@WaterMuseum_ i'm a mixed texel density truther

arctic eggs would have never survived any sort of QA. texel density is all over the place

My incredible 3D modeling skills have not gone unnoticed by the QA team

@desktop_trash looks so rad!

Silliness 100

@Skele_Models damn that sucks, do you need anything?

having a horrible time, emergency came up, these past 3 months have felt like the worst months of my life so far

@JaBArcade Thank you for your thoughts! It can be interesting to see what different people think is redundancy or not and whether they like it or not.

Very interesting how you can interpret this and what classes as “unique” If we are talking weapons you can split it over and over again ranged or melee are unique Sword, axe, ect is unique Long sword, short sword ect is unique Lightning element, no element ect is unique Does it scale with strength, dex ect ect is unique. If a recent weapon is 2 weapons that fit the exact same as from above, yeah I wouldn’t have them but just little tweaks like a long sword that uses a little more dex or a little more strength. Even that far down the chain. I think they are worth it Anyway ramble over. Good question though got me thinking!

Getting a general idea. In your experience, do you like redundant weapons / spells in your arpgs / souls-likes? For example, in Elden Ring there are a ton of weapons that are basically just reskins (scaling aside). Does self expression through slightly different items matter?

AHHH THIS IS SO COOL‼️‼️‼️ Truly one of the highest honors a creative can receive. Thank you!!!!!

@StudiosBunni yo that’s sick!!

added the Gryphon PLS-500 laser that the GIGN used on their SPAS-12s. they modified the spas and seemingly the laser itself to fit it onto the gun. very interesting

@maraganger look back is so good, but i think Goodbye Eri is my favorite standalone fujimoto work

read through fujimoto's short story collections (17-21, 22-26) and then re-read through look back... aaaaah, i need to lay down

I wanna spotlight a game that I think deserves more attention Abyss Veil is a narrative based genre bending game that I think is very special. It's got a great sense of atmosphere and cinematography that a lot of small titles lack. Great game. So much heart!

@NoQuarterSoft Peak Veil mentioned!!!!

@thneebdev nice work!! though i find it interesting you're including Master Hand in your game about climbing

Doing another pass at modelling the first person hand models. This time I used a premade rigged arm as a base and stripped it of its glove and sleeve. It’s gonna need some more work before it’s ready for the game tho :)

@Kureca8 what would a big evening procedural leggies prototype look like

a small evening procedural leggies prototype

@DadduDev i think A reads the best

Trying to decide which version to commit to. Which silhouette and colouring reads better? :) #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #rpg

@NotFuji_ i just think the artistic vision people care about includes big boobs

I have a really hard time believing so many people actually care about artistic vision when some of the most popular skyrim mods add giant tits to rocks.

@struc_ture great input! thank you!

@yuronkdev I'd say it's just a function of refinement. Ideally everything is unique. But you also need a base quantity of items for the game to feel like a game. So start with everything being same-ish, and with more time and ideas start making each item more special

@EnderRaccoonVT i see what you're saying. this is what i like in games, a bit of both. thanks for sharing your thoughts!

@yuronkdev I personally feel like as long as the reskins are novel enough, it registers as functionally different to me. If a particular weapon sounds a certain way that another doesn’t, that can sometimes be enough to make it more fun to use. A good mix of both approaches is what I like.

@tinto_gamedev okay sick, thanks for the input!!

@yuronkdev I prefer when everything is unique, but redundancy can be fun for people that like to customize their "fashion". An alternative could be to have everything unique but add some layer of customization, like dyes maybe.
