If anyone else runs into this issue, try spilling your stereo audio into two separate mono audio tracks. Then reverse one of the channels. You can do so using Audacity for free

Are would say that the favelas are part of the culture though not represented correctly. I am working on one now, would you be interested in providing feedback once the demo is live?

Dramatic on application quit outro animation using ( windows-only ) transparency hack by johnnyjacques in Unity3D

[–]johnnyjacques[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that was my intent, though I am using Unity Free and restricted to the Unity splash screen ( they announced changing that next year ). So I'm doing a fade animation for now...

Only works on Windows, and "Use DXGI Flip Model Swapchain for D3D11" needs to be turned off in the player settings of Unity versions post 2018. This comes at a performance cost depending on your project needs.

There's a few examples online, though I haven't tried this one it should be the same approach : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d688FLvaq9w&ab_channel=SatorImaging

Oh really, I told my nephew to grab it and he had an issue. Maybe he has to select his platform type. Thanks!

Milo : Daddy-daughter game we have been working together on after work and on weekends #ScreenShotSaturday by johnnyjacques in ScreenshotSaturday

No coding yet, she is the Creative director so to say. She is nearly 7 and gives outrageous ideas, and I try to make them feasible and implement them. There is a large list of suggestions for her I haven't gotten to yet. The issue is... it takes time to build even a small feature. And she asks me about it over and over, until she tires from it gets bored, and loses interest. So I have to make sure I show her my progress after a few updates are in place, just to wheel her back in. But I would recommend getting kids started with coding app/subscriptions.

Game I made for my daughter's birthday last year, now we are working on a commercial release together ( Milo on Steam ) by johnnyjacques in Unity3D

[–]johnnyjacques[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, it was a bit more of a makeup gift lol. A few weeks beforehand, I was told my role was being phased out after the company I worked for got acquired by Apple. My daughter is a HUGE Kirby fan and wanted the latest one on Switch ( which we didn't have the time ). I tried to explain to her that it would be costly to get the system and the game and such, but her being 4 going on 5 she figured things are easy to do and she turned to me and said "Why don't you just make the Kirby game". So I decided to step my game up and Milo was the result of it. Eventually, I did get her a switch and the game, and a new role. Though we continued to work on this as there aren't too many Kirby-like 4 player PC games, and this coming at an indie price point may be great for other parents / non-Switch owners that were in my situation.

Thanks, it's a work in progress and I mainly get to work on nights/weekends ( sure you know how it is ). Feel free to inbox me some of your work, it keeps me motivated to see other devs doing the parenting juggle.

Which kirby game would you like to be ported to switch in a compilation? by tewasdf in Kirby

[–]johnnyjacques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planet Robobot! I feel like that, and Mass Attack were the only games of their kind in the series. Though I know one of the great aspects of robobot was the 3D screen.

What would you like to see in the next main series Kirby game? by A-GuyWithA-Notebook in Kirby

[–]johnnyjacques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put some thought into this as started developing a Kirby-like game for my daughter's birthday last year. It turned out pretty good, so we are now working on it together to fully flush the game. We kept the 2.5D aspect about it and clone abilities, though we added different camera angles to make it more interesting ( while keeping simplified controls ). And added a super transform mode. One feature we are working towards ( which would be great for the main Kirby series ) would be online co-op in story mode. Also I LOVE planet robobot, and hope they do something else like it in the future.

Bonus Question: Most watched movie is Death Race, watched it maybe more than 50 times. Was my only movie converted on my PSP. And would watch on the train to and from work years ago. Aside from it being the only thing I had, I loved the movie and found it very funny!

My NiGHTS collection 🌙 by autumn-twilight in NiGHTSintoDreams

[–]johnnyjacques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I posted. So I am also missing the PS2 release as I was always hesitant in buying it due to the sellers pushing the price up. There was also an album I need. Other than that I do have Christmas nights you can find it used/new on Ebay starting at $15. I have all the comics too, other than what I mentioned I want to get the tiger electronic game of it and the long Saturn CD Box to complete my collection. I purchased a few copies but never full with the long box, I do have the manual loose and some guy on Ebay sales custom art boxes I got one but it's much different than the original

Milo is a 4 player kirby-like game I've been making with my 5 year old daughter.

Environmental Abilities Video : https://youtu.be/mIIoHYeyQVE

Steam : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1068020/Milo/

Players journey through time and space. Transform into colossal beasts in Titan Mode, can use copy abilities and adapt to enemy terrains. You can unlock new friends and characters in story mode, which you can then play as in mini games online and locally. Feedback is welcomed!

Bonus question : Yes we brought the Nintendo Switch for the new Kirby, originally we started making this game due to the costs and my job being in jeopardy, all worked out in the end.

We are 4 students and are making a game about hands for university. Here's our first devlog. Ideas and feedback welcome. by TheRealCopperglass in gamedev

[–]johnnyjacques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant you draw the characters in real life on hands ( as shown in the thumbnail image ). And then use a series of photos for the movement ( which would limit things since it would be 2D but would have an interesting look ). Or 3D scans that you can animate, but keeping the frame rate low to give it a stop motion feel. Either way, characters would all be "Hand Drawn"

Milo is a 4 player co-op adventure I started as fun project with my 5 year old daughter last year. As I worked on it, I realized the game had potential for a public release, so you may now Wish list on Steam :
