I've known the channel for the wacky crypto project lol
He doesn't seem to pigeonhole games that use asset packs at all
Honestly I'm happy that the general public become more tolerant with asset pack usage, with recently calling out only low effort games that haphazardly use them as opposing to using them at all in any capacity.
When Jim Sterling initially popularize the term "asset flip", I'm inclined to think lots of bedroom coders become insecure for using asset packs at all.
oblique cloak
some of his videos he talks about how some of them are asset flips from the unreal marketplace with the same design from https://unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/fps-multiplayer-template
if he sees a game using this he will rip it apart xD
Oh for sure. no one does nothing but use the asset like PUBG did in the beginning.
quasi mantle
I'm sure many people still insecure about using asset packs to this day, myself included
Mainly because I can't model monsters
oblique cloak
100%
as long as you remesh, change skin, you should be fine
As a dev, im scared to be called out for anything ๐ฆ
thats why i make everything from scratch
tulip orbit
I make things from scratch cause I cant afford asset packs
why none of my game ever have sound, music, or anything other than Manny
quasi mantle
Well, I'm more scared to be called out as asset flipper. Even though it's still a solo project and I can't model monsters myself (and I can't afford hiring modeller this early).
My modelling only go as far as environment and simpler hard surface stuff like weapons. If I can make it from scratch in time, I'll do it.

Sure, but have you implement a feature by yourself from scratch because of plugin marketplace license traps?
oblique cloak
The way i think. If you game feels right, like the look mechanic and movement. the way you designed your layouts, im sure its not an issue
no one wants to play a game that uses turn and moveright.
lol
quasi mantle
I want my project to eventually have mod kit project files, and I'm afraid the marketplace license prohibits that because it doesn't say anything about distributing project files as mod kit
oblique cloak
I spent 4 weeks deving a whole component actor that creates an entire look mechanic based of every game, so every single player has the option to create how they want to use it
FOV, Monitor resolution, Mouse DPI, Mouse sens, windows sens,... everything you can think of

Pyramid head on ps2 ruined horror games for me.

oh well.
quasi mantle
IMO Silent Hill is one such horror games that got more personal with the psychological horror aspect and not just spooky scary supernatural beings roaming around (though SH1 kinda leans toward the latter, but the rest of the mainline games do get more personal)
Shame that indie horror games never do more personal psychological horrors - I guess that's too difficult to write (which justifies cheap low effort indie horror games)
Also you can't tell Horror Engine to make good psychological horrors ๐
broken sigil
If a game leaves you with a "wtf was that" and leaves room for theorizing then it was a good horror game
PT sadly might have been the last "game" that did that imo
zinc matrix
thats not very good approach, you should be telling the player what happened and not let them blank guessing ๐
unless youre planning to make lots of sequels
i never liked SH games btw
oblique cloak
some games take it to the extreme tho. idk i can't play them any more. i tried, the sounds the animations the lighting and visual effects all cause me to go in straight panic attack lol
quasi mantle
Leave the ending up to interpretation but not obvious to be a sequel bait
broken sigil
For me it always ruins the experience if from the start or half way through the game I know what I'm up against if it's a psychological horror game
It needs to stay a mystery
For example the movie Bird box does it very well, you never end up actually knowing what the "monster" is, just some hints
The biggest horror here is this damn autocorrect....

I liked it, would say it's pretty good and messed up

I don't think any of it matters for basic stuff. The only important thing is what kind of pen it has, and whether it's hard to use without accidentally triggering stuff with fingers whilst using the pen

Dear diary,
They did it again. They found where I live, sabotaged my belongings, and destroyed my 7th diary because I talk shit about those monsters.
This is the 8th one that I disguised as work notebook. I lost few pages from the junk writing that I did, but I have booked a train to go away from Shibuya, so there's little chance they caught this one.
Of course the landlord would tell the truth to those monsters everytime I go to the airsoft club, obviously to avoid any trouble, but now I can safely not giving a shit.
I hope next time I buy new diary book is because I ran out of pages, not getting torn down by talking shit about them.
They still hunt for me at anytime. I want to run away, far enough that they can't reach me once and for all.
I'll write more as I recollect my thoughts. I can't think clearly for now.

If it translated to turn based combat, a 1911 may deliver 7 hit in one turn, but you skip a turn for reloading it.
an MP5 depletes 15 rounds max per turn, reloading skips one turn.

In real time combat, melee weapons doesn't need reloading, and give damage in roughly the same intervals.
In turn based combat, melee weapons deal damage once every turn without skipping a turn in between

So I am trying to figure out how to implement something, but it's hard because I don't know what it's actually -called- lol.

Or get old until it gets released.
