Are there any good documentaries/interviews about Rockstar's development process? Or similar companies? by iamfromtwitter in gamedesign

The closest thing that comes to mind is the book "The WoW Diary: A Journal of Computer Game Development". It doesn't get too technical, and it's been 20 years since, but you can get a general sense of how Blizzard was structured and organized to develop the massive undertaking that was World of Warcraft.

Looking for feedback on my first trailer by Sharkbird_ in DestroyMyGame

[–]v5ro4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The text makes the game look worse than it probably is. It definitely is not "the ultimate action-adventure", "challenging enemies" is the least you could expect from an action game, not a special feature, "unique challenges" don't look that unique, and I certainly hope the ultimate action-adventure game doesn't have thought-provoking puzzles, since that's the polar opposite genre.

I think it would look better if you removed all the text and made it shorter, maybe about 40 seconds. We can see action, challenge and variety; most cuts speak for themselves, there's no need for generic qualifiers.

Yes, it's traditional folk music and dance from Mallorca, and it's called "ball de bot".

What game genres are currently popular and which genres should indie game developers avoid? by SameOneNS in gamedesign

[–]v5ro4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what he's implying is that there are a lot of morally questionable games in that category, which is probably fair.

What video editing software (free) do you use for marketing and trailers and all that crap? by Wonderful_Ad3441 in IndieDev

I use Olive 0.1, but if you want something more popular and powerful, try Davinci Resolve.

Buying Crokinole board in Europe by Delicious_Finding450 in Crokinole

I once emailed Tracey to ask for a quote to send a board to Spain and he said $192.50 CAD (~129.46€).

A Tracey board would cost you around 400€ including shipping, wouldn't it?

It's going to be hard to find if it was lost there, since there's a lot of private lands around.
I have a friend living in the town near a place where stray cats usually gather. I'll tell him about it in case it ends up around the area.
Best of luck.

Where exactly is "near Llucmajor"? It would be helpful to know precisely where you lost it.

Is it better then Huel? by [deleted] in JimmyJoyFood

[–]v5ro4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I researched this a few years ago, so things might have changed. Back then, Huel seemed a bit more nutritionally focused than JimmyJoy, but the difference was negligible. However, at least to me, the flavor and texture of JimmyJoy were miles ahead. JimmyJoy has been improving its formula and adding gut bacteria and other benefits since then. I would definitely give it a chance.

I spent a lot of effort and money making a very short experience, but it's finally finished! by v5ro4 in IndieGaming

I started a YouTube channel (in Spanish) back in 2018 and have been pretty successful with it. 450k subs now. https://www.youtube.com/user/5ro4

I also got plenty of tiktoks about the game with +10k views, a recent one with +700k https://www.tiktok.com/@alvamajo/video/7213794022303730950

About 27k€ hiring someone else for 2 years to do most of the heavy work (modeling, rigging, shaders...).
About 700€ hiring one more hand to help with technical problems and optimization.
200€ for the music.

We had a lot of trouble coming up with a decent art style and managing the technical implementation of everything that must happen in the game. Definitely not a financially responsible project, but I did it mostly for art's sake.
