Funny paragraph you can ignore:
This game is a a casual cozy lizard game like animal crossing or a short hike. A remake from Godot. It's a first person indie game like minecraft or MINECRAFT that I didn't make in 24 hours or in one month or 1 MONTH. It's made in Unity the engine which made among us (AMONG US) and fall guys and escape from tarkov, which is also used by youtubers like Dani who make DEVLOG. It doesn't use Unreal Engine.

    • @nivmiz0
      @nivmiz0 16 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Its actually super simple! I'm not sure how to implement it in Unreal Engine, but all you have to do is render the camera output to a low resolution texture, then render that texture to the screen somehow. Look up "Unreal Engine pixelation filter" and I'm sure you'll find something!

    But what's the obstacle to overcome to be able to see the sunset? Do you need to find and eat bugs? Do you need to survive against a hazard or predators? Maybe what's missing is not a final goal but a clear problem for the player to resolve.

    cool game! I suggest adding a frillneck feature to the lizard, which could be used as a means of getting other animals to cooperate through fear rather than compassion. Or if another animal trying to eat the lizard, you could scare it away by showing the frill. just a suggestion tho. Another suggestion is to maybe add ectothermic requirements. Perhaps spending too much time in a cool environment such as in the shade could kill the lizard. just a suggestion tho. Cool game!

    IMO, story is *not* important to a game. What is important, is that it's fun to play. Games like chess, football, poker, tag, beer pong, etc; don't have a story. They are purely gameplay. Story is simply not needed to make a game. and Story is actively detrimental to making a game re-playable. What makes a game fun to play is subjective. For myself, I like a game that allows me to make choices, and have control over those choices. *Even if they're bad choices.* In chess, I can choose to sacrifice my queen. in football, I can choose to allow the ball to go out of bounds. In poker, I can fold a royal flush. In beer pong, I can choose to miss. When games start to focus on story over gameplay, they will inevitably lock gameplay behind story progression. At this point, I'd rather read a book than bother with a game that restricts my gameplay. TL;DR: Games don't need story. Games need to be fun.

    • @nivmiz0
      @nivmiz0 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That's a perfectly valid opinion! I think there's absolutely room for both types of games: those completely devoid of story & those that focus on it more. For this game, I definitely have a story in mind, but that story is more to give structure to the experience than to limit your choices: as a matter of fact, I really hope to make this game as open as possible. I think when used correctly, a story can just bring an experience together like nothing else. Rest assured this doesn't mean I won't focus on gameplay/fun though!

    I think the sea turtle could be named Logger, since a real world animal is a Loggerhead Sea Turtle, Also, the tortoise should be able move on something like rough terrain, which the others have trouble crossing at their normal speed.

    Isn't the default way to make moving platforms work nowadays to just have the character parented to whatever object they are standing on?

    • @nivmiz0
      @nivmiz0 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Well, if you're working in a game engine, parenting can absolutely work, but I'm generally against it as a solution for commercial games. Dynamically changing parents can very easily lead to unexpected behavior when you have a ton of different platforms/platform types, and it can be hard to track down what the problem is. Also, under the hood, parenting is sort of just doing the direct movement approach, applying all the translations and rotations that the parent has. TLDR: I don't like it for bigger game projects, but it's totally a valid solution!
