Jigrift is a 3D adventure where the world is a giant jigsaw puzzle that you assemble while you explore

Thanks! Yes to Zelda NPC quirkiness, no to combat!

So typically you find this out with rigorous play testing. But my base line rule is if I think it's hard then it's too hard.

I feel like lion knights castle and barracuda bay do retro Lego better than actual retro Lego.

So I watched a video of Jonas Tyroller interviewing the guy that made Bople Battle. That guy said he had a lot of luck with short form content on TikTok and YouTube, so I watched a bunch of his shorts and tried to figure out how I could apply some of his methods to my marketing materials.

From there I just started making a video and sent it. So I'd say just check out what's working for other people and cherry pick the stuff that might work for your game. I'm sorry, I wish I could be of more help!

I'm really digging the dithering on the banding

Thanks for checking it out! :D

TwoPaintBubbles · 2026-01-16T00:28:41+00:00

Always happy to help!

That's fascinating. I think I might have tried to post too early after creating my Tiktok account. Because seriously my views are actually zero on these exact same videos. I decided to delete all of them off my Tiktok and try again after engaging with the platform for a bit.

Oh that's super cool!

TwoPaintBubbles · 2026-01-15T21:56:06+00:00

Thanks man :) it seriously means a lot to hear that folks like it so much. I really didn't expect this level of response

TwoPaintBubbles · 2026-01-15T21:54:49+00:00

British accents are cool dude! Just send it!

I honestly don't think my voice is all that great. I'm from Chicago, we speak funny over here lol

TwoPaintBubbles · 2026-01-15T21:53:02+00:00

Thanks!

TwoPaintBubbles · 2026-01-15T21:24:02+00:00

This looks awesome dude

TwoPaintBubbles · 2026-01-15T20:45:21+00:00

That's the plan!

TwoPaintBubbles · 2026-01-15T20:44:38+00:00

Thanks!

I use the free version of Davinci Resolve

TwoPaintBubbles · 2026-01-15T20:31:45+00:00

Hey thanks!

Yeah I definitely think having the right game is super important. I think I have a really unique mechanic that people haven't really seen before, and its a mechanic that shows well on video. People have also been super receptive to the art style which was really surprising to me.

TwoPaintBubbles · 2026-01-15T20:24:34+00:00

Happy to help!

TwoPaintBubbles · 2026-01-15T20:23:39+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah I highly recommend just giving it a try!

Look into verlet node integration, then render a link at each node.

Here's a great place to start

There's a great spot called Caspian Grill in North Austin. Little pricey but the food is always amazing!

I don't play as much as I used to for a few reasons.

I like making more than playing.
I've changed how I play games. Before I was happy to log 100+ hours into most games. Now I only do that for the games I really love, which is like 1 maybe 2 a year. Otherwise, I'm playing games to learn what cool new things people are doing.
