วีดีโอ

I made a game trailer which is worth watching, unfortunately I don't have the skills to make a real game, not yet :D

400 people cared about some random game in the garbage can that's steam. How is 400 not a good number? It's an incredible number.

Is he saying credit or krita

Hey, man. Can you please tell me what number you use for Pixels Per Unit for your sprites in Unity?

Anything to do with coding lol a clip of someone smashing a PC haha

1:26 this might've been the first time I've heard Krita pronounced as cry-ta; fitting 🤣

This game seems interesting, the first video I saw of it gave me vibes from a card game I used to play called summoner wars. It’s a tactical card game that has dozens of different themed decks. Perhaps if you get stumped on new creature ideas you could get inspired by some ideas from there. I went to wishlist the game and found that you changed the name, honestly I hated the other name. Not only did I not understand the name i didn’t know how to spell it either. Not sure dungeon croaker is the best name either since this name is a bit generic but still its way better than the last imo. good luck finishing the game.

skipping the importing the image part got damn

Awesome! Just the video I needed, thanks mate

Why the 1000 ppu in umity? Could you provide some more details on this? Should thos match the size of the file ? Or the ppi of the image? The outline of my sprites look blury but yours look clean.

You could make difrent enemies have difrent inteligence level Some are dumb like big brute who will always take the shortest path to you no matter how many lata blocks will he have on the way The one with chance And one that always will dodge Flying enemies could be immube to them As for enemies Could have A suporting enemy that euthers -buffs attack -makes other guy immune -heals A single enemy Charger Enemy that attacks in straight line Like rook in chess Frog themed enemies 1) bugs for weaker ones that frogs eat -flies -crickets -Butterflies Large spiders like tarantula are can kill a frog so more like mini boss Fish -pikes agresive speedy fish -catfish large whiskey fish that cmsome times has poison , and ones that shock you with electricity THATS another thing You have water tiles maybe bave enemy that can use electricity making all water tiles next to eachother deal damage Birds -storks are in Poland most recognised for huntning frogs Mushrooms -amphibians becouse of thier Cold body and slime are more like than mamals to by infected by types of fungus There are some really cool mushroms desgins to use

Twist board game idea I thach this is a good idea pleas a board games dude is just you got a good haer and it can be came well a bora game pleas dude

Great video and the very best of luck with your game!

dumb request/question it bothers me that when the character jumps from tile to tile his sprite is just being moved around, Have you thought about creating the jump sprites? Because if he has legs he is suppose to walk not jump, but if hes a frog he propably likes to jump. haha sorry for bothering ya

I know the art probably isn't 100% final but I think the dice stand should be based on the tileset your currently in. The gold looks a bit out a place to me personally.

can you help me to work with you as a collaborator,

Woaaah new demo! I wasn't aware; I'll have to give it a try. I haven't played Dungeon Croaker in a second but I question why a player would want to use resources for something that is so uncertain and potentially detrimental (losing a random relic). The game is great and the art style and little animations initially brought me to the game!

Humbly requesting you change it so you can choose which relic gets sacrificed. I don't think most players will ever use this so long as they have any relic they don't want to risk losing, which is likely most of the time. Otherwise great devlog!

thanks for sharing!

This is the best game as there us gambling

I think it should be a relic you choose, which then gets changed randomly (good vs bad RNG)

I prefer longer devlogs. Great video nevertheless!

This game reminds me of The Land Beneath Us

I like the format, but absolutely not the sound effects.

The shrine sprite dont match the game art style and pov. Its isometric view, 3/4, where the rest of the game is directly facing us. Put the shrine next to a chest to see the wrong ;). But nice feature

I prefer videos that are straightforward, informative and don't waste my time. However long you want to make the videos I'm cool with since I'll watch all of them 👍

alternative title: How I Ruined My 2 Year Long Game!

As a programmer that want to be game dev, and for now has a project running over a year and half already, just can tell you, amazing job man, i hope live from making games in a point of my life, for now, i'am strugglinh to keep everthing on place to even continue my own project. It all started as a vampire survivors like game, and now is kinda more complex, i'am trying to polish what i had and finish a first version, because i had some screens like shop screen and library (to show stats of each enemy kills) that are not finished, even my inventory screen need some work... Also, i had a lot of stuff without sound effects, almost getting any noise and put when need to sound something, also my music is two tracks a made using a beepbox webpage that leet us make music in basic style... The art is a pixel art that i just put together, and the entire code, i made using javascript and build a chromium to run the project, i saw someone that made it available in steam using this method, with achievments and stuff, soo, i kinda was okay with it LOL

You could make a rank by version, soo, anyone that is already high in old version will keep a prestige, and new updates will be easier to implement

I would love to see some updates to the Demo. But if your really worried about effecting times you could make so there is beta versions for each variation of the game like what tModLoader has.

