This game is really interesting. I love the aesthetic, the concept, and the story. I've done game design and lore writing, & I've worked on games such as Kanpeki & The Forest I.

The game is pretty obtuse, and very little is explained to the player. Combat is very slow and passive, similar to the souls games. The graphics are pretty well set up, but the frame rate suffers and the assets used feel a bit wonky. The levels are very well designed and fun to navigate, with plenty of cover and stealth options. The ammo system feels unnecessary, considering the games focus on quickly firing, running, and reloading. The game has some serious bug issues, and at one point I was warped into an empty room with a single, invincible enemy inside. The 2D art is stunning, and I wish the game had more in that style.

I would remove the ammo system, add in some frame rate optimizations (namely culling, LoD, baked-in lighting, & chunking), and get a 3D modeler to help with the models. I'd use Unity's built-in raytracing bake-in system to give the game AAA looking graphics without performance costs, and then put a simple shadow-casting system on top of that for dynamic lighting. I'd also move character dialogue from text bubbles (where it's hard to read) to the bottom of the screen, as well as an indicator (either "Name:," colour-coding, a graphical indicator, or voice acting to make clear who's speaking)

Beyond more surface-level changes like that, I'd really try to lean in on either fast-paced aggressive combat, or slow, stealthy systems. I'd completely do away with ammunition, and focus on a more seamless gameplay experience. I'd probably make the game a 3D Metroidvania-Lite (such as the Dark Souls Game) with the story missions accessible through a menu of some sort that would place a beacon their in-game. I would, however, discourage the addition of features such as mini-maps, quest lines, or the like–-as they could detract from the immersive experience the game is trying to provide.

I think this game, idea, story, world, & style all have great potential. You're clearly a pretty skilled developer to be able to put something like this together in just two weeks. I shudder to imagine what a developer like you could achieve in a few months.

I would get a game designer, and a 3D modeler or two together (maybe something like RevShare to avoid overhead costs) and add in voice acting with something like voicelabs or descript (which are pretty cheap & easy to use). Then, I'd follow a few tutorials (you can find them online) to bring the graphics to the next level and optimize for a better frame rate.

Best of luck with future projects! I'll follow this game in case you decide you want to keep developing it further!

I loue this game! Great gameplay & mechanics, absurd amounts of content, and a massiue uniuerse. It could use some people on art & music, but the gameplay, programming, and optimisation are incredible. I wish there were more players and maybe a public server, because I can't find other people who play this. I don't use discord, but I've been told that most of the players congregate there.

I tried scratch out, and I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the interface & UX are amazing, and the way scripts work is very inuitive (though I'd have preferred to have a simple way to write them, since searching for blocks is kind of annoying), but on the other hand, sprites don't have folders, animation is a pain, and good luck hacking together 3D with that framerate. Also, you have to use external programmes to compile to anything usable.

I'm using a 2017 MacBook running MacOS Monterey 12.1 with 1.2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core (M3) and Intel HD Graphics.

I love this game! It's clearly smartly made, and it's pretty stable for an alpha game. I love the mechanics, and I'm excited to see it being updated. The Mac version (which I play on) is really badly optimized, but it's impressive one exists. The car mechanics are a bit floaty and strange, but it's otherwise without any design level flaws. I'm aware that there is a way to get and use healing items, but I still haven't figured it out yet. I've been playing for like a month now, and I'm trying to recommend it to people searching for an awesome indie game. I hope to see this fleshed out more as time goes on!

Okay. I'll keep watching the game in case I get the windows working again.

I'm a Mac user, and I'm interested in the game. Is a Mac client planned?

Could you add a Mac version? I'd love to try the game :)

Hi! Since this is unity, could you please export to mac? I don't own a windows.

I need a voice actor. Here's the contract. Please provide a portfolio and email.

Project codename fight.room will be a simple action RPG with two AI creatures (Zombie/Adventurer) to fight/trade with. Combat will be simple slashes-and-stabs hack-and-slash with three weapons (sword, pickaxe, axe). The in-game world will be procedurally generated with few features (huts, trees, rocks, grass).
Each of these features will be destructible and give the player items (Seeds, Rice, Wood, Stone, Sticks, Swords, Pickaxes, Axes, Plows, Fences, Barricades, Tents, Rice Cakes, Bones, Fertilizer).
The most interesting features of the game are the destructible environment, crafting, combat, and AI chat. The "Adventurer" is a creature that looks like the player and can be encountered randomly across the world. You can throw items at it, and it will return a random item of equal value. This creature will use an external AI chat protocol to give the illusion of multiplayer.
The game will be developed with code-based (actual) multiplayer support.
The above includes every feature, item, weapon, and creature planned for the final game. Each list is exhaustive and nothing has been forgotten. This is the plan for the 1.0 release of the game. Each member's responsibilities and RevShare* will be listed below:
Voxel Artist [EDIT: Austin Alacantara, user austinagraphics@gmail.com]: Player skin with animations x5, Creature with animations x2, Inventory items x15, Hut Varieties x4 (Facing Backward, Facing Forward, Facing Left, Facing Right), Tree varieties x6, Rock varieties x3, Grass/Flower varieties x12, Rice growing stages x3 (New, Half, Ripe), Dropped Items x15, Tool with animations x4, Fence varieties x6 (Top Left Corner, Top Right Corner, Bottom Left Corner, Bottom Right Corner, Backward to Forward, Left to Right), Barricade varieties x6 (Same as fences), Tent varieties x4 (same as Hut) and will recieve 15%

I'm sorry but I already have a Sound Designer. I'm sorry. Good luck finding another project! (I saw a few interesting ones on LFS)

Hi! I'm offering 5% RevShare (and credits, which is generally assumed but IDK how it works for translators) for help translating from English to Portugese & Simplified Mandarin. The project is at madfun.chanty.com and all we need to get you registered is a portfolio, an email, and a response on a Chanty thread for the contract.

Okay. Go to madfun.chanty.com and respond to the thread "Expectations & Compensation" with anything.

That's fine. Just send your email and I'll send you the contract (it's like two pages). Once you agree, we can get started! I've got everybody else in, so we'll be able to get going once you send your email (junk email works).

I'm working on an ARPG and currently we're planning Voxel art but the stages are early enough we can switch to anime-style. I can't use discord, but I'm offering 10% RevShare.

This should be tagged "LFS"

Hi! I'm a game developer working on an isometric ARPG. If you're interested, you can message me here or send me your email so we can talk on Chanty (madfun.chanty.com) (junk email is fine).

I'm looking for an animator for my project I·N·V·A·S·I·O·N, offering 40% of the revenue to all animators, split evenly. I need enough to get an episode done in a month (that's a lot, IK), so how many do you think that would be? Would you be interested? I can send you some of the songs (I'm the screenwriter/composer/story writer/promo artist/manager) and an overview of the Pilot (the script is done, but I'm not publishing it until we've slapped together an NDA). The episodes will be 17 pages (minutes), plus an intro & outro which will change every season (assuming it succeeds well enough we agree that another season would be profitable). I don't care about the poses and stuff as long as it looks decent. The art style is somewhere between Sword Art Online (call me basic) and Batman (the 1990s animated series).
