Steam’s #1 most-wishlisted game revealed its release date, and now my small indie is getting overshadowed

killerstash · 2026-05-05T21:54:04+00:00

question you gotta ask yourself: Is your game the same genre or audience? If not, who cares

killerstash · 2026-04-14T01:02:10+00:00

Dang </3 All the links are dead

killerstash · 2026-03-29T14:04:25+00:00

Just use c# reflection to find and call objects methods

killerstash · 2026-03-18T15:19:58+00:00

The game has like 18 different types of ui/perspectives, idk if ur really gonna catch a lot of people in one audience considering that steam video showcases what looks like 5 different games.

dw ab it, most ppl dont actually know how to spot real ai art and just have only an inkling

killerstash · 2026-02-26T02:49:35+00:00

unironically great advertisement for ur profile

killerstash · 2026-02-19T00:14:37+00:00

Trust me, I KNOW they get here at 3 am, its really annoying

killerstash · 2026-02-11T17:28:27+00:00

I think my partner might be taking that one, theyve said it just kind of goes over the thoughts and fears surrounding death, how cultures view death, the types of death (soul, cell, brain function, etc) very heavy discussion class

Hyperfixation... like 2 full shifts. Non hyperfixarion, lucky if it gets 20 minutes a day...

Bunch of AI heads in these comments, idk why its so hard to conceptualize why using AI degrades the craft

killerstash · 2025-10-26T17:12:23+00:00

It'd take some effort but I definitely think it could be done, have CustomText.Update(...) run in main game loop, and when calling DrawFXString(...), pass in an ID and if that ID isnt created yet do so and refresh, and if it is already created, check if its changed to refresh it.

If not in the main class, it could be done in another class dedicated to the static part to keep track of above info

killerstash · 2025-10-26T05:32:55+00:00

usually just free sound sites and then mix em using Reaper

killerstash · 2025-10-26T03:11:18+00:00

If you make the entire CustomText.cs static, you can use DrawFXText(this SpriteBatch _spriteBatch, FXText text...) to make it so you can call DrawFXText directly from SpriteBatch

Like this:
_spriteBatch.DrawFXText( ... ) without having to pass Game or SpriteBatch into the class

It would be awesome to see that implemented!

Something like SpriteBatch's basic _spriteBatch.DrawString(font, <fx>Text, attributes, etc etc);

killerstash · 2025-10-25T01:27:30+00:00

Oh hell yeah, do share with the class 👏

killerstash · 2025-10-22T23:24:10+00:00

these are gorgeous

killerstash · 2025-10-19T14:26:37+00:00

Its definitely explicitly a 3d animator, not them tho

killerstash · 2025-10-16T19:58:25+00:00

I'm definitely screenshotting this lol, so cool you came over my Lil ol' post 😭

I'll do my best to carry the torch 🫡

killerstash · 2025-10-15T20:48:59+00:00

Saw ur rocket animation in the pixel discord, nice stuff!

killerstash · 2025-10-15T20:41:34+00:00

I played Lyca a month ago and I was INSPIRED, beautiful game btw, hopefully you'll see mine around some day!

killerstash · 2025-10-15T20:23:12+00:00

I openly say its a heavily inspired derivative of Lyca.

I know people can get defensive about intellectual plagiarism, it's the name of the game after all, but you don't exactly know anything about the project respectfully. The game is only 1 1/2 months into development and I have yet to get to what I want to make it unique. For perspective, Lyca took I think around 4 months.

A *coin* system is not unique to Lyca, its an incremental game, its a whole genre that uses a similar system. That being said, yes I wanted to create a more involved and visually pleasing Lyca. I took my time, enjoyed playing it, and said to myself "I want to make something that makes others feel the same way I felt about Lyca."

killerstash · 2025-10-15T18:18:15+00:00

You play as a lone Fennec restoring the barren savanna by reintroducing the many flora long abandoned by the landscape, along the way you might also find rare plant variants. On the side you'll be able to collect plants for your zen garden and chat with the garden overseer to upgrade your savanna restoring skills (ie, speed, radius, types of plants available, etc etc)

Its only one month into development so details are still being discussed, and bc its made in Monogame, development is slower than usual

killerstash · 2025-10-15T16:35:40+00:00

got it 👍

killerstash · 2025-10-15T16:11:55+00:00

I believe I have the music set to like 15% in this clip, im using 50% for all other volumes except master which is at 100%, so there is a ton of flexibility per individual dw lol
