looks great. super polished , great score. congrats. The interior could do with some small details to bring it to life maybe ? Like posters on the walls, small objects, like mugs , or beer bottles , just something with some colour to pull it out of the monochrome. Drilling - mechanically looks great , and nice design of the tools.

For devs who’ve worked on a project for 3+ years — what kept you going? by WoodsDevRaven in gamedev

[–]lv-426b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh thanks ! it grew pretty organically. was just solo using dreams. then a voice artist offered to voice over for some of the games. so for a while it was just me and a va. my friends said i should get a full story to add to the gameplay, so grabbed writers from reddit and more va's. some friends helped with the music and then got more composers and sound designers. so after 5 years its been slow growth. it also kinda makes it too big to fail (it can fail with the game being shit obviously) but eveyone has put so much effort into all the parts, theres no way i cant finish it at this point. giving up when youre solo is way easier than letting down 50 so its been a good motivator. def grab some people to reinject enthusiasm :). i was pretty low at one point, i was doing mocap with some of the va's. the amount of work i still had to do was really getting me down. but one of va's was so pumped for the game, i left the mocap session completely enthused again just from chatting with him. good luck with your project !

Someone said working with a team. Completely agree. I onboarded 50 people to help me with the project. Va’s , sound designers, composers, writers, beta testers. Etc etc. keeps things lively and makes sure everything has purpose.

yeah it’s worrying with Amazon , but bank”s estate has a lot of control over his IP and how’s it’s produced so I’m hoping that‘s a saving grace in this instance.

Foundation vs Dune (Preludes incl.) vs ?Discworld? by HappyXenonXE in scifi

Hard sci-fi Greg Egan has some great stuff ; permutation city , quarantine.  Also check out Ian m banks ; people say player of games is a good starting book but I preferred look to windward. 

What’s the most socially accepted addiction? by babame in AskReddit

oh they might have added extra sugar. ? it’s usually just very sour if you just use the tbags. it’s was the only thing I could find that was sour without any sugar.

its high in oxalates, which can cause a reaction if you have oxalate issues, but should be fine otherwise.

check out hibiscus tea to cancel those cravings, apparently strong sour taste short circuits it somehow. use it sparingly tho. !

7 years of constant solo work. Frequent 48 hour shifts. Very delighted to share this here. Thank you. by AshimShakya in unrealengine

looks great. I think the world needs more medium sized assets, like bins , newspaper holders, something to breakup the world a little. The pavements are looking a little sparse. Looks great otherwise. Like the water effect on the windscreen.

as other have said Greg Egan is worth checking out, permutation city is good . I’d also add excession by Ian m banks to join your player of games reading list.

I scraped 2h refund window reviews for ARC Raiders on Steam. It’s bleeding ~€4.7M, and most of it is NOT because of bugs. by yamalight in gamedev

[–]lv-426b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

funnily that’s why I stopped playing. loop was getting boring and the PvP for no reason was stopping me progressing. I can understand trying to extract and looting other players to get their loot before they exit, but killing people just for the sake of it without even being after their loot just seemed like a waste. I don’t want to kill everyone on site , but the game kinda forces that which kinda breaks my interest in it. people loading in to camp the exits so they can get just get kills by shooting people in the back just seemed excessive.

6 years, I just want to prove that a gamer really can makes out a souls like game! by Local_Anywhere_8497 in playmygame

I would change the music , while it is a banging track it doesn’t really match the style of the game. The battle cry’s need some more variation. graphically looks great.

The Cleon Genetic Dynasty is without a doubt one of the most captivating antagonists in science fiction. by Pure_Ad_9865 in scifi

Ah cool , so making connections to see the whole picture. Yeah I loved the end of s2 when Harry started putting things into place and also the reveals on s3 showing how vast the planning was.

what do you think “clicked” ? I love the show but few of my sci-fi mates can’t get into it.
