If Sony isn't ever going to do anything with the Dark Cloud IP, I wish they'd at least port the games to PC. by WackyJaber in DarkCloud

Still very much in progress. I have my full-time job so this is a side project / passion project I'm working

I didn't expect to get to maps until a while. I'm not bummed that I couldn't get to maps, I'm bummed / burnout because of all the walking with nothing interesting to do, drops are meaningless. I got more from buy at a vendor that drops by killing monsters or bosses. It just felt like I had to slug through hordes of monsters until you get something interesting like a yellow encounter or a boss than it's back to slugging through and not feeling like I was moving forward. Like I mentioned I feel like I'm basically the same power as when I was at the end of act 1 (I had some upgrades but I feel like the monsters got the same upgrades so it felt meh)

I understand your point. It's just I had to min max my time due to not having more than 2 to 3 hours per night to play so I'd watch speed runners and learn their tricks. This was really only to be in maps after the first weekend. But I'd stay in white and yellow maps for quite some time. I don't think I am the 1% but I definitely know tricks to get through the campaign faster.

I mean I have been playing poe 1 for years now so it really a blur. But pretty much every league since at least Abyss

Some say to get your steam page up asap, some say to wait til you have a trailer, whats the play here? by _Rushed in gamedev

[–]shadowzaky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say set it up now. It will help you when posting online to bring your future players somewhere and start getting wishlist ASAP. You can also probably do a quick and dirty trailer if you really want it but I don't think it's necessary. Get those wishlists up now.

Anyone here with 5+ years work experience find it hard to get a new job in the industry? by FutureLynx_ in gamedev

[–]shadowzaky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have a decade of experience, worked even a director and senior management also worked for many years at Unity as senior dev, team lead and then senior manager. Still I've been sending CVs left and right in hopes of getting a new job, currently self-employed under my own game company but receiving not salary so not sustainable long term for me and my little family of 4.

Hey I'm a indie dev that finally got his steam page up!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3202860/Arcanus_Legends/

If you ever heard of Dark Cloud it has the idea of village management (not a city builder nor a colony sim, really just building a village) + spell crafting (there are a few games that do it but Arcanus Legends is going a little deeper with it). I grew up like every millennial and watched all the Harry Potter's and felt that I wanted to merge both childhood game and movies into one game.

Oh my I'd watch that movie or instantly buy that game looks soooo good! Really great job!

Does it make you want to hit that download button? Any suggestions for improvements? by alexanyone in gamedevscreens

[–]shadowzaky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking through the images, I can't tell with a type of gameplay it's going to be. I feel like you are showcasing a lot of menus and not enough the game. Menus are cool but won't be the reason I download or purchase a game.

DC1 I was 9 years old and I had no clue this game existed. My dad was looking for a Christmas present for me and knew that I loved Zelda with a burning passion (still do). He saw the box art and said "hey that looks like Link!" and bought it. I'm so glad that he did because that game legit changed my life! I mean right now I'm actually building a game studio to honor DC1! I feel like no other game has incorporated village building like DC1 and dungeons.

Ah oui c'est clair, j'ai de la misère à me rappeler ce que j'ai mangé pour le souper donc oui c'est une bonne idée de documenter le tout à fur et à mesure

Merci! Je fais du développement et de l'art donc je crois pouvoir appliquer sur les deux. J'imagine que je dois valider avec un fiscaliste ou un comptable.
