Thank you for browsing our little corner of internet. As you may have noticed (or not, whatever), this forum has been pretty much crickets. Times change and technology ebbs and flows with trends.

During our feedback at the meetup there were a few voices that said it would probably be best for the commercial viability of a game to not aim to fit the "perfect" fit of "exactly the same as an old…

The fact is that the bulk of the work in getting a crowdfund to be successful is done WAY before a crowdfund starts. The work includes marketing (which isn't really a matter of spamming money blastin…

Join us! :)

Yeah @watman and @Enthused_Dragon that was an oversight for us who actually look at this enough and did do the jam. I'm not part of the SAGJ organisation but I definitely take some flak for having mi…

I've played Crypt of the Necrodancer a fair bit, and I must say I enjoyed it the most when I unlocked the mode where I don't have to match beats anymore, so yeah, that was ironic :p

Luftrauser has a 3 part soundtrack that sounds different depending on different parts that you put on your plane. It's a cool idea and the execution is cool, it doesn't make the music the star of the…

It's pretty clear that so many people buy games purely on how the characters look. "Prettier", better looking games routinely get tons of hype for nothing but looking good.

But the que…

Oh, oh, oh how can I forget [b]Outer Wilds[/b]??? Music and sounds are integral to the game, and yes was definitely one of the stars of the game. Not showing any videos or whatever because spoilers, …

Do... Music games count? [b]Beat Saber[/b], [b]DDR[/b], etc? That feels too easy and a cheat.

Do games with really good music/sound design count? Almost all the [b]Final Fantasies[/b] …

The styling and colour palette does seem more consistent, foreground with outline and background without seems to work here. Colours feel more upbeat, like Sonic-y, if that's what you're going for :)

Thanked by 1iamdavidnight
It looks cool :)

Controls do look pretty tight, though can't say without actually trying it myself. Placeholders look like placeholders and that's great, other bits look pretty.

Hi all! Technical snafu - the zoom room isn't working, so we'll be meeting up in Discord :) See ya'll now now :)

The length really isn't the problem. Don't make it longer. Make it communicate the hook. The point. Why would I want to play this game? It is definitely not something to be solved with "more words" o…

You might have heard of Wave Function Collapse (WFC) before, how it's an amazing thing for procedural generation. I've never understood it despite hearing about it here and there.

Hi all, the rules post had been woefully out of date. I've updated it with the most current info. Let me know if you see anything out of place. Ta!

The whole thing about sex appeal in game characters aren't that simple. There are multiple angles:
