Insert Disk 2/9. Finally a reason to collect them all
Breaks are important! Why not spend it with not developing on it but just showing it to others or make something different like a promo video with an old PC, real floppies and paper where needed? I could imagine something like crate digging through floppy discs until you find a bunch that says “secret game” (or something better) back at home undust an old 286 desktop PC like I had back then, start it, insert the first floppy and the game starts and asks you to insert disk 2.
PS: I’d put every game element on a floppy disk, from UI elements (leaderboard) to weapons and enemies and of course the 10-disk hexeditor that allows the player to mess with player and enemy stats.
Seems fun but I wish I can do it…
I Don’t have an PC from the 90s and I can try it in 3D or just animate it in pixel art. Well,my 3D skills are not great.the greatest 3d model i ever made is my profile pic…
That just sounds FUN!!!
I don’t know can I even sell my game in Itch.io (LoL) physical copies are farrrr way.
Or I can put 7 different files, like custom files,That the player have to insert in the main game.
Thanks for your valuable advice : D
and I will try showcase it on Reddit when my game is at a playable stage!
Cut, glue and paint it from a cardboard box just to see if that idea for a promo video works and gives you some motivation for the next development cycle. Maybe you can find a retro computer collector or club near you once you do the video again for a more polished and coherent look.
Do you have the number of Floppy-Disk-Dealer-disguised-as-a-pizza-delivery-guy on your phone? He can get you all sorts of weapons on floppy disks.
Nahhh I am also not a good cinematographer / phonographer.But I will absolutely try making a 3D
promo video!(Just a video of inserting floppy disks and the name poping on screen)
And I will try to make a playable demo, however is it good or bad just a demo for everyone to try.
Just downloaded a godot plane plugin and having fun experementing lol.
Thanks ! but for now I am good with my boeing 737 flying over a sea made of csg box
Nahhh ,my stone does not support Valkun and glow is not even available in compatibality(Maybe other versions does but my laptops sounds like rocket if I open any Godot version after 4.0).Also I don’t think that would be needed for now maybe…
(That actually looks cool tho)
For now I will stick with Godot 3.6
Unfortunately, it looks exactly the same as the original art. What might look cool is a desktop wallpaper that periodically changes..
Try to think about why the art looks roughly the same and perhaps improve it.
hmmmm ,tried Godot 4.3 and the glow is worse then Godot 3.6 .And I was soo much excited I somehow messed up and lost all project files…
well I only have the project structure in the github.
Cooked…
The IK is good but very buggy and I am surprised a lot of phage is on screen but it’s still running on 90 fps! And sorry if it makes you uncomfortable…
And I will to fix these jagged lines as soon as possible!
My Potato can’t handle,an average computer nowdays is like 6 times powerful then my PoTaTooo
Sooo I think you should get around 400+ fps with 100s of phage chasing around!
Yeah I am trying.just gotta fix the ik a bit give them some knowledge and adding some juicy weapons!
Soo it should be playable by the 22th of september!
Okay soo,I don’t think so my game is actually fun anymore or maybe it’s fun to play and I can’t feel soo what am I going to do is just upload a demo with no floppies just a gun and retro computer and bad bois
Only one chapter maybe 10~15 minutes of gameplay.
Some times it strikes me that a simple email cookie clicker got top spot on itch.io! While good games like Wombo by @ComicallyUnfunny and a lots of games are just lying in the bottom? People never liked good games.
