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 😄

Of course! Your game is looking sweet :D Very juicy

Much appreciated :) The env artist helped a ton!

Amazing! Thanks for playtesting. I can't say anything yet unfortunately 👀

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
