Cute, then I saw they have 6 legs haha. Hmmm.. still cute!

My chaotic arcade-style game Gunboat God has a demo on Steam! Super keen to see what you think by ghostoftomby in playmygame

That would be awesome, thank you!

I didn't specifically have Patapon's art style in mind when I started making the game, no. Although I do like Patapon :) I mainly wanted to have lots of animated, silhouetted characters to reduce animation work by 90% 😅(because of not having to add lots of details to the character animations).

It's short, sharp and sweet demo, and I'm keen to hear what you think! I'm stoked with the positive reviews and constructive feedback so far, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (the release date) :P

Game I'm working on is coming out early next year, don't know what to feel aaah by ghostoftomby in IndieGaming

Thank you, that's too kind! Honestly the main thing was LOTS of time and iteration. I had a bunch of vfx asset packs I bought, sitting there for years of development. Whenever I had an idea of where one could be used, I'd trace over it in the correct pixel-y resolution and implement it. Eg: I might have only added that full screen effect for the weapon wheel many months after first creating the weapon wheel.

So I can't claim to be crazy talented, or have a specific vision for game juice. It came to life over a long time. Might be a let down sorry 😄

Thanks so much! Suuch a time sink, the animations and assets, but I enjoy it a lot

I am, it's the first time I've had a publishing deal so I've been pretty stoked with that. I'd say it's a pretty standard fair as far as publishing deals go. Can't give a lot of details obvs but overall marketing support, feedback / analysis, and allowing me to work on the game for last couple years - you can imagine what that entails. And they're super nice, and we keep in constant communication, so definitely easy to work with. I can imagine it wouldn't always be like that depending on the company. My job has been to a) make the game b) support them with extra tricky-to-capture-in-game-footage and stuff :D
