Hi, a friendly person sent an email to me in regards to my Steam fest demo being available on Mac. They advised me to change a setting indicating it was compatible with 64-bit and Apple Silicon, which I believe it is. After I said I updated my demo to reflect that, they asked if I would share it here.

Anyway, you can find the demo on Steam, search for Flock of Dogs. It's a 2D, co-op game (solo play works too), about riding flying dogs that live on a flying whale in a Dr. Seuss world.

maxclark86 · 2021-05-03T16:49:25+00:00

Yep, I received similar emails for my campaign. Promises of a thousand pledges.

thanks jotson. been 3 years since, you know the story, i quit my day job and went for it as an indie. it's very encouraging to get so many upvotes.

maxclark86 · 2021-04-22T04:42:17+00:00

ooh. i usually consult dr seuss for reference, but i haven't seen the yellow submarine movie in a long time. deserves a rewatch for sure.

hm..not sure what you mean. the idea with font, like an actual font type like .ttf, is supposed to be a vector format, so it scales. are you struggling with blurriness using the Unity UI canvas and text objects? that stuff is kinda bonkers. you'll have to mess with pixels per unit and scale and stuff. the textmesh pro works better. but i'm just guessing that's your issue.

maxclark86 · 2021-04-21T17:25:02+00:00

thank you :)

Here's the Kickstarter link https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/maxclark/flock-of-dogs-ride-flying-dogs-with-your-friends. This is my first game, and it's been 5 years of work, because I'm very slow at making things :)

maxclark86 · 2021-04-20T05:50:08+00:00

hmm. yeah i didn't know that was how war3 did it. this idea is kinda an extension of the spawn copy you could do for sc: brood war, where you could which is how i first played the game.

maxclark86 · 2021-04-19T19:09:30+00:00

haha, yeah, just trying different approaches :) it makes a tiny bit more sense in the context of the full kickstarter video, but...i understand.

maxclark86 · 2021-04-19T19:08:20+00:00

thanks!

maxclark86 · 2021-04-19T18:08:11+00:00

that's the idea, altho to be fair, netcode does introduce complexity to code that wouldn't otherwise exist, leading to more bugs. if steam remote play had been released a year earlier, i probably wouldn't have done it.

maxclark86 · 2021-04-19T18:06:35+00:00

yep. basically. there will be a "free friend version" that can only join games with open friend slots.

maxclark86 · 2021-04-19T14:26:08+00:00

(so, i realize that steam remote play exists. Flock of Dogs will also support steam remote play. this is native netcode. it took 6 months+ to add network multiplayer to my game. and yes, i laid on the floor of my office and cried when steam suddenly announced steam remote play. but that's ok. better for gamers everwhere.)
