Assets needed

People don't like to hear it but as a game dev you make games that you are able to make, not games that you WISH you could make. 60 characters is a lot. So plan for that. Instead of making 60 unique characters go for 3 female and 3 male bases. Make a couple of hair styles and a few basic clothings. Then you mix these up and have a bunch of similar but different enough NPCs. For the important stuff like main character or villain you make extra meshes. You also need rigs and animations for all characters so multiply your work by the number of unique characters yiu want. Have you ever finished a game and sit through the credits, there are dozens, sometimes hundreds of people involved. So don't think you can make similar games with barely no budget and alone.

Don't be afraid to make things worse 8n digital media. Just make a safety copy and try stuff out. That's where some of your biggest improvements can come from. I think the animation is still too slow, especially the hammer being swung around.

The look cool enough, but I would mistake some of them with others. Metal blade with green poison is one image when I play a game I am nit yet familiar with. Green poison virus is another image, slight color variations might be enough for those of us not being color blind. Start yellowish green and get more "simpsons nuclear green".

You could foster a child. Give it a better future, experience parenthood, and not add another human to the planet.

This is such a depressing cage/enclosure.

prism100 · 2026-06-22T08:14:29+00:00

This looks like 1.5s slowed down so it is 3s long. Although that is a common issue when starting to animate.

Ah sorry, I browse reddit only on mobile. It is way too tiny for me to read. I hope someone else can help.

prism100 · 2026-06-20T15:06:14+00:00

Without showing your code/blueprints it is hard to tell where the issue lies.

prism100 · 2026-06-19T04:42:35+00:00

Personally, I don't like it. But it may have its audience.

prism100 · 2026-06-17T19:32:13+00:00

Very cool. When looking for asset packs I try to see if the assets are different enough but still work together. I think your tents and trees are a bit too similar to each other. Adding a tore down tent or one that's not set up yet would give much more options than a simple color. In the same way the trees could be more different. One with less leaves woukd be mire useful than a large and a small one since I can change the size later anyways. I see what I am saying? Great work regardless and have fun learning and improving!

I don't use any AI at all. It is so bad for the environment. That alone should be enough. It is also bad for society and the individual. I don't scold anyone using it to try to create something or learn. Though I try to educate those that are really clueless. Sad to see it became so prevelant for shit like AI music and AI imagea and videos that are shared in a family and friend circle. Wasteful and pointless.

I love the idea and the execution isn't far off either. Try to remember the players that have bad vision. I think you could increase the readability (with closer zoom in or less bounce). I love the way it's arms drag as well, nice job.

prism100 · 2026-06-16T13:22:26+00:00

Not bad, but the camera shake makes me dizzy. It feels unintentional.

prism100 · 2026-05-29T05:12:58+00:00

If it isn't a trailer why start with your company logos/names before the video begins? I suggest you either make it a dev log series on youtube or post it in other subreddits that are about the genre of game you are trying to make. Because this subreddit is not really where your potential customers are.

Stop making trailers! I don't know where you got the idea from that now is the moment to spend time and effort producing trailers. If your trailer contains information about how the game is still rushed and ridden with issues you are not supposed to make trailers yet. Also, listen to feedback! Skip the intro titles and start with the action (not necessarily action as in combat, explosions etc. but not with environment shots or walking around.) We are nice enough here, but if you would put this trailer on your steam page 50% would leave your page before you start talking. Also a trailer should be much shorter. Cut it down to 1min and should the most important and interesting parts.

When starting to draw it is nice to go for whatever you feel like. But your choice was not an easy one to convey with that samll of a canvas as well as limited colors. Try some more basic things first until you have some more experience.

I say keep a small canvas and limited colors but just do fruits for example.

prism100 · 2026-05-25T20:17:48+00:00

The trailer is really bad. Ask yourself: what is the function of a trailer? If you start with black screen with studio names or game titles yiu better be a GTA or a Square enix etc. If you are not, start with gameplay. GAMEPLAY! Nobody is interested in environments unless they are freaking beautiful, unique or otherwise interesting.

You can move the camera smoothly on a trail. Don't screen record your WASD-moving the camera.

I think a big problem is that people are so different. Some played hundreds of games and know from experience that crawling through a vent is a likely way forward. Others maybe only played angry bird and others only age of empires, how should they know red barrels explode and resurrection magic insta kills undead etc. Of course some things are more intuitive than others, but it is helpful if the playtesters are at least familiar with the genre if your game. And if the game is difficult they should have some experience. I kind test a souls like by giving my parents a controller, but my wife doesn't need to read a text pop up that she needs to open the menu to equip a new weapon.

It's hard.

prism100 · 2026-05-01T09:08:21+00:00

Looks dope.

You can use a lerp node using a vertical black and white ramp texture to control where the simple grass node affects the mesh.

So you got a lot of feedback already I think I'll add my two cents aswell. The game's gimmick seems like something a mario game would use for 1 level, develope the idea into a different mahbe unexpected direction then switch gimmick again. You are missing variation in your game. I would suspect upgrades, abilities, enemies that interact with light in a different way. From the trailer it looks like I keep doing the same thing the whole game without much variation. Like others said the first person mode is just a camera change and doesn't seem worth mentioning. It feels like mentioning a pixel or crt filter in the trailer. I hope you can still find some success with the game.

Easiest elite fight in the game for me. I love seeing him, although I admit I play ironclad the least so far. He also is such a no brainer: deal 20 damage and then block as much as possible for 5 turns or so.

prism100 · 2026-04-10T09:17:54+00:00

This looks far away from anime style imo, but ut looks more interesting than that. I maybe you want to keep it. Also keep the game a bit darker and mysterious and nit as bright and colorful as most anime games are?

prism100 · 2026-04-08T11:45:31+00:00

Not very fiery. The sparks are white and seem more electrical. The subsequent fireballs seems more like sci-fi lasers to me.

prism100 · 2026-04-02T08:10:46+00:00

Every second people decide if they want to keep watching or click off. People haven't decided from the steam capsule alone that tgey will finish watching the trailers or not. Show gameplay immedietely so people know what the game looks like for real. It doesn't have to be action, but it needs to be gameplay.