The focused Devlogs are also great maybe do them alternately.

If you want to add a last, risky bet for the player that doesn't have enough Spirit, you can introduce a chance of losing the wagered relic without getting anything in return, based on how much Spirit the player is short. E.g. if it normally costs 30 to gamble, and the player has 18, then the player may spend the 18 to spin the wheel but with a 1 - (18 / 30) = 40% chance of losing the relic.

I don't think the gambling will feel good in its current state. I imagine it will feel really bad if the player replaces a relic they were relying on. Players won't want to risk losing anything and they'll just ignore the shrine. They definitely won't want to pay for it because they'll see it as a penalty. An alternate system is you let them pick the relic to replace, and then give them 2 options to replace it with. Players need to have more control over the RNG to see it as a net benefit to their run so that they'll opt into it.

Really cool add-on, the vibe of the shrine is a little bit outside of the rest of the game tho Would have make more sense if it was a stone statue I think

LETS GO GAMBLING

It would be cool to stick to the dice theme of the shrine and instead of a card, have a die roll on the screen, with 6 potential relics that the chosen relic could transmute into. Functionally it is the same, but it fits more thematically (imo) and you can also do stuff like have 1 side of the die be a rarer relic, and the rest of the sides being equal rarity, or any combination of that sort.

The devlog format is great! Honestly, we're lucky that you make these videos. Whatever works best for you is great!!

The stats screen at 2:24 is super useful! Always nice when a game includes a comprehensive overview of what your items actually do. That being said, I think it might be a little cluttered given that all stats are displayed despite most of them not currently being affected by any items, such as the immunities. It might be nice to color stats green if they're not at their default values (or red if the game will have items that debuff certain stats). For the boolean stats and stats with a default of 0 or 0% you could even hide them until they change, though I'd still make them green once they appear so the player can see at a glance what's buffed.

Randomness is great! It adds so much complexity, with somewhat simple mechanics! However, talking from experience, balancing all the randomness makes my head hurt sometimes... 🥲 Sometimes, something being unbalanced is a feature, though. 😀

It might be more fun to receive and lose your relics with an animation similar to a game of Roulette. Just a thought 😅

You have my humble permission to push the gambling change 😂 If it makes the demo easier to beat, I'll have to re-earn my spot, but I'm all here for it :D Generally though, it's a nice change to combat the extreme RNG mechanics, so I like it, but I'll have to try it out a bit to see how much it really matters. Great video, as always! :)

i am pretty sure you are a fake, there is no way your videos are these good and the game looks this good this early. joking ofc, great job man, this is my favorite dev series to watch

Let's go gambling!

I like the idea of adding additional randomness to the game! I have one question though, do you plan on adding cursed relics or relics that apply a significant debuff as a tradeoff for something else, and if you do plan on adding cursed relics will there be a separate shrine for those items?

Lemme know what you guys think of this style of devlog 👍

i love your art style can you create a video about it

my main problem is how can i separate the body parts

I played the game, it's very cool but for me it missed some littles things : - I find the movement speed quite slow, almost one 1 sec or more to wait each time, my brain work much faster, I always have the impression to wait a long time before making my next move. - If I don't have any more enemies (or maybe not), I'ld like to be able to directly go to the exit, if I click on the exit or the chest and my Player go towards it each move, instead of do it my self a lot of time. - The UX of the UI can be better I think, I didn't see directly the enemy info, it out of my focus range, the eye need to almost exit the game to have access to it. For a better UX, the info I need, must be close enough to not escape my eyes from the game (the distance to info ux rule). Same thing for the other UI - When I touch the "escape key" my timer continue to run. It's more logic to stop it If I don't play the game. - I find the sound repetitive and it could be have more variety for the background music and effects

Hey, i've got a fun idea. I see that there are a lot of status effects and things happening on screen when hitting. I don t know how the damage is going to be distributed, but for example if you suddenly deal a ton of damage at the same time it would be nice to see the fact that it was a powerfull attack by making some sort of animation with the damage numbers, like hitting a jackpot for example, i hope you got the gist. i am sure you could make something very pleasing that maybe would add to the excitement of the player.
