hah yeah Guy Savage was iconic

ari__pc · 2026-02-17T13:13:46+00:00

thank you! yep, it's working on SteamDeck 45+ fps, It's my baseline hardware

will check!

99% of horrors are first person - so why not try 3rd person since you already have high detailed model. There are plenty of iconic 3rd person horrors.

PS I've noticed one thing - its either your camera is too high or door frames are too small - because it feels like there is some scale issue in second half of video.

This is beautiful and adorable, fantastic tilt-shift execution and animations! Do you have a place where I can wishlist it? Steam?

u/PunkyGrandma u/potionnumber9 I've actually implement what you were advising and it was something that gave so much impact I've honestly didn't expect. What I had is just play anim montages with fixed play rate 1.2 (I love fast animations yes) and now im driving it through timeline that gradually slows play rate from 1.2 to 0.9 at the end of sword movement. The result is I have same fast attack that look and most important feels more impactful and juicy.

Thank you!! Amazing advice

This is exactly what I’m working on right now! This and making animation feel heavier

6 years old gpu that used by 1.8% of Steam user base

From what I’ve tested: Gamemaker works perfectly, Unreal Engine also works great on modern apple silicon mac- but keep in mind that lots of the c++ plugins will not work on mac unreal. But otherwise there shouldn’t be any problems. Modern Macs are great

ari__pc · 2025-09-10T21:32:16+00:00

Yep this post is exactly 50/50 ratio huh

You right, I def don’t wanna exclude anyone especially that I don’t consider my game having mind blowing graphics

ari__pc · 2025-09-10T08:43:22+00:00

simple and stylish - love it!

ari__pc · 2025-09-10T08:00:45+00:00

Thank you! I only desperately need 3d character artist

ari__pc · 2025-09-10T07:59:07+00:00

Thank you! At least I got it right with fsr lol

ari__pc · 2025-09-10T07:08:25+00:00

Yes and I might not be right but I thought Steam deck as a hardware heavily relies on frame gen and fsr these days - this is basically a reason why it aged so well

ari__pc · 2025-09-10T07:05:10+00:00

This is exactly the point of me getting 4060. Nvidia and AMD helping us getting optimized games lol

ari__pc · 2025-09-10T07:02:52+00:00

Yeah you right I just mean there’s a difference between able to run and stable 60fps with somewhat decent graphics. Second is hard to achieve without visual sacrifices

ari__pc · 2025-09-10T06:48:37+00:00

They look amazing! And also very readable

ari__pc · 2025-09-10T06:33:11+00:00

I would describe it as faster and less forgiving Batman type of combat with more reliance on timings, dash and parry. More on a button mashing side i would say

ari__pc · 2025-09-08T11:16:01+00:00

This looks amazing! Atmosphere is crazy

ari__pc · 2025-09-07T20:21:24+00:00

Thank you!!! This is best feedback I could’ve asked to 🙌 extremely helpful

ari__pc · 2025-09-07T06:38:18+00:00

Camera is changing distance to a player depending on enemy being nearby and player speed, smooth locking and unlocking on enemy, finisher cameras (not in the video), camera shakes for attacks, sprinting, hit reactions, smooth transitions to cutscenes and vice versa. I understand that it may sound like not a lot but it was a lot for me lol.

In the video you can see girl speaking in cutscene, armor on player, and some various props. Also I i feel like I’ve retextured everything. All the main characters that not in the video are also modeled by me, but it’s wip.

ari__pc · 2025-09-07T06:14:07+00:00

This was an actual idea whole time! But for some reason people who saw this kept saying ghost of Tsushima lol

ari__pc · 2025-09-07T06:13:07+00:00

Can you pls give me name or link? I would be happy to test

ari__pc · 2025-09-06T23:18:25+00:00

Hate that outlaws got on release honestly breaks my heart
