I make games sometimes and post them on itch 💅. RN working on idle-strategy game called IDLE EMPIRE(deep in development, to be announced)

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

I've done something neat for #screenshotsaturday. I tried to record the essence of the gameplay of my idle-strategy #indiegame in a timelapse. This is one of the end-game builds you may choose. Plz like, react as this is my first time doing video editing 👉👈

@ninza_game me reading this rn and thinking: where would i find bamboo grass here in my climate ._.

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

@ninza_game oh thanks:) it is smooth because it runs locally lol :) but i found out that it can be smooth online if i do some networking hacks

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

my idle strategy is in polishing balancing phase and that's tough so I took some time to do a side story: to learn a netcode in #unity and make a small game. No graphic though..
This is my 1 day progress

I dunno about you but I always start games as these circle-square-triangle prototypes... Sometimes I do a graphical mockup but mechanical prototyping with just the shapes is soo much better

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

I will say that I really had a theory that grid based is more strategic in nature, as it is rigid and positional, but when i did it it looked like in the context of my game that is... an exception? And it is way more natural to just place buildings freely

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

Sometimes, when you do #gamedev you think:
"hmm.. what if.. grid😏"
then you think:
"Hmm.. what if.. isometry🤨"
then you hack for 3 hours, understand that it looks and plays like GARBAGE so you throw it away.
Then you think:
"I will post in on Twitter"

@ninza_game I was planning to post an itch demo of mine till april the 1st 👀🙃

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

@ninza_game the guy that is really intriguing in these posts is that flying fish wanderin around all the characters:)
Someone needed to address this elephant in the room

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

Idk but sometimes I feel crazy doing gamedev :)

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

This is something I always laugh about -- the icons for blob's velocity upgrades in my idle-strategy #indiegame. I tried to make a "never skip a leg-day" jokes out of them 🙃
(Btw they(blobs) have names. The central one is Karl & the right one is Bobby)

@yolwoocle_ Oh, pikuniku! Yeee there is something from it here :)

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

@cluosion @notch so true, being the student for the last 4 years I may for sure say that there was this transition about a year ago when the professors started to say "well you ALL use ai now, so you just do your assignments faster", hence more wierd tasks without emphasis on understanding...😞

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

@hopeslicergd For me taking a break helps too, but then I just forget important stuff._. though return my motivation and ability to think as a player about whether I see in the game

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

@hopeslicergd That is really true. I try not to trust myself ans do in-person playtests with 2-3 new player then do some dev for 1-3 weeks to solve the main problems from the playtests. This actually prioritizes my todos and make me think about real problems with a game..

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

@ninza_game someday he will successfully get to the top of this slippery slope ;)

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

@AmberwindGames played it for about an hour on itch (in april/may?) Though the genre is not really my thing I appreciated the care with which the game is made. The ui is insanely well crafted and there are all these subtle animations and detais on interactions. Really well done

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

@orgunbertan Yea, I was surprised about half a year ago that you can just upload your game and get netural traffic.. This platform is really something that is still associated with indie today

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

It looks like at some point in life all the gamedevs should make a frog game 🐸.
(mine is in a prototyping stage for a while, but now I dont do it :/)

[Albadron ._. @RussianNotation]

@TheGamerHotspot This is my main last week result. The tutorial section. Next up is a playtest but before it some bugfixing & balancing to stabilize the play

Lots of stuff is happening but the next week I'm finishing my internship & have a little gap to do more #gamedev.
For now I'll show what I've done before a playtest (a little rough version of a tutorial). This'll be both a tutorial & a starting menu later.
