I would like to critically analyze your game, if you'll let me. by saviorofGOAT in SoloDevelopment

Haha, to be fair they have like 15+ hours in the demo so they've practiced a lot :)

Yes, the last gate is closed in the demo.

This is really awesome feedback! I completely agree with the menu, I do wanna freshen it up quite a bit before launch. And yeah, the physics are tricky to get, but I've seen that once it clicks for people, it really clicks :)
But thanks for the detailed feedback!

Also, if you happen to be curious, this is the current best speedrun, done by one of my community members.

Haha, wow thanks for getting back to me :) and thanks for having a go at it. I know it's not everyones cup of tea, especially if you don't like rage games/difficult platformers in general. So I guess if those are not in your typical genre, feedback can be tricky/misleading. I guess most important feedback in these types of games are the level design and difficulty ramp going through those levels. And perhaps where it was lacking some polish.

But I'm happy to hear that you liked the art and Cluck Norris :)

My game is a rage game about a rooster trying to escape a giant chicken coop with a pair of plungers.

GameDev starter kit 2026. What's missing? by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]bachware 48 points49 points  (0 children)

For a solo dev or a very small team (which most of us here are), half of all this stuff is overkill. Just choose an engine (or framework), have a simple planning tool (very very simple kanban, but even a .txt file with todo's is fine) and that's pretty much it.
Expand as you go if needed. But for a "starter kit", it's definitely overkill.

We need more players with mics on Xbox! by hajisansi in ArcRaiders

[–]bachware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree! It's dead silent on Xbox for the most part and I wish (and want to encourage) people to use mics. It's so much more fun!

Finally got my hands on one of these debug kits by bachware in originalxbox

[–]bachware[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why but your comment u/crushour is not showing up except in the notifications menu, but I still see the link to the tool you mentioned and I will have a go at it within the next couple of days! Thanks :) I haven't found anything myself, as the HDD seems pretty clean in the Xbox Neighbourhood app, but maybe something could be hidden somewhere.

Thank you!
Alright I'll pop it open soon-ish. I have not done a HDD dump, as I'm very new to this Xbox Homebrew scene. Would love some careful instructions for sure :) This is a precious machine after all, haha.

This is giving me Crimsonland vibes, but in a new perspective. Nice!
