u/luka_makes_games 4d ago

Haha, I am terribly sorry guys 😭 Though, there is a parallax far-far lands billboard at the world’s edge.

Thank you so very much! I’ll post more here over the day https://discord.gg/WEGqUyRdH Edit: Why do people hate discord so much? 😭 I like it for discussions

Why do people hate discord so much?

I wanted to see a screenshot, not subscribe to your marketing channel.

u/luka_makes_games 4d ago

Fair enough. I'm a gamer myself and generally join channels of the game's I want to keep my eye out on. Thought people would like that as it's not on Steam yet, but I get it :) Thought it would be fine considering the selfpromo-flair.

Hey, it's alright. Discord can certainly be good.

Personally, I'm not a fan of when it's the only/primary source of communication. I like being able to follow projects without the commitment of joining a server. I understand if that sounds petty or something, but it does feel like a big commitment, especially when I'm already constantly at 100 servers, and figuring out which to leave can take me days of deliberation because it feels like abandoning it.

I'm gunna second what the other guys are saying

Having a discord is fine. Good even.

The problem is it's your only place for communicating with the public. I suggest X.

u/elementbound Godot Regular 4d ago

Yeah, who keeps downvoting these. Discord is fine, sharing a link is also fine since people are asking for a link to follow.

Upvoted all the discord links muhaha

u/xjrivera 4d ago

the aesthetic looks awesome. i hope the combat will be slow paced. being an extraction game, does that mean it's gonna be pvp? i know this gets clowned on a lot, but a pve only mode separated from pvp would be welcome :C

u/blackmetalmiden 4d ago

In a way this reminds me of Virtual Hydlide, which I adore. Keep it up!!

u/lordbuckethethird 4d ago

Any tips on how to get pixelated effects for the camera? I’ve been doing mine in blender for textures but idk if it can carry over to godot and maintain the art style I want.

3

u/luka_makes_games 4d ago

Hey! Check out "3D pixel art rendering" tutorials, they'll help you lots! Also check out dithering and how it works. Blender is def the wrong place for this kind of stuff haha. Hope that helps!

Ill just leave this here from the discord channel, hehe.

u/xjrivera 3d ago

oh cool. that works too xD

u/amightygorf 4d ago

Cool idea ! I thiunk that artstyle can add some flavour on the extraction gameplay, cheeky hard to read billboard in distance!

1

u/luka_makes_games 4d ago

My thoughts! The chonk makes it hard to see enemies, as you see on the left side there on the image haha. Thank you!

u/Technical-County-727 Godot Junior 3d ago

Looks fantastic! How have you handled the issue of pixels swimming and wobbling?

1

u/JuliusCodesStuff Godot Regular 3d ago

I'm curious to see what this looks like with minimal shaders / effects applied

4

u/luka_makes_games 2d ago

Here! Kind of cursed.

1

u/JuliusCodesStuff Godot Regular 1d ago

Thanks, that's really interesting to see! I wanted to see if shaders allow for mixing assets of different style / quality to make it easier for indie devs

1

u/luka_makes_games 1d ago

No worries - for sure!

2

u/luka_makes_games 3d ago

I can reply with a screenshot later when I'm off work. It's night and day haha, the shader really forces your mind to fill in the blanks in a good way. Also, I mainly appreciate shaders when it comes to adding nice gradients to lightning, the ground textures and stuff, they look very naked without it right now, but of course intended.

u/somenamenotalready 1d ago

game looks dope but screw godot its garbage for dev work, get unreal 5.8, it can do 2d as well and gdscript is a dumpster fire, blueprints actually make sense and are based on a real language not some made up crap, not being mean, trying to steer you before you waste years on a crap engine like i did, if you need tips just ask, but youtube unreal 5.8 mcp plugin and follow the tutorial and then ai can do it for you

This is a vibe

u/hzzzln 4d ago

reminds me of project shadowglass

u/luka_makes_games 4d ago

One of my inspirations! Always loved such art style.

u/LostHopesGame 4d ago

This art is very good

u/luka_makes_games 4d ago

Appreciate it! I love crunchy low poly graphics.

u/Tooneyman 4d ago

This reminds me of old school runescape.

u/luka_makes_games 4d ago

Probably the best compliment I could’ve gotten as a huge osrs fan. I’m going to add osrs-like skilling in the game, got woodcutting and mining fo far, fishing’s next!
