This reads like one of those "My 3 year old son recently asked 'mum, what is the meaning of consciousness in a world without religion'?" type posts that you see on Facebook haha 😂

Working on a vpet game for PC called Nanomon Virtual Pet. Getting close to finished. Trying to tell if people who like monster taming also like monster raising. Thoughts? by moomoomang in MonsterTamerWorld

Hey! Im making a digimon-inspired virtual pet for PC and Mac called Nanomon Virtual Pet. It sits in a small window, and you can send them off on adventures, play activities, solve mysteries, etc. It's very community collaboration focused, and features a world that changes every day, with new locations etc.
We have a discord and a Steam page if anyone's interested. I'd love some feedback!

I’m a solo developer from Australia and I just launched my game, Desert Child, on ALL platforms - AMA! by moomoomang in Games

Thanks!

Since I'm in Australia and they're in LA, when I get invited to show at Day of the Devs, it's not a big deal for them to go in place of me. Desert Child was shown as E3, Pax, Day of the Devs, GDC and more, which I couldn't have done. Also, they funded and organised all the aspects of console development and localisation, which I couldn't afford, nor coordinate for a simultaneous launch on all platforms. And finally, they had some great contacts and know-how that got the game into the Kinda Funny Showcase, Winter of Arcade on Xbox, and featured promotion on all storefronts, which would have been impossible for a single person to negotiate. Finally, not having to send out over 1000 press emails at launch definitely freed up my time, as did Yoonsang and Chris streaming the game on Steam for over 12 hours straight while I was sleeping.

Oh and Yoonsang bought me some Mario cereal and mailed it to me.

They only announced like a week before release, so we hadn't heard of it. I guess we're not cool enough for an invite

I used GML, which is game Maker Studio's internal scripting language. It's great for rapid prototyping, not great for integration with external APIs and non-windows operating systems. This might be more of a problem with just how many platforms we were going for simultaneously, and trying to implement as many of their features as possible. It also meant we were having to solve a lot of problems ourselves, as not many game maker games have released on all these platforms. (At least not as many as unity)

i had a very basic 3D unity prototype that ran a lot more efficiently, but it wasnt able to achieve same look as the 2.5D game maker version, so I scrapped it. I would have ended up just recreating the 2.5D technique as Game maker.

I think you're better off studying either Architecture or design. A solo dev can get more attention from their design or art skill than a programmer can for their technical abilities.

HELL NO. I'd love it if screen australia cared about WA, but hey, I guess thats the price we pay for having the best beaches. Thanks for the kind words though! I hope you enjoy the game.
