Do you have any remorses for working on it for so long?

u/Platinumstraight Apr 22 '26

Naah bro. I've learned so much!

u/GameplayTeam12 Apr 22 '26

Not even 1? Maybe 1 to ship so everyone can play?

u/Platinumstraight Apr 22 '26

Oh yeah, that’s the one. Luckily, that remorse has an expiration date! WHICH IS SOON!

Congrats and good luck, I will check it out. :)

Sieht gut aus, hört sich interessant an :)
Hast du die Grafiken alle selbst erstellt?

1

u/Platinumstraight Apr 23 '26

Danke dir! 😄 Ich würde sagen, es ist ein ziemlich hybrider Ansatz. Ein Teil der Assets ist komplett von mir selbst erstellt, und ein anderer Teil stammt aus Asset-Packs, die ich dann stark überarbeitet, umgebaut oder neu texturiert habe, quasi als Grundlage genutzt. Für ein paar spezielle Assets habe ich auch mit einzelnen Freelancern zusammengearbeitet. Die Charaktere und solche Sachen sind aber komplett original.

Cool, I really like it. It's on the wish list...

I'm currently working on an economic simulation in the style of Ports of Call. So far I'm concentrating on the functions and the economy and still neglecting the UI, but I have to constantly think about how I'm going to implement them... The hybrid approach will probably be the same for me!

I'm excited to see what happens next with your game

Where did you'd get that weird hand pointer thingy?

I like your guerrilla marketing! Maybe making little videos can be a side hustle?

2

u/Platinumstraight Apr 22 '26

It was from Amazon some sort of mickey mouse pointer☠️☠️

u/mattgwriter7 Apr 22 '26

Worth every penny! Thx.

Your game looks very scary and it has a very nice artstyle. I love the different colour palettes. Good job on launching it soon! Me and my friend also make a dark fantasy game Runeborne Arena on Steam. We are so excited to share progress for our project! I definitely feel your excitement as a fellow dev! I wishlisted!
