    Great video. Lots of fantastic resources! There are a lot of arguments over which program is best, especially with game engines, but like you touched on, it's all about familiarity and what you're comfortable with.

  • @TheBatmanMan1
    @TheBatmanMan1 Před 9 dny

    Something interesting I recently learned regarding the enemy and boss sprites during battles - apparently there’s a correlation between how much an enemy moves in battle and how much malice they have towards you. Enemies like Asriel and photoshop Flowey, move a ton during battle, and even Asgore, Undine, and Megaton move a lot. The only two enemies who are completely motionless are Toriel and Papyrus, as they actually have no true intent of doing you any harm.

    Step 1) choose my dream game among all the 37282848 dream games Step 2) Start to make it without going into the "oh no spaghetti code everywhere" Step 3) choose a new dream game because I did a mess with the previous one Step 4) avoid the step 2 ...

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Weirdo_Studios775bruh it’s not “an ad” - he quite clearly states that the engine you use doesn’t matter. In no way is the entire video an advertisement, the video applies to any engine, he just plugs it in one small section. @ButWhyLevin keep doing what you are doing.

    “Each frame, the bullets draw a ray cast between where it was and where it is last frame. The bullet draws a line cast between where it is now and where it was last frame. If that line cast, yes it’s a line cast, not a ray cast, hits anything, then it calls an event that destroys the bullet and creates particles. This also completely eliminates the need for bullets to have a collider at all, they just use ray cast.” So is it a ray cast or a line cast?

    more than anything, the artwork is very generic. the main cast have uninspired designs, the colors are plain and highly saturated, and theres no depth or antialiasing incorporated into the linework. ive also seen someone mention the apparent lack of detail in the environments, which should be addressed

    • @plzplzplzgimmedaza
      @plzplzplzgimmedaza Před 26 dny

      on top of that, you say that youre taking inspiration from the artwork used in persona 5 and celeste, but dont necessarily understand what makes that art direction work outside of just its visual appearance. persona 5’s plot heavily follows themes of rebellion and pushing back against a corrupt system, which is reflected in the ui’s sharp angles, strong reds contrasted against black and white, and just overall coolness factor. celeste, on the other hand, follows themes of overcoming personal barriers, showing instances of calm and relaxing areas to reflect the meditative nature of this journey as well as violent and chaotic moments that reflect the internal struggle. all this to say that you need to decide on a consistent theme for your game which various aspects of it, including the art direction, tie back to. you seem to be going for a beach or nautical theme, so id recommend expanding on that and making more direct ties to it

    One more argument for supernatural stuff existing in Omori is that if you visit the graveyard during one day left and talk to the guy there.
