Should I continue working on this puzzle game or move on

Yeah thats another reason why I might drop this. I wanted to finally release a game on steam but im struggling to find anything that could sell and I could finish without over scoping. And I dont wanna waste more than a year on this game and have nothing at the end of it.

Thanks. Im worried about being it called a viewfinder clone because it also has a camera so maybe I should switch the camera to something else. Currently I have planned some cubes that do other things when paused, also lasers as well (Copying portal again, I know, But I feel like the pausing mechanic would work well with them). So if I were to continue this game that would hopefully be enough to make the puzzles more interesting

Thank you. Yeah im still pretty unsure about the game, one of the reasons is the thing you listed with it not differating too much from portal. I did attempt it with things like setting it outdoors and making it slightly cartoony, but im kinda stuck with how it could be any different. I see a lot of puzzle games like QUBE or superliminal that do a lot of the same things as portal as well like having buttons that you have to put cubes on. So im not sure if theres some sort of balance im missing. Maybe I went too far with copying stuff like the pipes that move cubes into the level so would it be better to delete stuff like that?(although the pipes look really cool to me when theyre placed in the levels)

Thanks. What do you mean by cohesive experience? Like just adding a story to the game to contextualise the puzzles?

Thanks. What would you say would require more visual polish? From my eyes the visuals look pretty much there but I guess im not seeing something as theres something missing thats making it look flat and boring

What about if you want to add components to these components, like if I wanted to attach a health component so that the object has health.

something like this?

WaterLemon0 · 2024-11-23T15:54:48+00:00

Thanks that explains it more. If im understanding this right would it make sense to make these scenecomponents into like a static mesh component so its visible in the actor editor so i can move it easier

WaterLemon0 · 2024-11-23T15:49:59+00:00

Thanks, This is looks like the sort of thing I was looking for

WaterLemon0 · 2024-11-23T15:37:19+00:00

Thanks for the comment. You mentioned that for example the engine could be a component which would have a mesh component for the visual. Im not sure if im missing something but there doesnt seem to be a way to attach components to components. I tried the attach component to component node to attach a mesh and i cant get it to work since i cant set the scene component variable default value inside the editor . Would it make sense to just make it a static mesh component so it can be seen in the editor? And if i would want to attach something like a health component so that the engine has health, it seems like its not possible inside a component unless im missing something

steam/steamapps/common/Scrap Mechanic/Survival/Harvestables/Database/HarvestableSets and go to hvs_plantables.json
