If the loot your humanoids get is based on the results of the player's run, I think the required gear that they should need to get loot should also be based off of what the player took with them into the dungeon. Which would give the player an intresting optimization problem for dungeon runs where they want to take enough gear in with them to clear the dungeon, but not to much so that thier npc works repeat that run at a profit.

your armor should be the chance relative to the recommended damage level to avoid losing health in the dungeon. so if the rec. damage level is 3, and the armor is 1, than add them together 3 + 1 = 4. 1 out of 4 times you will avoid taking damage. getting armor should start midgame and should trail behind the rec. damage level of the dungeon. in late game, maybe all your dungeon delvers have armor, but some of it is still quite low.

Do you really need an armor stat? Similar games like Soda Dungeon abstract it down into just health and damage, which is all that really comes into play. Maybe increase it with like a Perception stat that increases the amount of loot obtained. And there could be some armor that gives less HP but more Perception.

That's such a cool concept

Seems many 2D devs compete for making characters with fewest pixels and least detail.

19:20 Not a programmer here, but my point of view is that it's great news if you feel like your system is really outdated : It means you progressed in video game making ! It's not even only an impression, for the UI especially, there's a huge difference between you before this project and now.

14:30, the tent Should cost less than 2 Hammoc or the Tent won't have any purpose since it's twice the size of the Hammoc for twice the capacity. It's even worse with the House since 5 Hammoc takes less space than a house for the same result.

12:42 Maybe you could use the armor stat to increase the time it takes for equipment durability to drop

What about the option of releasing an MVP with mod support ?

This looks great! I think you should release the mvp as a demo and once you release the demo you will get tons of messages to keep working on it. It's a great idea!

Hey, I think that in place of the armor for the dungeoneers, you could change to speed (or something like that)... And that speed dictates how much time the unit takes to finish, on top of your time... Just like the strengh stat, it takes a little bit more time on low speed and takes less time on higher speed...

Another great devlog! Keep up the great work you are doing with your channel ❤

Humanoids needs to poop. Add a poop system! :D

I think armor could work like the heart and the damage stats, where the more you have, the more loot you get, but it takes longer. So it would be like taking a smaller boost in damage and hearts, but with the caveat of taking extra time in the dungeon. Reason being that wearing armor slows you down, but makes you harder to kill and makes it easier for you to fight things

I do think this was a very ambitious project, but you should feel proud of what you've done so far. I think releasing the MVP then taking a break from it for a while (or maybe even forever) is a great idea. If inspiration strikes one day, you can always come back to it.

yaaaay new devlog!!

So cool. I hope to be as good as you one day. I’m also full time trying to learn programming but I feel like I can’t remember what I learned last week and can’t do anything without tutorials

how can I set a new target?

no

It is 3 months late, and I haven't seen the recent videos, but I thought about one way to make it more dynamic, kind of. You play as a dungeoneer as you said, but the "factory" is stored inside your backpack. If you go full on Sci-fi, you could make your body the factory, but that's a tangent. A mini portable factory that produces better materials and equipments from the dungeon's resources. You could go into fungi stuff if you want to keep it fantasy, little people, like an inch high people, drones, nano stuff for scifi... That way you don't change anything about how you usually traverse dungeons. Even resources flying over to you makes more sense. You can make it so that the factory is actually a source for energy for your character, etc. It sounds way out of scope, but it's a regular dungeon crawler with an inventory that is a canvas for a factory automation side hustle.

First sponsored add that I watched and did not think f - Very neat idea selling asset to people they watch devlogs

I keep getting null reference exeption on every part of the code that reference the target but I set the target correctly I dont understand.

Sign me up :D PA Titans is awesome. More of a SupCom vet myself, I think PA could have done the camera bit better. (actually working on something like that for a space game I'm coding)

How to join this jam

I love this video! It's nice that you feel free to talk about how you feel in your working days. I look foward to play this game!

I would 100% participate in a game jam you make if that’s something you want to do

I know you're already done with the game so this is unlikely to be helpful but maybe it will be anyway: For the replay system you might consider using the command pattern. For that you would take player input and record it in "command" objects. The command objects could be as simple as a string that says "grow" or "harvest", or it could be a structure with parameters and such. Then the plants would have a function that takes a command and does the appropriate action. That way you can record the commands into a list and play them back later. The plant doesn't have to care whether it's responding to live player input or a recording of the player. That way of doing things also works great for undo/redo systems or anything with similar needs.

We would be very interested in seeing it!!

Sick!!!

I like this a lot. Very good! Thank you for sharing. 😊

how can you join this jam

If you want to explore the initial idea of a strategy/management game of playing as a plant growing, I'm sure the book "The Secret Life of Trees" will give you plenty of information and ideas to figure out fun mechanics. Watching your video made me gamify many of the jaw-dropping biology mechanisms presented in the book (in my mind only, no gamedev skills or focus 😬)

if you made the borders darker instead of lighter they would appear less distracting and in a way smaller

Oh I guess I wasn’t in the Discord 🤦 maybe next time haha but I enjoyed this game, you entered in the jam early!

th-cam.com/video/gfYTBHX5FWI/w-d-xo.html - I used this asset pack too! Did you buy the transformations?

02:34 did I just experience a war crime?

A bit disproportionate flashbang of noise there. 3:30

I'll ignore your coffee machine atrocity since the game looks amazing. How did you get so much done in the first day!?

I have a feeling that those stains will still be on the coffee machine a year from now.

This looks cute, I wanna see more! Also something that's been bothering me for a bit, it sounds like you keep interrupting yourself because your voice is overlapping at the end of most of your sentences. It honestly startles me every time because you start your sentences a lot louder. Please finish your line before the next one, I can't take it X)

everytime it's so good to see someone else who doesn't care about a hyperclean espresso machine! I often thought about to bring in coffee making scenes in my earlier videos... but never got the bravery to do it!

I love when you think about a new game, you are so creative!

Very creative idea for the theme! I'm awful at puzzle games, but I will definitely give this one a try. It seems like you didn't want to do it for this project, but when up-resing the minifantasy assets, have you noticed a drop in quality or especially readability? I have pretty poor vision and it's hard for me to see the details in those 8x8 sprites, and especially in pixel style fonts at that scale.

Oh nice am *somehow* early ;-; Just here 2 mark me spot Edit: third btw

Nicee!!

Cool new video😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍

I can't seem to get it working when the enemies are moving

Actuallly nice system. To improve it even further (performance wise), try to limit the amounts of scripts (MonoBehaviours). It might become pretty important, even in your game when you've got a insane amount of projectiles in the scene. Also think about Object Pooling, which is commonly used for systems like that. Great Job!

watching this at midnight was a bad idea. I actually got flashbanged by ur visual studio xD
