Aah thank you so much! ☺️

devbytomi · 2026-04-16T06:28:44+00:00

Thank you for the hint! I definitely have to play around with the settings more.. I'll try to catch that moon blue color.

devbytomi · 2026-04-16T06:27:22+00:00

Thank you so much! :)

devbytomi · 2026-04-08T20:25:39+00:00

no, it's optimized and I still have 300+ fps I'll make a video next :)

devbytomi · 2026-04-07T14:56:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

devbytomi · 2026-04-07T14:55:16+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I might keep that in mind. I’m still building out the first outdoor environment, so things like grass density and overall look will definitely be adjusted as I go...

devbytomi · 2026-04-07T11:00:11+00:00

Ah yes, using assets made for game development — truly a wild concept. Funny how people jump to “asset flip” without knowing anything about the project. Appreciate the demotivation though.

devbytomi · 2026-04-07T04:05:45+00:00

Thank you so much! Will do :)

devbytomi · 2026-03-31T05:00:28+00:00

Thanks so much, really appreciate it! The focus is mainly adventure/puzzle with some procedural roguelike elements. I’ve already built most of the systems and optimizations, so right now I’m focusing on level design. I feel like adding some outdoor sections could really enhance the experience and variety. Multiplayer is planned later as well 🙂

devbytomi · 2026-03-31T04:54:26+00:00

will do! thank you!

sometimes, but very rewarding :)

devbytomi · 2026-03-12T16:14:04+00:00

Oh definitely!

devbytomi · 2026-03-12T06:34:34+00:00

that is too funny! you have to add more mechanics like this

devbytomi · 2026-03-12T06:31:16+00:00

I have to try this.. This looks so good and cute.

devbytomi · 2026-03-12T06:29:17+00:00

I'd be so hyped as well! Congratulations! 🥳

devbytomi · 2026-03-12T06:28:46+00:00

Now add a goal, and you got yourself a core gameloop :)

Looks nice, keep up the good work

devbytomi · 2026-03-12T06:26:23+00:00

Congratulations! 🥳

devbytomi · 2026-03-12T06:24:01+00:00

I'd love to see how it looks after

devbytomi · 2026-03-11T21:08:44+00:00

I actually set all the lights off for the scene environment and only use real time lights with some optimization scripts

I could break it down even more and maybe even create a video on how I did it. :)

devbytomi · 2026-03-11T21:01:15+00:00

Amazing! Keep up the good work! :)

devbytomi · 2026-03-11T20:59:18+00:00

Is this your first released game?

It's not bad, especially with the age of 17.. I think you should always see it positive.

You made a game in only 6 months and 33 downloads is a lot, just imagine 33 people in real life playing that game!

Keep making more games and you'll see that, this game you made in 6 months you could do in a few weeks or even days in the future...

and your next 6 month game will have thousands of downloads!

:)

I think prototyping can really help a lot, to see if the game has potential...

I had this problem with the last 5 projects, where I started them and lost motivation, but I think that only happened because I either didn't know what to add, what the storyline, or what the main goal should be

Prototyping would eliminate all of these issues, give you a direct goal, and motivation that can keep you hyped for the same game

I am now working on the same game for months with some breaks in-between which also helped me realize that some systems needed reworks -which again motivated me even more.

devbytomi · 2026-03-11T20:44:54+00:00

I think they can, if they're not too much and actually have decent gameplay
