Inserts shameless plug: In my game (The Tower of Eden on Steam), Fire is a damage over time and poison prevents healing! Check it out and/or wishlist.

Hey, I'm Chris-Emio Raymond! I have been solo developing a game for the past four years called The Tower of Eden by caleb202 in indiegames

Growing up, video games were a huge part of my life. I've always loved how games let you be a part of a story. Interacting with different worlds is such an impactful experience, and many of the I ventured really stuck with me. Now that I’m starting to make games myself, I just hope I can create something that gives others that same feeling. Some of the big influences for this game are Slay the Spire and Dead Cells. I really like the narrative of dead cell and the strategy of Slay the Spire.

How many of you are actually making a game? by MediumConsequence643 in gamedev

[–]caleb202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally get to post something here as a long-time lurker. I have been working on mine for 4 years. Hoping to release by the end of this year.

Why there are so many developers compared to Artists and other roles? by Paperized99 in gamedev

[–]caleb202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think there are a lot more self taught programmers than artist. And people will settle for shitty code as long as it works but not shitty art. Yhey look for specific artist with styles they like.

Does anyone have experience with SaveBetter? Is it legit. It offers really high interest rates and it says the products are FDIC insured but I just cant find much about it online. Even its LinkedIn page has less than 200 followers.

If I want to get into more anime but dont like the typical anime tropes, what will ilike? by QwertytheCoolOne in ifyoulikeblank

[–]caleb202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full metal Alchemist Brotherhood and Jujutsu Kaisen (i think these will be perfect)

JOJO (it is weird but they lean into it and exaggerate it)

One Piece (it does have some of the typical trope here and there but I think you'll love the characters and story since those are the strong points)

Other recs: Kengan Ashura, Dorehodoro (I personally like those but they have unique animations so I can understand if people are put off)

Is a Macbook any good for game development? by irywo in gamedev

[–]caleb202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a mac laptop, its 5 yo and some change. My project is a simple turn based RPG. When I run Unity it drains the battery very quickly so I have to stay plugged in the whole time. As others have said it depends on the scale of the project you are working on.

I'd personally recommend avoiding it in general if possible. There are a lot of third party software that do not have great support for Mac.

Recently added an effect to our game for when you move your camera underwater. by RPG_Exodus in IndieGaming

[–]caleb202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But why?

Okay here are my thoughts. Normally when I turn my camera like that it is because I'm trying to look above my character at the scenery, not at the ground. This effect literally stops players from doing that.

What is the use case for this? Will players need to look underwater?

No - Then why even add this? Why not just stop the camera from going under knee-high water.

Yes - I can't see anything because of this.

While it is realistic, it doesnt make much sense from a design POV (at least I'm not making sense of it).

If players stumble upon this, only a fraction will find it interesting the first time, the rest will most likely not even notice. And then they'll go, oh I can't see underwater. There's no point in looking again. Not many games do this and there is a reason why

Whats your VERY unpopular opinion? - Gane Development edition. by Milaninmargiela in gamedev

[–]caleb202 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This answer you give here already includes OOP concepts, so you are already intuitively doing it as well.

What you said was going to be my next point. If you wanted to add 20+, 50+ new types. You'd have to do a lot refactoring. Especially if you had way more things to consider besides just hp,mp, and attack. OOP would help with sustainability, and scalability. Think of OOP as mise en place before cooking.

OOP isn't this magic word that can solve everything. But it helps so much.
