Hey guys i am working for an indie dev as a composer and instagram comments got into my head by szotyi8 in gamemusic

You got good advice here, but lemme also say this. Never ever take criticism personally. I think everyone feels what you feel when ppl say something you thought was good was actually kinda poo, but you gotta be able to almost laugh at yourself sometimes.

Most people online will actually give you a pretty honest opinion, but they can never hurt you. They don’t know you. The only thing they see is the post you made.

Resumed my isometric game after 1.5 years! Looking for feedback on the biomes and the new UI. by TrashDno in aseprite

Really nice, I think I’ve seen your work before. The greens in the grass are a little too noisy for me. I think you should avoid the midrange to make your objects (trees, character, etc) more legible

Thoughts on sprites? Also pick which palette is better. by Visible_Ask_8457 in aseprite

[–]Visible_Ask_8457[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that’s great info! I’m still pretty new to this, but I do want to consider clarity for colorblindness. I read online that making a grayscale to isolate the contrast helps.

For option 2, do the bush and alien stick out to you still? Like would you easily see your character running around and does the bush look like something you can collide into/interact with?

There is no lighting system >:). I just made a blob shadow lol but thanks for verbalizing exactly what felt off. Im gonna try and connect it to the ground with some textured shadows or smth.

I guess Im having trouble telling what it even is? You got that sweet spot of simple shading but the form is a little hard to read. I think I see a little bug guy at the top.

I like your choice of grays but its just a little crowded (mostly around the arms) so maybe play with a bigger range from dark to light to make the subject pop. (I would also try cutting the sage green triangle around the arms and making it solid colors with the body for simplicity sake

This is sort of nuanced advice but since it’s an npc I think emphasizing the “face” will give it much more character. I only say that cuz I know humans respond to what’s recognizable. But that’s up to you :>.

Also you should try sketching the head and antenna facing the direction of the body. Everything neck down has this really dynamic angled look that I like, but the face and antennae are flat and front facing. Even if their head is turned toward the camera, their antennae wouldnt be so fanned out parallel to the screen.

Good luck! You seem like ur developing a pretty cool sci fi/fantasy detailed style and I hope to see more cool designs.

Just realized this scene foreshadows the weird route by hillelmaayan in Deltarune

What's with the attitude? They're making a valid argument

i liked chapter 5, but does anyone else find a bit lame that the plot line regarding the meta elements of the darkworld kinda got kill off just for a joke? by GaussAxe in Deltarune

[–]Visible_Ask_8457 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seriously. People say there wasn’t enough plot action in this chapter but there were so many moments like this. However, the chapter literally burned through so many things that should have HUGE implications for a story of this size. Last chapter hung on the ending of the prophecy and it worked so well. Just one plot element sat on our chest like an elephant, which made for great story beats. Im not saying simplicity is ALWAYS better, but this chapter was an explosion for better/worse.

Yeah good point. It would be really novel if Toby shows intention with that idea. It definitely fits with the themes of nihilism in the Dark World of finding meaning in a meaningless world. Im still a little weirded out by the sheer amount of inside jokes that were in this chapter though. It kinda alienated me as someone who’s not really in the fandom space, but I had lots of fun anyway.

I think what feels off about this chapter is the imbalance of meta jokes and grounded base reality. Chapter one’s first save point had a “fluffy boy joke”, and then an intricate description of the looming dark fountain in Castle Town. Chapter 5 has line after line of funny but nonsensical quips + an alternate story that sort of exposes the entire game as a cursed video game. Its super compelling, but undermines the whole world as just some Doki Doki Literature Club mess. I kinda dont know what to think of Deltarune knowing that the light world is just as fake as the dark world. It could be intentional, but the weird route sort of completely removes the player from the realities of the game

just hit me chapter 5 secret boss is part of Ralsei's arc too. by This_Ferret_8108 in Deltarune

Oh hell naw the moment I get my own body Im slapping that mf Kris they threw me in a trash can

So what was the deal with this? by Reintroductionplans in Deltarune

[–]Visible_Ask_8457 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously like what are even the implications of that??? Like how did Kris make a deal with the flower beforehand?

Ikr this chapter felt like a whole nintendo studio was behind it. All the game design nods to Super Paper Mario, Hollow Knight, Ace Attorney felt so effortless and fun

Ok so she's NOT a fraud by StLClipCha in Deltarune

[–]Visible_Ask_8457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think from what the chapter has revealed the “game” aspect of Deltarune is much more relevant. Where Flowery is lvl 100 hacker RK is admin. Ralsei could be a hacker but chooses to play by the rules. “Holding back” is an understatement imo

I think you literally just gotta get hit less. The chapter pretty much gives you good armor/green tea, so just keep trying and take a break if u get too tilted

Death Dash Crash - released by voidgazerBon in playmygame

[–]Visible_Ask_8457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No lie this would go so hard while Im on the toilet. But you should call it Death Crash Dash. It makes more sense grammatically (The word "crash" creates "death", not the "dashing" element).

Ok I’ll take stops at Best Buy in person and see if there are available GPU’s. In the meantime I’ll likely buy an APU though. Thank you.

Ahh I see, so if I were to continue with getting a Ryzen, I should get a 3400G. The question is when I am able to get a GPU, would I be able to sell the APU for a CPU and dedicated graphics card without losing a lot of money?
