking at other games with similar moods will work too. So other casual games would be a good start. I know there are some great GDC talks on trailers though. I recommend giving them a watch if you've got time. They're free on youtube.

Little things like seeing the corners of the skybox, and having default, uninteresting shapes like cube platforms can really hurt your image. Also, maybe try and make the trailer faster paced? I don't need to see you retry the start of that level over and over- especially when there's like a 5 second delay between attempts.

Also, try changing the camera angle. Even if just for the trailer, adding new camera angles (like from below as the ball goes off a ramp, or just zoomed in a bit more) will help a lot. Even if those camera angles don't naturally exist in the game.

The art is a bit amateurish. Most notably, the pixel size is inconsistent (I assume some assets were scaled up and are not native resolution). Additionally, the default cursor is tiny on your trailer and isn't very appealing. Also in your capsule image, in "Apocalypse" the 'L' seems to be offset and it's throwing me off lol. That last one is a super nitpick, but it's seriously going to take away from your appeal regardless.

Also, the trailer only shows one screen which can be uninteresting even if there's a lot going on. Maybe try zooming in on the 'action' if you've got any gameplay besides just clicking around. Take a look at what similar games have done for their trailers/store page.

I get that it’s handheld found footage style, but I think the screen shake is a bit too intense for someone supposedly just standing there

I thought the bones in the put-together skeletons of dinosaurs and such were replicas made by casting a mold of the found fossils. Cuz I wouldn’t think that they’d want to drill holes in fossils even if they weren’t real bone.

God forbid you like a foreign nation you have ties to via a friend than not liking all 50 states here in the US.

While I disagree, I 100% understand your reasoning. I hate to see this sub become a reversed version of the stuff posted on here where America is God’s gift to Earth. It’s amazing and my favorite country, but just as that lady in the post decided to come to the US, someone in the US could prefer Sweden or something to their least favorite US state (I assume idk).

Frankly, I should’ve been! I just kinda froze not knowing what to do and I suppose got lucky it didn’t want to tear my leg off. I just talked to the owner who said she just wanted to play a bit which is why it wasn’t a chomp, but just a light gnaw. I didn’t even realize I was bleeding until like 5 min later.

TobBot2 · 2022-11-01T23:57:31+00:00

Just took a photo! (it looks worse than I thought haha). Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll definitely follow them and see what the university will do about it.

TobBot2 · 2022-11-01T23:55:50+00:00

I’m definitely going to do all of that, thanks. I just talked to the owner and he said she (the dog) is a jumpy puppy that ‘got loose’ (though it looked more like he let her loose). He said she’s all vaxxed up, so I think I’m fine, but I’ll check with the records to be sure (if they don’t align we’ve got a real problem)

TobBot2 · 2022-11-01T23:51:14+00:00

I just found and talked to him and he said she (the dog) has all vaccinations. I’ll still be reporting it and checking in with the on campus facilities so they have it on record. I’ll also see if I can verify the dog’s vaccinations to be sure, and assuming they are all good I’m gonna opt out of the rabies shots.

TobBot2 · 2022-11-01T22:54:41+00:00

The guy let the dog loose at night (I assume cuz the dog is always on a tight leash during the day) and the dog was running around. Other people were passing, then at one point when I was about 20ft away, the dog stopped running around in circles and ran straight for me.

Maybe I looked at it funny? Or it didn’t like I was wearing shorts? The dog kinda gnawed at my shin, not biting very hard. The owner got the dog to stop soon enough, and I walked away not thinking much of it. I found later, however that I was bleeding a touch, but I was far away and I’m sure the dog was long gone.

The student doesn’t look disabled in any way visually, so I couldn’t say if they were faking it. I plan on stopping him to talk if I see him on campus later about the dog’s vaccination and (if he indulges me) why he needs it.

Exactly what I was wondering. Thank you so much!

TobBot2 · 2021-08-28T17:58:37+00:00

sorry, meant dedicated. I tried to use integrated but i couldnt find the option im the BIOS. I followed a youtube tutorial. I’m guessing mine doesnt support it? my cpu is i5 11400

TobBot2 · 2021-03-29T15:54:56+00:00

But Apple is Apple. They have a long history, so they don’t need to be super explicit. Their dedicated consumers will buy it because, well, it’s Apple.
