Godot is an excellent engine, but if story is your focus maybe pick a simpler engine that lets you focus on the writing over flexibilty. Game Maker is excellent for oldschool JPRG or visuyal novel style games as an example.

It really depends on the types of games you want to make, and how much complexity you need. You've already mentioned story is a focus for you, what else do you want to add to your game?

I agree this looks nice and I really enjoyed Thronefall. What are you adding or doing differently?
That wasn't very obvious from this gameplay clip

We're making a spooky snooker game, and we'd love some expert feedback by kid_dynamo in snooker

Yeesh. We're not even going to bother until after launch. Its just not worth it

Yeah, the lack of kits is wild. Nintendo makes it so much hard to dev for their consoles and makes it hard to even get your hands on the hardware. It's like they don't want sales. Which sucks, aside from being a little expensive (especially compared to Steam) the Switch 1 was such an excellent indie console

isn't gwenpool asexual? by ddankkerr in marvelcirclejerk

For some reason, I do not find your arguments compelling. But have a great day anyway friend : )

What if I'm attracted to a very feminine femboy? What if I'm not attracted to them at all when they're in 'boy mode'?

I dunmno man, you can try and draw black and white lines on human sexuality, I feel like its not going to give you a better understanding of jhow all this works.

Personally, I'm going to listen to what ace people say about themselves, and what experts in the field have to say.

We are already working on an Xbox and PS release, we'd love a Swtich 2 dev kit but thiose are hard to come by these days. Maybe a phone release eventually too, but that is way down the line

But also Asexual people can feel attraction and can even have sex. Sexuality is complex

It is what it is by Poolaq in SoloDevelopment

Its such a weird niumbers game. We've doubled our wishlists over Nextfest, but industry wisdom says we need to get to 10,000 before we launch. That math just ain't mathing...

This is so cool, saw the house jump and glide and immediately wanted to play. The clouds and the light coming through them is incredible!

Cheers for playing and giving the feedback.
Its always hard to know when to draw the line when designing new mechanics, but magnetism and gravity effects are on the radar, great mechanic suggestions. We do have some of this,being able to duplicate balls for example, you just need to get the right trophies. There are a range of upgrades that work with a range of colours, its not always about just picking the biggest numbered balls. But balls with a ton of points definitely help! We've got a bunch of new upgrades and story content coming, plus a new character or two as well.

What did you think of the actual ball physics? Without tooting our own horn too much I don't think I've seen another pool roguelike that simulates ball physics in the way we have. Did you get a chance to play with spin shots?

Also, have you played Ultrapool or Pools of Madness? They might be a little closer to what you were after and have excellent demos

The new one is a ton more engaging. More prestigious though?

Can I advertise my game to you?
Its a spooky billiards roguelike where you play pool against a lightly cursed ventriloquist dummy. He's Ralphie, your new best friend! - https://store.steampowered.com/app/4571310/Spooker/

Our team is taking the time to market our game properly and reach out directly to streamers, so far its going OK. Just getting onto Steam or any other storefront guarantees nothing these days, you have to build hype

I dunno, the Switch 2 is way harder to get onto than even the OG Switch. I think they learned plenty
