I lost a project once when updating too ㅠㅠ (in Unity). I like how it's not too dark in the night time scenes. Many Horror indie game are too dark and can't see anything hehe. Keep it up :D

This looks pretty cool. Hope the rewrite goes well and makes things easier down the line for engine updates and other game develop-y things!

No pause to sear??? Your missing how that's how you crisp her up

I'm a Gander (from Michigan for those who don't know), however I always preferred Canada Dry or Schweppes, Vernors is too sweet for me.

The Kei Truck looks super fun. Wonder how well it drifts.

I like this. Just raw gameitude for it's own sake. Keep going.

Are you open for some suggestions regarding further features? Because I would love for this game to have an option for customizing the vehicle, like- you know- expanding the pickup bed size, changing the dampers, maybe adding cargo trailers, etc. Since you spend the vast majority of time driving your vehicle in this game, such thing would add so much on top of the experience.

Wow, looks like this game is shaping up nicely. I'm impressed!

In my opinion, Vernors is too sweet, and Canada Dry is kinda bitter. I like Schweppes better than those two, but Seagram's was my favorite when I compared these four easy-to-find brands a few years ago. Apparently Seagram's changed their formulation in 2022, and I've been meaning to try it out again and see what I think of it now.

I didn't know I needed this video

I love them 😊

Shawn Rhymes here. I'm not impressed. The fact that it reads "ale" would indicate that it's an alcoholic beverage. It's not an ale, it's a soda!!!

Vernor's is good just very, very robust!

not sure what this game is about, but your effort's not gone unnoticed. All the best luck to your project g!

I feel like the boom mic shouldn't be directly in the center

This looks awesome. Can’t wait to see more❤️❤️

Thanks for the review. My store is out of my favorite flavored water Clearly Canadian and I been looking for the next best thing and so far I've just wasted money on shit that wasn't even close to tasting like Clearly Canadian like I read online....So I'm going to try this one. 🎉

Saw your stuff from a ginger ale vid, your stuff has passion keep it up!

I can't believe this is from 11 years ago it could have been filmed yesterday

They have Tahitian Treat in Alabama

I hope I'm not the only one who hears "Boom Operator" sung to the tune of "Smooth Operator" every time Steve uploads a new devlog...

Steve's Soft Drink Shack, This is amazing! I subscribed right away!

From a fellow food enthusiast. It was wonderful to dive into one of my favorite soft drinks.

What rotisserie model is this one?

Looks dope

Love thismdrink

Also an idea for how to deal with obstacles! The PUBG method! Have a button to basically unlock the camera from movement, kind of like turning your head when actually operating a boom. Makes it so you have ro juggle boom placement with "map knowledge" (for a lack of a better word). Legit a skill I had to learn while boom opping

It's surreal to see someone take what i did in college and turn it into a video game

First person would also allow for varying heights of the target. Maybe one level would have you on a different height from the actor, for example a scene where they ride and escalator. I left a comment on the previous video mentioning how VR also addresses the depth perception problem. It also would have an added benefit regarding the problem you mentioned here, of being able to aim hold the boom and look about independently, helping to avoid obstacles whilst keeping the boom in your periphery. You could probably achieve a similar result in non-VR first person, by having a way to decouple the mic and your view, similar to in "PowerWash Simulator" you can lock the camera and have the mouse just control the jet, until it reaches the edge of your screen and starts to turn your view with it. Granted this is a more dynamic game so that would be quite a challenge to get feeling right, but yeah, I think there's potential there. Oh also I think for a VR mode, you could really lean into the physicality of things, like "Boneworks", have the arm and your arms physically collide with the environment, have stupidly stacked physics objects to knock over and ruin the shot, all kinds of things lol. Edit: also to add, for flat first person, more developed indicators would probably go a long way to helping with depth perception. A vertical line to the ground to project a representation of the top-down indicators most notably.

@1:55 I don't understand what the problem is. Clearly you are not trying to do dynamic lighting/shadow casting, you could of coarse do that. So what is the goal?

What a hilariously creative idea for a game! Excited to see where this goes

May i suggest using the scroll wheel to adjust your movement speed? That way you could fine tune your speed based on camera movement. You could also use scroll wheel to raise/lower the boom

The premise of this is great. Some (unsolicited) thoughts: 1) I recommend leaning into things-going-wrong fun - look at Trombone Champ 2) I think this game might be more fun from a 1st person perspective where you are holding the boom like in a fps. This is truer to the experience of being a boom operator (ie. it's hard!) but will feel more fun and funny being "on the ground" 3) When the level completes show the film camera view in full screen, replaying the movie from the camera's perspective. It's at this point you realise what a clumsy amateur you are (bad sound, boom hitting the actor's head etc.)

Lovely!

Cool concept! Shame that you've had to change projection for gameplay reasons. The effect of seeing different sides of the walls as the camera moved added a lot of dynamism and depth to the scene. With the new projection method it might as well be a 2D sprite based game. I wonder if there's a better way... perhaps you could keep the old projection style, but always have the camera centred on where the mic is, or perhaps on where the actor is.. such that when the mic is directly above the actor it will still appear clearly directly above as it should. I'm sure you could still have the actual viewport of the game that the player sees be distinct from where the centre of the camera is, such that the viewpoint centres on the player character if you wanted that. I reckon centering the camera on the actor wouldn't look bad though. After all, you have to keep pace with them anyway.

this looks really fun! subbed, looking forward to more vids!

Very interesting, I can't wait to see what comes next!

Awesome video man, lot of effort put into it. Keep it up!

There was no short supply of it in Philly in the 90s.

looks cool

Hey man! Im working on a boom operating game also!! I'd love to chat with you if you're down... Couldn't find a contact for you so posting here!!

In the film Pulp Fiction, the character Vincent Vega, portrayed by John Travolta,orders a Vanilla Coke in the 50s nostalgia themed diner.

I'm commenting on this before it becomes the number one played game by streamers in 2024.

Vernors is bottled under the Keurig-Dr. Pepper brands of drinks, along with RC Cola, Snapple, 7up, and A&W Root Beer. You might be able to find some through one of their affiliates. I live in the Midwest, and get it all the time.

I'd appreciate liking store brands colas more, yet they seem to lean toward the cinnamon/raisin scale, whereas I've come to accept I'm more citrusy Pepsi drinker.

Love the shack!

And the Waterian saga reaches it's epic conclusion! Only one question remains: How did you survive the explosion Steve? As for the cola taste test, it really shows just how distinct Coke and Pepsi really are in their flavors. I do notice that with most other Cola brands, the flavor tends to be kinda the same. In fact, I mostly find that they tend to take after RC Cola, another big American brand cola, as far as flavor goes. Really looking forward to the next season and the Chip Ship.

Great video as always Steve, hoping the US has the full sugar version on the freestyle machine like it does in Canada.

Yurrr

First! Thanks to The Shack I now know what a cordial is! Since I've been on my own for some time now, I really enjoy picking up new information!
