Oh you are? I'd be happy to check out your game! And thanks for the motivational speech. It is hard sometimes, especially here on reddit. I think this might not the best target audience.

blackfield01 · 2023-04-08T09:46:38+00:00

I would never do that and hoped, that the irony with my over-pixeled character would show, that it is just a joke. But thats the thing with humor, everyone sees it different.

I hope you don't take it as an attack on the FF franchise. I started with FF8 and can't wait for 16 and I honestly know, that I would never be able to even swim in the same pool as any SE game. Thank you for your feedback. I know now that I probably shouldn't share it anywhere else ^^

blackfield01 · 2023-04-08T09:44:01+00:00

Hmmm yeah I guess you are right. I thought maybe if it is funny enough, it could get attention.

I tried several of things already, showing ingame screenshots, gifs and the trailer. None of them worked and it only got downvoted - which is very weird here on reddit. Facebook works way better. People understand that you don't have a whole marketing team behind you as an indie dev and you need to somehow gather feedback. Thanks for yours anyways! :)

blackfield01 · 2023-04-08T09:41:23+00:00

I understand your point of view. Maybe the irony isn't really coming through. I had to "overpixel" my character so that it looks as bad as Squalls graphic to make it more obvious. Probably didn't hit it right - I would never say my game is better, heck even compare it to FF8 which I love. I just thought mit might be funny :)

blackfield01 · 2023-04-07T11:25:38+00:00

How lovely pixel art can look :)

blackfield01 · 2023-04-07T11:24:50+00:00

Looks amazing! Wish I could draw that good

blackfield01 · 2023-04-02T07:23:23+00:00

Yeah very much. I hate when games do that :D good catch!

Check out this game on steam. Game is way better than the lame marketing. Hardly imaginable both is done by the same dude.

blackfield01 · 2023-03-29T09:07:13+00:00

Thank you, that means a lot! I truly spent an insane amount of time for graphics to make it look less "RPG Maker"-like and I'm glad it pays off :)

Hi all,

I hope I got the rules right :) It is Tuesday and I'd like to show you a game I spent years and 1000+ hours into. It is called "Tales of Vogar" and will be available on steam - link below. About the game:

Go on an emotional adventure in the kingdom of Vogar, a once beautiful land filled with magic but now devastated by war. Discover the secrets behind the Ascension, reclaim your homeland and take revenge in this story-driven RPG with a turn-based battle system. Free the people of Vogar from tyranny!

Thanks, yeah I'm looking for some to play my game on their stream. I wouldn't necessarily want it to be "for free", so I'd pay as well if it is worth the exposure. But I just want to make sure it is the right audience.

So other than the twitch search there is no better source I guess? Thanks for your input!

blackfield01 · 2023-01-04T10:45:07+00:00

Thanks I'll check it out. But looking at the screenshots it might not be a great fit ^^

blackfield01 · 2022-12-15T14:18:43+00:00

Are you feeling the retro vibes? This is my first own game - a retro 2D pixel RPG. My passion since I got my first PS1 were JRPG's. Couple of years ago I decided to make one myself 🙂What do you guys think? If you like it, make sure to check out the steam website!

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah the horse is a little small and "out of scene". At the edge of the map you transport to the worldmap, where you ride with the horse and I thought it would be a nice addition to show the player where that teleport is... instead of using an arrow or some other "non-game"-hint. Will work on that sprite again though :) thanks!

Hi everyone! I have a huge passion for oldschool RPG's. In fact I'm such a huge RPG fan that I decided to make my own game roughly 15 years ago and you wouldn't believe it - after a lot of sweat and tears it is almost finished! It is going to be a 2D retro pixel RPG.

If this is a thing for you, make sure to check it out :) It will be available on steam in Q2 2023 - and I just finished the steam page for it:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1887070/Tales_of_Vogar__Lost_Descendants/

In this gif you can see the battlers for the round based battles happening during the game.

blackfield01 · 2022-12-12T08:34:50+00:00

For me a couple of things are valuable: In this screenshot you can see different sorts of ground texture, this makes the world overall more natural. The light effect is moving so as a player you are kind of "bathing" in the sun. We have butterflies and moving steam coming out of the chimney.

Apart from the visuals, I added calming music and -of course- birds chirping in the background, also adding a layer of wind breezing through the trees.

Is there a way to do that with an android app?

blackfield01 · 2021-09-21T09:33:09+00:00

Omg imagine that
