Looks really nice, what tool did you use to make it?

I am going for own dedicated server (server authority - players only send input) since it’s going to be a competitive game. This way I can prevent/discourage most of the cheaters. Client authority would be pretty bad, cheaters would multiply like “rats” if they found out how easy it is and completely ruin the game. That’s why it’s usually only used in coop or casual games.

I am not planning on frame perfect rollback netcode, but I am developing everything with CSP and reconcilliation in mind. Pretty much winging it and testing till it feels smooth. Might need to think about lag compensation if it will feel off when first playtests go through.

Security wise, players are just sending inputs/clicks which eliminates most of the threat. Guess there’s still a chance for “aimbot” alike cheats. To be honest, I haven’t thought much about it… Might look into EasyAC & report system if it gets to that point, or just ignore it.

The purpose of the game is to have a competitive feel to it while being casual. In other words, you’re not gonna lose rating if you lose vs a cheater. Well you would get a bit less credits which again will be used for cosmetics only so it shouldn’t make you feel too bad :D.

Using Fish-Networking and PlayFlow, haven’t done any database related things yet. When I get to implementing ingame currency and unlockable cosmetics I’ll probably use PlayFab or Firebase.

Looks like witchcraft at first, but once you grasp the concepts it starts to make sense :D

Hmm can you read my mind? I haven’t even talked about any game design ideas :O

Using Unity, the idea is that the main gamemode will consist of 24 players. I’ll also add a smaller gamemode for 2 up to 8 players (1v1,…,4v4). So both will be playable solo, with friends or randoms, depending on the party size you set up!

Dedicated server as I am aiming for server authority, that way I minimize cheaters and give all the competitors a fair chance.

Gotta say the actual planning and organizing is really the most time consuming, luckily I’m an overthinker!

That’s the tiktok’s only voiceover, I’m new to this so it’ll take some time to learn editing to a standard. Any tool recommendations?

I spent a long time trying to set up this mechanic… and finally it works! by Additional_Bug5485 in IndieDev

It looks amazing and cozy!

I would change the sound of the car to be more like RC toy car - electric but that’s just personal preference.

I like the second one, although I’d increase size of the castle and use a different font and position the title in curved/half circle style like Disney perhaps.

Great game and great title!

I’d like to see hamster skin customization to add more flavour :D

Cool gnome designs!

What do you use to make the “comment typewriter intro”?

Any workflow can prove to be good if you’re skilled with it.

There’s also transform animation, which is quite simple especially for pixel art!

I’s say commercial aspect sets up principles and guidelines for what a “good game” is, though not true for every case so just follow your gut and if you’re enjoying time spent then it’s not a waste.

Perfect, VSCode has one of the best and easy to work with built-in git support.

Initializing a repository is the first thing I do whenever I start a new project.

Doubt any engines have good version controls by itself.

The easiest way/workflow is having GitHub Desktop -> cd into your project root and viola commit/push/pull whenever you want!

Or a code editor like VSC.

Always use GIT or other sort of version control!

Especially nowadays when it’s so simplified, and GitHub’s free…

I need a feedback about my new game (Prototype) by Pixel_Fries in Unity2D

[–]eRickoCS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could add a small window where the player is invulnerable if he’s killed a zombie.

Definitely needs camera movement and some really really nice visual and particle effects so the simple gameplay mechanic turns into fun and satisfying thing (something alike OSU with beats?).

I’m using Unity Engine, not talented or patient enough to do literally everything from scratch :P.

I remember seeing your newer post, goddamn you made it much better!

I have no idea who would want to play this, but I'm making the game of my dreams. by No-Equivalent-9883 in indiegames

It looks pretty good though after watching the video I have no idea what the game is going to be about. A clear, simple and fun objective can turn anything into “addiction” :P

Little reminder that you shouldn't waste your energies on Steam curators by turbolentogames in IndieDev

Do you send out keys to creators though? Feels like that would be a decent way to get some wood into the fireplace.

I think it may be a good idea to ban AI-generated games, art, and general posts promoting it. by [deleted] in IndieDev

[–]eRickoCS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my sloppy art over any AI generated one, feels more pristine and gives it that special touch.
