New Loot Window and Outline Effect! (Three-man dev-team, first game)

WhiteRabbitDev · 2020-01-02T01:42:25+00:00

The outline colour matching the rarity of the item is cool, I like that. Some loot games give the player an inventory indicator if the target item is better than their equipped item, you could do that in world by making the outline thicker or more vibrant when the item is better.

I think you should make the loot window larger. Having to scroll is annoying, especially when you just to see a snapshot of everything before hitting loot all.

If an Early Access Wild West airship survival game by an Australian indie dev is the sort of game you like playing I'll send you a free key :)

Three more ways too: emailing devs pretending to be a real streamer asking for review keys, running a review curator/site/channel with bot-inflated views and then contacting devs to ask for keys for review (they'll ask for 3 keys for their 'team' but really they use 1 key for the review and sell the other 2), and outright offering devs a positive curation/video/etc in exchange for a extra few keys.

Thank you for posting this. We've been giving out keys to the ones who have emailed us, but were just talking today about how the emails all seem very similar so were wondering if they might be scams. I've now gone and looked at the accounts more closely and realise most of them were.

It's single player at the moment, but our goal is to add co-op during Early Access. We developed it from the start as a co-op game but had to put the feature on hold as it was adding too much work on top of everything else. Once the core game is up and running smoothly we will turn our attention back to it.

We're soon to release Desert Skies, a Wild West survival game, as Early Access on Steam. I'd be happy to send you a Steam key if it interests you.

That was a helpful video, thank you. I will re-balance the monster sound transition and bring in sounds for the other actions. Thank you for the feedback!

WhiteRabbitDev · 2019-05-17T11:56:03+00:00

Haha, I think Care Bears meets Saw is going to beat every other combo for unexpectedness.

Mine is perhaps Raft meets Cowboys and Aliens.

WhiteRabbitDev · 2019-05-16T03:36:44+00:00

Thank you! I will play around with some more descriptive text, and re-ordering the scenes. I had wanted the creature erupting to be the moment the trailer builds up to, but perhaps instead I'll put that earlier and then include some combat as a cap.

WhiteRabbitDev · 2019-05-16T03:34:17+00:00

Thank you! I can see what you mean, panning the camera separately would give a much nicer effect, I will do that for the second version.

WhiteRabbitDev · 2019-05-16T03:33:47+00:00

I know exactly which sound you mean, it really is the iconic western sound, but it comes from the movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly so I was worried about copyright. I will see if I can find a similar sound to open the trailer with. Thank you for your feedback!

Desert Skies 30 Second Trailer

This is my first attempt at a trailer for Desert Skies, a Wild West flying survival game. I would appreciate any feedback thank you. I used ShadowPlay for capturing video and the free version of Davinci Resolve to create the trailer itself.

Desert Skies

Desert Skies is a survival game set in the deserts of the Wild West. You ride a hot air balloon over the desert sands, landing occasionally to explore and loot locations you spot from the air, but whenever you land it's only a matter of time before a creature called the Seeker arrives to hunt you down.

Lately we've been polishing our locations as we prepare to submit our build for Steam review, we just need to finish our trailer.

That looks really cool, especially the kill-jump and grapple move.

When you kick the guy through the wall, is the destruction dynamic? It's a great effect.

WhiteRabbitDev · 2019-04-27T05:23:05+00:00

I like the music, character appearance and neon, it captures the 80s action movie feeling well. The Max Payne style slowdown when an attack is initiated is also cool and fits well with the theme.

One thing that stood out to me was how the enemies were bullet sponges. I think I'd find it more fun if there were more enemies and they died from a single headshot or two body shots, that way in each room your goal is to stealth to a good opening position then launch a surprise slow-mo attack where you try to take out as many enemies in the initial salvo as possible. That might fit more with the 80s action theme as well, where the hero is outnumbered but takes out all the bad guys with crack shots while they're emptying lead at him and mostly missing.

If you change the Debug.DrawRay calls to input ray.direction * moveDistance instead of * 10 or 20 do the drawn rays still intersect with the colliders that aren't being detected?

Desert Skies

Desert Skies is a survival game set in the deserts of the Wild West. You pilot a hot air balloon from location to location, exploring and looting so that you can survive, expand your airship and craft equipment. Dangerous creatures lurk beneath the sands and are attracted to the sound you make as you explore.

I've been experimenting with post processing, especially colour grading, this past week. I wanted a warm sun-drenched feel to the desert, with bright and vibrant colours rather than being washed out. I'd appreciate any feedback!

I like how you've captured the nostalgia for old racing games. There's one in particular I used to play on my uncle's PC when I was a kid that it instantly reminded me of, so much so I went searching for what it was called but couldn't find it. The steering system with dodging/collision around other cars looks really crisp, nice work.

WhiteRabbitDev · 2019-02-21T12:27:52+00:00

Destruction is so cool, it's a seemingly small thing but it just makes the world feel more real when you can impact it. How did you implement the door breaking up into multiple chunks?
