Secret Santa 2019 (Sign-up)

I'm in!

I appreciate anything as long as it was made with love, though I tend to like more the artsy stuff. Especially something that I can use as a profile picture. I just love using them until the end of the year, like some kind of tradition for me.

But hey, if art is not your thing I'll still appreciate any other kind of gift. Just make what you feel the most comfortable doing. And if everything fails, steam games are also greatly appreciated.

Edit:
Here comes a more detailed list of what I would like to recieve:

ART: I realized that I asked for profile pictures yet I never provided any references or anything like that. So here are a few options:

Two characters for a future project:



My stickman: Is right there as my current pfp.

Strigidae:


For things outside of my own characters, well... I don't have any strong attachment to anything right now. Maybe My Little Pony?

My favorite game series (off the top of my head) are: Resident Evil, Mega Man, Castlevania, and Final Fantasy (only played the 2D ones tho)


GAME: Looks like it's a valid option to ask for steam games, I would post a link to my wishlist but nah, it would be too much. I'm ok with anything really, though I lean more towards strategy games and old-school games. Don't spend more than 5$ please.

OTHERS: Like I've said, I'm okay with almost everything. A review would be cool but I prefer when they come naturally. Don't force yourself to play my games just to write a review please, it won't end good for either of us. Heck, if you want to make a simple christsmas card that works perfectly too! Now, if I had to write a list of "Don'ts" then I would put custom resources on that list. I prefer making my own so it would be a shame to work so hard for something I wouldn't use that much.

Jello and the Valley of Duh Review

author=lavendersiren
Chapter 5 is probably the longest chapter in the entire game, especially considering it also has chapter 5.5 right after. It almost seems like its own game in terms of scope. However, the chapter count always ticks forwards after the party makes it back home.

What I want to know most is, if I were to make large changes, what directions should I take? Should I focus on the misfit found family themes of the second half? Should I focus on the nonsensical comedy of the first half? Should the serious elements be given early spotlight or scrubbed? Which plot threads should I focus on?
I don't know what to refine this game into anymore.


If you want an honest opinion (and hey, I think you yourself said it before) Don't feel pressured to make changes that you don't feel comfortable doing. Like your experience with RRR, where they made you add stuff that wasn't necessary at all and it didn't mesh that well with the game. Besides, the game is so big that making story changes would take a lot of work, and I don't know if those changes would work at all.

But if you really want to "refine" the game, well... Off the top of my head the things that need the most work are the plot with Jello's parents (It had so much buildup and it was resolved so quickly, without any big impact) and the tone shift of the last chapter (I'm actually ok with the plot of stopping Dialga, and even when the end of the world is near you still had some space to add comedy (for example, Giratina)). But like I said, it requires a lot of work to do (How do you change Jello's backstory without changing everything? What do you do with Raiblu?) so unless you want to make the game from scratch, I suggest you only make small changes.

Oh yeah, and you should focus on the comedic elements, even if they are nonsensical. Because (at least for me) that's what this game is all about, a fun comedic game where stuff just happens. A section that parodies Ace Attorney with a Kirby that copied lawyer abilities by absorbing the powers of a wig? A secret cult below a town that worships a Diglet? Visiting Giratina in the middle of their bath time to ask for help to stop an asshole Dialga? If you were to take out all of that, then the game wouldn't have anything that makes it stand out.

Nice! I'm in the top 200 in Makerscore rank, I gotta keep working to get to top 150.

Jello and the Valley of Duh Review

No problem! I think I was a little generous with the score compared to the other reviewers. A big difference though is that I actually finished the game. A lot more stuff happens in the second half that, while it's also random and nonsensical, it keeps carrying the same charm, even in the last chapter.

And that's what it boils down to me, really. The charm. I'm willing to ignore most writing and pacing problems just because the game is cute. (Which are understandable problems due to the nature of the game and its long development time) Plus I take into account that future updates will polish the game a little more.

Calabozo - Now in beta testing phase!

author=AtiyaTheSeeker
Excellent on making it this far! Hoping the beta goes well. Am tempted to ask if I could join, but don't know if I'll have the time to and I'm not the best critic around. Still, great work.


Thank you so much! And it's ok! Is the thought that counts. Expect a full (beta?) release in a few days though!

Rhythm Music Network Review

author=JustAShyDoge
I've never officially write a thank you post for you, so here it is!
Thank you for trying and giving me feedback!!
I hope the new update address most of the feedback you've given to me! If I miss any, feel free to tell me. Sometimes I might forget something.


No problem! I'll probably wait until that promised "content update" before updating the review or giving any further feedback. It's great to see that the game is looking better with every update though!

Your Game Dev Identity/Signature

Wow, I didn't expect so many responses, thank you everyone!

Yeah... I guess I was just overthinking things, being stuck in a box for all your life sounds like hell, no matter the media. Seems like everyone agrees that, while we can create games of all genres, themes or tones possible, our personal style will find a way to shine through, and that's what matters the most. Leaving your little mark in everything you do.
