      I know you probably won't go for it, but could you do a tutorial series on a 3d platformer in unity? I really want to make a mario odyssey like game with an emphasis on movement!

    The particle effect is great for the rolling, but for the running it indicates too much speed. It's as if a weak punch in a movie creates a huge boom. Or you gently push your sibling and they act like you just tried to murder them.

    I’m gonna put this here again in hopes you’ll see it!
    Hey I just found this set of devlogs today, and I just wanna say I hope I can learn from you. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but I’ve dreamt of making a game for 5-6 years now, and I’m working on going to college for it, but watching these shows me I might be able to make my dream come true myself~ so thanks so much for showing all this off, it was literally exactly what I needed! I still don’t exactly know how to go about it but now I know it is possible. Though I wish I could get some experience helping with something like this, I don’t have any experience at all and barely any knowledge of it from college. Good luck and I can’t wait to see what becomes of it! I’ll be watching!
    Also, new update on my comment on the last video, I’m learning (or at least trying to learn) unity because of these videos here, showing that making a game you’ve dreamed of is possible!
    Also I plan to play this game when you’re fully done with it so please don’t show us all the hidden lore and Easter eggs! :3

  • @awogbob
    @awogbob Před 3 lety

    great project man, I follow lots of indie projects but your prioritizes what I connect most too in great games as a gamer. Wonderful animation and expressive 'analog' movement. Great direction. I wish you all the succcess and support to see this project through as I believe it could be something truly special. What is your background other than the other game you made as it seems you have tons of polish and a healthy work ethic / planning ability that sets you up for success on your projects.
    PS. In your Devlog 3 you were asking for challenges, not sure if youre still into it but you should do the POUNDLAND Challenge: Go to poundland with 20 quid, buy as MUCH food and drink as possible (quantity over anything else), finally see if you can finish it all in 30 mins. Cheers

    Idea for the character switching feature: You can put like markings or microchips on 3 other entities at once and by pressing a button on your keyboard or controller you switch to the next character in order of how you marked/chipped them. This could be a really cool puzzle mechanic. But it's also something that should be unlocked late in the game.
