Maybe I'll put the game on itch.io

SuperDoomKing brugh, no linux support?

SuperDoomKing

kuligs2
I will update the page to include linux.

I can at least confirm for you it can run on a steam deck.

kuligs2

in curious how did you determine the min/rec. requirements?

SuperDoomKing

kuligs2
I just copied some info from godot docs.
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/about/system_requirements.html
If it's not accurate, then do let me know.

SuperDoomKing idk, thats why im asking? 😃 I guess companies test on lots of hardware, but when you are one man band, its kinda hard to do that..

SuperDoomKing

kuligs2
Yep. As a one man team myself I can only rely on information I can find online.

kuligs2

SuperDoomKing need FPS counter to confim my rig is capable of running it, if steam deck runs it on 200FPS then my rig will too.

I notice your character got no blending between actions (eg. stand to jump / dash..etc) Is it by design?

I think it is an interesting game concept. When you are normal size the house seems normal but when you are tiny you find it is full of tiny little secrets. Remind me of an old game Blaster Master (but opposite, his pet grew). Here he finds secret invasion under his backyard.

Sort of. I always debugged and play tested the game with keyboard and mouse. With a keyboard I can only move 8 directionally, which made the character look very snappy. That inspired me to make the animation snappy to make it feel more intentional. It makes it look a bit weird when using a joy stick with 360 degrees of direction.

I like it this way, makes it feel more comic-y.
I have fought about limiting the directions to 16 or 8 for a even more snappy look, but I figured that would make platforming more tedious with such arbitrary limitation. Maybe I'll consider it for the next project.

I love the art style of this, the half-tone shading works great here. I love the main character's design too.

SuperDoomKing Since I made the gravity mechanic I have wanted to make a blatant space themed level.

Yes please. Every game can use a space level.

SuperDoomKing For making the music I use Fruity Loop Studio.
It's a very expensive tool, but really good.

I pirated a copy of FL Studio as a teen and had fun with it until it stopped working haha. Now I really like Reaper, it's pretty cheap but unlike FL Studio it doesn't have a lot of presets and instruments pre-installed so you have to go find and download some yourself.

SuperDoomKing

housatic Yes please. Every game can use a space level.

Funny now you mention, if this game does decent I was thinking of making a second 3d platformer that is more space themed and utilises the gravity mechanic more. This one only uses it in a few levels. I feel there are so many possibilities with this mechanic that I have yet to explore.

housatic Now I really like Reaper

Neat. I was introduced to fl many years ago by an old teacher, if I wasn't I certainly would've used free options like these.
It's nice to see so many cheaper and free alternatives for every tool out there.
I used to use photoshop and premier pro, but I got tired of adobe's overly expensive subscription service.
So I have moved on to other alternatives. For video editing I like davinci.
I use clipstudio for now as photoshop alternative, but I may move on from clip too.
And blender is goat.

I switched to Kdenlive for videos and Krita for graphics, which are both open source, though it did take a bit of time to get used to them :-) I remember a decade? ago when I needed to edit one video for school I spent a day just looking for software... It's really great how many affordable and free options we have now. And Blender <3

If you make the space game would you use a cartoon art style like you did here, or do something completely different?

SuperDoomKing

I will keep using a cartoony aesthetic, but I will do some shader experimentations. Maybe some gradients here and there could make object pop out more.
Also I am not sure yet if I will go for a space game. Part of me also wants to move away from 3d and do some 2d stuff.

housatic i am forcing myself to use foss software, and its great. BTW, you can do everything in blender - picture editing, video editing, modeling, and with some scripts, game development. (atleast in the past blender versions).

I havent tried mixing samples in blender, but im sure its not far from being achievable.

housatic

kuligs2 I know, I'm happy Blender is getting even more attention now that Flow won an oscar, we need to destroy the idea that you need pricy proprietary tools to make art :-)

I've been using a combination of Audacity, LMMS, and Reaper (not FOSS but very cheap) for sound and music, though I bet at least basic editing can be done in Blender too.
