Two-Way Gaming

Solo Game Dev on his journey to full time game development. I also really like retro!

Cruiser vs. Cruiser combat action!

p.s. Sorry for the hiatus. Been super busy with college and other life events.

"Use meshes for cool effects!" they said. "Meshes are super useful!" They said.

Me 2 days later: wth is stencil masking? What do you mean meshes don't have sorting layers like sprite renderers?

Summer classes also just started. yay....

@RunWTheWolves I've always considered making a dungeon crawler at some point. I loved playing Lethal Company, and making a 2D retro version of it might be an interesting idea. The UI looks amazing here, by the way. Good work on that!

@gridandpixels As a retro lover myself, this game looks amazing! However, I must say that the coin collecting sound is very high-pitched, and I could also tell that the sounds stack if the player collects multiple at the same time. Might just be me, but that might be worth taking a look at.

@TheLotanos You always have to make things like this very obvious. I heard recently that game tutorials have to be really specific because players will so often overlook things in your game, even if they're extremely obvious, which can be frustrating for the player.

@RenaineGame So long as it's better than the boomerang from Don't Starve. That thing SUCKS!

Excellent work on the combat, btw. Looks really good!

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@ZiexDev I so want to make a game like this at some point. This looks so cool! I'll never tire of seeing these in my feed.

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@Min_minda_ha That waterfall is perfect! How'd you make it, if I may ask?

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@wxo516 This is so well done! Attacks are slow enough that it's still fair, but not so much that it's boring, and the attacks look like they'll be a lot of fun to learn and dodge. The rhythm you have here is perfect!

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@ivelsoul Excellent work on these. Very professional and pleasing to look at. AI isn't going to be replacing you anytime soon!

(Also, IDK how you function without a good cup of coffee in the morning, cause I can't!)

@lightgamesgb I have no idea what I just witnessed, but it was cool. Nice work on this!

@vibedeploy One guy for defense and another for ranged support.
It's a strong combo that is seen in many strategy games. Good work on this!

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@KidbashSL Looks like it's a mix of various different styles. I saw retro style, stop animation, sections with smooth animations and characters that look like Tomodachis. Pretty interesting vibe you have here!

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@ARK_mp12 Huh. This is a pretty interesting game you have here. The art style reminds a lot of Inscryption. Looks pretty fun too!

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@KrakenCombo Hey, that's why most developers make games to begin with. Just making fun games! And even for those that don't, fun value is still a high priority. Nobody is going to buy a game that isn't fun, after all!

If I may ask, how'd you make this effect? I'm genuinely curious.

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@asistersjourney Might sound strange, but this area reminds me a lot of the 'Waterfall' area in Undertale, just way more detailed. Same color scheme, and, you know, waterfall. Nice work on this!

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@AngryGoblinDev I really like this area. It emits a sort of 'evil' and forlorn aura about it. It also looks a lot like the corruption biome from Terraria. Pretty nice!

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@legal_cube Man, this reminds me of those worm bosses from Terraria Calamity a lot. Devourer of Gods, is that you?!

I've always wondered how they achieved that kind of 'worm like' movement. It's really cool!

[Two-Way Gaming @Two_Way_Gaming_]

@SealedBite This is strangely satisfying. I like this! How'd you achieve this effect, if I may ask?
