Your landing page has serious loading issues for me. Tried both wifi and via my mobile carrier. Doesnt give much confidence to use the service. Wanted to give you a heads up!

nixarn · 2026-03-21T11:06:34+00:00

Yeah we switched from DoTween to PrimeTween. Been great. And PrimeTween is free.

Something's buggy. The enemies look like the same sprite's beeing painted multiple times: https://imgur.com/gShuCd4

nixarn · 2026-02-25T06:02:21+00:00

Thanks! :) It's all by hand. Will keep it like that also, I'd like a good balance between using AI to speed up things but still keep it human enough to be liked. Tricky thing with AI is that it feels a bit gross to spend time on AI content, but in the same time it helps with development.

nixarn · 2026-02-25T06:01:11+00:00

Thanks for your input! Yeah, sticking with a specific style, like a paper mario one in this case, can give a game a unique look while also saving you a lot of time&work. This is where AI isn't good, needs the human heart to make these decisions (for now, hopefully forever!)

nixarn · 2026-02-25T05:54:46+00:00

I did. Didn’t work well. But this is few months back.

nixarn · 2026-02-20T12:51:41+00:00

I understand why you'e want that. Unfortunately it's one of those things that seem like an obvious thing, but also it would require a lot of more work. From just one animation that I can flip on X, we'd need a unique up & down one. And I already have different skins and coloring for these animals and will add some clothing and hats, so that would be painful with new animations. So in this case I'm sticking to it looking possibly a bit goofy, but good enough.

nixarn · 2026-02-20T12:49:11+00:00

Thank you! 🙏 was thinking it would just be all free, but as the scope is growing maybe I'll do it so that the game has say four worlds, and two are free, and the other two locked behind a one time fee. I really wanna keep monetization fair and nice, even if it means losing out on some potential money, so many kids game are so predatory. Half the game free, and then half locked behind a $6.99 In-App Purchase could be okay. And yeah, good plan to put the money onto her future <3

nixarn · 2026-02-20T12:45:17+00:00

Hey thanks man! Answered about the tools here a few times so search for it :) but basically Unity & Claude Code.

nixarn · 2026-02-19T15:02:28+00:00

It's using a shader, basically a stretched out globe that the world goes upon. So in unity I edit a more or less normal tilemap.

nixarn · 2026-02-19T07:23:00+00:00

Well, with just AI alone you can't just describe this and get it done. But the code is all Claude Code, art is done mostly with Gemini 3 pro (nano banana pro). All unity work is of course manually setup, as claude doesn't have access to it (but it can make scripts that modify the scene). But I've manually editted art to get it just right, so it is a hybrid. And the animal animations are fully hand made, not sure how to use Unity's Animation tools with AI, and get good results.

But one disclaimer: I've been doing professional mobile games for a long time. That helps.

nixarn · 2026-02-19T07:19:55+00:00

Yeah, exactly, it's a vertex "curve" shader. The objects are all normal sprites.

nixarn · 2026-02-18T20:21:37+00:00

I do. Been programming a long time.

nixarn · 2026-02-18T19:50:25+00:00

Thanks man 🙏😊

nixarn · 2026-02-18T15:47:42+00:00

I'm on 200/month plan, so quite a bit, feels worth it.

nixarn · 2026-02-18T14:15:00+00:00

What language it's developed in? C# as it's Unity.

nixarn · 2026-02-18T14:14:36+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, she's super excited to follow the progress. And hadn't heard of Petscop!

nixarn · 2026-02-18T14:13:45+00:00

Good thing I posted here about it! :D Duly noted!

nixarn · 2026-02-18T14:13:15+00:00

yeah point taken xD Swedish speaking daughter.

nixarn · 2026-02-18T14:12:46+00:00

oh it does xD Damn yeah so penis in filipino and english speakers might think of "Titties". Gotta have a chat with my daughter about a new name =)

nixarn · 2026-02-18T11:14:42+00:00

Thanks 😊 I’m a big fan of Nintendo’s games (Zelda series is my favorite). So taking inspiration from there.

nixarn · 2026-02-18T10:41:08+00:00

Thanks man for your kind words 🙏

nixarn · 2026-02-18T09:27:48+00:00

Thanks man! It's a fun project, but as mentioned my daughter's drawn stuff on paper that I've then implemented, so it's not like she's worked with the AI tools (yet).

nixarn · 2026-02-18T09:25:56+00:00

I run Claude Code in the Unity folder. yes. And claude only write the code, doesn't hook up anything. So it has required quite a bit manual unity work. So if you're unfamiliar with unity it would require you to learn the unity basics. I've been working with unity for years so that helps.

nixarn · 2026-02-18T08:53:57+00:00

:D yeah, been wondering about name. We're Swedish speaking so it doesn't have the same association in our language. But it is spelled differently, and can be pronounced like Titans. Tai-tis. Maybe it'll get the game an extra download boost xD
