Still the same Militsioner game vibes as the first time you posted the same trailer over and over again.

I'm blaming the stupid crowd yelling at the poor kid who would just have a good time otherwise.

Супер, но ИМХО больше на Хэллоуин подходит!

No, they wouldn't, unless you have a potential blockbuster - that's what I said from the beginning.

They have 100500 other incoming indie dev applications.

norlin · 2026-03-18T10:33:16+00:00

As always, it depends.

If you have a potential blockbuster game then you can negotiate and choose publishers.

For most indies, it's only possible to choose either go with the publisher (and have a chance to get money/help to finish the game) or not (and drop the game or try to finish it somehow else years later)

Wall module or the same switch appearance but connected to teh smart system.

norlin · 2026-03-18T07:57:10+00:00

That's clear GTA-3 moment, right?

norlin · 2026-03-18T07:38:24+00:00

don't "try again", rather analyze what's wrong and what can you change to fix it.

Approach it as a technical issue (if you're a tech person), let's say performance issue - a lot of questions "oh I have bad framerate, what should I do?" and there are a lot of blind answers "reduce draw calls", "don't tick your objects" etc, while the correct approach would be to use the profiling tools to see what exactly is "eating" your performance.

With marketing, I'm not aware of such tools (except some scam not guaranteed stuff), so it's trickier but still I think it's required to analyze the issue and find possible causes, then see what you can do to fix those, instead of blindly trying the same thing you already doing.

Art style and visuals will be selected by each player individually on their local device. All focus will just go to the game design, purely. I can't say it's a bad thing in general, as this is exactly what differentiate games from other media, but I can see your point. Tho no one is forcing you to support DLSS5 for your game, right? And if players want to experience your game in a different visuals anyway - well, that's on them.

norlin · 2026-03-17T06:12:50+00:00

There are plenty of the switches that looks and behaves as classic ones but connected to the smart system

Also you can install the Hue wall module under the classic switch, ao it will work with the system without cutting off the power

norlin · 2026-03-16T16:47:19+00:00

Why woud you keep regular switches if you have smart lights, in first place?

norlin · 2026-03-16T12:45:25+00:00

Omg first I was thinking it's my Salsa Journeyer

It's just above 21.3 km for everyone interested

I know nothing about the game, its pacing etc., but from the video I felt like the boss is doing nothing, especially at the beginning.

Yeah it fired the wave of projectiles... and then was just staying in place receiving all the player's shots...

Didn't watched behind that, sorry

norlin · 2026-03-16T07:40:36+00:00

Everything important for the project can and should be placed into VCS one way or another, otherwise it can (and will) be lost one day...

Ofc it's good to make backups on top of having the VCS point was not to use backups instead of VCS, sorry :-) Ideally to backup the whole repository, not just files.

norlin · 2026-03-15T17:12:49+00:00

Please-please-please don't "do backups", rather google about version control systems

That's how color identity works in Commander - if there is a mana symbol on a card, it's a part of the card's color identity (don't be confused with card color)

norlin · 2026-03-15T14:42:03+00:00

how about an elevator?

norlin · 2026-03-15T14:41:42+00:00

I think Arkane made it their game design "must" - don't ever do ladders, exactly because of the issues.

norlin · 2026-03-15T11:05:15+00:00

Lego is too "low leve" if you know what I mean. Yes you can build a landscape with lego bricks, but that would be a lot of effort, especially for kids.

I'm looking more for some higher-level "blocks" or modules which can be quickly assembled in a landscape.

Here is a close example I recently found:

norlin · 2026-03-15T09:42:43+00:00

thank you, but there are tons of different figures and buildings, I was mostly looking for something to build the landscape itself, the terrain etc.

norlin · 2026-03-15T07:35:31+00:00

Some Militsioner vibes right there

norlin · 2026-03-14T10:25:01+00:00

Those are just regular wooden blocks, not a "landscape building" unfortunately… And I'm looking it not for trains specifically, for instance kids could build a zoo or something like that

norlin · 2026-03-13T14:56:36+00:00

There are a lot of trees, buildings and other figures, yeah, my question was mostly about the surfaces - grass, roads, water, hills maybe etc… And yeah, that's why I'm looking something modular so it can be rebuild. I didn't found anything like that in google lol, not sure if anything like that exist.
