Hello, I'm a game developer with 8 years of experience. I'm currently working on a new game based of all most popular parkour games. Here is a short (bad) description of the game.

In this open world game, you can traverse through a huge city by vaulting, climbing ladders, jumping off buildings or just... falling. Play with your friends and race against each other across the city, create your own private server with friends to just run through the city and visit the beautiful view of the endless sea. Level up by running fast, and doing cool tricks. Climb huge buildings up to 1000x the height of the player, explore the city's and find new areas or just hangout and chat with your friends on top of the world.🎉

Finished all the base buildings in blender, importing to unity now thinksmart

#

We gotta a bit a materials to add mad

#

Why do I feel these ladders and sky and bright colors feel like mario?

#

Packed all buildings into individual prefabs for easy access of adding new buildings.

Cant wait to see some footage!!

#

Finished a lot of the map, just slapping down buildings randomly and hopping they fit together lol 🤞

#

Lot's of baking required just for a hundred buildings...

Finished the main logo for the game and also a thumbnail, feel free to leave feedback on it because I don't know if this is good enough for a capsule on steam.

Tried out the game in the build and it's definitely fun and looks actually really nice.

#

Oh man this is from 1 day of work... github won't even allow me to upload it.

teal hemlock
#

A clip for the preview trailer... please note the right of the city is not done yet.

teal hemlock
#

Got a hand model in for the first person arms which hopefully work...

teal hemlock
#

Got some basic walking animations done...

#

Working on rolling and tricks now in a new script since my old parkour script had some... variables

#

what i noticed from the trailer is that your building assets are likely way too small scale, it looks like youre either a giant or the city is mini

#

also whats the concept behind it, whats motivating the player to purchase and play your game, so far it looks like a novelty game that you play for 3 minutes and then you stop cuz it gets boring cuz there is no objective

quiet lintel

#

yeah sorry but this is not worth 10€ like this.

#

even if its an immense labour for you, and experienced dev could throw that together in under 2 hours, thats nothing you can charge money for

#

there needs to be a LOT more content for the pricepoint of 10€ to be even considerable

#

like plenty of objectives, a general goal and atleast 4 more maps

rare crest
#

there are no streets, no people, no cars, nothing to make this look like an actual city

#

even if the cars and people dont have any ai and just stand around, that still makes the city look way better

teal hemlock
# quiet lintel 100% this is something I mentioned even more so with the price point being aroun...

First of all you don't just share the private information I'm giving you. Second of all I've explained multiple times to multiple people that this game is VERY VERY VERY early stages! I don't know what you guys are expecting, of course it has nothing. I've spent like a month on it only spending like 5 hours a week. I spent 2 hours alone just texturing the buildings and I'm taking my time. All of this effort is to make something good. There is so much more to come. Also this is first Unity game...

We could keep arguing about our points but just trust me, I'm still adding more. Plus it's my game.

rare crest
#

Also more objectives are coming, what objective do you have atm, from the trailer i dont see a single objective 😬

teal hemlock
#

Here are some.

rare crest
#

yeah you need actual objectives, like races with like points you have to hit in a certain time, kinda like your time trials. The rest of the points do not make a player come back

#

need something to challange them and give them a reason to play

#

alsoooo i have to disagree with the last point, they are not, they look like from 2006

#

unless youre planning on replacing them later on

#

then i didnt say anything

teal hemlock
#

I just threw together a couple building images from textures.com for now, we'll see. I might use cube projection to get the interior look maybe?

rare crest
#

but then youre putting up a trailer with these graphics, oof

teal hemlock
#

I don't have a trailer yet.

#

The games not coming out for like 7 months

rare crest
teal hemlock
#

It says Alpha

#

Hm, maybe I change it to say "extremely bad preview"?

rare crest
#

yes people dont care, atleast non gamedevs, they dont think alpha -> full game will fundamentally change the graphics, thats just how it is

#

lets say Freerunners Idea Showcase would prolly be a better title

#

then Trailer UnityChanThink

teal hemlock
#

Thanks for your feedback, even if it hurts my soul.

rare crest
#

Well im brutally honest, thats just how i be

teal hemlock
#

Is there anything you do like?

rare crest
#

The movement is insanly smooth and looks fun

#

so the main gameplay thing, is very solid

teal hemlock
rare crest
#

also the scale of the buildings are off, they look way too small ^^

rare crest
teal hemlock
#

I tried to make it fit.

#

I think it looks fine...

rare crest
# teal hemlock

make the building about 1.5 times bigger, you dont realise how big those windows are, those are offices

teal hemlock
#

Ok, one second let me try it.

rare crest
#

take the roof as a scale i would say

#

you see the door, it normally has like 20-30cm above your head left

teal hemlock
#

We'll see how it fits in later.

rare crest
#

and its prolly better to make the scale a bit bigger, so you feel like an actual small human in a giant city

teal hemlock
#

The movement system is nearing 1,500 lines of code...

teal hemlock
#

Finished placing all the buildings... oh man my fingers hurt 😭

rare crest
#

i hope all of those are prefabs so that you can quickly replace the model later on or the textures

#

otherwise

Seems fine to me personally but I guess some could have that problem in VR for sure it would be, if they don't like it they cannot buy. Personally I think it's really cool I would put up with the nausea myself personally if I had the issue.

Oh yah great solution if Camera movement makes you nausea then you have epilepsy even mild version of it anyway, it is good idea to account for it way more people have it then people most people realize. I am guessing you basing this on Mirrors Edge if you want voice over I will provide for cheap or free even whatever your comfortable with, I am fine with it because I think the project is cool plus help my resume thanks. I can get studio space for free and help me build a demo reel.

A lot of people like it.

teal hemlock
#

It's really hard for me to set up an steam page, so it's taking a while. 😦

#

Yeah thse are just textures for testing.

ivory mountain
#

Also the hands make it seem weird

#

But ig you will fix that on the launch
