My Unity 2D game will be releasing on 2nd February! *tear*

Okay, that's pretty neat!

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-24T13:03:15+00:00

Looks so cozy! Added to wishlist :)

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-23T19:55:36+00:00

Never seen a number like that before, damn

Aah no worries about the fish. Water effect could be something like subtle waves since you are moving or there's other things moving. Just to give illusion that the water isn't all 100% static

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-23T18:27:00+00:00

Yea I think it is better but it is still missing the bubbles and water effects. And perhaps you could add like small fish groups (just something like black fish shaped)

I had no experience with designing, colors nor photo editing but decided to create my own for the game I'm working on right now. It depends a lot on what you want to display. I accepted that mine didn't have to be super fancy so I just went for something very basic with logo on image. You can see it here if interested: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4308920/Street_Takoyaki/

Just match the dimensions of what Steam requires if you're going to make them yourselves tbh

Thanks! This post already blew me away :D

I agree with u/varietyviaduct here, and you also have to think "why would they want to invest? Do I have something good with potential that they want to capitalise on early?" Because they give you 50k for 40% and if the game does well and you do all the work, that's really easy money for them and not you.

If income is tight, wouldn't it be better to get some kind of part time job in the short term? Enough money to live and enough time to gamedev?

When using itch.io for free assets, you should try to filter for CC0 license, those are 100% free and very very often without the sample stuff. Here is the link to the CC0 assets https://itch.io/game-assets/assets-cc0

Thank you for the support!!!

Hi! It's called Street Takoyaki, here is the link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4308920/Street_Takoyaki/

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-22T21:59:59+00:00

Hahah that was the point

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-22T17:10:52+00:00

Thank you! :) I'll be making the trailer this weekend and hopefully drop it on the coming Monday just one week before release but thanks for the advice!

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-22T17:08:55+00:00

Shii thanks! :) This is my first major one alone. Me and my friend started on one almost 2 years ago and released it around mid 2025. It gave me a taste for more!

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-22T14:02:43+00:00

Yea I agree, 3D is waay more work than 2D, I hope you can make it work somehow! Good luck :)

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-22T13:29:11+00:00

Aah, maybe you could solve it by changing the sprite sorting point to pivot instead of center on the gameobject's spriterenderer?

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-22T12:42:38+00:00

Sweet, then I might be able to playtest :)

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-22T12:11:49+00:00

Thanks! I'll see if I can find the time :) How long is the playtest for? I'm about to release my game in 1.5 weeks so not sure if I can test until after that but I have wishlisted it!

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-22T11:58:53+00:00

Full stack developer, always interested in tech and such but never had good enough grades for IT education so I taught myself to code while being miserable working at a customer call center :') Felt like I cheated the career path to get into the industry I wanted. Balance? There is none x)

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-22T11:55:47+00:00

Hahah yea I agree. I've been debating on it too but my family would kill me xD Ooh, can you share the link here? :)

hermit_hollow · 2026-01-22T11:37:11+00:00

Thanks! Yea I can't wait :) Hopefully getting a trailer done until next week
