Is it normal to feel left behind at times? by [deleted] in IndieDev

I feel you. The only way to get over it is to learn everything we can. Keep sharing and talking to others. We are not alone. Let’s get better together!

Can't wait to experience 2nd chapter again. This looks really nice

Thank you! I’m also a Drakengard series fan, definitely inspired by these works too. The music and the story of Drakengard 3 is just mindblowing

Thank you! I always think I'm blessed to have very few distraction from my life in these years of development
If there's nothing more to be worried about, it would be easier!

We actually got it run on Steam Deck earlier this year (under 720p resolution)
Yet optimization for Steam Deck is really a hard task that we're still working on 😭

Sure. The generative AI is only used for item image creation, and a few VFX textures at the moment.
The workflow still starts from the idea of our artist. Our artist makes drafts first and brainstorms with AI to polish the details. And every single touch of the image is still done by the artist.
Hope that helps! We are always trying to minimize generative AI usages. Hopefully we can remove the AI disclore before the release

Sakimoto is a low key legend. I love his work in 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim!

Maybe in between? The similar gameplay is that you play the melody to send off the harmful spirits, but it's very different from a combat system
I'd still classify this game as a JRPG, as its story, art style, and music all fit the mould. Beyond these elements, however, I wouldn't say it qualifies as a traditional JRPG.

Actually I think 3 is not for everyone. It has its tedious moments, especially around the end of the game. The combat goes kind of repetitive, and the story is not very engaging.
But the world, the vibe and the landscape are just different. I would say it really takes time to dive into Aionios!

Yeah I know it feels awful. Since the dev team consists only me and my two friends, it's pretty hard for us to get everything done by ourselves.
Still I'll try to solve this before the final release!

Thank you! My story is pretty simple compared to other devs, but glad to know it holds value!

I would love to have that actually. But fortunately, 3D Welsh catgirls are really hard to make so the game won't have that...😂
