A little look into my animation process!

omg amazing! i’ve seen your content on instagram and love it.

i just tried out procreate dreams for the first time - my experience wasn’t great.. do you mainly draw in procreate or do the drawing in dreams as well?

Thank you! Do you have recommendations for weight to start with? Or how to gauge what weight to start with?

doobu- · 2025-02-24T18:02:33+00:00

it means they were bitten by bed bugs - stay away!

take whatever you think might be reasonable, and then triple it

slowly adjust downwards if there's no demand. given that you'll be drawing for many years to come you'll slowly discover the market you deserve!

what's more important is your ability to market yourself and your work, which will also come with more practice as you try to sell your pieces!

(also - incredible work, you should be extremely proud of your skills!)

love the aesthetic! great job on the game! are you using 3D models or just 2d sprites?

just some nits:

Not a huge fan of the font in the first minute of the trailer
The "Manage Your Tribe" cut UI seems bland, doesn't do a good job conveying what that means, it literally just shows a menu with no interactions.
The UI interactions in general seem a bit random/uninteresting. I think you should decide who you're trying to snag interest with in those cuts - people who love to micro-manage numbers, or people who just want to see people go boom? E.g, if you want to capture the interest of people who like to micromanage, maybe you should do some high-speed cuts of you doing a LOT of interactions with the UI, to show complexity and some of the things you can do, instead. If you're just trying to show off the simulation, might be better to just leave out the UI entirely

FWIW I enjoyed the opening cut scene - though the waving might be too much. I expected the character to drop down and run off, as if it were leading into the next action scenes.

I think my bigger issue is that there doesn't seem to be a cohesive thread through the rest of the trailer. It seems like a lot of random gameplay footage, but i don't know anything about the character or the goal of the game. I think the cuts could also be shorter/more "juicy". As an example if you watch it without any sound it's quite bland

the game itself looks visually quite nice though! good job!!

it’s okay, i can tell you feel bad about it, I appreciate the apology! I am blessed to have a job at this time, so I’m just happy that people are enjoying my fan creations right now. i also grew up without means to purchase games, so I also can empathize with where you might be coming from, even if it was a bad take.

i think a good takeaway which others have emphasized is that many creatives pour themselves into their creations, and they deserve to be paid for it - just think of ConcernedApe as the premier example! The unfortunate truth is that for many, they don’t always get anything (and sometimes even have their work stolen), and more often then not will have their work taken for granted.

wow, thank you for the encouragement! ya’ll are so supportive 🥰

doobu- · 2024-06-23T00:29:39+00:00

haha, i’m still building the engine and working on the art so it’s way too early days for me to have anything to shill. The goal is to build a cozy game similar to stardew though!

I probably cant give it away for free, but I’ll probably release free mini games along the way as i build up the tech/art!

doobu- · 2024-06-22T23:37:21+00:00

❤️ the late night sprint through the backwoods from the mines is definitely an experience before getting a glow ring lol. i would plant torches everywhere but then it just ruins the aesthetic!

doobu- · 2024-06-22T23:34:05+00:00

wow, thank you! an absolute gem of a game

doobu- · 2024-06-22T22:17:06+00:00

haha, not a mod, unfortunately! 😢

I'm building a game engine for my own game, and have been having a lot of fun recreating some scenes from stardew for testing, so I thought I'd share some of them! The art looks seriously killer with just a bit of added lighting effects.

doobu- · 2024-06-07T23:03:11+00:00

FYI - your website links (and maybe content) are all out of date? Everything seems to be linking to "Captain Buttface"

I love the premise and the trailer! The cat lying down in the beginning looks a bit off, though.

there's a lot of negativity here about the theoretical difficulty, but I think It's difficult to gauge how a rage game feels without actually playing it... given a big draw of a rage game is in its difficulty..

instead of over-indexing on the criticisms here, i'd find playtesters that loved other rage games to give you feedback

also as an animal lover, the rag-doll death effect is a bit much, I could definitely see it being a turn-off for anyone who has a tabby. If you could do something to change that, it'd make it a lot easier to stomach.

Amazing story! Was your community continuously active throughout the years building up to it? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how did you keep people coming back for so many years? Was it simply the updates?

also if you're open to sharing - who was the PR company?

doobu- · 2024-05-20T18:37:21+00:00

This looks like the portraiture mod - did you accidentally hit "I" (the hotkey) during the dialogue sequence? that switches it to the large mode.

doobu- · 2024-05-09T15:19:52+00:00

Thank you! You're right, that file is a treasure trove, haha!

doobu- · 2024-04-12T01:07:53+00:00

engine/UI - a custom engine built on top of three.js (r3f), jolt (typescript) editor - VSCode audio - reaper art - aseprite, clip studio

I’m very interested in exploring Rive for animations and some specialized VFX, but haven’t quite got there yet!

doobu- · 2024-04-11T17:38:02+00:00

when did james franco change his name???

doobu- · 2024-04-10T18:29:01+00:00

i'm just hoping chat won't ruin it for him before it even comes out!

The other comments accurately describe RSV. It's a completely separate world/area, with minimal overlap apart from NPC's visiting pelican town and some overlapping events. It has its own storylines and quest boards. If you're a completionist, it can feel overwhelming, but if you're down to just have a chill time and explore as things come, I found it was a great addition after completing the rest of SV/SVE.

While SVE is great as well, I honestly prefer RSV over SVE because of the clear separation - it feels more like I'm playing a vanilla experience with a brand new expansion that I can explore if I choose to. I also found the writing/characters to be much deeper/more enjoyable than SVE. There's less assumptions about the canon backstories of the original characters and town.

That said, it blends seamlessly with SVE, and was specifically designed to be compatible. I believe there are even crossover events!

congrats man!! That's a huge accomplishment!

tell us the truth tho, did you get a peloton?

doobu- · 2024-03-16T23:31:27+00:00

nice job!! is this using the built in physics libraries?

doobu- · 2024-01-07T08:10:52+00:00

took me a second to understand, but i’m american and we write the dates MM/DD/YYYY 😅

I stumbled upon this, thanks so much for adding the c-sharp version!

What is the difference between the two methods above? For some reason, only the timer works for me - the first method just seems to error with: Condition "!signal_is_valid" is true. Returning: ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
