What are you working on?

Nothing worth mentioning.

nude beach simulator?

[Legend]

palms for daaaaaays!  Still working on my game

Do you have planar or screen space reflections? At that angle I'd expect the palm trees would be fairly visible reflecting in the water.

I love the leaf shader. Looks great when illuminated from behind.

Heh yeah will reveal more in due time.  So far I'm aiming for august/September release. But we shall see

Nice! Do you have a final name?

nude beach simulator?

If his game has a first person floating camera, maybe the player character is naked the whole time...

Nothing worth mentioning.

Well it's worth mentioning in my opinion!

All game projects are cool, regardless of scope or stage of development.

Yep.  I'll just go ahead and announce.  Called DiForm Saga: Awakening

The DiForms are a ancient intelligent species that are in a cryo stasis and the main character is basically doing a sort of test in order to learn more about them and to awaken them.  Hence the name.

you all are the first besides 1 of my friends that knows the name

I AGREE!

oh and yes legend i have screen space reflections right now.  Its the best looking as of now. I have yet to try out planar reflections in this project.

I do have my steam fee paid and working on my store page, have about 22 steam achievements created, working on full functionality and trying to finalize some designs so i can push forward on the polish and release stage.  I'm not trying to create some really unique and super duper gameplay or anything.  Its a fairly basic game in what the player can and has to do but i'm more just trying to establish a world/lore so if i can continue with more games with a bigger team then i have the basis built.

My stuff is too early to talk about.

I have a top down RPG that is early in the works.

And considering a smaller 1-3 month project to just get out the door.

Oh look you forgot to buy the domain name!

https://diformsaga.com


Anyway haha if the name is a Myst callback for the D'ni, I love it.

Sweat on steam. I know you'll hear this from everyone and I myself am ignoring it, but try to publish the steam page as soon as possible. You'll start getting wishlists and you can build a community before launch.

How long do you reckon the game is?

Heh you won't get a cent from me.  But actually you just made me remember to buy it. lol

Unfortunately it is not a callback to D'ni, heheh.  But if you want it to be then it is.  

And yeah i want the steam page up within a month.  I'm also going to try for some funding on indiegogo and launch that campaign in a couple weeks.  Not sure if it will get me anything but i going to try for something at least.   Trying to just get better at marketing.  I post on my personal page and have other social media set up for my studio, but just need to post more and engage more.

I really also want to begin some sort of podcasts or video series for instagram or something.  get myself, the game, and studio put out there more.  I just absolutely do not want to record myself.  I just need to do so I will start to get use to it.

So far i'm really expecting maybe 3ish to 5ish hours maybe.  The level itself is fairly decent size so it takes a bit to get around. Its kind of a smallish island.  I'm sure people will see inspiration coming from uncharted 4's first island.  Just not as elaborate.

$1 billion more from Sony, $1 billion more from the Lego peoplehttps://t.co/XP2g6aedbJ

I think Sony owns ~5.1% of Epic Games' shares.

It's kind of crazy to me how this is one of Sony's biggest investments ever. And yet it feels like it doesn't really change anything.

there is a thread about fez being 10 years old on era.   such a good game.  such a good soundtrack.

I just learned that Tunic is from one of the FEZ programmers and has a lot of puzzles.

Sweet! New game to keep on my backlog for 5 years.
