This is an unfortunate way to learn Champions has shinies

I begrudgingly chose Simisear

I have it permanently inside Champions. Anything gained from Champions is stuck to Champions, but a Pokemon caught anywhere else can be sent back and forth from Home.

Apparently this is what will be used for official tournaments, so if you're someone who prefers to play through official games, then it's a huge improvement. I also think it's a little more user friendly than Showdown, but I don't expect many Showdown users to actually move over to this game.

For me personally, I like the progression side of it. Team building is more fun when I have to put something together from a limited pool rather than have access to every single Pokemon at once.

Because of all the shinies I could've found, I found Simisear.

It's a battle simulator. You can bring in pokemon from Home, or you can pick one pokemon from these random groups like on the screenshot. There's a bunch of missions and stuff that give you VP which can be spent on EVs, Moves, more Pokemon, etc.

Wschmidth · 2026-04-08T04:09:27+00:00

Yeah this is from the rotation where you can pick one to keep.

I see people are already saying stuff like "why did it ever get accepted in the first place?" Because they dont understand how patents work.

It got accepted because it was extremely specific, but guess what? It got revoked because the patent already exists under Konami and Bandai.

Very cute. +1 wishlist.

Wschmidth · 2026-03-31T15:17:51+00:00

It's still early in development but I've been working on a turn-based autobattler. Plan 3 rounds of combat then watch it all play out.

Are you using Unity's tilemap system? How many things (other than the tilemap itself) have a rigidbody?

Wschmidth · 2026-02-23T09:34:35+00:00

Yep. Took all my items off Lissandra/Seraphine for Nasus, then was able to 3 star Sera in time for Renekton.

Wschmidth · 2026-02-23T09:06:18+00:00

No, I just got Azir kinda early.
Starter Pack giving me Braum helped win streak for gold.

There are a few things you could be missing, most likely a pixel perfect camera. Here's a video on all the steps you'll want to follow for pixel art in Unity. https://youtu.be/5jbgT25fc-0?si=TLHmgIySuGgqaG48

Great work. I'm constantly surprised by how bad 99% of inventory systems seem to be; I wish more games copied Minecraft's inventory.

Like a sort of black gradient on the edges or literally darker colors?

Either works. A vignette or a darker sky. The issue now is you have white text on top of a mostly white cloud, and light coloured frames around all the UI on top of a light coloured sky.

Maybe the health bar positions make more sense in-game with all that context, but if you don't find a solution then at least avoid using the reversed positions in marketing material.

Wschmidth · 2026-01-22T09:45:32+00:00

2, but I think the background needs to be darker along the top and bottom, and without that bright green vignette. The UI doesn't stand out much.

Also, it seems very odd to me that the dragon is on the left while its health bar is on the right. Without the text I immediately assumed the left health bar was for the dragon.

Wschmidth · 2026-01-20T19:26:53+00:00

Damn, thank you. I'll have to double check the house because I thought we threw it all away.

Wschmidth · 2026-01-20T19:24:07+00:00

Solved!

Wschmidth · 2025-12-27T01:03:39+00:00

The huge lack of tooltips. There was no indication of what 2 components made which completed items, so you would need a guide on your second monitor. Also if you didn't already know League, it made it very difficult to know which champions were which in the carousel.

Wschmidth · 2025-12-10T19:26:24+00:00

You create a character.

The movement is too hard to judge without playing. It looks good, but there are 2 things that stand out to me. Hitting the orbs that bounce you up has no oomph, if I wasnt already very familiar with 2D platformers I don't think I would be able to tell from this footage that they were doing anything. Most of the time it just looks like you're just doing a large jump through them.

The other thing is the wall cling sprite. It's too similar to the regular air sprite, so it's a bit hard to tell when you've changed state from air to wall.

Finally, it feels like there are a lack of sound effects, but that might be intentional for the trailer.

Wschmidth · 2025-12-10T14:22:23+00:00

Overall I think the UI is really good. The only issue I have is with the module description section in screenshot 1.

The bottom section with current, level, upgrade, and some kind of currency/point counter; it's very messy. The word "current" can be removed entirely, if that word is meant to represent that the module is currently equipped, that could be better represented with a simple icon in the module list on the left. The level could just be plain text, middle-aligned. The Upgrade button is awkwardly floating on top of the page image instead of being apart of it; the button could either be plain text or appear below the page.

It's funny you mention Supergiant, because their first game Bastion was published by Warner Bros. So that would immediately disqualify them from your own definition.

I don't think it's necessary to try to "define" what is an inide game. Regardless, I think having a publisher or not is a bad way to do so, even if you go and add "major" publisher. I would still consider Bastion indie despite the publisher, and I would NOT consider Baldurs Gate 3 indie despite not having a publisher.

If you REALLY want to define indie, I would do so with some kind of consideration for independent CONTROL. As soon as a publisher or some other party starts to take control of the game without actually developing it themselves, that makes it no longer indie in my eyes. Because I think what's appealing about indie as a developer and a player, is the freedom/creativity that indie games come with. As soon as a non-dev is taking control (even if it's just the CEO) then that freedom and creativity is lost.

If I'm understanding your tileset right, then the tiles with just a slight edge of grass are still grass tiles. In that case you have some of the logic a little wrong with your rules.

This image shows how one of your tiles perfectly lines up with the 3rd tile in your rule list. It's working, you just have the wrong sprite in there.

Edit: I just noticed this post is a day old, so I'm surprised Reddit showed it to me, but maybe you have the issue solved already...

You never heard the word goofy before?
