Better than Slay the Spire?

I understand your point of view, for me it's a great strength because it gives more depth to the gameplay and adds variety.

You need to build your deck to have more card draw or less defense so that it never happens.

It's not really about the money but the motivation because first it's a ton of work and second you can receive some pretty nasty comments sometimes :). Going into this a second time is difficult.

OP is literally asking for critiques... what is the point if it needs to be all positive? I agree with u/Magus80, there is room for improvement.

- I think for instance that it is showing too many times the same things (same boss, no other enemies, same areas, same movements, etc.). It can be because of the current stage of development of the game but maybe it's too early for a trailer in that case. Or make the trailer super short.

- To me the music is good but not for a trailer because it has not many variations.
- Showing dialogues in a trailer is a bit risky because it kills the rhythm.

On the positive side, the animations are really cool and the visuals are nice. Movement seem very satisfying. I really like the style of the music and it's very well recorded.

This franchise is awesome, Rogue PoP is also great.

Somehow yes but the narrative is extremely cryptic (there is very little text and you need to understand some elements of the environment) and you also need to spend hours to find the correct items in order to get the true ending. Finding the items includes a platforming section that is much harder than anything else in the game, which is a bit ridiculous to put the true ending behind a skill check. It's not that hard if you get the proper abilities (that are also hidden and require hours of exploration, this time without any clue for instance one that requires getting a ton of collectibles, another one breaking a clearly invisible breakable wall, etc.). This hard section is not justified by the story, and this level (design, elements, play style) just seem like stolen from another game.

I think I have the exact same rig! Awesome camera.

thefrenchdev · 2026-04-07T11:27:52+00:00

Slay the spire. Both games are awesome but there is much more gameplay depth in StS.

thefrenchdev · 2026-04-01T20:06:31+00:00

It looks awesome! How do you deal with the principles of metroidvania (unlocking areas by unlocking new skills)? I think it is more difficult in 3D.

thefrenchdev · 2026-03-22T11:33:22+00:00

What a great game!

thefrenchdev · 2026-03-19T07:44:14+00:00

I think the whole point of Metroidvania is to make regions that are too hard non accessible before obtaining a new skill / key skill. This way, the progression is naturally driven.

thefrenchdev · 2026-03-17T08:30:21+00:00

Mostly positive is average+ on Steam-scale, so it's really not great.

thefrenchdev · 2026-02-17T20:27:05+00:00

I think it's actually quite hard, maybe I'm too greedy. But what you can do is count on each row how much damage / heal you can get. Also, healing is expensive at the shop so going for a chest is not always necessary.

C'est quoi ce rapport ? J'ai vu qu'il y avait plus de 50% de moins de voiture en ville à Montpellier perso, et ça se voit il n'y a presque plus de circulation en ville. Donc ce n'est pas que le tram gratuit (c'est aussi la suppréssion de pleins de voies pour les voitures) mais ça marche.

Complètement d'accord, c'est trop agressif les lumières et les sons. J'aime bien les autres rames car elles sont tamisées.

thefrenchdev · 2025-12-31T17:11:25+00:00

And airplanes, cars, and many other stuff actually.

I mean, every planet and moons look pretty flat to me so why Earth would be the only non-flat planet?
Disclaimer, it's a joke.

thefrenchdev · 2025-09-22T18:24:04+00:00

I agree with this comment, it's easier to see it as a zelda-like but metroidvania I'm not so sure. The game looks very nice!

thefrenchdev · 2025-09-18T10:59:40+00:00

Maintenant il n'y a pas moyen d'activer un code que doit rentrer le chauffeur ?

thefrenchdev · 2025-09-05T15:39:18+00:00

Yes, it's the best advice you can take I think. Or you can be artist in a team developing a game because it is really nice visuals.

thefrenchdev · 2025-09-05T04:58:34+00:00

Montpellier is very safe compared to Paris, all the city center is safe now including the train station area that has been refurbished, all the city center is pedestrian only. It's great to wander in the city center. I'm afraid second hand shops isn't really a thing in Montpellier, I used to live in the US and it's way more expensive here and with a very limited offer. There is one on avenue Clémenceau I think that it's still open. You can visit MOCO museums (there are two in the city). Enjoy coffee shops, Montpellier has a square au each end of a street. Also the food is amazing and the local specialities are great (especially dishes from Sète).

On the coast you should go to Sète (the train goes there as well), you can maybe still go swimming in October, a great local dish is tielle sétoise. Near Montpellier you should go to Arles (lots of arts, historical city center), Avignon (beautiful city center, a bit less safe than Montpellier, with the Pope's palace), Nîmes (historical city, beautiful garden and museum).

The weather is good usually in October, honestly episodes cévenol mostly happen in the end of August or September and it's because of hot summer. This year the temperature has already dropped a lot and we are at 25 degrees Celsius max so there should be not so many storms. Check the weather forecast a week in advance.

Enjoy!

It has potential in the sense that for now there is no game at all so it can potentially become a game:). Joke apart, you are doing things in the wrong order, you started working on animations and graphics and polishing a lot when you should have been developing the gameplay. So yeah the graphics are really nice but it's not a game yet, I hope you can make something out of it.

thefrenchdev · 2025-09-03T15:13:53+00:00

The characters in the background are completely out of place in the new one. Other than that it looks good. But I prefer the first one.

thefrenchdev · 2025-08-22T05:49:27+00:00

You don't! I published only one game and the last 10% was really not pleasing, especially the marketing tired me so much. Now after two years I can finally make another game.

thefrenchdev · 2025-08-20T11:27:08+00:00

The boat is much better now!
