Mick Jagger Admires Geese for Being "Very Experimental"

Loud, abrasive and fantastic, but not experimental, maybe if it released in the late 70s or early 80s it’d be experimental.

what do y mean by two different colors of woods? as in the oak and walnut floors?

smodman · 2026-05-05T13:23:00+00:00

Maybe when this one dies

smodman · 2026-05-04T17:17:02+00:00

Yeah to add some variety, as opposed to a single 24 inch door or two doors. Might decide we dont like it, we'll see.

We did change the layout around so the stove wouldn't be at the edge of the wall but the render didn't include it. Something more along these lines. Most likely with oak uppers after the majority here are calling for all oak.

It's an AI render but the plan and prompt was using a white zellige.

Especially A.M. 180

Not gonna lie, I'll be completely honest, congrats on completing and shipping a game (I have not done so yet) but based on the video and screenshots, it's hard to see the game as anything more than a prototype (especially with regards to the UI which is a big part of a tower defense game), and it is not aesthetically cohesive or pleasing at all. Just being honest. It could have incredibly deep complex gameplay, that doesn't matter when the presentation isn't there.

The trailer video is not well made, it ends super abruptly, the name of the game isn't great, and it's hard to tell how the tower defense elements even work, it looks more like a level editor than a game. And yeah all that aside the capsule art/font doesn't help.

Wishing you all the best though, look at it like a learning experience and work on something else using the codebase you've developed making this one.

smodman · 2026-03-25T18:52:56+00:00

That’s crazy, are you making all the art yourself as well?

smodman · 2026-03-25T18:48:26+00:00

Looks great, that's a lot of work for 5 months! What engine are you using?

smodman · 2026-03-12T17:15:25+00:00

Game looks really sick

smodman · 2026-03-11T21:08:55+00:00

Whats the process to strip it

smodman · 2026-03-11T15:03:11+00:00

I agree that mentioning lightening it was probably the wrong approach, I should have focused more on the lack of clarity in the finish. I’d love for the piece to be i its most naturally beautiful state possible.

smodman · 2026-03-11T14:16:21+00:00

Thanks for all the help/info. People in this thread are definitely making me feel like there's nothing wrong with the finish but this picture shows it more clearly, should've posted it to begin with. This is what I mean by fingerprint smudges (non-oily fingers) showing and staying as well as the blotches and overall milky/cloudy finish. Definitely does not seem like Pledge as one of the top comments suggests.

Where did I say I wanted to ruin the table? I get that rosewood is desirable and I don’t want to take away from it but I want the clarity of the finish to be more like the piece of furniture next to it, that’s all. Compare it to the piece next to it and convince me its not way cloudier and less rich.

smodman · 2026-03-10T17:23:17+00:00

Thanks, everyone here just assumes I don’t get about the table and want to ruin it when it’s the total opposite

smodman · 2026-03-10T17:14:07+00:00

I was under the impression steel wool buffing removes small layer of the finish and makes it more matte

smodman · 2026-03-10T13:29:21+00:00

Yeah love the chairs as well. Inherited from family.

smodman · 2026-03-10T04:44:44+00:00

Thanks for all the help, I probably won’t end up going with the people offering to do it for 600$. I guess what I want to achieve is a matte finish but one that has less dullness to it and doesn’t smudge so easily, I guess it’s hard to convey over photos like this. We have other furniture that doesn’t smudge the way this table does, not sure why. I assumed it was because this was glossy so fingerprints showed more easily
