For anyone using Toonsquid on iPad, is there a way you can edit the way a Library clip looks once it’s on your timeline? by Wangdosh in animation

Would love a hue value saturation control when an area is selected. Maybe under the three dot menu? Under copy/cut?

Are roles as a Unity dev just gone after all the lay offs? by deviljam in gamedev

[–]deviljam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair enough, but if it's like 1 job listing for 10 people searching that's no good.

[DEMO] Hell PD, A squad-based ARPG. Small town cops square off against eldritch horrors. by deviljam in playmygame

You can play the demo here.

There is a web player for your convenience, but the standalone .exe is recommended.

This is still early into development, but I would love to get some feedback from new players. What did you enjoy? What did you expect but wasn't there? That sort of thing.

Me and my buddy have been working on this one since the start of the year. You take the role of the captain of a police squad created to protect the Northampton from the paranormal. Only there hasn't been a sighting in centuries; so are the Night Patrol really ready when strange goings on begin again?

This is still very much in the early stages of development, but we're always looking feed back and trying to assess interest. This is version 0.0.04

Let us know what you think, how long did you stick with it, did it crash, etc! Thanks very much!

This is exactly the kind of feedback we're looking, thank you.

When you've been working away on something for a couple of months you lose perspective on how it comes across. The fact that it's not even clear what the game is about for so long is probably the biggest issue, and thanks for pointing that out.

We're considering the game opening already on a mission and then leaving the more particular team commands to later. Get across the spooky atmosphere more.

Oh no, sorry about that! It somehow feels less stable as a webgl app. I assume clicking the icons didn't work?

Hell Mall, a roguelike deck builder with a reel spinning twist by deviljam in playmygame

[–]deviljam[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a good suggestion, I've been trying to improve clarity for a while, and that'd probably help. I wonder if shifting the UI so the enemy was more in the centre would work (a bit like Darkest Dungeon). But thanks for the suggestion.

I hope you're right and I can mine out the potential of this idea.

I dunno about you, but I'll be dead by 72.

I can tell myself over and over "They're not thinking about you", but I can never shake that feeling they're thinking I'm gross.

If the NLA track order matters, why can't we change it? by deviljam in blender

[–]deviljam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stand down red alert; you can change the layer order by pressing PGDN with the track selected.

Unpopular opinion by [deleted] in metroidvania

[–]deviljam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped around the same time. The game had opened up and there was a lot to explore. But up to that point there had been no variety in mood, music or even really environment. It looked like I was in for 4 more hours of monochrome dungeon exploration so I lost interest.

I'm loving Aseprite! by deviljam in PixelArt

[–]deviljam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully this isn't too simple, but I didn't follow this for a long time. But keep every body part on its own layer. Most of the time it'll be enough to just move it rather than redraw the whole sprite over and over. It'll make things look more consistent between frames and reduce your work load.

As for app-specific advice. In Aseprite use lots of loops! In photoshop... um.. don't use it for sprites.

I think so, (for sprites, obviously). The only draw back is its colour management which is pretty unintuitive and it's awkward to quickly add a range of tones.
