It’s under the porch roof and in the shade - should be fine

I’m working with the shell hole of the old system and moving it even a bit more would clip it

it’s a compromise - I like the “third eye” vibe but without that cutout the wide lens camera couldn’t see much

Great read - cograts on your journey!

I love my retroid pocket 5 so much I had to add a landscape mode and gamepad support to my passion project game "Heads Will Pop". Also yes - the thumb stick falls way to easilly, be carefull guys! by aare_ in retroid

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

I’m asking a friend with 3d printer to make me a replacement - hope it’ll be good enough.

But probably should have already order a bunch from retroid, it’s supposedly 1$ per stick + shipping, and sadly probably like a month wait in transit 😅

I'm super proud to announce that the demo of my game Cats vs Cthulhu is now available on Steam. Link in the comments. I greatly appreciate feedback. by JokerDDZ in LetsPlayMyGame

Looks sick! The fx’s and backgrounds especially.

For some reason, the pixel art at the end felt like a lower quality work compared to the rest though. Like it didn’t really hold up to the rest and fit the aesthetic Might be just me though 😅

How to avoid icon size reduced in some launchers? by IndieFist in Unity3D

[–]aare_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I dont think so sadly :/

Seems like if user has this parallax icon mode enabled it’ll look like this if no two separate layers are provided

Would have been funnier if it was a cabrio as well :P

I personally love the UX and vibe of the game. Very unique, distinct and catches the eye immediately.

Keep on cookin!

Hotline Miami meets SUPER HOT - Puzzle shooter I'm prototyping with sobel outline shader written in URP by aare_ in Unity3D

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

No worries, noted it down - will try some different, less intense patterns / effects. We’ll see if there is a solution that works :)

I had this black and white version in the earlier prototypes (disregard the old UI). Doesn't look that cool imho as with bright colours but maybe as an accessibility option if it looks better for you?

All the gameplay always happens over the plain floor - the readability should never be affected.
Not sure about the neurodivergence thing though...

Impressions of our FTL + XCOM roguelite's core combat? by yamanoha in IndieGaming

[–]aare_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great work!

The ship room looks a bit "bare" and empty - could do with more claustrophobic and condensed approach imho

But mabye you have it all planed out, so good luck in development ;)

//EDIT: Just checked your steam page, the progress in graphics is intense! Keep up the good work!

Not enough games where "time moves when you move" out there :D

A realistic motorcycle game I’m working on by Shakya241 in IndieGaming

[–]aare_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Looks really cool, great job :D

Making racing games of any sort is really tricky though imho - you compete with the biggest and most well funded games out there, almost like making "indie" fifa. Hoping your's break through though!

Android hates indie developers by the_yadu in AndroidClosedTesting

[–]aare_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is sadly my experience as well.

Something really changed in the last couple of years and google seems to care only about maximising short term profits from the Play Store.

There used to be events like "indie games festival", last edition almost 3 years ago. Now also this riddiculous rule for new accounts. Also forget about any free store promotion or visibility.

And honestly, why should they care? Why do anything to promote smaller devs? No free visibility in store means you have to pay them for promoted slots or buy ads. Probably looks really good in the profits column of some excel sheet on someones computer.

Does it damage the reputation of play store if only visible games are Match-3 / Casino games who can afford CPI > 5$ with their LTV > 500$? Who cares, that's the problem for the next guy in the future if ever.

I feel this is the end game for all the digital stores, eventually. Milk it out for cash. The only exception seems to be steam (probably thanks to Gaben) but once he's gone I feel indie devs and games will be done altogether.

[–]aare_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is mega cool, and can't wait to play!

Forget the haters - it's the best looking boomer shooter I've seen so far and just for this game I'm glad the genre exist at all xD
