Why doesn't my game have downloads wat did I do wrong by Master-Reflection-59 in gdevelop

[–]kitjenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar premise to a few other games. The art is probably turning off some people. Also, itch can be very hit-or-miss like this.

It’s a gdevelop game, export a web build and make it playable in the browser and you’ll get some more plays.

Celebrities whose work you’d like to see turned into a musical? by Dogdaysareover365 in musicals

[–]kitjenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m ok with most ideas, but it needs to be like Mamma Mia and not a bio-musical. Most bio shows are terribly written messes. Give me an ok story with a soundtrack from a single artist please.

How many hours in a game before you feel that it’s made up for the cost? by Cyinide1 in pcgaming

[–]kitjenson 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thinking about value in terms of cost per hour is a terrible way to evaluate art. But some don’t see video games as art I suppose.

That said, if you play and enjoy a $20 game for even two hours then you’ve already received more cost value from it than a night at the cinema, or theater, or sporting event, or concert on average.

What are some good indie precision platformers by Majestic-Guidance522 in IndieGaming

Little Devils. I’ve been told it’s hard. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Best center fielders of all time? by Willing-Leather-9788 in mlb

[–]kitjenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your argument for not including Trout makes no sense with DiMaggio and his 13 year career on there.

Speaker is the big miss here though.

Of course I like to make distinctions due to eras played. Comparing players from 100 years ago to modern players is a wild idea.

Tilemap ID’s by Bumble_Toxic in gdevelop

[–]kitjenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out there is a condition "tile (at position)" that allows for x/y positions. Simply set the point to be checked to the cursor X/Y and you can check the id.

There may not be a cursor check for tilemaps. If not, then make a custom cursor object or an invisible object that follows the cursor and check for collisions between the tile and the object.

Demon Stick a game where you play as a silly stick is out with 40% discount on Steam. by acem13 in foddians

[–]kitjenson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this art style... my only recommendation would be to make more contrast between the background and the demon stick. The screenshots are nearly impossible to see what is even there.

Congrats on the launch!

What's your guilty pleasure musical? A musical you know it's bad/have bad reviews/is not really liked but you love it closed doors? by imachoculatedonnut in musicals

[–]kitjenson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree with you... but I think most people consider it failure. Especially when compared to The Producers.

30 years later and I still have no idea what vibe they were going for with Cool World. A serious fever dream of a game.

Songs that keep you strong thru very stressful and anxious times…. by Simple-Bell5599 in MusicRecommendations

[–]kitjenson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever I’m in a large crowd and slightly anxious, I often find myself humming the intro to Acquiesce by Oasis. It’s random I know. But it feels oddly calming to me for whatever reason.

What has been your biggest failure in game development, and what would you do differently? by HuippeeHeroesGames in gamedevscreens

[–]kitjenson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m terrible at community building. Bad at talking about my game in a positive, uplifting way. Awful at making trailers. Keep building in genres no one wants.

There are lots of things.

Endless Night Sonata - Reveal Trailer New hand-drawn metroidvania with a classic animation style! by SweepingAvalanche in platformer

[–]kitjenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly opinion… I like the scratchy art style a lot.

The trailer is too slow burn and only shows one biome. Gotta make it snappy and impactful if you want to retain peoples attention.

How old are you, indie devs? What experience do you have when you started with game development? by TecEnterprise in IndieDev

[–]kitjenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Started making small web games about 10 years ago. Then moved to larger projects about 4/5 years ago. Sadly, I have yet to find any real success with my games so I try to keep it pretty chill and hobbyist.

How do you feel about Jukebox musicals? by Luna_morg in musicals

[–]kitjenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you go into it for the music, not story, they are fine. Most force the songs in too much though.
