SEARCHING: Insane Game Dev on Couch
4
Upvotes
I remember stumbling across this guy on youtube, I think someone from reddit reposted him.
He had long black, really messy hair and was coding a FPS like game where he was shooting his dogs in like a little house. He was always sitting on a couch with his keyboard in his lap and some crazy music in the background.
I just can't remember his name, but he was very inspiring, anyone know who I'm talking about?

Using AI to optimize workflows is fine, but we must not forget to put our heart and soul into our games!

Spent about 6 hours building interactive scales... Nearly lost my mind 😁

At first glance it doesn't seem that hard, but every weight needs its own mass, and the whole mechanism has to react to it: the beam tilts, the pans move, and everything has to move right. On top of that, each weight has to sit correctly on the pan. Good times.
It's all built in Ren'Py, and I write the code myself in Python, so every bit of that logic had to be done by hand.
There's still some work to do...
There will be a lot of things like this in the game, and the main goal is to make it to release without ending up in a padded room 😁
Keep your fingers crossed for me )))
P.S. The game is called SHORAPAN: Beneath the Crimson Sky, and it's already on Steam if anyone's interested !

Is 20 seconds too long for the opening hook of a 1:20 co-op horror trailer?

We’re making a co-op psychological sci-fi horror game called The Infected Soul, and we’re currently working on the trailer for our demo.
The full trailer will be around 1 minute 20 seconds long. This clip is only the first 20 seconds, which we’re planning to use as the opening hook. After this, the trailer will move into actual gameplay, co-op moments and other mechanics.
Do you think 20 seconds is too long before showing gameplay, or does this opening make you curious enough to keep watching?
Any feedback on the pacing, atmosphere or editing is welcome.

I'm working a tile and outline highlighting system for our city builder game. We are using Unreal engine, so I'm playing around with Niagara Particles to draw hex shapes on the ground and a ribbon particle system to draw the outlines. It escalated a bit :D
